One Year....

So today marks one year since I left the snowy, cold Albertan prairie to begin my adventure in Europe. And I couldn't be happier.

Nic and I woke up at 6:30 this morning (voluntarily!), meditated, and enjoyed a perfect, slow coffee morning. A trip along to the post office and then a laughter-filled phone call, some guitar and handstands rounded it all out. We enjoyed lunch with Libby at Chez Vero's, the only (but really good) resteraunt in Congenies. Then I napped off the 2 glasses of wine and my full belly outside in the sunshine, woken up by Nicole singing in the garden. Now I'm at the computer to do some work and later will work on some drawings...

Like I said, I couldn't be happier.

I'm in awe of my life right now and so grateful that I have had the opportunity to spend the past year travelling. Thanks Mom, Dad, and everyone who have offered their support and love. I'm sending warm sunshine thoughts across the ocean to you all.

big love

I can't believe you've been gone for a year! It's looking like I myself might be back (with Petus in tow) might be back in e-town in July to work for a few months before going to Korea to teach English. I really hope you'll still be there!

Hi Kyla, So glad to hear you are having the time of your life in Europe. Have you been to Italy yet?
Yes, it's cool in Alberta, and very busy at work :)
Keep posting pictures, loving seeing them.

Hello there!
How are you? We're all fine. Spring has finally arrived in Manitoba - the snow has pretty well melted and the Canadian Geese have starting arriving back home (two sure signs!). I'm sorry we weren't able to meet up while I was in Paris, but my Mom mentioned that you will be home at the end of May, so hopefully we'll get a chance to see one another at the girls' weekend. I had a wonderful time in London and Paris. It was a whirlwind trip and we seen as much was we could in just over a week. I'm anxious to hear what you've been up to, so please update your Blog!
Take care.
Love,
