Sad Post

A sad, sad thing happened this weekend. I spilt milk on my laptop. Classic Hope clumsiness, I know. I cried over split milk, how ironic. So posts will be less frequent :( I will be managing my life from my phone for a while which makes things a little more difficult. But at least iPhone has a Blogger App!

So for now I leave you with Instagrams!

Life Will Write The Words

Hey everyone!! How's everyone's summer been going? Mine has been quite lovely :)

So thankful for the amazing weather we've been having in little Saskatchewan. There's been a couple almost-amazing storms, but I'm still waiting for the real big ones with lightening across the sky, and thunder that shakes under your feet. I'm so addicted to storms, ever since I was little and saw "Twister" I've thought they were so neat. My mom even took my brother and I to Defienbaker Hill (the tallest point in our city) when I was about 6 to see a funnel cloud that was right above us! Coolest mom ever, am I right?!

I've been listening to the new Biebs album on repeat since it came out. I know, I know, I'm a dork. But really, I've loved Justin Bieber from the start and can't let everyone making fun of me decide on what music I listen to! I also bought the new Rocket Summer album the day it came out. It's beautiful, as is everything with Bryce Avery, and I just can't tell you what his voice and soul does to my heart. It lifts it up every time I hear just a note of his music. Mmmm. Give it a serious listen.

Homestead ice cream has got to be one of my favourite places in the city to go still, it's got such a cool retro vibe and the homemade ice cream is to die for. I got the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut for the first time and almost went to heaven it was so delightful! Can't wait for a summer filled with ice cream dates, walks by the river and lunches at the Broadway Cafe. I have a feeling 2012 is going to be a good one! Not to mention Fringe is going to be perfect. Best cast, best venue, and so many amazing friends coming back to the city from previous summer that I cannot wait to reconnect with.

Just something about the arts that makes me smile constantly. Did I mention my play is in the Broadway Theatre?! My work will literally be performed on Broadway. Could this summer be any better?

Shirt, necklace and bracelets: Forever21

Best of luck to everyone on having the best summer ever!! I know that's excessively cliche, but I feel like this it is something everyone should try and do every year, always make the most of what life throws at ya!

You've Got So Much Love In You

"Hearts need a beat, like awake needs asleep. Like a pen, needs a page. To learn right you need a mistake. Hearts need a mind, like a clock needs the time. Like white needs black. If you leave I hope you need to come back." -The Rocket Summer

Such a beautiful song with heart warming lyrics. Which goes along perfectly with the gorgeous weekend I had. Get ready for me to be all fuzzy for the next while!

My cousin got married yesterday, and it was filled with smiles, tears, laughter and just love all around. It was the first wedding of our family and we're pretty tight-knit so there was a lot of excitement within our family! One of the first times I've seen that girl in a dress too, she's quite the tom boy and it was nice to see her get excited over a dress :) Her husband is more than perfect for her and our family, and we all couldn't be happier to welcome him into our family (although he was basically one of us the day we met him!). It was an outdoor wedding, and thankfully it was sunny out! It rained every single other day of the week, so it was extremely lucky!! The ceremony was beautiful.

Here's some snaps of the newly weds and my lovely family and my handsome date :) He bought a tie just to match me, what a sweetheart!!

Those were just my favourites, so many more photos of the joy that went on!!

Wishing you all get to go to some weddings this summer too! They are so much fun every time. My feet are still killing me from dancing all night, my dance partner really tired me out haha.

Even The Stars They Burn

Summertime really has to be the best time. Auditions for my play start in two days, I'm absolutely thrilled. There's been a fair amount of buzz about it from what I can tell, which is seriously exciting. And nerve racking. I might have been a nervous wreck for the past week, my coworkers and friends can seriously vouch for that one. Haha. Apologies to all of you who have had to deal with me, and thanks in advance for putting up with my anxiety this summer :) La la la, things coming together really freak me out and excite me at the same time. My emotions, nerves, stress levels and basically just my life in general have been a bit of roller coaster this month. Lots of downs, but a whole bundle of ups too! Gotta focus on the positives!!

Jason Mraz's new album is absolute bliss. I'm Coming Over Tonight is basically the cutest hidden track of my life. It's so upbeat, fun, lovey and just puts you in a fantastic mood.

Anyone else really missing being a kid lately? I miss tying my balloon around my wrist, wearing water wings in the pool and putting cartoon band aids on my scraped knees. Wait, I still do all of those...minus the water wings :)

Anyway, went shopping at some second hand stores this afternoon and ended up doing some DIY crop tops and short shorts! Feeling like I accomplished a bit of something today at least.
Have a great weekend!!
