<br />
Lately I have been really trying to think of my life as a pie, does this seem weird? I just find that some pieces are getting really big, while unfortunately the others are getting smaller. With 24 hours in a day how is it possible to try and touch on all of these areas? I am very happy that I am in school, working, and still working and keeping very busy with my new life in Calgary, but sometimes I feel like I am forgetting other areas of myself and as a consequence, I feel exhausted.<br />
<br />
So one portion of this pie seems to stare me right in the face, HOBBIES! So it is a common question that many people get asked... what are your hobbies? This seems to always stump me? I mean... I have a lot of hobbies.... I like to shop, obsess over personal finance goals and opportunities (I guess that is the accountant in the works talking), go for walks, spend hours looking at pointless things on the internet, read occasionally, go to yoga when I have time... but lets be honest...doesn't this list not seem a little lame to tell someone? Why can't I be an avid crocheter... or runner.. or something lol?<br />
<br />
I guess my hope is that I can pay a little more attention to my personal pie and make sure that in 2013 some don't get larger and others get smaller. While there are only 24 hours in a day, I need to use every hour to the best of my abilities. I hope to use my time more effectively; make that time with loved ones more meaningful... (no I do not need to check instagram every 6 minutes lol), give myself that personal growth time.. and really just make every moment count. <br />

The best thing about living in Calgary is going home to see my family in Edmonton. There is something fun about having that little distance so when you do go home, everyone is <i>so excited</i> to see you! This past weekend Darren and I were laying in bed wondering what we needed to get done before heading out to Fairmont with some friends, when we decided to delay the trip a day and go surprise me sister for her 30th birthday! I definitely have no regrets! We had so much fun seeing everyone, enjoyed the yummy catered food and seeing my sister so happy to see us. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Saturday Holly and I had lots of fun exploring 17th. It was such a beautiful day and all I wore was a light jacket, which was a nice change from the Arctic freeze-over we were having the previous week. It was the first time I have really checked it out the place and I found the most amazing stationary/party store, <a href="http://reidstationers.com/">Reid's</a>. They had everything under the sun, to the cutest personalized stationary, office supplies, endless gift ideas, and to pens worth more then my wedding ring... needless to say I was a kid in a candy store; as you can tell from the bag... clearly I had to leave with something! I also loved <a href="http://rubaiyatcalgary.com/collections/all/">Rubaiyat</a>... they had the cutest jewelery (a little out of my price range unfortunately) and lots of fun and unique home furnishings, which I have been seriously obsessed with lately, I am just so excited to decorate our new place! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lunch was amazing too! Una has my favorite honey and cheese pizza, I know I know... it does sound a little peculiar, but let me tell you all (the all 5 of you who read my blog)... it is life changing! We also loved our date prosciutto wraps.. and our <b>free </b>desert! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had so much fun with Holly and I cant wait to go back! </div>

Well another week has ended and I must say this week was filled with lots of good. For one, I had my first day of classes, finally! It has been so hard not being in school; there is something so powerful about learning new things, pushing yourself, burying yourself into textbooks for hours, the feeling that with all the new school supplies you got your mark will be that much better (do I really need a mini stapler?), and of course the inevitable stress that comes with it all.... I missed it! But I guess part of this whole growing this is that you have to actually put yourself out of your comfort zone, which leads me to my next point... I am in a public speaking class? Not sure how far this chipmunk voice will take me but I sure am excited to see how it goes! One of my assignments is preparing and presenting a toast for a potential bride... sounds much better than writing papers, and a nice break from accounting and finance! It sure was nice having my husband come with me to make sure I had someone to carry my books and encourage me to take the classes that I did, he really is my best supporter and makes me laugh whenever I get too stressed. This weeks best laugh was when he came out of the bathroom so confidently with a Mucho Burrito tattoo right on is right cheek.... nope not his face. Oh goodness.<br />

I find this so hilarious and so true. I am so lucky that I have a husband that will hold the umbrella over me even when I know I can be a tad difficult... but just a tad right ;)?<br />

I had an amazing time with all my family in Cabo this year, but I promise there are no more trips coming any time soon. We sure were lucky to get to go do so much island hoping last month... if I didn't have any photos I wouldn't even be sure that December wasn't just a dream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Favorite moments in a nutshell:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Seeing so much family that I have not seen in so long. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Waking up in our room... the walking to check out the beautiful day before us on the deck... nothing to do all day but whatever you wanted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Finding $1.00 burritos at the local store which was for the local workers... but we quickly all caught on and ran there every morning to ensure we could get some before 10:00 am.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Watching my grandparents get their portrait done at our last mexican feast in town... keeping the love alive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) Walks on the beach, especially with Darren on New Years as the parties and music surrounded us and the ocean was so warm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6) Going to lovers beach and watching Darren skim board, cliff dive, swim in no swimming zones and whatever life or death excursion he could discover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7) The laughs that came after Lauren popped out of the water <b>after</b> we all thought she was missing. I think me and Kaitlyn said about 3 prayers.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8) Hot tubs on the roof overlooking cabo every night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9) Mexican Walmart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10) Bargaining for bracelets on the beach... I think they can all retire now after my family discovered that they resembled the Michael Kors ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
11) Tres Leche.... who knew this existed.. so good!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12) After wanting to get a couples massage so bad... I finally got the chance at the Mexico airport lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
13) Paddle boarding... and watching my mom try it determined not to get a drop of water on her.. and she succeeded!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
14) Being able to bring all the memories that were created there back with me... sure made me realize how lucky I have been in 2012. </div>

I decided before we left on our trip that I needed to get a book as the extraneous amounts of magazines that were piling up were making my carry on anything but lighter. Not only are magazines expensive, but they also don't facilitate much thought and they do tend to loose my attention after about an hour. After opening up this book on a long flight I remembered the simple joy that comes from escaping your own thoughts every once and a while and diving into someone elses. I finished this book by the time we landed in Florida and loved every page. I can't wait to continue onto my next book which I am half way through, <i>The Night Circus</i>. </div>

and this is why I love my husband and love being married. After being sad about him leaving for a couple days to head out to Florida to go wake boarding with his papa, I came home from work to find all my favorite friends on our bed.<br />

We just got back today from an amazing trip to Florida in which we also hopped on a cruise for 5 days through the Bahamas! It was so much fun and the highlight for me was definitely being able to visit Atlantis! For all of you who are Mary Kate and Ashley fans and who have seen <i>Island in the Sun </i>you know just how exciting this was. <br />
<br />
<u>Favorite moments in a nutshell:</u><br />
<br />
1) Eating copious amounts of food and unlimited twist cones on the cruise<br />
2) Our waiter from India named Uma.<br />
3) Seeing Darren at at the airport as he left a couple days earlier then me. Couldn't stop smiling.<br />
4) Bahama Breeze. So delicious. <br />
5) Getting to jet ski at Darren's family condo<br />
6) Double tubing with Darren as we went through a tunnel filled with hammerhead sharks.<br />
7) Shorkeling in Cococay and finding a lonesome little stingray<br />
8) Late night swimming with Holly<br />
9) Walking around Atlantis with Darren through the beaches and amazing aquariums<br />
10) All the fun people watching that Florida and airports have to offer.<br />
11) Celebrating being married for 3 months!!!!!!<br />
12) The Love and Marriage night show on the cruise... Darren and I cried laughing as 75 year old couples answered the most hilarious questions. <br />
13) Coming back to Calgary and stopping for Mcdonalds and spending the rest of the day napping.<br />
<br />
Cant even believe next week we are off to Mexico... lol we are seriously way too spoiled.</div>

I have always really liked Monday's. Monday's are a day to have a fresh start to a fresh week, with a whole weekend behind you for a promising start. I guess it is kind of like a weekly New Years.. you always are a little extra motivated to be a little bit better then the week before. This being said...I have also always loved the first day of school too and Darren thinks I am straight up crazy, so maybe liking Monday's goes along with my weird thinking? Not sure if I am alone on this one? Lately however, something has changed... maybe my husband is starting to rub off on me......BUT I HATE MONDAYS. All it is, is a day start another repetitive week of work. So to combat this very negative thinking... have decided I need to change my attitude... and what better what to think of 5 things that I am grateful for small or big.... EVERY MONDAY!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) Lets start off super conceited... I love my new anthropology coat purchased fully on a gift card from work... so technically a free new coat.. love it even more! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today is the first day that Darren and I have been apart since September 14th. And of course this is the day that my battery goes dead at work. Yup..... I guess you can't really tell that your lights are on when the sun is up? Luckily I have great people I work with to help me out, while I proved I know nothing about cars, however; I did learn that if something did happen and I was alone, I can't even pop my own trunk on a vehicle I have owned for almost 5 years. Also maybe also shouldn't of asked the gentlemen who were helping me if i should drive to them or they should drive to me to boost the car? Wow. One of those days. Its times like these I really should just sit back and observe. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I must say though as much as I miss Darren it is kind of nice having the place alone. Darren distracts me too much or more like I just get distracted myself by him. Now I can officially clean more then one room faster then I usually can in a week when he is with me. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So I didn't think I would say it but, <i>wahoooooo me time!!!!!!</i> </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Today was such a great day. I finally got to sleep in till whenever I wanted. The Monday-Friday 6 am wake up calls are really starting to kill me. Not only did I get to sleep in, but I was so so excited to wake up and check our sleep talk iphone application. This may be the best discovery ever. It records all night but only movement or when you talk, and in the morning listening to the clips are too fun. Then we got to go to the Kingsland Farmer's Market. I was so excited. </div>

Today was so much better then yesterday. After falling asleep <b>two</b> nights in
a row at 6:00pm I finally felt alive at work today. My favorite part of
today was when Darren picked me up at work and took me to Five Guys. I was hesitate about such a high calorie stop as I was really full from eating
all sorts of snacks at work, but decided I would go check it out and maybe share something with Darren. Darren was starving of course and didn't like this idea, so he instead suggested I get my own small burger and he would have some of it after he finished eating
his. Well long story short... they messed up and gave me the larger burger as
well... and surprise surprise... I ate the whole thing.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We are so excited that the Calgary, Alberta temple is now complete. I had so much fun touring it with all our family and friends and even having friends lead the tours, before it gets officially dedicated. Over <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">100,000 people were able to come and see inside what I think is really a peice of heaven on earth, even though it was a tad squishy in there. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One of my favourite rooms inside the temple was the Celestial Room. It is such a beautiful room which instantly evokes such peaceful feelings when your inside . One of my favourite parts of this room is the massive Swarovski crystal chandelier and a soaring panelled ceiling that "is meant to envision heaven."</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"> </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My other favourite room was the sealing room which symbolizes the families eternal nature. There are large mirrors that when you look through appears like the image in the mirror goes on forever. It was so nice to be in there with my family and remember my wedding day again. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My family came into town this weekend for the temple open house in Calgary, Alberta. It was so nice to have all of my family here and the temple was so beautiful, I will post photos soon. On Saturday we stopped at our favourite breakfast place <a href="http://eatoeb.com/">Over Easy.</a> I highly recommend you check it out and make sure someone from your party gets there early to save a seat as it is really busy. My favourite is the Original Soul in a Bowl (bottom right) which consists of two poached eggs, herb potatoes, real Quebec cheese curds, slow cooked bacon lardons & brown butter hollandaise.</span></div>

October 8th was Darren's birthday! I was so stressed with how I could make sure he had the best birthday ever, as he always tells me he doesn't really like his birthday... how can you not like your birthday? Anyways I tried to make sure he had a whole birthday week so he could retract his statement.<br />
<br />
We got a tent for one of our wedding gifts, and I couldn't wait to use it. The Winters were never big campers, so I felt <i>so cool</i> to finally have a tent of our very own! I asked Darren what his favorite movie, set it all up with our favorite treats and <i>voila! </i><br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Turns out my life filled with very few moments of camping lead to creative improvising to get that tent to stay up.... but it was a success! Nothing like Mulan and an indoor tent... yes he chose Mulan....</div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our honeymoon was so much fun. We flew to Florida then got on a 7 day cruise that took us to four islands: Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Mexico and finishing our vacation with 2 days back in Florida. The cruise was amazing and so was the food. After a long day exploring our stops we loved our dinners. I loved seeing and reading about the chef of the night on the ship and sharing 3 appetizers, entrees, and deserts with Darren figuring out out favorites. We loved our dining waiters Selma from St. Thomas and Bien from the Phillipines and coming back to our rooms to see the new designs that Jeremy would create with our towels and place on our bed. I will summarize my favorite moments: </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1) Going though the Jungle as Darren controlled our bobsled... scary!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2) Driving down the roads of Cozumel on our little moped finding Paradise Beach and eating copious amounts of guacamole.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3) Looking at the menu everynight to see what was for dinner. My favorite was lobster night!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4)Watching Darren in the Flow-Rider competition (he would wake up every morning at 8:00 am to go surf with advance only (lol so intense)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">5) Mini Golf in Florida. There is nothing in the world better then mini golf in Florida. Every hole is a dream. And to finish the night off you could feed baby alligators.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The first week of marriage was wonderful, can't wait for many more! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just some fun before our Calgary Reception</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I must say it was so nice to come home from our cruise and have everyone excited again for another wedding, as well as have my parents here. I also didn't think I would say it, but I loved putting my dress back on. It reminded me of just how special our wedding day was. But I was right, it did not fit and I did enjoy just a little too much food on the cruise. We were all laughing as Darren and my parents had me pinned to our bed, as everyone used all their might to hook me back in.... luckily somehow they hooked! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had such a wonderful day on September 14th. The day was everything I thought it would be and more. Can't wait till all of the pictures come back to do a full post. We just got back from our honeymoon late last night and now... time to get back in that wedding dress for wedding #2 tonight. After everything I ate on the cruise and even yesterday alone at the airport... (Auntie Anne's gets the best of me every time....) I will be shocked to see if that dress zips up.</span></div>
