       Hey guys! 👋🏻 
Sorry for the mini hiatus ☺️ Got quite busy these past few weeks and I’m not the best at dividing my attention 😝  This past Tuesday, our government announced that we are back in stage 1 of our reopening process. That means we took three giant steps back 😔 This is the third lockdown and it just feels like major déjà vu and not in a good way.  I feel for everyone who’s gotten sick and everyone who’s taking care of them right now. The burden is heavy on them right now and they need our prayers more than ever.  Do you think that once the vaccine rolls out to everyone that things will only get better from there? What are your thoughts? I hope that it certainly is a step in the right direction. But I’m not sure what to think anymore since we’ve tried so many remedies and they haven’t helped the situation. Trying to be hopeful here but it’s hard not to be a realist either.  📸 @jasonmengvisuals

      What’s a seasonal activity you love doing, in wi What’s a seasonal activity you love doing, in winter or summer?  Whelp, the outdoor skating season is coming to an end 🥺 It wasn’t perfect, it got extremely cold and tiring most days and the ice was far from what I was used to. But it wasn’t just about the perfect skate and pristine great conditions. It was time I got to spend with my boo, throughout a season I thought I enjoyed the least. With every plan that didn’t happen, I wasn’t as disappointed because we got more days like this. The treasure hunt for skate-able lakes was an adventure in and of itself and it gave us a whole new pursuit when we thought our explorations were halted to a complete stop.  I wouldn’t take this year back for anything in the world.  There is so much joy amidst our struggles, we just gotta find it.  📸 @jasonmengvisuals

      Saying goodbye to our winter whites 🥺  I never Saying goodbye to our winter whites 🥺  I never thought I’d miss winter this much! Yes the cold was unbearable for a few weeks there, yes road conditions suck and I’m looking forward to my favourite spots opening up to vehicles again, but can I not still be wildly in love with our winters?  But honestly, who knows, we’ll probably see snow in June knowing our climate here in Alberta 😅  How is everyone dealing with Daylight Savings right now? 🥱 or 🤓?  📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Or are you getting impatient for summer? 😆  Jason and I have always wanted to do the Banff Gondola in the winter so that might be on schedule for his birthday weekend, weather dependent of course.  Hopefully we can find something fun to do to celebrate! Any other March babies here?  📸 @jasonmengvisuals

      What’s the coolest thing you’ve done or seen t What’s the coolest thing you’ve done or seen this winter?  The great thing about this lake is that it NEVER gets enough snow on the ice because of how windy and open the area is! But the giant methane bubbles captured in the ice take our breath away!  Keeping me warm on this windy day were my All-Weather Denim @duerperformance 👖🤗 I wouldn’t have lasted more than a few seconds sitting on this smooth ice with my leggings. But with these bad boys, none of the cold water seeped into my pants to freeze my bottom!  📸 @jasonmengvisuals

      “I am looking at ze moon, looking at ze moon, 15 “I am looking at ze moon, looking at ze moon, 15 seconds has gone by!” Anyone wanna take a guess as to which movie that’s from? 😆🌖  This was by far my favourite lake skating experience ever 🥲 I realized this year, after venturing to different spots to skate on, how rare it is to get the perfect conditions. This time was it!  Sometimes you come across in life the best conditions/timing to achieve what you hope to achieve. Grasp this opportunity, take advantage of it, don’t let it slip through your fingers! We don’t realize what we’ve missed out on until it’s too late.  📸 @jasonmengvisuals
