I'm a prairie girl at heart, born and raised in Manitoba. I am currently living on the west coast with my Mexican hubby. Our cultural differences make the days interesting and his energy and love of life, food and travel makes this adventure with him a great one! I try to LIVE life to it's fullest, LOVE as much as I can, LAUGH always, EAT with enjoyment and TRAVEL to experience what this crazy world has to offer.
Let me share a secret with you… It all started when Armando and I first started dating. We were out all day and then decided to finish off the evening with dinner and a movie at Armando’s place. But Armando’s fridge was empty and we were so hungry at that point that we didn’t feel … More Pizza in a Box
Armando and I love movies. And I am one of the luckiest girls alive because he loves to go to chick flicks with me. He will never admit it but I know he enjoys them; the duplication of romantic comedies in our combined DVD library attests to that. I think it’s the romantic Latino side … More Outdoor Movie Romance…who needs a Chick Flick?
I had a dream the other night that woke me up in a panic. No, I wasn’t being chased by some axe murderer, nor was I being haunted by creepy ghosts and ghouls.

And the faces are none other than moi and mi Armando! Can you believe it?! Our faces on the outside of a KLM … More Faces on a Plane – How our Photo Ended Up on a KLM Plane
On Sunday evening, I turned to Armando and asked him what his schedule was like this upcoming week. This was a regular conversation between us because his job requires him to travel on a regular basis. “I’m taking the ferry to Victoria tomorrow and will be back on Tuesday. Do you want to come?” This … More Romantic Dinner…on a Ferry?!
If you didn’t get our Save the Date yet, it’s not my fault. What is a Save the Date you ask? I didn’t know either, until I got engaged and realized that I have no idea what I’m suppose to do to plan a wedding. Me: Can we just elope? Armando: What’s elope? (Just so … More Save the Dates or Elope?
So in the last 12 months, I left my stable government job, moved to BC with my boyfriend, started my own business, had my first almost snow-free winter (which I loved!), got engaged, became a first-time home buyer with my fiancé and moved again, closed my business, had a mid-life crisis, saw a career advisor … More Whirlwind Year in a Nutshell
