365 Day Project - Week 40

Wow is it ever hot!! We are into spring here and I can officially say I'm not a hot weather girl. Here are done ways we have been keeping cool. Enjoy!

A few clouds...

This week was a fairly uneventful one. We applied for W's Canadian tourist visa so we can hopefully come to Canada for Christmas. Cross your fingers and your toes for us! Here are a few photos from this week. Enjoy!

365 Day Project - Weeks 33-38 The Lost Weeks

I have returned! Yes I am still alive and well down here in the Southern Hemisphere. I will not attempt to excuse my absence other than to say that we are still desperately in search of a place to live and it has become a mission/second job for both W and I. It has consumed all of our free time and our sanity and at the moment we are still looking. Brazil is complicated....let's just say that :) Meanwhile keep your fingers crossed for us and enjoy some pictures from my lost weeks!

I am officially Brazilian now with my bi-monthly manicure...

365 Day Project - Week 31 & 32

Well here is another double edition for you! After all of the chaos with moving, traveling and starting a new job, we are definitely a bit more settled now. W is working a lot and really enjoying his new job. Now we are just on the hunt for the perfect place to live! Here are a few shots from around Belo Horizonte.

I like all of the colours everywhere....

365 Day Project - Week 30

Wow, I can't believe that I'm already halfway through my project. Our first week together in Belo Horizonte was great! I started at my new school (which I love!) and I've even learned how to use the bus on my own. W also got a new job which he is excited about so I am really happy for him as well. Here are a few photos from my first week here.

So excited to have this on my uniform...

365 Day Project - Week 28 & 29 The Canada Edition

I was lucky enough to spend my two week holiday back home in Canada. It was such a relaxing holiday and I was able to catch up with so many people that I hadn't seen in such a long time. Here is a quick snapshot of my lovely vacation. Enjoy!

Girl's Reunion!

365 Day Project - Weeks 26 and 27

This majorly delayed blog post is another double feature. The last few weeks have been absolute chaos around our house. I finished working at my current school with a lot of tears (!) while packing up our entire apartment (again...). We also celebrated our six month wedding anniversary and I can't believe it came up so fast. After this, I left poor W at home to move all of our stuff from Vitoria to Belo Horizonte while I hopped on a plane (or four....) to take my much-awaited trip to Canada! So here I am now enjoying my time with my family and also looking forward to starting our new adventure in Belo Horizonte. I am going to take a little break from the blog to enjoy my time at home, but I will be back with another double feature CANADA STYLE to share with you in a couple weeks.
