Get ready for take off

Oh my gosh!!!  110 days turned to 1 day and then 1 minute until boarding way too fast! I must have unpacked and repacked my knapsack at least 7 times...once for every day is was home.  I thought it was helping by taking at least one article of clothing out everyday until we left, but when it came time to weigh my bag at check in, mine of course was the heaviest. I'm traveling with 5 massive men... How is it that the smallest person on this trip is carrying the most baggage.  Looks like I'll be banned from shopping for a while.  

So we get to our gate say our goodbyes and then it all begins to set in... My feet will not touch Canadian soil for a whole year. How did this happen? After a stressful day running around attempting to inform OHIP that I'll be out of the country for at least a year (word of advice do this well I'm advance, and if your from Toronto go to service Ontario across from Islington station, or 777 Bay Street... Apparently they're the only people on earth who are able to accommodate this request) I came home to the strongest cocktail my dad could make, one last dinner with my family and then that was it. I was moved out and on an airplane with my entire life packed into 55L .... And a carry on. 

I can't wait to see where this trip takes me. All the amazing people I will meet, beautiful views and mouthwatering foods just sounds like a little slice of heaven. 

Keep an eye out for more posts to come. 

For now here's a quick snap of my view during take off and all the little lights that have made up our lives over the past 22 years. 

Work Conference Weekend

One of my good friends from school and work had to go to Toronto for a weekend, where we were to attend a work conference and were placed in the intercontinental hotel for the weekend! We had a wonderful time and learned a lot! We also dined our little hearts out of course! 

 Earls most delicious part of their menu. Spinach dip... mmm my mouth is salivating just looking at it. Of course we also had to have a mojito while out to dinner.. my favourite!

 My favourite part of hotel rooms have always and will always be the robes! I always throw them on as soon as I get in and refuse to take them off ahha 

 Every year I fall in love with the Eaton centres over whelmingly huge christmas displays! They are gorgeous 

 OOTN! Leather leggings from Zara and beautiful red pumps from Aldo & Alysons gorgeous Marc by Marc purse. 

Toughest Mudders!

Over the summer a couple friends and I completed the most challenging, fun, long, killer workout and obstacle course I have ever seen in my life. I couldn't walk for 2 days after and I am still unbelievably proud of ever member of TALK DIRTY TO ME! We rocked those hills and every obstacle that came with them and made it through it all as a team in under 4 hours. Keep in mind this was 17K and there was hundreds of people running it at the same time! Can't wait for next year! Let the training begin!
p.s. I apologize for proof being written across some of them but it was like $100 to get 5 pictures.. and there was no way I was paying that shah

The most epic picture of life... This beer was the most well deserved alcohol I've ever had in my life

After the 17k we all crowded into a human washing machine where bubbles were sprayed at us and we walked through ice cold water coming from all directions. This is me after freezing my ass off.. still covered in mud because I couldn't take the cold water any longer!
