Barnes Battle

Below is my beautiful friend Erin. We have been good friends since 10th grade. At the beginning of this year her husband Shawn got diagnosed with Leukemia. They also found out the same month that they were pregnant with their first child. These 2 are the most amazing people that I know. Erin was always such a good friend to everyone and always such an example to me in high school. These two have been so strong throughout this journey and they continue to stay positive. Read more here about their ongoing battle and how you can help.

Back in June they held a 5K as a fundraiser to help these two. Tyler helped me train and I did it! I have never liked running so this was a huge accomplishment for me. Finishing was an awesome feeling.

Even though I'm not fast, I have kept training and hope to do more 5K's in the future.

Easter in Canada

Back in April we road tripped to Canada with our favorite vacation buddies Jason and Abby. The car ride was long but we enjoyed each other's company. When we pulled over to get a picture of the sign Jason and Tyler were throwing a fit haha. They did not think we needed a picture of the sign and were freaking out for some reason. I will always think of that everytime I see this picture. Don't mind me, we woke up at 3:30 and as you can see I pretty much just rolled out of bed and jumped in the car.


Tyler's family lives in a beautiful area with a little walkway through a park and around this pond.

Tyler's mom prepared an Easter egg hunt and we got lots of yummy candy.

I dyed Easter eggs for my first time ever!

We had a lovely breakfast.

We visited lots of fun places. This is a big Ukranian egg.

This is the Edmonton temple.

All of these pictures were taken in the West Edmonton mall. This place is HUGE.

One of the Campbell's favorite places to eat. So good and so fattening.

It was SO good to see Tyler's parents and sister being apart for 10 months. We are going back up for round 2 in 2 weeks and are so excited!

About time..

My friend helped me figure out how to get more space for free. Now I can finally update :) For the 3 of you that read my blog, you can scroll backwards because there are some posts that weren't there before. Back in February my cute little brother had his 11th birthday.









Taysn had 3 different birthday celebrations. Sunday family party opening presents with grandma and grandpa. Pizzaria with the cousins. His actual birthday with more presents. He is one loved boy.
