On Friday, Ryan took me to The Cheaper Show where art is displayed from emerging or established talented artists and sold for $200 no matter the market value. This was The Cheaper Show's 10th anniversary in Vancouver. It takes place only once a year, and I was so excited to be able to come to the pre-show event to check out some of the art, especially knowing that a large percentage of it was from locals in Vancouver. On a side note, people watching at this show was just as interesting as some of the art.

Happy Father's day to all the fathers out there and especially my favourite papa in the world! He is inspirational, strong, devoted, loving, caring, kind, funny (most of the time) and just the BEST. I wish I could spend the day with him more than anything. I hope all fathers out there have a wonderful day with their loved ones. I love you papa.
I still can not believe the riot that took place last night (see here for pictures). People are suffering around the world due to lack of freedom, poor government, etc. and it disgusts me that people chose to create this destruction in such a beautiful city for no reason. It was an absolute disgrace and extremely devastating to watch unfold. However, the rioters do NOT represent Vancouver as a city at all. In fact, the majority of the rioters were not from the City of Vancouver. Seeing people coming together today in all ways, including to help clean up, reminds us what Vancouver is really all about. I love Vancouver.
Some pictures from my first half marathon! Thanks to Ryan for taking the pictures. I felt so good after running and as challenging as it was, I definitely would like to run one again. My nerves got the best of me the night before the race so I want to try to do more training next time to feel more confident going into it. What are some other good marathons to run in Vancouver besides the BMO?
