Turning 23 was a milestone for me. It was the year I graduated from University and the start of a career, but not before doing a bit of travelling ;).
It started with running the Vancouver Marathon which taught me alot about patience and not being TOO intense TOO early.
I then flew to Hawaii where I was TOO intense! An unfortunate surfing accident left me with 9 stiches across my face and 'ruined' the rest of my trip. I was still able to see the entire island of Oahu but I feel the need to travel to Hawaii again.
After that was the Sylvan Lake camp (which is where i'm head this year as well) where I tried to run when i should have been resting from the marathon. This left me with IT band problems all year.
A few weddings (not mine, but I took photos at these weddings) later I was enjoying Sydney (olympic sights, surfing, the zoo and roti!), Brisbane (chilling out drinking bubble tea almost every day), Cairns (SCUBA DIVING, gorgeous sun, and cold water), and New Zealand (Tauranga volcano climbs, rain, hot springs, bungee jumping and visiting my buddy Stefan).
Work started in September and I was placed in Calgary for 6 months before moving to Firebag (north of fort mcmurray) where I'll spend the next few years learning and gaining valuable experience.
So! Twenty Four. I have a few goals this year which I won't verbalize, otherwise i'm accountable to those goals :). I tend to look forward to the future instead of enjoying the 'now'. I want to take the time to enjoy each moment while looking ahead to 2012, the next major milestone that I've created for myself.
