Today I did some wedding planning, some studying, and A LOT of cleaning. There are dust bunnies in all the little corners of this apartment and they’re going to be the death of me! I hope you’re not getting tired of these little polly pocket homes yet because I have a few more to get through and share. :)

Managerial Accounting owns my life at the moment. It’s hardly the best thing. I needed a break so I’m posting the “Simple Life” set, now available on Etsy. :) I completely appreciate how different life is in all parts of the world.

And the semester is over. :) Then comes our trip to San Francisco then comes my MBA internship at General Mills then comes our barn wedding. The next 4-5 months is going to be wildly exciting and packed with new experiences and memories. I can’t wait!!!

I’m almost embarrassed to say this but because Chris and I have reached the end of every single show we are genuinely interested in, we didn’t know what else to watch so for fun, we tried out Gossip Girl a few weeks ago and have been hooked in a very guilty way. It’s completely juvenile but has its good moments. It reminds me of Dawson’s Creek. I loved that show back then. In fact, maybe I’ll watch it again! We’re waiting for the new seasons of all the good shows. Until then, we’ll enjoy our guilty pleasure.

Just wanted to pop in here quickly to announce that the Connecting You & Yours contest ends tonight at 11:59PM EST! Be sure to submit your entry here to be entered into the 18th and final draw of the contest! And then head over to my Etsy shop to start picking out your favourite prints in case you’re the lucky winner! :)

I haven’t been able to post as often as I wanted and have been rushing through recent posts because somehow, I’ve managed to get so busy again. Sigh! The semester is coming to an end and everything under the sun is coming due.

Oh also, for those who want to be notified directly of future contest campaigns and promotions, just add your email address to my email list right here! :)

The Connecting You & Yours contest ends in 4 days! Be sure to submit your entry here for at least 1 in 50 chances to win two prints up to an 8×12 at my Etsy shop! :) We’ve reached over 1,800 fans, can you believe it??? I sure can’t but am overwhelmed with joy!!!

I’m also filling in my Pinterest board all over again because I didn’t do it quite right the first time, so here’s a feeble start.

And of course, here’s another jellyfish shot, as promised!

All I have to say about the jellyfish is WOW. I’ve actually never seen one in real life up until now. I’ve only seen them in movies. They had a whole bunch of them at the Ripley’s Aquarium and I was beyond mesmerized. I must have stood behind the glass for 30 minutes, just watching them float and dance around, upside down, inside out. I must have taken 200 pictures, too, because they kept changing. Every single movement was a beautiful transformation and every shot was drastically different from the other. I am now obsessed with the jellyfish. Capturing them in colour would have been phenomenal but most of my pictures were in black and white because the lighting in the aquarium was pretty tough to work with. I’m happy to see that they turned out quite lovely anyway! I’ll post more soon.

Also, happy birthday to the best dad in the world. <3

My mom and I packaging prints with love. Many of these are going out to the first batch of contest winners from the Connecting You & Yours contest. If you haven’t already entered, you should submit your entry here! :) There is roughly two more weeks of the contest left, so there are still prints to be won!

The Ripley’s Aquarium was AMAZING last night. I have a new obsession. The Jellyfish. I’ll share photos soon!!

We’ve officially booked our trip to San Francisco for April after my exams. I’ve been waiting for San Fran photography for quite literally years now. The time has finally come and I feel an urge to squeal! Eeeeep. We’re actually splitting the trip between San Francisco and Napa Valley. Just a quick Google of Napa Valley takes my breath away. I can’t wait!!

Tonight’s a date night with Chris at the Ripley’s Aquarium. I can’t wait for that either. :)
