This time last year we were planning our biggest trip together yet: a month in China and Japan! 🇨🇳🇯🇵 It was one of the most exhilarating trips we’ve ever done as a couple! Right about now, we would’ve been finalizing our three week trip in Europe for the fall but sadly, had to cancel our plans due to the risks associated with plane travel. Did you have any travel plans this year that you couldn’t follow through with? Did you end up doing something completely different, maybe seeing more of your own country?

It’s moments like these when I’m like... man!

It’s moments like these when I’m like... man! None of this was placed here by mistake. None of these wonders just came to be out of thin air. This was all created by a creator, the ultimate Creator. The One who created the infinite stars and galaxies, and yet still knows my name. He knows MY name! And YOUR name! And He loves you to no end that He sent His only Son to die for you. And everything points towards Him. Your life and your will is living, breathing proof that you did not come to be because of random occurrences. SCIENCE points towards Him. The further we advance as humans, the closer we get to knowing what God has created for us. I hope that each and every one of you will one day find your purpose and fulfill it ♥️

Me trying to juggle my career, my side hustle, my relationships, errands, self-care, exercise, health updates, reading time, time with God and getting nothing done 😅 Can anyone relate? Sometimes I fill my head with all the things I WANT and NEED to get done and then don’t actually get anything done! 😟 The one thing I do have for you though is my FREE Lightroom presets!! They’re available for download when you click on the “Download My Free Preset Bundle!” link in my bio links page. Swipe to see some of my one-click edits! 🥰📸 Photo by @jasonmengvisuals en route to Sheep River Falls

I thought 25 was going to my year 😂 Well in man

I thought 25 was going to my year 😂 Well in many ways it has!!! Despite everything that’s been going on, I’d say this has been my best year yet (glass half full, right?). I’m so excited for this year ahead and can’t wait to celebrate my birthday 🎉 with my closest friends!!! 🎂 Any other July babies out there? 😋💗

All right, I FINALLY added East End of Rundle (EEOR) to my list of top hikes (check out my Top Hikes Near Calgary link in bio!). This was definitely one of the toughest I’ve done - I’m kind of a wimp - and was pretty much straight scrambling. Jason got some MAD farmer’s tan after it 😂 It was bad! My ears turned bright red too and a week later, peeled like no tomorrow! Lesson learned: bring sunscreen 🧴 We didn’t realize this hike would be so exposed to the sun! And it was crazy strong that day 🌞 Would you hike EEOR even with all the scrambling? 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

It’s crazy how much social media can really blow up something! A few years ago, Moraine Lake was easy to access, even on a weekend afternoon. Now we are struggling to find a parking spot at 6am and the road up from Lake Louise is completely closed by then!
Absolutely bonkers. But I can definitely understand the hype. It’s one of the places that I feel God’s powerful presence the most! Would you wake up at 3:30am to get this view??

I’m obsessed with this view and would LOVE to get more views like this in Spray Lakes/Kananaskis area! As I was looking for new spots, I came across a hike called Mount Indefatigable trail, and I was so sad to find out it closed and decommissioned 😞 But it is for the grizzlies! 🐻 This view is of Spray Lakes Reversoir at the top of West Wind Pass! If you want to learn more about this hike, check out my Top Hikes Near Calgary blog post, which you’ll find a link to in my bio!! Anyone going out of town this weekend? What will be up to? 📸 @jasonmengvisuals
