Weekend Warriors

I only went back to work on Thursday as my sickness brought home from Florida kept me on the couch for a few extra days :(, but Friday still couldn't come quick enough!! Friday night we met up with a few friends and attended the first of many wedding events for our friends Matt and Jenn, their Jack and Jill! I went home early to avoid getting worse, but I am assuming the rest of the night went well as Scott didn't crawl into bed until well after 2!!
The next day we had planned to head to Pete's cottage and I got the urge to put some love into baking so I made some mini cupie cakes! Aren't they adorable?! Props to Scottie's mom for the wonderful baking bundle for my Birthday that allowed me to create these masterpieces!








We had a great time at the cottage playing games and eating guilt free junk food! The weather could not have been better, nor the company!

Another weekend down and back to Monday, but hey life could be worse :)

A Trip of Many Firsts

My sister, Melissa, and Scott and I headed south to see my parent's in Florida last week. 2 days in we boarded a cruise out of Miami for 5 days that took us to Key West and Cozumel, Mexico.

It was a trip of many firsts for Scott and I. Here are just a few...

First...Valentine's Day at sea! (with my parents :s)

First...Birthday when I couldn't eat my cake :(

First...Snorkelling expedition for Scotty (he giggled like a little kid about it!)

First...Time in Mexico for my peach and first time I have seen someone balance 3 margaritas on their head in any country!!

First...cruise together

First...meeting Scott had with someone who talked more than him ;) Thanks Anderson!

First...greeting card I have ever received from Scott! Only took 3 years and multiple occasions. As well as First Spanish birthday card!

We really enjoyed our time down there and we had a blast. And we would like to thank the gods for not letting this happen to us...

Here are just a few more shots of our mid-winter getaway! Miss you already Mom and Dad xoxo!!

Already counting down to summer now that I am back in the cold, brrrrrr.

My Daddy sure does love his gelato! This time in Key West :)

Scotty trying to hide his racoon eyes ;)

I was sicker than I have been in awhile but I loved spending my 24th Birthday with the whole family!

 Until next time,

My 1st Blog Post Ever....And Definetly Not My Last!!

Eeeekkkk!! I can't believe I am doing this! Here we go....

                 

A little about me first I guess: I live in a small Ontario town in a comfy little house with my boyfriend of just over three years, Scott and our baby, our cat Clay Bear. 

Our Clay Bear - He is soooo much bigger now!

Scott is the love of my life and is my inspiration to try some new things, which is why I recently started baking(after he bought my a KitchenAid stand mixer for Xmas!!), exercising and now blogging!! When I finished school and entered the working world, I am a bookkeeper at a not-for-profit currently, I was kind of in a rut as school had usually taken up my every waking moment. I didn't know what to do with myself. I have tried a few things: hot yoga, volleyball, etc; but i still felt like my life had little purpose. I tried to turn over a new leaf in September when I got a new job and I have really enjoyed trying some new things and just enjoying the new experiances as I go rather than thinking that every experiance has to have meaning....sometimes they can just be fun!! So this is a chronicle of my journey to find purpose, and the occasionaly meaningless fun....Enjoy!!  

XO Emma B

P.S. - My sister started calling me Bean when I was a kid, don't ask me why?! But it stuck and now Scott even uses it! I used to hate it, but have come to rather enjoy it and the love that usually comes with the term :)
