Dan and I went on an over night camping trip this weekend to Arrowhead Provincial Park, with my aunt, two cousins, and 2 little ones. We had such a nice time, and went on a nice long walk through the bush to the most beautiful water fall on Sunday afternoon. I absolutely love camping.
We’ve decided that because finances are a little tricky right now due to our work situation, we are going to forego a traditional honeymoon, and instead, just pack up the car and head north and camp in random places for the week, or however long we feel like staying.
I’ve gotten so much done the last few days. This morning I woke up at 5:30 and worked for 3 hours before heading to my day job… I’m now at work taking a little breather, preparing to go home in a few hours, print my last 6 wedding invitations, and spend some time with my cuddley pug.
I also wanted to thank everyone who commiserated with me on my last few blog posts. It’s nice to feel like I’ve got people “on my side” in tough times, and I really appreciate the comments. I can’t wait until the day when I look back on this time of my life and smile at how we got through it…
Just like I smile and think fondly of my life when I was in college – living in that cockroach and bedbug infested apartment in Toronto… the one that I learned, the first night I moved in, that was beside a very noisy and frequently used train. The one with the Rastafarian next door neighbor. I ate nothing but dollar store Sidekicks pasta for nearly 2 years! And I feel like a better person for having done it.
I’d love to know your stories… is there a situation that you persevered through and now look back upon fondly?
