Putting my scanner to good use...

 Two super cute photographs that the amazing Coast Mountain Photography  took of my sister and I, during our Canadian Holiday back in 2011.

Not a day goes by where I don't stop and think about the sheer beauty of this place, and the magical feeling that it holds.

Cannot wait to return at the end of the year to begin final preparations for our Wedding. It's going to be like coming 'home'.

Educating a younger generation

Over the last year or so, I have been introducing my fiance's niece (Tahlia) to the world of  The X-Files.

The young lady (who is 15) asked for the box set for Christmas!

Now, the family have booked their accommodation for our wedding in Whistler (YAY!) and imagine the swelling pride I felt when my sister in law (to be) said: 

'Tahlia is so excited to be going to Vancouver, and expects you to take her to all the set locations that you can."

Of course. Of course I will.

I encourage everyone to introduce The X-Files to someone who has never seen it before. If you trust them, loan them your box set. ; )

Missing Whistler

It's that time of year again.

Whistler Blackcomb is open for another season. Every time I see the excitement and anticipation on the skiers/boarders faces when they camp out waiting to catch the first gondola up to the peak on opening day, I can't help but feel pangs of envy for them.

This video made me shed a tear.

Twelve months ago we were merely days out from going to Canada for a month long odyssey. This year, we have at least another twelve months to wait.

[ Life ] Busy, but loving it!

Approaching June 2012. The month I've been counting down to.

There is so much coming up.

Work is approaching end of financial year (so it's going to be crazy busy, which is a good thing!) - The 'Born This Way' Ball is happening on June 13th (cannot wait to see Lady Gaga again!) - My 30th Birthday Party 'Back to the 90s' is happening on June 23rd - and then last but not least, on June 30th I will attend OzComicCon in Melbourne, and finally get to meet 'Walter Skinner' himself, Mr Mitch Pileggi.

'American Flag' Costume is what I'm wearing to The BTW Ball!

My gorgeous dress for the MP Dinner (OzComCon)

Throughout July, I will be concentrating on work with PAYG summaries and rate changes coming out of my butt. But at least it all gets done, and then the year can progress (with Wedding Planning!!!). I'm hoping to hear back from the Whistler council hopefully by the end of the week. Then after 6 long months I will finally have set the date for our special day. I envision everything in my head, but since I'm not physically on the ground in Whistler until the beginning of January 2014, I'm going to have to employ a wedding planning service I think. People who know me, will know that this is going to be very hard for me to hand the reigns over to someone else... but it's what has to be done.

Also still waiting patiently to see if my dream dress  is going to be a reality. : )
