I can't even handle how ridiculously cute Derek is in this photo! It's crazy to think that I have loved him for most of his 20's and that I get to love him for all of his 30's. He truly is the most incredible man and I am so proud to be his wife. We have had adventures all over the world together, he has supported me through absolutely everything and is a huge reason why I get to do what I do, and I am so grateful to him. He is the most patient man I know, he is funny and loving and kind. He's the go-to tech-y guy in the family, but will do just about anything for friends or family when they need a hand. All around, he's just one of the best guys around.

After working in Osborne village for the long weekend street festival for so many years and then out with the trailer, it was time for a break. After almost 10 years of working every single July 1 (and often the day before or after) the time has come to take a breather from the crazy street festival. Don't worry though, we'll be back, we just needed a little break. A tiny part of me is a teensy bit sad because I've made some pretty incredible memories in the past 9 years! I'll miss the dance parties in the street, hotdogs for lunch, bubble tea deliveries, the heatwave that melts through shoes, party cups, run-in's with long lost friends, and seeing ex-boyfriends running down the street dressed as Captain Canada wearing our flag as a cape. To all of our fellow Canadians, we hope you have a fun and safe day partying in the streets, or a relaxing day at the lake or wherever you may be. Now, we're off to wander the streets in the scorching heat, fill our bellies with cotton candy and spend time with friends over BBQ's and drinks! What are your long weekend plans?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Canada Day lovelies!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
