Crave Cupcakes

I am currently in a Photo Contest to try and win Crave Cupcakes for an entire year! That's 365 delicious cupcakes! I have been Crave's BIGGEST Fan since they first opened in 2004. I am the only person in the world with customized Nike Air Force Ones in Crave-o-Licious Colours (pictured below) and I even worked for Ernst & Young, which nominated Crave as an Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist. Also, if I do end up winning, I will donate cupcakes to the Calgary Food Bank for Christmas!!!

Please please please VOTE HERE
Last day to vote is midnight on November 12, 2012!

Jumping on 25 Mil

Can you believe the Peace Bridge cost $25 million to build?

If you follow my blog, you all know how much I love jumping. My goal is to jump around the world, one country at a time. Well since jumping is contagious, DBS joined in on the fun. I absolutely love how these photos turned out!

The new Peace Bridge in downtown Calgary.

Sunny afternoon with DBS =)

 

Drake said it best, "25 sittin' on 25 mil"

Side Note - I experimented with high dynamic range (HDR) photography again. HDR is basically shooting three photos at different lighting and processing it into one photo. What do you think?

The Bucket List

Back in 2008 after I graduated University, I started writing goals for myself. Fast forward to 2012 and I can't believe how many goals/dreams I get to check off.

1) I need a job that challenges me - checked this off when I got hired at one of the 4 Big Firms in the World. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work for Ernst & Young...especially since I'm putting my Econ degree to good use lol.

2) I want to see the world - since I graduated I've been to the Philippines, Mexico, New York, Miami, Vegas (x4 lol), Orlando, & LA.

3) I need a stand up Guy - checked for almost 4 years!

4) I need to set goals - check....obviously lol

5) If I could go to one place in the entire world, it would be Italy, NY, Japan, Paris, London & Hawaii - NY check. Italy & Paris will be checked off in March! Ahhhh dreams really do come true :)

6) Learn how to cook - moving out on my own I was forced to learn! But cooking is really fun & if you know me, then you know I LOVE my food.

7) Volunteer for more Charities - volunteering has always been a passion of mine. Currently, I am a Big Sister for Big Sisters & Big Brothers of Calgary and a volunteer Teacher for Junior Achievement.

8) Cake Decorating Class - I took this class with my Big Sister 2 years ago. Since then we've received orders for Weddings, Birthdays, Stagettes and Baby Showers. Our dream is to open a bakery one day called Sugar & Bliss :)

9) Buy an SLR and learn Photography - the best present I ever received was my SLR for my 25th Birthday. Thank you Mom & Daddy! I have been featured on The New Yorker blog and won the Christmas Card contest, where my photos were featured in the Ernst & Young Holiday card. I still haven't taken a Photography class but I've got DBS to help me along the way ;)

10) Become a Teacher - this has always always always been my dream. I keep thinking its going to happen one day but really it already has. If you read my other goal above, I'm actually a Volunteer Teacher for Junior Achievement. Even if it's not a full time job I LOVE that I get to do it. Thank you to all the kids I've taught, you've made me so happy!

So what are your goals? Write them down and see what happens.

Ever since we were little Megs wanted to be a photographer and whenever I see her work I'm so proud of her. She's one of my oldest friends and to see her dreams come true seriously brings me so much joy. Here's to one of the sweetest girls I know, to future success and amazing pictures.
