2017 In Review: Part Four

September 2017

  • I drove my boyfriend’s truck for the second time.
  • We went to visit my boyfriend’s parents at their new cottage in British Columbia, staying very close to an active wild fire. We had to be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

  1. I love the Lego brickheadz. We’ve got a few here and they’re so fun to build! Plus they look much nicer than the bigger Lego sets, so it’s way easier to find a place for them.

    I love the penguin you made! That’s so cute! And the gingerbread house looks awesome!

    Hope you had a lovely Christmas! Happy New Year!

  2. Looks like you’ve had a great year! I really enjoyed going through your months with you 😀

    The Christmas Light Show looks incredible – I wish we had something like that in the UK.

    Happy New Year!

  3. That penguin is absolutely adorable. Love Christmas lights. My favorite part of the Holiday!

    Happy New Year!

  4. I think it looks like you did a lot of things other than play video games or watch You Tube! I love your gingerbread house, and the Sims house! I used to play Sims for a very short time but never became good at it.

  5. That penguin is so cute!

    You’ve done lots over the year! Have a happy new year!

  6. Yay! You did a lot of things! I’m so happy that you were able to achieve a lot in just a year and how amazing year can be for someone. Ouch on the car.

  7. Wow that’s a lot of things that you have done! The christmas light display is really nice too!
