Now *THAT’S* what you call a HOEDOWN!

Ashley and Randy are the rootin-est/tootin-est cowpokes this side of The Fraser River, and this weekend, they got hitched!
We two-stepped, laughed, got temporary tattoos, shared stories and tears of happiness. What a night. Wishing you the very best, always! ❤️

A shout out to my brother in law!
For agreeing to a hike with me in a foreign country, with over 1,000m of elevation and with a scramble to the summit. It was nice watching the clouds roll in as we reached the top🤪🤣
.
James is an excellent hiking partner. He never complained once. Even when I realized that I’d unconsciously picked the hardest route, and that we’d done it backwards 🤣 #Whoops!
.
Love ya, Jimmy! Looking forward to our next 1,000m+ summit! ⛰️
.
Oh - and for anyone who thinks he looks an awful lot like @drsweetpea - they’re identical twin brothers 😉

It’s been two weeks since we came home from our Europe trip. But to be honest, my mind hasn’t fully returned 🤪
.
Every day of our trip was new. New people, new food, new landscapes. And it’s as though my brain is still in that state. It flits between tasks, constantly searching for the unfamiliar. I’m finding it hard to concentrate.
.
On one of the last days of our trip, after almost three weeks of time with family, I had the rare opportunity to spend the day alone. I hiked a 14km section of the famous West Highland Way - from Kingshouse to Kinlochlevan.
.
Dr. Sweetpea walked me to the trailhead, I started hiking, and it started pouring. And pouring. Classic Scottish weather 🌧️
.
I was prepared (and almost cozy) in my rain pants and jacket. I put on my ball cap and hood to redirect the rain out of my eyes.
.
As I hiked along the highway, the “Wee White House” came into view. The house is actually called the Lagangarbh Hut, and is currently used by the Scottish Mountaineering Club for hikers and mountaineers exploring the Glencoe Highlands.
.
The hut was practically glowing through the grey rain as it sat beneath the misty Buachaille Etive Mor.
.
As I turned to climb The Devil’s Staircase, I would occasionally turn back to view the hut from increasingly higher elevations.
The rain let up enough that I could take my camera out of my pack without completely destroying it, and I snapped a few shots.
.
A mountain, a girl and her camera. My favourite.

F45 Fridays!
These classes always make you sweat 💪🏻
April and Dom are incredible coaches - always making sure we’ve got the right form, adding weight (when they know we can handle it!), and cheering us on!
Thanks Team - it feels great to be back!

During our trip to Denmark this summer, we were lucky to reconnect with family we hadn’t seen in almost two decades (how I’m old enough to say stuff like that is beyond me😆).
.
One of my favourite memories from our last trip to Denmark, when I was 16 years old, was of our cousin Anja, taking myself and my younger brother Eric out to the disco. We met Anja’s friends, we got to drink beer(!), and it was one of the absolute highlights of our young lives!!
.
This trip, we were so thankful to see Anja again and meet her amazing boys ❤️ It was an instant renewal of friendship. She is just as beautiful and wonderful as ever.
.
Here are a few snaps from our sweet - but entirely too short - time together. I’m already looking forward to our next disco getaway! 🪩 💃

What a show! Watching the sun set from a mountaintop, while dancing to live music is one of the most epic things you can do in Squamish. Highly recommend!
