Reunited...

.... with two of my favorite people on the planet.

Birthday things and a long overdue update

We've had an incredibly busy past couple months, which lead to my basic disappearance from this blog. Oops. I finished my student teaching and graduated, and ever since then, I have been working on getting my teaching license for Pennsylvania, finding an apartment, working on getting rid of things and getting ready to move, and our wedding! It's been pretty hectic.

My birthday was last week, and I had the best day. Aaron made me an amazing breakfast, which we ate on our patio. One of the reasons I love this apartment is because it feels like you live in a tree house in the summer, particularly on the patio. Then we went to a couple of beautiful spots around Halifax. We're trying to stop at all our favourite places before we move. We had dinner on the patio at The Bicycle Thief, which was delicious and had a fantastic view, which you can see in the photo with our cool blue water glasses. I made one of my favourite cakes, and Findlay played some cat games on my new iPad. It was hilarious.

I'm hoping to start posting a bit more regularly, but with the wedding and the move to Pittsburgh it's a bit dubious. We'll see how it goes! I can't wait for the next big adventures with Aaron.

A short trek to the store

We decided to walk over to the store to get a few more snow snacks. I have never in my life seen so much snow! I was amazed. Aaron has spent almost every winter of his life in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, so he wasn't as flabbergasted as I was. I just hope this was the last storm of the season... hopefully it can melt as soon as possible!

Snowy days

We have had so much snow this winter. I don't think I've ever in my life seen more snow. I've heard it's been record breaking amounts. Since last night, Halifax has gotten about 50 cm, on top of the 30 cm that fell on Sunday. Suffice to stay: we have spent A LOT of time indoors this winter.

Since almost everything has been closed today, Aaron got to stay home! We've made the most out of the situation: we've been living in cozy pajamas, drinking lots of home roasted coffee and espresso, played a board game, watched a few movies and Better Call Saul, enjoyed our #stormchips, we've been listening to the incredible new Modest Mouse album, Strangers to Ourselves, and we've just been spending time together and with Findlay. I took several photos of our day, including our Monopoly game, which Findlay was extremely interested in.

I hope that all of you are staying warm today!

 

Lately

I realized this morning that I have not posted anything in over a month! Life has been particularly busy this winter. I am currently on March Break from student teaching in a grade 6 class, and I have been loving every minute of it. Halifax has also been hit with a multitude of storms, which has left us covered in a very thick layer of ice and snow. Usually I love going out and taking photos in the snow, but all the ice has made is all quite difficult. I think we're all ready for Spring! I'm hoping to get caught up on some posts in the next week. How has your winter been?

Winter evenings

Snow!

We woke up to a little bit of snow this morning! It's the time of year where this is exciting, so I'm very happy about it. Findlay is very interested by the snow as well... just as the last of his leaves have fallen off the tree, he has something else to watch!

Last Bits of Autumn

The last of the colourful leaves have been falling this week, and I have been decorating for Christmas, so I guess fall is officially coming to a close. Autumn in Nova Scotia is ridiculously beautiful. I wish it lasted longer, but I'm also very excited for the upcoming holiday season! I hope your autumn was as lovely as ours was!
