Golden Globes

For those of you who have been following my blog or know me personally you would know that we just went through a big move at the end of October. We moved half way across Canada, from Cape Breton back to Manitoba. I wasn't to keen on the idea of moving back as I am absolutely in love with Cape Breton. Well CTV just announced that the Golden Globes are giving their guests a 3 day VIP trip to Cape Breton! Wha Wha Wha?!?! Obviously any well known celeb could afford a trip anywhere in the world themselves, but there is a teeny tiny chance at least a couple of them will take up the offer. I could have been doing some major celeb creeping since CB isn't all that big.  DANG! Maybe next year they will offer a 3 day VIP trip to Manitoba?

For all of you celebs reading my blog, I would have creeped on you so hard! What a shame. I hope you enjoy my most favourite place in the world.
 

Warren Lake

I was chilling out at this lake the day before I gave birth to little Willow!

 And  2 weeks after!

Warren Lake was one of our hang outs this summer. The water gets nice and warm and the scenery is gorgeous. But in the fall it becomes a Canadian paradise! Definitely our favorite place to take a book and a coffee and relax. I am trying to relax as much as possible before the big move. Tomorrow the packers come in and than the movers come Friday. Pretty sweet that we don't have to pack a thing except for clothes and necessities to get us by until our stuff arrives at the new house. Takes a lot of stress off! The only thing I am dreading is flying with two dogs, a cat, and a babe. Well I am not really to concerned with Willow, if she is in my lap cuddled in and fed she is golden. I am just thinking of that darn cat,Timbit. We have a 5 hour drive and then a 7-8 hour travel day by plane. I am not sure how in the world he is going to use the bathroom. Oooh and they are going to be traumatized from being underneath the plane, poor things.

 I am also thinking about how much I am going to miss it here in Cape Breton. It's almost like the island is trying to pull me in by showing me the greatest summer and fall ever. I am happy we got out and did some many hikes and hung out at so many beautiful beaches, we really made good use of our time here.

Willow is a Warren Lake regular and she still lights up when I tell her we are going there.

can you even handle those chins? aah what a cute little chubber

It's a dogs paradise too!

Willow finds it very relaxing

Extended Fall

We are pretty lucky that we have had an extended fall. All of our seasons in Nova Scotia are behind the rest of Canada's. So when we left for Quebec everything was still very green here, while New Brunswick and Quebec were at their absolute peak. Driving back to Nova Scotia the colours were slowly starting to peak and then when we hit Cape Breton it was still pretty green. Well right now we are at our peak! I honestly can tell you I have never seen such beautiful scenery as I have this fall in Cape Breton. The mountains all look like a fierce roaring fire has taken ablaze. The reds, oranges, yellows, & bright greens excite me beyond belief. I highly recommend each and everyone of you to take a trip to Cape Breton Island this time of year. I have been trying my best to capture the beauty to share with you all but my pictures just don't do it justice.

 We did The Cabot Trail the other day for my 22nd time :p and I ended up giving up trying to capture the beauty. You must enjoy their beauty with the naked eye to really enjoy the landscape.

A quick little feed on the dock

This babe has been burped by her dad all over the island lol

On the way back home we came across a cow and a calf on the side of the road. The cow went to go walk back into the woods but the calf panicked and started running right in the middle of the road. The cow ran onto the road to run beside her babe so J put on his hazards and honked the horn for a couple of minutes to get them off. The momma wouldn't leave her babes side, it was too sweet. We didn't leave until they were well into the woods as we didn't want a car to come up and hit them. It isn't the smartest to travel at night for this reason but we are always very cautious and drive well below the speed limit and our eyes peeled to the road :)

 I didn't take the greatest shots as I was enjoying the cuteness

Beaching

We had the entire beach to ourselves

So J & I are going to be spending the summer here on Cape Breton Island with our little newborn!!! Yay for us, but sad for family and friends back home who won't get to see the little gaffer as often as they would like. But believe you me there will be pictures and videos galore and many many skype dates. Unfortunately our housing situation in Manitoba is a no go until at least fall. I can't wait for it to warm up so I can spend everyday lounging at the beach. Yes, I go for my beach walks everyday, but it's not warm enough to spend the entire day lounging there.

The other day it was pretty windy in my little village so I was going to just stick around here. I was bummed because I had it in my head I was going to go to my fave beach. I thought screw it, I will just bundle up and give it a go. I drove the 40 minute drive and when I got there I was pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous it was out. I stripped down and spent a good 5 hours playing with my dogs and relaxing. I kept imagining J, our newborn, and the dogs living in our own little utopia.

It's crazy what a curve ball life has taken me on. I am totally loving the ride. But seriously, me, Jenna, a housewife and soon to be mom loving life in the middle of nowhere. Who woulda thunk it? Not me!!

Here are some pics of my fab day with my doggies. I ended up coming home to a crab feast. My neighbours caught and cooked me up some fresh crab legs and boy oh boy were they delish! Wish J was here to have enjoyed them with me.
