There just aren't enough lunch hours in the day!

Kirsten Anderson. Today she celebrates her birthday and in honour of a very special day I have chosen to dedicate this entry to her. I can't say enough good things about this beautiful girl. And it certainly is a tragedy to all of you who do not know her. You are most certainly missing out. She is the kind of girl that if you go more than 48 hours with out seeing, you will miss her. The kind of girl that is blunt and to the point, 2-3 word answers are her specialty. The only girl I know who wants to inquire what the ingredients to "natural aloe Vera" baby wipes are. Packs pickles, snap peas, strawberries, blackberries, bug spray and sunscreen on a golfing trip. If you are ever hungry and need someone to share food with, she's your gal! She is really good at the Metro crossword puzzles. She really is a woman of many talents. And I am so proud to call her one of my best friends. So in honour of her, I have put this little number together:

Kirsten:

I pray your brakes don't go out runnin down a hill
I pray a flower pot never falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like some might like to
I pray your birthday comes and everyone 0calls
I pray if you're flyin high your engine doesn't stall
I pray all your dreams come true
I pray your tire never blows at 110 km
I pray you never pass out drunk with your best friend and wake up with his and her tattoos
Just know wherever you are, near or far, in your house or in your car,
Wherever you are, I pray for you!

In all honesty, I am so thankful to have Kirsten in my life. She has been an incredible friend, at times I'm sure I didn't deserve it, but she has never left me. She is smart, kind, beautiful, funny, hardworking, and one of the better people you will meet in this world. And I would do anything in my power to make sure this year is better than the last and that she gets everything and anything she ever wants out of life. Thank you for being so great.

Oh and did I mention that her 2 bestest friends surprised her with Lady Gaga tickets?! My Poker Face is ready, if I meet Alejandro I will tell him to Just Dance and when my Bad Romance falls apart I will be sure to get on my Telephone with a Paparazzi!

Things I Learned About Myself by Moving 5,000 KM + An Ocean Away from Home

Call me crazy - but 1 month after getting married I told Matt I was ready for an adventure.  As if getting married wasn't a crazy enough adventure!  I learned very quickly after being with Matt that I needed to stop  asking for things because he always had a way of making them happen!  March 2015 a job posting appeared on the island of Kauai.  At first it seemed like a pipe dream...I mean who wouldn't just apply for a job in Hawaii?!  So that is what we did, applied for a job...had 3 long distance interviews...told our families + friends there was "potentially" an opportunity...they flew us out there for a final interview...we had a job offer...and sh!t got real!  After a lot of back and forth we decided to book 2 one way tickets to Kauai.  And here we are, 1 year later; and it's been the biggest adventure of my life so far.  Like most curve balls in life there is always a lesson waiting for you to be learned...so here is what I can honestly say has been my learne

Good things come to those who love....

I believe, or at least I hope that I believe that everyone will fall in love at least once. Others may experience it more, some less. I have no idea where I land on this continuum . I imagine somewhere between never wanting to date again, and wanting it all. Bit of a wide range, but you can never be too hasty! However, there have been a few experiences in which I never wish to relive, in fact even better, I have started to compose a list of things I would rather do than have to be left standing alone at the gas station of love using the self-service pump, aka go through that again! Get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face Contemplate if everything I though was right is wrong (black is white, up is down, short is long...) Slam my fingers in a door (again and again and again! But only 3 times, any more than that is risking permanent damage) Shove an ice pick under my fingernails Wear black leather in the hottest weather Hit a tree, these fender benders aren't really killing me Ju

The things I am thankful for

Image
With Thanksgiving coming and going this year I was blessed with the opportunity to sit in a room of 20+ people and share and listen to all the things in which the people whom I care the most about are thankful for in their lives. While this list can be entertaining with 9 wonderful nieces and nephews who spout off answers like "chocolate cake", "Auntie Rachel", "Dad" and "Lego", it is also filled with heartfelt answers of family, health, love and appreciation and of course with 4 girls in one family a few tears. I spent this week thinking about the simple things in life I was thankful for.... A brother who who always takes the time to listen Big sisters being patient with little sisters Cab drivers who know when to talk and when to be quiet PVR - so I never have to worry about missing all those girly shows Good friends who always make the bad days seem not so hard and the good days feel like heaven A mom who worries about you night and day but wo
