2015: My Year in Review

Happy New Year!!

Holy moly 2015 was a jam packed year for me. I didn't even realize how much I had done until making this blog post. I am so grateful for the places I got to explore and for the amazing people in my life.

Dublin, Ireland
This year I went to visit my good friend Kate in Dublin, Ireland. I stayed with her in her adorable home, hiked along the cliffs, explored Wicklow and downtown Dublin and met her amazing family.

After a week in Dublin, Kate, James (Kates Fiance) Anna (Kates Sister) and Gary (Kates Cousin) went to relax and explore Ibiza for a week.

Old Town Ibiza
I fell in love with this place. The cobblestone walkways and architecture nearly made me cry. It felt like I was on a movie set, I couldn't believe this was a real place.

This restaurant in the heart of Old Town was so romantic

Cowichen Bay

In the summer Andy and I went to visit my friends Curtis and Ken in Cowichen Bay. They were renting an adorable cabin and we stayed in this boho-chic yurt for a weekend.

To end off our year with some relaxation, Andy and I went to Punta De Mita, Mexico to lay by the pool, lay by the beach and get massages...

New Addition

I finally took the plunge and bought myself a new car!! It's been  few years of transiting everywhere, it was time!!

This year was the first year Andy and I got a christmas tree

I can't forget...

I enjoyed spending the year with my boyfriend and best friend Andy..

And I can't forget Robyn..

And my little man Jesse..

Of course the whole year wasn't a crazy adventure. There were highs and lows as there always are but overall it was a pretty good time. I can't wait to see what 2016 brings, so far nothing planned but turning 30, eek!!

Thank you so much for reading. I may not post five days a week this coming year. It may be more like three times but I'm just going to play it by ear.

I wish you all the best in 2016!!

2014- What I am Grateful For

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Now that it is officially 2015 I want to take a moment to remember the year passed, the highlights and everything and everyone I am so grateful for!!The highlight of 2014 for me was definitely when Andy and I went to Disneyland and drove up the Coast to San Francisco. Disneyland was so much fun and the drive up the Coast was the most beautiful drive I have ever done!! Also eating in San Francisco was a delight!! Here are some of my favourite moments from our trip...

 Andy found this gem in Santa Barbara, BEST mexican food I have ever had!!

The fact that I got to go on this trip with my best friend and the man I love all the times made this trip perfect :) 

 This year was also one of the first years in a LOOONG time I actually enjoyed Christmas!! I have a little Christmas baggage but this year was relaxing and fun thanks to these wonderful people in my life... my family :):)

In August, Andy and I spent a weekend in Whistler. Hiking Black comb, Dinner at Barefoot Bistro and Massages. It was such a relaxing weekend.

 I also changed jobs this year and started working at Moe's Home Collection. I've met some great friends and fell in love with all the furniture and home decor.

I hope you all take the time to reflect on your year and appreciate all the amazing things and people in your lives!!
