Day 114- July 12- Gabrielle Doucette

Busy days of summer! Tonight I had lots on the agenda; workout right before supper, quick bite, kayaking course at Milo, then Gabrielle's birthday party at Doolys with the girls. We chatted over a drink at first, then enjoyed a little two on two pool. Gabrielle and her colleague versus Sandy and I. We were fairly evenly matched, well, more like Sandy and I had some pretty lucky shots! Ha ha ha! It was a great time as we always have out together!

I met Gabrielle for the first time on Valentine's Day. How romantic, I know! I was meeting some of my other friends, such as Natasha and Sandy, and their husbands, at the annual Chunk of Funk birthday bash. Sandy invited her and her husband, Flav to come along with our crew. I knew she was a pretty cool gal when she and Sandy actually managed to convince me to go out on the dance floor for a few songs, a very difficult task. I also really appreciated her sense of humour when her ice water with lemon arrived with a coffee creamer floating in it, we had lots of laughs over that one- "Order the lactose free milk next time!" (See photo below for evidence!)



Gab has tonnes of energy and charisma. I think that is why I like her so much, she is almost always up for any plan. Whenever I talk to her she is always on the way to hockey or coming home from ultimate frisbee or planning her next trip to the cottage for seadooing and swimming. I'm glad that Sandy introduced us. When the group of us gals get together I always leave with a sore face from laughing so much. Gabrielle seems to really enjoy everything that she does, she seems to embrace life, her family, her friends and every experience that life brings her way. I love her positivity, it's something I have always valued in my own life and it means a lot to find it in someone else! She's the kind of person I like to surround myself with! Hope you had a fab birthday girl!! Thanks for the pics!



Nah, she's not a show off... Oh wait!







Theme Song for today: California Gurls (feat. Snoop Dogg) by Katy Perry

(This song comes on the radio all the time and when it does I can't stop singing along, it makes me feel like summer, road trips and laid back, fancy free time on the beach!)
