I've been right back into the busy life since being home from Christmas. Lets put it this way.. coffee has become my new best friend! haha. I'm loving the new place I am living and the space I have for myself :) I like that fact that my roomate has a dog (Molly), she's definitely kept me company on the lonely days. Although the vacuuming up hair part can get annoying, I'll just never have my own inside pet! I've started cooking a little more than I used to.. maybe I'll eventually master it! haha.

I'm still working on making a lot of big decisions in my life as to what it is I really want to do.. But I know the right opportunities will present themselves at the right time. I just need to continue to have patience and trust that God has got it all under control :)

I've been learning how to snowboard again! Amidst the falls and bruises, I'm still enjoying it. I can't wait to really get the hang of it. I'll post some pics when I get the chance.

Only 2 weeks and I am BC bound!! I am SO ready for a vacation :) Not to mention the mountains, the ocean and friends! Definitely counting down for this one. I'll be making another trip in July this year. Looks like I am Maid of Honor for my friends wedding in Newfoundland!! I'm pretty stoked. Never been in a bridal party before. I got friends travelling with me around the east coast then as well, so it will be a good time for sure :)

A New Year

Well Christmas and New Years has come and gone and it's back to routines again! I had a great Christmas being back at home with family and seeing some friends, nice and relaxing. Although I got a little sick with a horrible cold right away it was still nice to finally do NOTHING! To have a week off of work and get some much needed rest was great.

New years.. does that mean new years resolutions?? haha. I guess I got a few. I think I've got to get some priorities straight in my life. I get so sucked into work that by the time I get home I'm exhausted. My self-motivation is horrible. I get a little grumpy from not getting much sleep, and I drag myself through the day. I definitely need to work on changing my attitude a little! I guess there's a lot of little things I would like to change in my life - but it pretty much all comes down to attitudes and motivations. I'm going to work on that!

I'm really looking forward to the first weekend in February!! I am planning on going to Salt Spring Island, BC to visit Polly & Jason for a couple days, then I'm off to Chilliwack to visit Erin & BJ whom I haven't seen in FOREVER. I am so excited, it will be a nice little vacation :)

Thats all for now.. Happy New Years!!
