Vacation is within reach!!

Ok, so it's been awhile. Some exciting stuff has happened over the last month, and more exciting stuff is yet to come. My last post has left off at Blue Mountain. Since then, I went back there a few times, the teaching season has finished, and I can't believe that winter is pretty much over in Ontario. The last month of winter though, proved to be great. We had some awesome weather, great riding conditions, and I successfully completed the CASI Level 2 course. It took a second try on the teaching aspect, but it's all really because I choked on giving feedback the first time. Oh well. Got it a week later, no big deal. My goals and aspirations as a Snowboard Instructor really just include this as a part of a big process of getting to be the best I can be, and ultimately one day, I would LOVE nothing more than to have my Level 4, but this is years away. I will slowly climb this ladder, build and proceed forward with this endeavor. I know I have phenomenal support and guidance from some very amazing people in my life, who helped me get this far, and whom I know will only continue to do so in the future. So I THANK YOU ALL!! 

So sadly, the teaching season has wound up. We had a good party, took over a pub in Milton, some people got sloppy, most of us did not. It was great seeing everyone, out of uniform, having a good time. Obviously some people were missing because of work/vacations and would have loved to have had them there, but alas, it's understandable. There are pictures on facebook. 

My Uncle had his 40th birthday as well, which really means we're all getting older, so I made him a wicked cake. He loves the Titanic. What's better than a sinking ship cake for your 40th birthday? Nothing. LOL

A couple of my best friends in the whole entire world now have a beautiful baby girl. Riley Marie was born on March 26th, and she's cute as a freakin button. I love her already, and will spoil her rotten. That's what good Aunties do!! xoxo

AND NOW- It's almost VACATION TIME!!! OMG SO EXCITED!! 
On April 7th, I head to YYZ, and I'm leaaaaavvvvinn on a jet plane!! But I know when I'll be back again. I'm going to BC for the better part of a month. I fly back in on May 3rd. I have some loose plans, but will include:
-Whistler, the 1st weekend of Telus world ski & snowboard festival. Going April 15th-17th.
-Tofino! Visiting Kim! I'll be going out there April 18th-24th. Learning to surf. Hanging out. Beach bummin' it.
-Capilano Suspension Bridge and treetop walkway tour. So cool!
-Stanley Park- renting a bike and doing the seawall. Or walking it. either way, I think I will spend more than one day discovering this park. 
-Many hours spent walking downtown
-Hanging out with Dave!! Whom I haven't seen in like 5 years, easily. I'm pumped to see him. We're gonna party!!
- Hanging with my Uncle Steve and family. I don't get to see these amazing people near as much as I want to. AND I get to help them move! cool stuff!!

I will try to blog while I'm out there. Anyway....

RANDOM THOUGHTS!!
- Cats aren't the best laundry helpers.
- Trying to figure out what to pack, to go away for a month is fuckin' hard. I'm currently putting that off.
- Too many guys read too much into what women really mean. If we say we don't give a fuck about whatever it may be, we usually don't. Unless we're lying.
- If someone lies about how they feel about being in a situation, it's their own fuckin' fault if they're angry/upset/uncomfortable. Fuckin' speak your mind, and feelings or you'll only have yourself to blame.
- Snowboarding is my most favourite thing to do on this entire planet. If I could ride all year round, I seriously would.
