Photo Throwback

Follow @caraallover Happy Friday!
Hope your week was nothing but lovely, and your weekend will be even better ;)
Today is a bit of an unfortunate day for me, as I lost the battery charger to my DSLR! I feel like someone has cut off my arms - what will I do with myself? In light of this, and the yucky Toronto weather, it has got me rummaging through my old iPhoto libraries and came upon this gem from my father's wedding last summer. Taken by my lovely aunt (I told you photography runs in the family) it is one of the few photos where my little brother (yes, LITTLE) is actually pretending to like me! Lol. It also got me craving the summery dresses, tan skin, and hot weather. What else are you looking forward to for summer?!

Love is in the air!

Follow @caraallover Hope everyone is having a swell February so far! I know I sure am- but mostly because I'm counting down the days until my reading week. I will get one and a half weeks at home, which means no screaming college kids, loud construction, public bathrooms or cafeteria food. Heaven? Yes. I'm also feeling extremely blessed to be spending Valentine's Day with my special someone for the first time :) Hopeless romanticism runs in my family. Here are some pics from the other day, when my lovely man visited and he, my lady Danielle, and I decorated cupcakes baked by some residence staff! Here's to sharing the love ♥

Another Happy B-Day to..

My daddy! One of my best friends, confidants, and all around great guy, finally turned 50 yesterday.

Not one of my best creations, but these brownies sure tasted good :)

My stepmom threw a fantastic surprise party Saturday night, as well as a family dinner Sunday evening. I can never get enough quality time with my family :) It was catered by a fantastic little business in town called Fergie's Fine Foods who made the beautiful cake you see above. I may have gained a solid 50 pounds from it all, but it was definitely worth it. Love you, Dad!

Happy Friday!

I'm so excited for this upcoming weekend. Today consisted of studying and getting my nails done, tomorrow will consist of more studying and celebrating a girlfriend's birthday, and Sunday will be all about my wonderful Daddy's big 50th. And lots and lots of food. A weekend at home well-spent I'd say! Just trying not to think about heading back to reality on Monday...

Wishing a happy birthday to..

Follow @caraallover My bestest friend Veronica! Though we are miles apart, I want to make sure this lady has a wonderful b-day. Happy 20th love! :)
