My family and I, along with our best family friends, went on the Norwegian Getaway for 7 days, over the week of New Year's. The cruise had three stopovers in the Caribbean; St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Bahamas. The ship left from Miami, so we also had a few days there before we boarded, and so I got in my day of shopping that is always necessary while in Florida! So here are just some snippets and peeks into my vacation. I hope you all had a fabulous holiday, that the new year is treating you well so far, and that you're ready for my regular blogging to resume!
Happy 2015 everyone! Apologies on the lack of posts in the new year so far. As you know, I was on a family vacation and then last week, though I was already home, I just needed some time to get back to work, routine, and real life. But, now that I'm (unfortunately) reaccustomed to not laying by the pool all day and forgetting about responsibilities, I have some amazing vacation pictures to show you. My family and I, along with our best family friends, went on the Norwegian Getaway for 7 days, over the week of New Year's.

In Canada, Monday was a Civic Holiday and so it was a long weekend. Well, it wasn't much of a long weekend for me, because I worked all day Saturday and Sunday, although I didn't end up minding since it ended up raining pretty hard those days. Monday I finally got a day off, and thankfully the weather was finally cooperating! Our backyard is a pretty good size, and we have a little patio going on, but it's so empty and lame and not great for entertaining guests, or even just having a few people over (seriously we didn't even have a table or chairs). So this weekend my parents went out and ordered a small tables with chairs, and just for fun, a fire pit! So Sunday night we went for dinner with some family friends, and then invited them back to our place to roast marshmallows over our brand new fire pit. I love being outside, especially on summer mornings when it feels like you don't need to have a care in the world because the moment can last forever (that is one of my happy places, just so you know), and I have been nagging my mom about getting even the smallest table and even just one chair, so that I can sit and eat breakfast or read a book outside this summer. So when they ordered the table set with not one, but four chairs, it's safe to say I did a little happy dance and was extremely pleased. Monday morning I was able to sit outside and do some work while having my morning coffee and some breakfast. It wasn't too sunny, which was fine because it allowed me to actually see my computer screen, but it was nice and warm which is just how i like it. All summer I've been dying to go to the pool at the Richmond Hill Country Club, where my parents are members, but because I work a lot we haven't gotten a chance. So yesterday my mom and I finally went, and we were even able to get in some pool time before it clouded over and we just made it back to the car before getting rained on. Oh well! Hope you all a great (long) weekend!
