Philosophy

Five years.

“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.” – Carl Sagan

In the first few weeks of grade nine, I couldn’t help but notice the cute guy whose locker was directly across from mine. Eventually I would venture to the music room during lunch to see him play guitar with his friends. Soon enough we too became friends and were even in a band together. But there was something else between us, something special. My mother told me best friends make the best partners, and she was completely right. Fast forward to now, and that cute guitar player is my husband and today we are celebrating five years of marriage. We’ve been through a lot together, and every moment has made our relationship and love for each other stronger. Every year since we were married, we have made it a tradition to travel on our anniversary. From Amsterdam, to Berlin, Bologna, to Hvar, we mark this occasion by celebrating us and the love we have for each other. Marriage, like travelling, is full of adventures, and I look forward to all the ones we will share on this journey together.

Happy 5 years, Brandon! I love you SO MUCH!

“Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.” – William S. Burroughs

Ah, summer vacation. It’s the best time to relax, unwind, travel, and plan ahead for the upcoming school year. After some incredibly hot days in my non-air conditioned classroom, it feels good to just enjoy the summer without the thought of melting to death. So what exactly are my plans for July and August? First and foremost, my husband and I will be celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary by travelling to Portugal for a little over two weeks. When we come back home, we will be spending sometime with family and friends. As I previously mentioned, I’ll also be doing some lesson planning as I have a new course I’ll be teaching in September. The summer months are really a time for me to self reflect and enjoy my life, and I’m so grateful that I’m able to do so.
