I'm Baaaccckkkk

Hello Hello!

The last few weeks I was away and I didn't post - Why?  Because I was here:

Vancouver (and Surrey, Burnaby and White Rock)!

I had to go home for a visit and some serious R & R (read: Shopping).  Plus my Dad was getting remarried, so I guess that was important too. ( What matters is I looked good, more on that in a bit...)







It was just the break I needed, with two days blastin' tunes in the car each way. 


Sometimes, it got epic. 


I truly love driving, I do.  However, I hate driving when people suck at it (other people, not me, I'm awesome).  Let's just say gravel highways, construction zones and semi trucks lead to an irritable Alysha with a Stone Chip in her Windshield, UGH!



The trip went like this:

On the way there:

MOUNTAINS! I'm IN THE MOUNTAINS! YAYYYYYYYY









On the way back:

MOUNTAINS?!?!  WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOUNTAINS?!?!?










For a minute, it was devastating, then I turned on my Adele CD for a good cry...
I like the mountains, OKAY?!? They're PRETTY! 


Eventually I got over it.  Anyways, recently, I've been blogging a lot about getting healthier and working out and what-not, so quick update.  

While on vacation, I still went for my jogs, did some crunches and punches, and even pulled out the skipping rope (You should know, I look absolutely ridiculous skipping and I did this outdoors).  

 
I was also pleasantly surprised when I arrived back in The Pas to see the Boxing Gym I go to had a face lift and new sign!

It's so bright!  It will be my beacon in the snow on my way to work and workout this winter. 






The health thing is working by the way, I feel much better, I have more energy and it is starting to show (according to my Mom anyway!). The reason I actually went to Vancouver this particular week was because of my Dad's wedding (it's weird, I don't even... whatever), but it's all good, because I looked awesome and got to see my family! 
From left to right: my siblings and Me. I know what you're thinking, and YES! I DID dye my hair to match my dress.  Seriously... I'm that neurotic sometimes.
 If you're wondering where the dress is from, it's from a great plus size site - Kiyonna - I totally love it!

All in all, it was a successful trip!  I got to see a lot of my friends and family that I haven't in a while, and it's always nice when you can talk to people's faces instead of just their facebooks.   

My little brother and I were super stoked to see each other or something, because this next pic I leave you with, may be one of the greatest photos of me ever taken.  Thanks for the assist Nikko... 

Who is this? Do I know you?
So that's it.  Back to routine and I'll try to update more!  Thanks for reading!
