Help Wanted

I hate to use the blog to beg... but I need everyone's help on a small task... it would mean the world to us if you could please vote for us in Tourism Tofino's Focus on Family Photo Contest!

Tofino holds a magical spot in our hearts.

We were married on the beach in Tofino surrounded by our closest family and friends.


Any time we need to truly relax and reconnect as a couple, we return to Tofino for some quality family time.



So of course when I saw Tourism Tofino's Focus on Family Photo Contest, I jumped at the chance to enter.



The photo with the most Likes will receive the 'Tofino Family Focus Getaway' including two nights accommodation, a family portrait session with Marnie Recker and much more!

Winning this contest would be the perfect opportunity for us to return to Tofino to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary this spring.

So.... please, please, please, pretty please vote for us!

Eight Years

Eight years ago today we took possession of our house.

At the time we were young (only 22!) and only had one income (I was still 6 months away from completing my engineering degree) but we decided to take a giant leap of faith because Dave was convinced that the only way we would ever be financially secure was buying a house as soon as possible.



Boy was he right!

By time I graduated in May prices had begun to sky rocket. The average house price in Calgary rose $100,000 with a year.




We have come a long way in eight years... the house now barely resembles the house that we purchased... but it still represents one of the best investments we have ever made. Not just financially, but also in terms life and love.

This house has taught us so much. Most importantly that you love something more and more the more love you put into it.

It is truly our home.
