Happy Monday all!! I can’t believe how fast the month of August has gone by… too fast for my liking!! It seems that as each year passes,  the time goes by faster and faster. Does anyone else feel this way?

Today is a special day and I would like to wish my parents a very HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!! I hope you have 30 more years of happiness together Mom and Dad. Thank you for all that you do for us!!

This weekend was another BUSY but FABULOUS weekend. Friday, I had a good workout on my TRX and then went for a short and (somewhat) speedy run. Saturday morning we were up early to get our errands done before a jam-packed day. Then we were off to work to shoot a wedding in the beautiful Niagara-on-the-Lake. (As I mentioned before G-Man is a photographer and I’m his assistant.) It was an absolute pleasure to capture my friend Cathy’s wedding. Cathy and I met at a Young Adult Cancer Canada  Retreat two years ago in Montreal. It was amazing to see her and her now husband glowing from ear to ear. It was also an added bonus that I got to hug some INCREDIBLE survivors from my Cancer Posse who were at the wedding…. it had been awhile! I admire each one of them for so many reasons.

SURVIVORS!

a quick group shot before heading out!

Saturday night my loving ever-so-handome-husband took me out for a nice dinner for my birthday. Vegetarians, look away. We went to Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse  in Niagara Falls. I love the ambiance of Brasa and a big one for me – the service. G-Man and I are NOT big meat eaters at all, although we definitely enjoyed the fire-roasted meat served to us on Saturday. Gauchos carve the meat right at your table.

After dinner we went for a good walk which was much needed after eating more than we normally do… but hey, that’s allowed sometimes eh!

out for a walk in the city

Sunday was another early morning. We were up and out the door to go meet my sister and brother-in-law. They invited us to a Blue Jays game in Toronto. What a FUN day we had!! It had been awhile since we had all spent time together so there was lots of catching up.

nice peace sign baby! haha

the 4 of us!

the sister and i!

I know I mentioned it here, but I really do have THE BEST SISTER EVER!! We all had so much fun together. After a brutal loss by the Jay’s we decided to walk around the city a bit and we came across the Busker Fest.

isn't he handsome!!

There was some great talent showcased and one in particular that I could not get over.

bad picture, i know.. but if you look closely you can see her in the box

A Contortionist. This girl had a KILLER body.. wowzas. The way she bended and twisted her body was crazzzy and just so not normal!! I can’t even imagine the dedication and hard work it would take to maintain a body like that. She stuffed herself inside a box that was about 16×16… eeek!

After an eventful day we were ready to head back home. Although being extremely tired I couldn’t help but feel incredibly greatful to be blessed with such a wonderful family and the absolute most amazing husband – ever!! PS: Look what I came home to after being away at the cottage:

Welcome Home Mami

AND this!

yum!

Isn’t he sweet?!

Tell me a highlight from YOUR weekend!!
