these are some pictures i took on my way to work quite a few days ago. it was such a nice day that morning and the sun made everything come alive, then everything got cold and plants and flowers started dying :( i do love fall for the crisp sunny days and the lovely colours, i just miss the bright warm feelings of summer more.

wilderness {with pictures}

Our camping weekend went off without a hitch, although it went by so fast. Lot's of yummy food and fresh air. My mum and sister made the trek in their little boler and it looked adorable.
Here are just a couple of pictures:

my lunch time adventure

I went aaallll the way down to the old port (lol) today to see Mr. Fotheringham and had lunch with him, it was fun. I took some photos of my mid-day adventure!

:) update :)

so, I actually picked up the shoes I was lusting for on friday after work when I found them in a store in NDG....sweet. 

cuteness

Just adding a little bit of adorable to your day. xo

tomboy

My mum, such a cute kid!

weekend fun

We had a really lazy weekend but managed to get out of the house a little, enough to have a few drinks and gamble. ;)

Fri. was our firend's birthday and so we headed out to hang with the crew.

Then, Saturday we had the idea we would go to the Casino de Montreal! I went with $15 and lost it on the quarter slot machines but it was good fun. Joe went in with $20 and almost came out with winning something like $15 but we went and lost it again, fun! As you can assume, we are a very big deal in that casino, we have a special VIP area for us near the five cent machines, lol.

Then at 2am we were starving so we had super yummy pizza. (Sorry about the mushrooms, Joe.)

So these pics are taken with my new camera and as you can see, I'm still trying to figure out some of the settings, or maybe I need to not drink when I'm trying to capture moments, ha ha.

nicolle

This is my crazy little sister. I love her to bits and she is the sweetest, funniest eight year old kid I know. She adores Joe and breaks my heart every time I call and she says how much she misses me and asks when we'll get to see each other next. The thing that I love the most about her is that she is so affectionate and is always giving kisses and telling me she loves me, our little pookie is the best. xo
(In these pics she was doing this thing where everytime we would try to take her picture, she would close her eyes....you're for sure an original and love the headband kiddo.)

and here are some from when she was around 4 or 5 yrs old, such a ham...

big sis, little sis

me and melissa, oh so young....

weddings

So we've been going to quite a few weddings lately, I guess we're at that age when "everyone's doing it". Here are photos from a couple we've attended recently...

This is the wedding of Joe's best friend Matt and Karina. It was in Florida which was an added bonus. Joe was a groomsman, isn't he handsome?

This is my good friend Nina's wedding, so much fun!
Joe looked really good in his new Paul Smith suit and Gucci shoes, yum-o!

thanksgiving

These are old, I know, but everytime I look at these pictures I feel really accomplished and safe knowing I can cook holiday feasts should Joe and I ever have to do this on our own. (Well, I'm not sure who would do all the icky things with the turkey...) :)

Joe's parents were down and his mum helped me with the turkey, I've never had to cook something so big.

It was so delicious and I can't wait to do it again!

Earlier in the day we had gone apple picking, though we ate more whilst doing so than we actually took home, lol.

Babička

This is my wonderfully glamourus Babi (Grandma to all you non Czech people,lol); to this day she is every bit the glamorous woman I see in old photos like this one.

Highlands

I was going through my photos and found these beautiful moments.
I was in scotland with Joe (he lived in Scotland as a little boy) and we took a walk through the Highlands to his ancient family of the Fotheringhams' castle.(Actually they have two and this was the smaller one.)
I just thought these were such mysterious and lovely pictures.

(this is the smaller "look out" castle)

these are the people responsible for me being me...

mum and dad. xo.

laughter

Here is the boy of my dreams, Joe. He makes me laugh and I can't even tell you why.

first post

I have become enamored by some really fantastic blogs I have come across and want to partake in the fun...
(this picture is of my littlest sister, Nicolle and my other sister, Melissa is in the back)
