Catching up...

Hey everyone,

I haven't wrote a post in ages, apologies. Since I wrote last I have had a lot going on and I found it hard to find the time to sit down and write. I am in awe of bloggers who can post content regularly. Editing pictures and posts is not easy, so hats off to people who can do it all the time.

I was meant to write a blog post about my trip to Las Vegas but it wasn't the right time. When I got back from Vegas I had to fly home to Ireland unexpectedly for three days. Instead I am going to fill you in now on the past month and show you a few pictures of the Las Vegas trip and my life in general in Toronto.

First off, I will let ye know how my Vegas trip went. It was myself, Parker and 2 friends that went on the trip. Seeing as it was a couples holiday, it wasn't going to be extremely wild, although we did joke that one of us could get married and I can confirm that we..... DID.... not get married ;-)

I have been to Vegas before but Parker had never been so I was excited for him to see it. I think it's such a cool place. Everyone is in good spirits partying and gambling and the sun is always shining. We stayed in the Flamingo Hotel and we got the renovated rooms which were lovely. We ate alot, like you do on holidays and we enjoyed the well needed heat after coming from the minus figures in Toronto. Over all it was an enjoyable holidays, we could of done with partying a little be harder but I must be getting sensible in my old age haha. Below are a few pictures. I also posted a video of the trip of my Facebook page a couple of weeks ago if you missed it.







The day after I returned to Toronto I received terrible news and flew home to Ireland. Although my visit was brief and not a happy one, I count myself extremely lucky that I was able to fly home so quickly and it made me realise that I am not so far away after all, On a good note, I did get to spend the time with my friends and family and of course I got some cuddles from my gorgeous(grown up) niece. I hope I get to go home at Christmas now under nicer circumstances and see everyone again.



When I first arrived back to Toronto it started to snow again and I thought it would never end. This weekend however it completely changed and I actually got burnt. A few of us decided to take a trip over to the islands which is a short 10 minute ferry ride away. We spent a lovely Sunday afternoon relaxing and getting some heat into our bones for a change. I couldn't get over how last Sunday I was eating ice cream while it was snowing (yes, my hands were freezing) and then this Sunday I got burnt. Lets hope it continues now for awhile. The city is a different place when its warmer. It's busy and everyone is happier. 






 
                               

Today is also Parker's birthday, another year older and not even slightly wiser;-) Looking forward to the weekend to celebrate Parker's and another friends birthday on Saturday. Should be a good one.

Happy Birthday to my better half, the housewife, the chef and my absolute rock.
Enjoy the celebrations you legend!

Talk soon friends  xx
