wednesday afternoon

 Finally wearing the ring my Aunt bought me for my 20th! All my cousins and my sister got the same ring with our initial on them! Cute idea 

crooked smile!

can't wait for winter wonderland at the cottage!

 It took so long to make this ice rink.. the snow on top was so hard! Then when my friends and I came up for reading week we pretty much had to remake it because so much new snow had fallen and hardened! 

Just hanging out in the middle of the lake. I was terrified to step out this far I kept feeling like it would snap at any minute and I'd sink right through.

We were so far out you can barely even see our cottage. It was so amazing to be standing in the middle of a frozen lake rather than sitting in floating in a boat! 

and the hockey games begin... on our failure of an ice rink! At least we tried :)

 My used and abused skates. I've had these things for years and probably use them once a year! I definitely need to make more of an effort to go skating this year.

 Family breakfasts, lunches and dinner everyday! It was so much fun having so many of us all sit down for lovely meals everyday! Thanks for such a great week guys! 

We have to do this again ASAP! love you guys! Many crazy things happened in the 4 day bender we had at bella vista point! Can't wait to see what happens next time we all come up!

Story of my life

I did not make this or take this myself but I found it online this morning and had to present it to the world. This has to be the best ecard ever made, it is literally the definition of my life. I can't tell you how many friends I've had that stopped talking to me while they date girls, then the second that they become single my phone rings with messages from them. So to this I say amen ecards!

hungover saturdays

Today has absolutely been the laziest day I have had in a while. After a night full of drinking and celebrating two of my good friends birthdays, a restful day was much needed.
The night was never ending, we celebrated at the local bar where everyone overindulged in personal pitchers, which are way too cheap for life. After walking home from the bar, a few friends came by to continue the festivities with more drinking and lots of food, a few hours later and just about settled in bed, my friend decides to puke all over my bed. Hilarious, but disgusting end to a great evening. As a result I was forced to sleep on my couch which made my morning even lazier than necessary. I woke up to Sweet Home Alabama on TV, which is an absolutely amazing movie, and continued the morning laziness with a small trek to the mall to devour a delicious icee with my roommate!
Normally this wouldn't be a huge problem, however, I have an exam both tomorrow and Monday, meaning I am royally screwed for both of them :(
Wish me luck!

My mom is such a sweetheart and bought me flowers!

Curried Chickpeas

Start with chopped garlic and onion, cooking until onion is translucent. 

While you wait for onions to cook, dice up your tomato

Add your carrots and curry powder

Add tomatoes to the mix and deglaze the pan with a little bit of white wine. 

Add chicken stock and cover. Let the mix sit on low-medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until stock has reduced.

The final product, paired with naan bread! Delish
