SUNNYSIDE

this past week i was given the opportunity to

to volunteer as a primary teacher at sunnyside camp in alberta.

the long 18 hour drive to get to this 

magical camp was well worth it.

i encountered my first sighting of hay bales in alberta.

i didn't know that massive roles of hay that are probably double my hight could exist.

it looks so awesome when 100+ hay bales are scattered randomly across a large field of green.

the best part of the trip was being able to meet a ton of talented and beautifully crafted people.

there were musicians of all ages who could play their instruments like beasts.

there were dancers who could flip and pop to each beat in a song.

there were artists who used their imagination and soul to move their pen.

i saw so much love and support in this one week, it was no surprised that some people have been attending this camp for 30+ years.

i hope i'll be back for year 2 next summer!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

MISSING THIS

looking through these pictures makes me miss my friends so much more. now that university life has started, it is has gotten a lot harder to stay in touch with close friends, even one's that are still in the same city, or the same school for that matter. one of my besties has gone out to uni in ontario and i miss her like crazy, and i'm literally counting down the days to be able to see her again. i guess you really don't appreciate what you have until it leaves you, even if it's only for a short while.

HOLLA GABRIOLA

summer fun with the gurls on gabriola island. we lucked out on beautiful weather, ate a ton of comfort food, sun bathed with spf  30 (gotta watch the skin), and spent good quality times together jammin out to one direction and jbeibz. one of the best moments was sitting on a log above the tides, watching one of the best sunsets i've ever seen. so thankful for great friends.
