Self Shot

I have been going through a lot of my pictures lately and couldn't help but notice all the "self-shots" I have taken in the past year. While it does seem a little narcissistic to put these up, I feel like I have so many pictures that will never see the light of day again... plus it's my blog ;)  

Meeting Callie for brunch at Local... trying out one of Troy's toques I think.  

New outfit- on my way to work. 

Debating this top for Ironman... bought it. Returned it. 

My outfit to Char's stagette... texted this picture to Troy for confirmation that I was killing it. 

Mid-Week Run/Tweet Picture. 

Love this picture of Char doing my hair xox 

A Piece of Paradise

I have sooooo many pictures from Callie and Mike's Mexican wedding and so the only way I can share is by posting a few sporadically.

 The wedding took place in the Mayan Riviera at the Grand Bahia Principe resort in November... with 80+ guests the whole week was extremely major. 

Here are a few randoms that capture various elements of our time in Mexico. 

I think Troy may have been the only one to get a picture of Cal and Mike cutting the cake... 

Night out in Tulum- best night of the trip *besides wedding.  

Mike's brother Jonathan was the wedding officiate 

This picture looks posed. It's not. xo  

Burying Monti at Paradise Beach 

Coco Bongos! What a place! 

Pool Party!!!! It was actually very cold on this day... thank goodness we had chawels to warm us up.

Whistler was the perfect way to spend the first day of 2013... 

Happy New Year

2012 was a great year... my sister got married, some of my most amazing friends had some beautiful babies (Sophie, Mia, Rosie and Ashley), I completed my first Ironman, started a new job at CIBC, attended Callie and Mike's all inclusive Mexico wedding, and tried to run the NY Marathon. 

This past year has truly been focused on "what's next"... The next training day, the next race, the next long ride, the next job, the next trimester... 

2013 is the year of 'now'... Seizing the minute, the day, the weekend, the month. 

It's all about efficiency and making the most of my time while I have the time. 

But the idea of 'now' is to also know when to take the time out. Be still. Be alone. 

'Now' does not mean frantically searching for anything... it means being present and content where I am. 

Right. 

Now.

Christmas

Christmas always makes me feel so safe, cozy and warm...  Not only because at home I crank the heat up in our little apartment, or see the lights of the city on my walk home from work and just feel such happiness, but mostly because of the way I feel on my drive out to Langley... 

 Maybe it's because over the holidays I am at home in the house I grew up in.. I have my sisters and brother sleeping in the rooms beside me...  and I have my Mom and Late cooking breakfast and drinking coffee in the kitchen. 

It's nice to just be with my family at Christmas. 

This year was another amazing one. 

I am so thankful.
