On to Three Years...

When I think about it, it doesn't seem like it could possibly be three years ago. It doesn't seem like a long amount of time, three years. But when I think about all of the things I have done and accomplished in the last three years it blows my mind.

Where I was emotionally, physically, mentally has changed so much. I was such a child, young, more naive (not denying that I am still naive), terrified of what the future would bring, wondering what life was going to be from that point on.

I wouldn't say that I still get terrified of what is to come or could happen. But I feel that I approach things differently. I am learning to be proud of my accomplishments and attempt to take my failures gracefully.

But yes, as of September 5, 2015 I have had MS for 3 years.

I am sure lots of things have changed in your life in the last 3 years, but let me give you some of my highlights from this last year at least. Cause reading is sometimes boring. And today I don't want to bore you!


HIGHLIGHTS

If you know me you know how much I LOVE playing in the mud! I also love sucking my friends into this mess! 

Spent a beautiful evening at a rotating restaurant in Vancouver with my dad last fall 2014. On one of my trips to Vancouver for treatment

I LOVE fall. I also LOVE my rubber boots. 


Enjoyed showing Lil' Annie my dads new skateboard. Its called a OneWheel. 

 

I HATE mice. I hate it even more when when they are running through my house and in my bed. That was not great experience. 

Our families little girl passed away tis year. She was a great little cuddlier. Lucy.

Last Reading Break I found the most amazing waterfall outside of Mission. Cascade Falls. 

We won bearded toques! Best way to end our Reading Break. 


Spent a lot of time studying this year. Writing papers. And spending way too much money at Starbucks.

Love exploring with Anna! 

Spent a lot of time swimming this year. Invested in a waterproof Mp3 player. Game changer!

Joined an intermural soccer team. We had a ton of fun. Don't think we won any games and I really coudn't acutally see for most of the games. But it was fun! 






Camping trip to Jasper and the Kootneys as a "Finally Done Nursing" Trip. With my one and only Christie Pudlas!
I LOVE staying out late, taking pictures of stars and spending time with friends. 

GRADUATION!! I can't actually quite believe that I made it through nursing. 
 
I see where I get this face from. 

Got a gig volunteering at a dog sled kennel. She is one of my favourites. 

And she grew so fast! 

An old friend from PG was up here and stopped by the kennels. 

 

MUD MUD MUD!! I found an AWESOME spot up here! LOVE it. 

Jimbo caught a nice Pickerel. Couldn't hang on to it and it slipped out of his hands after this pic. 

He loved coming out to the kennels with me!
Puppies. Puppies. Puppies. 

So cool to be able to work along side a world champion dog sledder! 

Taking the dogs for a run all harnessed up. They run in front of hte ATV until it snows. 


I kinda really like it at the kennels. 

Did a beautiful hike to a place called Flower Springs. 

North of Fort Nelson. Summit Lake. 4200 feet. There is snow there right now  :(

North Tetsa River

Most amazing Northern Lights I have seen at this point in my life! I cannot wait for more. 

Andy Bailey Lake. Camping trip with some friends. 

Liard Hot Springs with a bunch of goons!
