Tick Tock... The Time is Coming
Well we are currently less then 2 weeks away (11 days to be exact) from departure, which at this point with so much left to do is a very scary thought!
This past weekend, I enjoyed my last night going out in Toronto with all my fabulous friends, which made it really hit home that time is slowly starting to run out.
I have learned over the last month that when you only have minimal time left with people you need to make the time count for everything that it is worth. I truly do value all my friends and family who are supporting me on this journey. It`s not going to be easy leaving you all, but this trip is an opportunity of a lifetime and I will have 75+ more years to spend near you all!
Guess I better get packing...

Movie Review: Country Strong
The last time I went to see a movie at the theatre I wrote a little review on it. So this weekend was my first time since then going to the theatre so I figured I would keep up with the tradition.
I saw the fabulous movie Country Strong starring Gwenyth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund. The heart felt story line combined with the superb acting and music had me hook line and sinker.
There really arn`t enough good things I could say about the movie. As soon as I got home I downloaded all the songs and have been listening to them on repeat for the past 2 days.
To give you a little taste this was one of my favorite parts of the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr19RRx6x9A
I would highly recommend this movie and I truly believe it should have a couple oscar nods being thrown its way.

11 is better than 10
Well 2011 has arrived, which means my departure date is slowly drawing closer. The weeks are going to fly past! But before getting caught up to much in 2011, I just wanted to take a moment and reflect on 12 memories of 2010.
January - After just coming off a fabulous family vacation, it was great to ring in the New Year tanned and surrounded by close friends.
February - I have to say looking back this was one of the most unreal months, watching Canada host the Olympics, it made me fall in love with my wonderful country even more. Our reading week trip to Tremblant just added to the phenomenal experience. Tremblant is a trip I will never forget and this was largely due to the amazing people I had to company of sharing it with.
March - You only get one chance to live through 4th year, so I did it up big time!
April - I finally did it... Finished University!
May - FRANCE!!!! A trip of a lifetime experiencing Paris and the Monaco Grand Prix. Once again... life changing!
June - Some great weekends spent going out downtown. Discovered Priceline for the first time, which has changed my life!
July - Got to meet some extended family from Scotland and show them Toronto!
August - To add to the summer memories, John Mayer rocked the stage at the Molson Ampitheatre again.
September - My first MAC Homecoming as an actual alumni. It maybe another few years before I make it back to MAC, so always a pleasure to say I experienced it!
October - Another experience of Western Homecoming, it never disappoints!
November - Gracie`s Toronto, has become a favorite hotspot!
December - The holiday season is always one of my favorites. Another great Christmas surrounded by a lot of family!
I have a feeling that 2011 is going to bring some just as awesome memories!
