The BestOf Both
Brand New Me
It’s been awhile since my last post and a lot has changed since then. I feel like a new person, with a new perspective on life. This past month has been one of the most challenging I’ve gone through. I’ve learned a lot about myself and still have a lot more to figure out. But …
Photography Party
This past weekend, we celebrated my little brother’s birthday. He’s finally 19 – and you all know what that means… Alcohol (and lots of it!). I mean… Cameras (and lots of it)!

Seasons Change

After months of traveling back + forth, he moved to Toronto, where she stayed up late listening to Counterstrike strats and he unwillingly participated in Saturday morning cleaning. Fast forward, they had many more adventures, got a puppy named Simcoe (the name of the street of their Toronto home), and shipped all of their things across the country (i.e. his board games + collectibles, her textbooks + shoes).
