Where on earth have I been?

It HAS been a looooong time and everyone uses the "it's the holidays" excuse, but for me, I have some more exciting news. I bought my first home!!
So I closed on my home on the 12th of December and ever since then its been a bit of insanity. Everything from packing to painting and shopping to spackling has pretty much taken up all of my time. My dad, thankfully, was a painter back in the day (which was a Wednesday if anyone knows that from Dane Cook) so he showed me the ins and outs of painting and let me tell you, that is quite a job, especially since using painting tape was highly frowned upon. But there is certaintly something to be said about hard work paying off, because WOW what a difference! Who doesn't like makeovers?? Are you ready for some before and after pictures!?!?!


The Office is still missing a big red stripe through one of the walls... The Master Bedroom, formally known as the Barney Room.
The living room with bamboo floors!

The 2nd bedroom



Of course, I couldn't have done this all alone. I'm so grateful to have such amazing friends who've helped me. So since I've pretty much been banned from posting my friends' paint-covered pictures, I'll at least shout them out! Thanks ssssssssoooooooooooooooo much to Rob Adams (who single-handedly ripped up the 460 pounds of carpet in the rooms), my mom Marji, my dad Mike, my little bro Lucas, Karinn, Yvonne Moss, Nathalia, Trisha and Jillian!!!

Fah la la la la...la la LA LA!!!

I love Christmas parties! Fun, food and festivities. :-) And of course, running into a few friends from the industry is always great!

Do You Dare To Shop on Black Friday?


Well far be it from me to pass up a good sale, but this Black Friday I decided to get into the Christmas Spirit by going to a Black Friday with no other agenda except to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere. It was great, I ran into a few friends, soaked in the sights and actually managed to NOT buy anything (of course that trend didn't last through the next day). :-)

Here are some fun shots I took on my Black Friday!


First things first: Canon is Better than Nikon :-p



Tom and Kerianne - cutest couple in the entire mall!




Really now, who can ever resist playing with the puppies?? Just don't tell my puppy Tico I was cheating on him!!



The Carousel - one of my favorite places to go as a child.

Something old, something new, nothing borrowed and a touch of blue!

Can you guess what all of those things are referring too??
