"Enjoy it. Because it's happening"
This picture was taken when I went whale watching in the bay of fundy. I  am really please with how this picture turned out! 

Summer of 2012 my family and I took a long road trip to Nova Scotia, for my cousins wedding and to go to our cottage. Nova Scotia is one of my favourite places on earth, and this was my second time going back after 6 years, when I first flew there by myself.  

My cousin Loan and her husband Sean have known each other for the longest time. They first met in high school and after many years after they both graduated and moved in together, he proposed to her. The wedding was successful, and I felt more connected to family  than ever because there were a lot of relatives there. My favourite part of the wedding was seeing the newly wedded couple together and seeing their love towards each other. 

After the wedding and staying at the our cottage for over a week, we headed to a small town in Nova Scotia where my aunt and uncle lived. They own a book store, which is incredible, even though I don't enjoy reading novels of any sort, I still admired the book store.  The day after, my mom and I went for a walk around the small town. We both grew to really love this place because when my mom first came here to Canada at the age of 16, she lived in this town, which she now refers to as her hometown in Canada. The first time I came here, I remember how I thought it was amazing how everyone knew each other and was so kind. I gained many memories here and learned so much that I will never forget, along with the great people I met, that I still keep in contact with.
