I turned twenty.

So, yesterday, I turned twenty. Yep, twenty years old.

I had so much happen yester, and I would describe it as one of the best days of my life.

I first started by getting myself some things I wanted.

A Neil Gaiman book, a couple of shirts, and a bottle of my favourite spray from Bath and BodyWorks.

The began the gifts from my friends, all of which were surprises.

 The lovely Emma got me two books. One from an author I've never read, but apparently, should have, John Green. The other is from an author who I've been reading for a bit, Neil Gaiman. Amazing books.

 My friend Vanessa got me this huge tea set. From my favourite tea place. Teavana. One of the great gifts I have ever received in my life.

 I found this adorable cat shirt. From my friend Carissa. It is adorable and makes me look fabulous. Another great gift!

I was completely overwhelmed with what took place on my birthday, especially this outstanding gifts. I was touched incredibly based on each of our financial situation.

After all that, I went out to dinner with my boyfriend, Leonard.

I eat free on my birthday!

We picked a nice place the was cost affordable. I'm on a budget, no matter if it is my birthday or not.

I had a great time! And Leonard and I were excited to be celebrating my special day together.

We started with the grilled your own bread station. Mm!

I've discovered that sun-dried tomato sauce is my new favorite bread spread.

Our main courses came shortly after we finished our bread.

Oh, yes, and we added liquor.

Dessert, of course.

And, finally the night ended, we went home to a cozy warm house and slept peacefully.

What did you do for your birthday?

My personal favourite thing: food!

I hope everyone's holidays were as enjoyable as mine. I got lots of things this Christmas, which makes me thankful.

Christmas is filled with all kinds of things. My personal favorite thing: food! 

We set up our Christmas tree a little late this year, mostly because my parents like to wait for me to come home, and because I had work, I was home a closer to Christmas. But my tree was huge.

My dog likes to have his butt in all my photos. He thinks he is photogenic.

We also did some baking, though, I believe two of our cheese cakes didn't turn out, we did have one successful cheese cake. And, it's cherry my favorite.

And because I'm classy, and always do things backwards, it's the French side.

I got some new clothes, which I love. My mother embraces my weird hipster ways. She got me some great tops, and these high-waist-ed vintage looking jeans. I was pretty impressed with her clothes choices.

Christmas day was great, and if I do say so myself, I look great!

I visited both my parents grandparents. They each had huge suppers. Like huge turkey suppers. Not that I'm complaining! I finished my visits with a Richards White, surrounded by family.

It was really great beer. I was impressed.

The rest of the night was spent in my pajamas that I got for Christmas watching 2 Broke Girls, one of my newest television obsessions. Speaking of, I should get back to finishing off the second season.

Happy Holidays,

Introducing Lindsay!

So last week was the first week of my second year of university. Last week I showed you all about my moving process and now my room; however, this week I'm introducing you to Lindsay.

We met in grade eight. And have been best friends ever since. Even though we have our fair share of rough times we have come through it, standing together.

On September 4th it was Lindsay's 19th birthday. So, I prepared her spaghetti supper and garlic bread.

As a gift I got her - The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks and a iPhone case she wanted. 

We both went home this weekend otherwise there would be more to post. However, this is only the beginning of what we'll see from Lindsay, and hey, I might even let her do a guest post.

We went to one of my favorite places. A froyo place called Menchies! It was so good.

And introducing Lindsay...

My world would not be the same without her! 

Who is the most important in your life?
