Hello world!

I get home and sit down, and think "Boy, it's nice to be completely caught up on editing. What should I do with myself?" And then I remembered the fact that I am the WORST blogger ever...


I did not mean to leave you all for so so so long!!! I am mortified to think of how long it's been since I posted. At one point, THIS was my only means of expressing myself for so long, and I can't believe I abandoned it. It feels like I abandoned ME! But alas, I have returned. After a long hiatus (quite possibly 5 months or more... lol).

Soooooo GUESS WHAT?! I'M MARRIED!

The Dominican was absolutely gorgeous and everything with the wedding was so stunning. Except me, I was kind of a disaster, BUT that doesn't matter because I married my absolute best friend in the entire world!

My new job is going incredibly well, and my photography.... well let's just say I freaking love my 2nd job. It's not even a job, it's just something that I so love to do that I don't really remember what my life was like before I started it. Well I do... but now it just seems so empty! I am so pumped for 2011, I have my very first destination wedding in April in Mexico, a wedding in Vancouver, another one back in my home town (not birth town though) of London, Ontario. So many exciting adventures, wonderful people, and cool places!!

What else is new.... OH I tried a Starbucks Frappucino (sp??) for the first time EVER. OH MY GOSH. How did I ever exist without these?! Probably the greatest discovery all year!

Anywho, I will depart for now, but promise to keep an updated blog. Not posting every 5 months or so, but I'll try to make it a weekly thing. :)

Ok, I MUST have horseshoes up my bum!!

I applied for a provincial government job about a month ago, went through all of the interviews and what not, and got the call today that I GOT THE JOB!!!!!! I am soooo ecstatic! WOW. AMEN HALLELUJAH!! Right before the wedding, this truly is an awesome wedding present. :)

8 Week Count Down!

WOW, only 8 more weeks to go until I step foot on the paradise that is Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! I will be sitting on the beach with my fruity tropical beverage in hand, waiting for it to be Friday so that we can finally be MARRIED!! I am so beyond excited to be going away, it's been almost 3 years since my last vacation.

I think I deserve it after everything we have gone through in the last 2 years.



Graduating from College (Me)

 Switching careers (Josh)
Josh got his license to drive a transport truck! Which lead to him getting a sweet job!


Working while going to college (Me)
 If you click here , you can see an article I wrote for my college paper. When you get to that page there is another link that says click here to view more articles written by the author. It was awesome to be able to do something that I love and get paid for it. 


Moving across the country (Both of us)

Finding my first real after-college-related job (Me)

Planning a wedding (Us)
As most of you know, planning a wedding can be quite the stressful affair. We tried to keep it as low stress as possible, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. This has been our "baby" for the last year and a half, and we are so incredibly happy with what we have done. Thank you to everyone who helped us out too, because without you our wedding wouldn't have been the same.

Going to University (Me)
After I graduated from College, I wanted more! Since we moved to another province right after, I decided I would go to University to get my bachelors degree. I have slowly been working at it, since I can not afford to go full time since I work full time.

Starting up my photography business (Us)
This has been an exciting journey for us. I say us because I would never have been able to do this without the support and encouragement from Josh. :)

It has been an exciting journey through life, and I hope the next 8 weeks are as awesome as the last 4 years in our relationship have been.

HELLO AGAIN WORLD!

Hurray for the weekend! I feel like I have been drowning in the pile of things to do. Work, school, photography business. AHHHHH!!! Ever just want to run away to a remote island off the map where they don't believe in telephones? I know I sure wish I could right now. Although, I couldn't really live without my phone because I love talking to my mom way too much. I'm sure J wouldn't mind though, he hates the phone.

Yesterday I got some LOVELY chocolate covered strawberries delivered to my work from my gorgeous man! 


They day before that I got some beautiful flowers from my boss because of Administrative Professionals day. I completely forgot about it.


It was a great week with all of my nice surprises, but I am still so tired from all of the small things I had going on. I hope May works out to be a little less stressful. I started a class at the University of Calgary on Monday's and Wednesday's (which I have to leave right after work to get there on time and don't get back home until 11-ish at night). I am also going to start swimming. I need to exercise, but ever since my back incident happened I haven't been able to, so this will really help.

Anyways bloggers, have a fantastic weekend! I hope to be able to keep up with my blogging more frequently!
