Wedding in the middle

Last weekend between all of the Festival of Fear craziness Gary and I had the pleasure of attending the wedding of our friends Sue and Jeff. Sue is part of a very talented and amazing group of people that Gary met in college that have kept a close friendship more than a decade later. I will fully admit that one of the reasons I fell so madly in love with Gary was the fact that he had such a kind group of friends. Your friends say a lot about you and when I met everyone I felt completely at...

The castle lights have grown dim…

Another Festival of Fear is behind us…at least for another year. The month of August was pretty jammed for me as I was working on Gary’s freelance life. We launched a new site, set up an inventory system and did a lot of last minute running around for various sundries. The culmination of all of this prep work was for Rue Morgue’s Festival of Fear at the FanExpo here in Toronto. Three days of smiling, chatting, shaking hands and exchanging hugs has left with with a bit of the...

Turning 35 is not so bad

This first outfit is what I decided to wear on my 35th birthday kicking around Amsterdam with the man I love. Which was the perfect way to celebrate a significant milestone for me.

Normally I would be in a quiet...

Remembering those Summer Nights

Hi! Remember me? It always amazes me how much time can pass between my updates when I really do think about this space almost every day. It is just that these last 4 months or so I have been working on an exciting side project with my very talented husband. Once the site I created goes live, I will be sure to share about it here. But until then, I finally have a few spare moments to myself and I decided to post a picture of an outfit I wore back when the days were hot and the nights were...

Family, friends & acceptance

This weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with my mother and sisters. I knew it was going to be heavy on the sister/mother/daughter bonding moments so it was probably best that Gary went to Montreal for Fantasia and a heavy metal concert with some friends. My husband loves my family, but when the four of us get together it can be pretty intense. There is always a lot of laughter, talking over each other, teasing, bickering and hugging. I love every moment of it because my family...
