Time to Think

i've been stressing out about the fact that I've neglected this blog so much.. and then I thought to myself why? This is a place for my to share my daily life and post pictures I enjoy. Its for fun, it shouldnt be stressful haha! So I am very sorry that I havent been reading and commenting on all your lovely blogs as much but I think I have just needed a little bit of an internet break. I've been focusing on other things like family and friends and sitting in bed watching heros haha.

But I promise I will be back soon and hopefully a little more consistant! you can follow me on twitter if  you like! I post pictures and updates throughout the week there most of the time :)

Terrible Blogger

So I apologize for being the worst blogger ever these past few weeks! I have just been so preoccupied with my life rocking lately haha! But really life has just been amazing this past week. I cant even explain why its just been a endless combination of wonderful amazing friends and being so incredibly in love with my boyfriend<3.

Every day of the weekend was filled with greatness! Friday I went out with two of my best friends Melissa and Ruth that I don't get to spend enough time with. I hadn't seen them in months so it was really great. We had drinks at Melissa's boyfriend Scotts house with some of his friends before we headed out to the bar. Melissa went home kinda early but me and Ruth danced till about 2am its definitely been a while since I've been out so I was pretty tired the next day but lots of fun!

Saturday morning me and Matt went into town around lunch (when I woke up haha) and had lunch with my Dad, Colton my brother and his girlfriend Brittany. We were probably the loudest table in the place laughed and joking and yeah my boyfriend and brother are just always incredibly loud. My brother accidentally spilled an entire glass of orange juice on me.... I was not pleased and soaked but I was laughing about it too after a few minutes because well... it was pretty funny haha. We went back to my Dads house after where Colton and Brit live too. I hung out with Brittany while the boys played video games for a few hours. At about 1 Matt dropped me off at Cam and Shannon's to hang out with them and the boys for the rest of the day . The most amazing thing happened Aiden said my name!! So both of the twins only say mama/mum, dad/daddy, kitty and doggy so it was pretty exciting for me. He said twice first it sounded like amara then tarara haha then later he came up to me and I said "say auntie Tamara!" and he said it! it was still more r's then should probably be in there but you could tell what he was saying haha! It was one of the greatest moments ever!
The rest of the night after the boys went to bed we had a few beers watched Saturday night live and played crib and laughed lots as usual.

Sunday my brother came over and spend the whole day with me and Matt. I woke up that day to a flooded bathroom :( but Matt had it under control and cleaned up pretty quickly and its all fixed now! We went to the mall for a little bit. I got some adorable new boots and a few other things. Then we went to a skate shop for my brother to get new shoes. Matt got me a beautiful new wallet for an early vday present too! And I got him a shirt.
My brother stayed for spaghetti Sunday and Matt's friends and old roommates Mike and Mandy showed up and hung out with us for a little while too! We all watched river monsters (my new favorite show!!) and ate pasta it was a good night :)

Yesterday Vday Matt had the whole day off work! It was awesome :D We went on a little date during the day to chapters. Chapters is one of my favorite places coffee and books you just cant go wrong. We got coffee and shared a delicious cookie and then browsed books for a while. I got two new books one of which that I'm really excited to start reading. After that we went back to the mall for a bit. I got some really cute stuff on sale which I'm always excited about! We went to walmart too and got a few things for the house some new towels, a bath mat and a few other things.
We stopped at the grocery store on the way home and picked up a few things for dinner and a bottle of wine.
We got home around 3 so we had a few hours before we made dinner so I told Matt to play some video games, put on some Bob Marley and I went on a crazy organizing spree haha. I don't think we ended up starting dinner until close to 7 because I went so crazy. Do you ever just get that insane urge to need to organize everything you've been putting off. Its such a great feeling when its all done though. My house all of the sudden feels so much less cluttered and I didn't even get rid of much just found better places for everything!
After I was done Matt made a fire and set up the table with candles <3 I whipped us up a super yummy huge dinner (I'd so rather stay in on valentines day.. its crazy how busy it is in restaurants...
We had tempura cod with a white sauce with crab, asparagus, zucchini and mushrooms and roasted potatoes it was super tasty mmm. Then we cuddled up on the couch drank wine and watched tv on netflix. It was a perfect valentines day.
Actually it was really a perfect weekend <3

Well I'm going to go light myself a fire because its freezing! And then curl up on the couch with Koda and do some reading. Hope to be back sooner than later. Hope you all are well!

Window Sills

This little window sill is probably my favorite part of my whole house. Something about the way the sun comes in there and the arbutus trees outside the window. i find myself always having pictures of this window on my camera haha! I try to keep it clear as possible but somehow more and more of my favorite little things end up there. But it just makes me love it ever more.

 

 

I really hope these sunny day stick around. I've had enough cold and rain. I just keep buying more and more plants to distract from the fact that its still freezing in my house in the mornings when the fires not going. And to distract from the fact that every time i check the weather on my phone its calling for snow on thursday... !

Lovely Day

I've been having a great day!
I have to say starting my morning off with yoga just always leads to feeling great for the rest of the day! Sun beaming in through the windows, Ben Harper playing its perfect. It makes the rest of the things I have to do like cleaning the house and doing laundry much much easier and more enjoyable. I really want to start going to hot yoga but most days lately I haven't had a car because Matt has been working lots and we're sharing my care right now. But hopefully he will be getting a new truck within the next few weeks and I will have my car back! yay for not being trapped at home all day :D.

Yesterday I got an Iphone 4! I am in love already. I am not sure how I lived without it thus far actually! So I spent a lot of the day today playing around with it and getting apps. And I ordered this cover off eBay heh! love it! I ordered a plain white soft cover too so I can change it up.
And I got the instagram app which I am totally loving and really addicted to!
Heres a few pics I took today. Matthew playing some guitar and yummy noodles.

I've also been playing a lot of fruit ninja! best game ever! If you have an iphone and dont have this game you really should cuz its wonderful :D

Agenda for the weekend includes hanging out with Shannon tonight. My brother girlfriends birthday party on Saturday where I'm not sure if I'll make it for too long haha. I cant keep up with those newly 20 year olds they're crazy haha! And probably just relaxing with Matt on Sunday as usual maybe going to do some shopping. Next week I'm getting my car serviced and having lunch with my friend ruth who I haven't seen in forever! Super excited about that. I'm really excited about getting my car serviced too actually haha! They always clean it up real nice and make it run like new again. Yeah its only a year old not even but I so notice the differnce after it gets serviced it gets its zoom zoom back! (yeah its a Mazda haha)

Hope everyone has an absolutely wonderful weekend!
