School, School and more School

Since January I have been taking Fashion Styling and Coordination at Ryerson University. The two night classes I am taking have been great and I am definitely in my element. I have to say, there has been a ton of work and missed classes due to vacations doesn’t help) but I am not complaining. For my third assignment I had to style myself for a historical makeover and I chose the 1960’s. Jackie Kennedy/Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast at Tiffany’s) is what I was aiming for. It was lots of fun and I have to say my neighbour Mark was instrumental in bringing out the model in me. So thank you Mark.

FLA with the Bracco Family

We have been kind of busy and have neglected the site for a couple of weeks.  Jonathan and I were in Orlando visiting the family February 2-10 (the 9th for me), Jonathan got an extra day in paradise.  We had a great time, and great weather (the 2nd half of the week).  We went to the beach, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and of course the outlet malls.  The Bracco’s were gracious hosts and I can definitely recommend a stay with Sherril and Frank anytime :)  

Coming home to reality was quite a shock to the system with the lovely weather in Toronto, but Jonathan and I will be heading off to Mexico for our honeymoon on Tuesday.  I am heading down to NYC tomorrow for the weekend so we can fly together from there.

Check back for photos soon.

Application Approved!

It’s hard to believe almost a month has passed between updates on the blog.  Lesley and I had an amazing time in Florida.  Aunt Sherril, Uncle Frank, and Charles, Tracey, and Anthony were amazing hosts!  We had such a great time there and are already thinking about our next trip down.  Uncle Frank renewed my palate for good wine and we were spoiled with excellent food throughout the week.  Across the highway from Walt Disney World is a premium outlet and needless to say, Lesley and I stopped there a couple of times.

Next week Lesley and I will be heading to Puerto Vallarta for one night, then taking a boat to Verana for our belated honeymoon.  We are very excited about the trip and look forward to a week in Mexico with fantastic weather.

In other news, I received a letter from the Canadian Consulate in NYC yesterday.  I was found eligible to immigrate to Canada under the spousal sponsorship!  They also requested a document be updated and I brought it into the office today.  Upon our return from Mexico, I will be bringing my passport to the NYC office and a week later will have my permanent resident stamp!  The timing will be great because the very next day, I plan on “landing” at Pearson Airport in Toronto where my permanent residency will be made official!

This will be a very exciting, yet busy, couple of weeks.

Stay tuned for more updates on Lesley’s fashion shoot in NYC, my birthday, and our trip to Mexico.
