an update.

Hello.*crickets*

Yes, it's been a while - sorry life got busy!
Merry christmas, and happy new year, happy valentine's day, I can't believe we are into 2014!
I have such high hopes for this year - I believe a bunch of good things will happen!

Here's a little update on where our lives have been at:

December.

We spent Christmas with both of our families and then headed down to see my Grandma who unfortunately is not well. From there we headed out to Kelowna to spent some quality time with our favourite couple Aislin & Steven, who just recently got engaged! We rang in the new year with tons of bubbles and great company, it couldn't have been better.

January.

January was an interesting month, I wasn't really myself and we both had lots on the go. At the end of the month I headed to a fantastic conference in Lake Louise. I'll leave it there for January.

February.

The month of love! We spent the beginning of this month running around, trying to get everything done before we jetted off for our tropical vacation over Valentine's Day in Maui. We actually just got home today!

I hope to update this blog a little more often, I have lots of thoughts swirling around in my head, lots of thoughts - just never the right words.

being a writer.

Being a writer is one of those things you kind of sort of don't consider yourself until you realize that you do it all the time. I've been writing for a long time, journals, quotes and now blogs. I never realized how long I'd been writing for until I found old journals stuffed away in cupboards. Writing is an outlet. Maybe for some it's a bit of a hassle but nothing feels better than putting a pen to paper and writing down your thoughts.... as arbitrary as they may be. I've never been a creative writer, and for a former dancer I actually wouldn't consider myself very creative. I write thoughts, lists, future plans, travel or otherwise and just general day-to-day musings. 

Writing is a way to deal with thoughts and feelings. Whether they are joyful, unhappy, frustrating, anxiety ridden or just plain neutral and benign. Writing deals with everything that's all cooped up. Writing doesn't judge, although your readers might. 

Again I never really considered myself a writer until I found that when bad or good and monotonous things happen in my life I really just want to write them down.
