Friday Roundup: January 20

Happy Friday! What a week! I am exhausted, I’m blaming it on the weather. It’s so dreary in Vancouver and I haven’t been getting much sleep. I did stay up last night and got my links for today’s Friday Roundup, something I look forward to posting each week.

Wine Preview at the Blue Water Cafe

Monday I attended the Vancouver Wine Festival Preview, that was fun sampling wines. I went to my salsa lesson and worked out everyday this week! Tonight I’m going to a barre class at The Daily Method, so I’ll be spent tonight. No guarantees if I’ll be able to walk tomorrow haha. Rest of our weekend is house stuff, errands, blog work and watching some movies.

Family selfie at Lynn Valley

Last weekend I found my sister her bridesmaid dress. Yay to checking that off the list! Curtis and I drove to Lynn Valley suspension bridge and walked around for a bit with Piper. Then caught the sunset (top picture) from North Vancouver. We also had a nice family dinner at my parents with my aunt and kids.

I’m also excited about the blog this year! I have had a couple of promising emails, some fun projects coming up and just kind feedback from readers. Keeping you guys posted on my wedding is something I’m also looking forward to. Stay tuned starting next week for the start of my wedding series! Yesterday, I ordered our invites, it’s official!

What are your plans for this year? Share below! I want to hear what you guys are up to. Also if you want to see more of something on the blog, let me know too!
