It was a couple of weeks ago now that my parents called to say that they had to put down our dog, Kimmiq. It was a hard phone call, and one I’d been dreading for a long time. Kimmiq was thirteen and a half, which is ancient for a black labrador retriever. When I left [...]

I was thinking the other day that I really missed blogging about my photos. I’m a pretty shutter-happy person, and my blog used to be the place where I wrote about and shared my latest photos and (obviously) the activities that went with them. So, here are a few shots from a recent trip to [...]

Gosh I seem to be blogging about food a lot! Otherwise, though, all I’d be writing about is how annoying essays are, and all the little details that have to get taken care of in order to, you know, graduate and all.
I took a break from essay writing yesterday to take advantage of well-priced blueberries [...]

Naturally, since I’m procrastinating an essay or two, I thought I’d share this! Me, Luke, and Jeremy now have an apartment to call home once we’re in Australia. Jeremy’s parents have bought an investment property in Redfern that we’ll be renting from them. It’s beautiful! Brand new in a nice area, close to the train [...]

Life’s been busy recently, taking care of paperwork for my upcoming relocation to Australia and finishing off university. The summer has totally snuck up on me; how are we already halfway through July?! But, progress has been made, and at least things are getting done.
At this moment in time, I’ve got my passport on its [...]
