Bruchetta

There is really nothing else in the world like fresh tomatoes. I love simple food prepared with the best ingredients.

The farm

My aunt's farm in Vermont is one of my favourite places in the world. I adore every inch of it, from the beautifully restored barn, to their cozy house, to the multitudes of flowers, fruits, and vegetables that my aunt lovingly grows, to the solar panels that supply the energy to keep the farm going. Aaron and I stopped in for a night on our way to Pittsburgh, and I decided to pull my camera out for the first time in several weeks and took a ton of photos of this magical place.

I'm heading back to Vermont this week for my cousin's wedding! I can't wait to see my family again so soon and be in such a beautiful state.

Life lately

Just over two weeks ago, Aaron and I got married. It was the best day of my life. About a week after that, we packed up our car and moved to Pittsburgh. It's been an extremely busy summer, but I couldn't be happier. I'll be back soon with a more in depth wedding post!

Note: Findlay did not ride in the car on the dashboard, he only sat up there when we were stopped for food or gas!

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!
