Hope

Hope. A four letter word with oh so much meaning.

Lately I have realized that I hold out a lot of hope in my life. Hope for people and things. Hope that he`ll call. Hope that she`ll make time for me. Hope that things will get easier. I hold out so much hope, yet it continually fails me. Hope is just one big persistent let down.

Some people may see this as being sinister, but it`s the truth.
Hope. A four letter word with oh so much meaning, yet it just lets you down.

Fall Is Coming (well I guess it`s here)

So I may have gotten a little too excited today when I walked into the grocery store and saw the displays of pumpkins. I find fall such a beautiful season. The leaves changing color. It still being nice enough that you can go for a walk without it taking 10 minutes to get your outerwear on. All the great baking that can be done!

I have so many strong memories as a child going to farms and such at this time of year. Picking apples, pumpkins, etc, running through the hay mazes and just spending time with the family.

Thanksgiving is coming up in a few weeks and I am excited to go home to all the good food that usually emerges on this holiday. I am also looking forward to a family apple picking trip (hint hint mom).

Last Official Weekend of Summer

So we are heading into the last official weekend of summer, said the meteorologist on BT this morning. You can already feel the fall coolness coming into the air, which makes it a great time to rock out some new fall jackets, but I am also saddened that soon my sandals will all need to be packed away.

This weekend I have entitled catch up weekend, in which I plan to spend some good quality time with friends that I haven`t seen in a while and truly do miss. As I feel myself growing older, there seems to be less and less time to spend to get together with friends. Everyone has there own schedule and to find time that works for both parties is like magic. I have tried to make it one of my goals over the summer to get together with friends that I haven`t seen in a while and who hold a special place in my heart.


^^Random kids, but I thought it was a cute little group of friends.

The Opposite of Love

People like to say the opposite of love is not hate but indifference. There tends to be a whispered reverence around the expression, as if it has magical healing powers. Better to be hated then ignored by that angry ex of yours; better to be hated than ignored, generally. Otherwise, you may spend your life staring straight down the barrel of the opposite of love.

Movie Review: Charlie St. Cloud

Last night we finally found the time to take a house movie trip, although very last minute, to go and see Charlie St.Cloud. The movie had me hooked with the adorable smile and sleak hair cut of Zac Efron.

Although the trailer looked very chick flicky, I give this movie a lot more credit then that and would recommend it as long as you don`t mind having a good cry.

It`s really hard to summarize the movie without giving to much away, so I recommend you watch the trailer on youtube and then go see it.

Big City Living

As most of you know I love the city and everything about it: the noise, the people, the consant buzz all around. But being in the city you often forget about the natural beauty that is right above you.

This weekend we went down to the beach and had a little bonfire (one of my favorite summer activities may I add) and I found myself in awe over the beauty of a clear night sky filled with so many stars.


That same night sky lies over me every night, but it isn`t until you are only meters away from the hustle and bustle of the city that you realize and remember its beauty.

The Last few Bits of Summer

Summer has flown by like no other, only 3 weeks left, NOT that I`m counting!

I have found this summer to be much more enjoyable then some of the previous. Maybe that is because I`m not preoccupied with completing summer courses and can actually just enjoy the summer months!

I have been to a couple great concerts lately, flourished by some great company.


Kings of Leon was a little over two weeks ago now. Overall a pretty good concert. They sound exactly like there album live.



John Mayer on the other hand was absolutley incredible, not that I would expect anything less. We had a great time rocking out to his old and new songs along with some great covers.

Last week we had some family visitors from overseas. We got to hit up the Jay`s game, which was a lot of fun.


Over the August long weekend Beck, Nick and I headed up to Shawn`s cottage in Aurora. We got in some great days of wakeboarding, swimming, suanaing and just chilling.

I did manage to get up on the wakeboard for a very brief stint, thanks to the wonderful instruction of Beck and Shawn.


Overall the summer so far has been very complacement. Some very exciting weekends, along with some very chill ones. Looking forward to the just enjoying these next couple weeks of gorgeous weather!
