Hey @bryanbaeumler, remember that time you nailed my tool belt to a 6x6 post a million times? Welp, I found your tool belt laying around @caerulamar and it’s now...mine ♀️ oh and don’t worry, we’ve been hard at work while you’ve been away •

Dave and I recently celebrated our four year anniversary. When you really think about it, it’s astounding how fast time flies. How has it already been four years!? Why do days and years seem to fly by in mere moments yet sometimes an afternoon seems to last a lifetime? I’ve always tried to take mental notes of extra special moments in my life, but I guess when it comes down to it, every moment is special. That’s why I enjoyed getting dressed up and really appreciated our special day •

Throwback Thursday to my SECOND (very seriously) broken leg. Not many people know that I have TWO metal rods in my legs, one from spiral fracturing my femur (big ouch - you know it’s bad when the paramedic cries ) and one from a snowmobiling accident where I compound fractured my tibia and fibula (pictured here). I broke my legs back to back years, so basically I couldn’t walk for TWO years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For someone that’s active and always on the go, it was excruciating in more ways than one BUT it also made me even more resilient, it made me strong and it made me appreciate what I did and still do have. I was lucky. Those metal legs are stronger now because of my hardships. I walk proud and tall and always try to look for the silver lining even in the face of the most devastating loss.
I hope today, no matter what you’re going through, you remember there’s always light after the dark. The pain, failures or hardships you encounter in your life are lessons if you let them be. Allow them to make you a better, stronger more resilient and loving person because we need more people like that.
Sending love and big thumbs up out to you all today.
I miss you every second of every day, Dad. I’m slowly starting to find my legs again but there will always be a huge part of me missing. I love you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

One of my favourite places to be is on or near the water. I feel at peace, I feel calm and my heart feels a little less heavy listening to the waves crash on the shore. Put a fishing rod in my hands and give me a beach and you’ll see a happy girl. The best fishing experience I’ve ever had, hands down, was in the Bahamas at @caerulamar - I cannot wait to back anyone catch tonight’s episode of Island of Bryan?! •

Can you tell that @daveycbuilds and I are excited to be working with @royalbuildingproducts on the Sandlot using their Celect Cellular PVC siding in Wrought Iron?! It’s such a beautiful colour and it’s been a breeze to install. We’ll be doing lots of updates as this project comes together. Happy Tuesday everyone!
