Capilano Suspension Bridge – Vancouver VLOG Part 2

Ever get so scared on a bridge that you’re willing to run into people while you run to get off of it? Well I did.

If you didn’t already know I’m afraid of heights. Funny, I used to never be when I was younger. I would climb trees, climb rock walls while on a cruise ship, I actually enjoyed heights. But I took a turn when I visited Yosemite National Park and took a full day hike up to the the upper Yosemite Falls and something in me clicked as I went to the edge of the waterfall. Turns out that I did not enjoy being up that high. And ever since I have been a scared little girl when it comes to heights.

My Resolution Reading Roundup 2017 Edition

Every year I make a resolution to read more and more books all the time. It all started when I first picked up that Mary-Kate and Ashley Passport to Paris mini-book that came with my MK Snowboarding barbie doll, I was honestly hooked. Funny (and cooler) thing was that when I finished the mini-book I just so happened to be in an airport. I guess my two passions collided in that one moment, it’s pretty wonderful if I must say so myself.

Unfortunately as I got older and life, friends, boys, parties, whatever got in the way, I stopped reading for the pleasure of reading and started to not even pick up books that I enjoyed reading. Granted when high school and college came along I had to read textbooks instead of novels. So truly I did not want to read those.

Since I haven’t opened up a textbook in years (that partially including my college years), I figured it was time to get my butt back into gear and start reading for fun again. For the fun of getting lost in a new world and falling in love with characters. And crying when one of them dies or gets heartbroken. I love how books can throw me into a new adventure whenever I pick one up.
