Olympic Fever!

I just got to watch the official Olympic Torch-bearer run by me in Alliston, ON. It was really neat, waiting with hundreds of other freezing Canadians. In hindsight, I should definitely have put a pair of long-johns on. But I had all my new Canadian Olympic gear on, so at least I looked festive. My toes are still frozen, though. Here are some pictures. I love Sidney Crosby. :)

Here are a few photos from my recent trip down to Central America. :) Enjoy!

 

Holidays in Canada

I'm blessed to spend the Christmas holidays in the most beautiful country on earth. (And that would be Canada for those of you who were unaware, lol.) Anyways, I'm enjoying spending time with family members and friends, and can't believe how fast time is flying! We spent tonight with the Dewoldes, and watched the Leafs dominate the Pens (sorry Dad!) and then played a long game of Scene It (which Cameron and I lost, but only because our questions were the hardest; "Arsenic and Old Lace" from 1944, who the crap has heard of that?). New Years will be here before we know it, and then I'll be heading back down to the States with some friends from U of Guelph for the Passion conference in Atlanta. Oh, and I finally get to see the Olympic torch processional in Alliston on Dec. 30th, which I am über excited about. I'm about to go bankrupt buying Olympic merch from the Hudson's Bay Company... :)

Pura Vida - Costa Rica!!!

I am on the most amazing trip EVER.... in Costa Rica, Central America. It´s been a wonderful, adventure-filled 15 days and there are so many stories to tell, pictures to show, and memories to look back on. I will definitely be uploading some pictures from my trip when I return tomorrow, Dec. 21, on my birthday. I´ll be in two countries on my birthday - a first for me. I haven´t ever had a birthday outside of Canada (or in an airport). Anyways, we´re about to head to dinner for our last night in Tamarindo, CR. We went on a catamaran today, which included snorkeling and watching the beautiful sunset from the ocean. We´ve surfed a lot these past few days, too, which has been awesome. Hasta luego!
