Outdoor Living

Yesterday involved a lot of relaxing, recovering from the weekend, and catching up with some of my sisters...I've been missing my friends from home SO much lately! I love it here, but sometimes it feels so far away!
I'm starting a new project shortly- Spicing up my porch! It's time to make it into a supreme outdoor living space! We basically face a jungle in the backyard, which makes it the perfect relaxation spot. Here's me, hanging out there yesterday!
Have an awesome day loves!

Blue Sky, Blue Water

Morning Dolls!
After my few days in Florida and Charleston, I'm SO ready to move to the beach! One thing I've known my whole life is that I need to live near the water. Well, this might just be my dream house- and I'm totally willing to relocate to New Zealand! Talk about indoor-outdoor living...Who's coming with me?!
Hope everyone has an awesome Wednesday!

Beach Time!

I'm SO excited for my little weekend getaway! I'm heading to Florida with my brother, sister cousin, and a few friends! I've been going a bit nuts lately, trying to figure out what to do with my life- career related- so it'll be awesome to get some sun and refresh my brain...or just turn it off for a bit! Here's what I'm looking forward to when we get there...

The BEST Ceasars (for all my Americans who might not know- A Ceasar is a Bloody Mary made with Clamato juice- SO much better!) ever! Thanks to some good coaching by Neil last year, I think I'm up for the challenge!

Getting some (LOTS!) of sun on this pasty bod! I will try to not to burn!

A little shopping! Enough said...

Some fun beach volleyball! (can I come home with this bod, too?!) :P

Just hanging with my bro and sis and friends like old times. I'm just so excited to have some time with the people I love, because living so far away from the rest of my fam gets hard sometimes!

See you soon! I'll be sending you all lots of sunshine!!!

Boots with the Fur

I'm looking for a pair of boots that are over-the-knee, but can be folded down- fur is key! I tried on the ones on the right at Nordstrom- Sam Edelman, $198 Ugh, they are so cozy and pretty! A little pricey though...BUT, then I came across the ones on the left on the American Eagle website for $79. Hmmm...now they look pretty similar, don't they!? Yes, the fur on the AE ones looks a little less soft, and they are a bit more scrunchy, but all in all, pretty close huh!? Although I haven't seen them in person, I think I might try the AE ones. For a $120 savings, it's worth a try! What do you guys think!?!

Holi-daze

Here is a mini-montage of random holiday pics- it was such an awesome Christmas! I overpacked- as usual, drove 10 hours with my fiancee to Florida- shopped along the way, gave huge hugs to the fam, spent a whole afternoon underwater taking pics, I went to the beach, hung out with family I don't get to see enough, made gingerbread houses, ate Christmas food, talked about the wedding, shopped, watched tons of Christmas movies, got to wear my new Katy Rodriguez dress and brightest lipstick I own, hung out in the sun, and just generally had a super fun time! Home now, and I miss everyone- and the sunshine! But, I get to do some more work on our house which is exciting! I didn't make any resolutions this year- I guess I usually don't because I forget about them after about 2 weeks! Did you guys make any? Hopefully everyone had an AMAZING holiday and I know 2010 is going to be the best year yet!!! XOX

Milestones

For today, I'm going to give you a sneak peak at some engagement pics! I'm SO excited to plan and can't wait 'til I stop being distracted by silly school work!
We move into our new house this weekend, which I'm VERY excited for too! It will be an intense weekend of packing and unpacking...just looking forward to having our own place to decorate! So much to do...I hope everyone's week is going well! Hugs from NC! xxx

The River Wild

A few weeks ago when I was at the cottage, my cousins, brother and I decided that we'd do a float trip down the river. We set off and it quickly took a dangerous turn when I realized we were approaching HUGE rapids! It was all funny because we made it out safely, but we're just lucky that no one got sucked down. After dragging ourselves out of the river (with our unconventional rafts in tow) and heading downstream a bit, we had an awesome time in the fast flowing current- sans rapids!

Getting ready to go. We had no idea what was in store for us...

Me and my buddy! (yes, i look a little nuts! haha)

Only the beginning of the "danger zone"!

The calm before the storm...

SuMmErTiMe!!!

SO happy to say that yesterday was also the start of SUMMER! Time to hit the BEACH, people! It's finally warmed up in Toronto too (about freakin' time!) and now we can get out our summer stuff for REAL! I know it's Monday, and we're all headed to work, but here are a few inspiration pics, to get you thinking, dreaming, planning the days and weekends off! No Monday blues today...it's SUMMERTIME and it's running through your veins!

Mermaids Unite

Our pool is open and it's time to get in the water! It's also time to get a new bathing suit- maybe a new body too. haha. Here are a few from VS that are super cute! I've seen so many that I like, but haven't found that perfect one yet. It is HOT here today, so I just might have to stop by the pool before school!

Easter Bunny, I Love You!

Time to break out those pastels again, Chickies! I'm going to look for my pastel plaid suit, hiding in the back of my closet somewhere. It is GORGEOUS here this weekend, so if anyone needs a place to go, let me know!
I hope you all have a super fun Easter and spend lots of time with family and friends!
Huge Bunny Hugs!

Stuntwork

Yesterday at lunch, Aaron, Zac, Ben and I went outside to take some pictures! Aaron set up some of his flashes for good lighting and we were ready. We were showing off how strong and aerodynamic we are! I discovered that while my jumping skills are fantastic, my landing skills require quite a bit of work! ouch...



I am so strong that I can lift Aaron with one hand!


When he makes me mad, I pretend to go for a high five and then use my superpowers to throw him into the wall (he left a body imprint in the house).

Zac gets very angry at Aaron as well! He is so strong he can throw aaron over the house.



I am so happy when I fly!


Aaron does many tricks and flips.


Ben has some sweet vertical!


I let Aaron fall slowly. Even with doom approaching, he is in high spirits!
