Sharing time… While on a family vacation, this past January, I was in a life-altering car accident. I was the only person involved in the crash. It occurred at the start of our vacation, so many people ask if it ruined my time off. It didn’t. In fact, it was the best vacation ever. And…
This is a photograph of my grandmother from the 40s. To have this portrait of her looking so full of life, means the world to me. It is one of the treasured photographs, rare gifts, that my grandfather left behind.
The other day, I decided to digitize some of my old slides. I don’t own a good slide scanner; however, I do possess a camera and a macro lens. So, I set up a little duping station in the studio and spent the afternoon reliving some of the moments and memories from the past. Even…
Have we ever told you the story of our engagement? It was a beautiful, sunny day in Piraeus, Greece right outside of Athens. We just finished a long walk from the cruise ship to the local Starbucks and grocery store situated next to a quaint boating dock. We ordered our favourite drinks, at the time,…

Since we are now in the heart of wedding season (pun intended), we are choosing to only flashback on our travels abroad once a month. With Bastille Day just around the corner, we figured we would stick with a French theme and continue our journey though France. Now we reminisce about our time in Marseilles……
What a gorgeous principality! It was our three-month anniversary of dating. We took the shuttle to the Yacht Club, where the ship’s tender drops you off, and walked along the harbor. We saw balloons and games everywhere! It was an impromptu fun fair!! We snacked on waffles smothered in nutella and took some fun photos…
I have a confession to make. I really love Italy! Which is probably why this is the third blog entry reminiscing about our summer overseas. On a warm day in July, Paul and I rode the forty minute express train from Civitavecchia to Rome. Upon reaching the central station, we hopped on a subway and…
No, not the drink (although it is rather tasty), but the Italian island of Capri. Six years ago, Paul and I arose early on a Saturday morning in June to take a hydrofoil from Naples to Capri. We sailed across the water for forty minutes before arriving at the sun-soaked island. We had no agenda….
