Sister Adventures

Saturday morning, Sister & I woke up and decided to go on adventure. Ready to see the details? Here we go. First, get bundled up to walk to the bus stop in -12 degree Celsius weather.

Winter shot.

Posers at a bus stop.

Art at a bus stop.

Destination #1.

Our mission???? LES MISERABLES ON DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More posing.

Of course, no adventure is complete without a trip to Starbucks.

We interrupt this adventure post to say that at this point Theresa from McMurray Musings came up to me to introduce herself and talking blogging. So awesome to meet this inspirational woman in real life. I was little bit starstruck. Anyways, everyone go check out her blog before finishing the adventure.

Waiting for coffee & being silly.

Someone doesn't know how to spell Sister's name.

The adventure ended with a wonderful morning full of beautiful, haunting melodies!

Thanks for a great adventure, sis!

Friday's Letters

Dear Nursing: You are crazy and intense and challenging and weird. I like it :) Dear Winter Storm: Everyone just stay home. A 60 car pile-up is enough. Dear White Chocolate Raspberry Mocha: You are my new favourite drink. I am now adopting you and calling you mine. Yum. Dear C & C: One year ago I was celebrating your wedding, and now I am celebrating the birth of your beautiful baby girl. Congratulations. Dear Mexican Bulldog {second beverage letter}: I can't actually finish one of you. Such a lightweight. Dear Sister: I love getting up early with you and visiting. Dear Alicia Keys: "This Girl Is On Fire" is my new life theme song. Heck yes!

Happy Friday!

The Little "+"s

Kudos to K & R for this idea.

+ Two shifts on Surgery this week. Smiling like an idiot, because it's what I'm supposed to be doing.

+ New standalone Starbucks.

+ Sleeping in this morning.

+ Late night cuddles & laughs with the siblings.

+ Going to watch Oz The Great And Powerful with Sister. Realizing it's a kid's movie.

+ Sunny weather and spring.

+ Hanging out with 1st & 2nd & 3rd year nursing students. Unite!

+ Dressing up for a banquet.

+ Fun lifeguarding shifts.

Life has so many pluses. Why focus on the negatives???

Walking on Water

Brother, Sister, and I walked across the frozen river on New Years Eve. It was so much fun and so gorgeous, and only one of us was scared {no telling who}.

Happy Friday!

I Dreamed A Dream

I have talked ad nauseam about Sister on this blog {blogger's privileges}. At the beginning of October, she took off for a crazy two month adventure in the amazon to help pastors learn more about the Bible. So proud.

You know what else I've obsessed over??? LES MISERABLES . . . which is premiering on December 25th.

So before Sister left, she recorded a guitar cover of "I Dreamed A Dream", a solo sung by the character Fantine in the musical. She dedicated it to me, which touched my heart so much. So I decided to record the same song on the piano {this is a first for A Silver Snapshot}.

Here is my piano cover of "I Dreamed A Dream" for my Sister. Love you!

Here's the official trailer!!!

Little Letters

Fort McMurray is the prettiest in the fall. I'm in love with the changing trees.

I was going to link up with Emily from The Freckled Fox for her "Little Letters", but I don't think she's having that linky party today. Either way, kudos to her for the idea!

UPDATE: Linky party was on Thursday. Whups, my bad!

Dear September: Where did you go? First semester is almost halfway over...
Dear Once Upon A Time: You were everything I hoped and nothing like I expected. Best episode yet!
Dear J. K. Rowling Book: You are a grave disappointment. Expect a full blogpost book review soon.
Dear Final Exam: You are NEXT WEEK!?!?! Um, what!?!?! Surrender flag being raised now.
Dear Sister: Happy travels as you're off to the Amazon. Love you.
Dear New Taylor Swift Songs Begin Again and Red: Love, love, love. I am so excited for October 22nd!
Dear Halloween: I am getting excited for costumes and the party I'm hosting :) Gotta love dressing up.
Dear Music Covers: ~~Occasionally~~ ~~Sometimes~~ Most of the time, I like you better than original music. Whups.
Dear Thanksgiving: I hope you are filled in an incessant amount of turkey, pumpkin pie, football, friends, and laughter {oh, and of course, studying}.

Happy Wednesday!

She's Going To The Amazon

My sister, Crystal.

She's going with YWAM Montana on the Titus Project to Columbia.

She's leaving in 8 days.

Wow.

She'll never know how proud I am of her.

She'll never know how so very alive and accepted she makes me feel.

She'll never know the impact.

Last night, she posted a video of her cover of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables on guitar.
She posted it, because it's our thing.

I love her.

You Go Talk To Your Friends, Talk To My Friends, Talk To Me

So just in case you haven't heard yet . . . our girl, Taylor Swift, has released a new single!

Downloading process...

It may or may not have been on repeat on my iTunes for the last week....

Last August, I got the opportunity to go see Taylor Swift in concert in Edmonton with Sister. Here are some pics.

Getting excited going into Rexall Place

Me & Sissy posing

Here is a video medley I made of the night.

And finally, here is the new single!

I'm kind a Taylor Swift fan . . .

Full House

Disclaimer: The title makes me want to break out into "Our house/In the middle of the street". Or maybe that's just the Olympics Closing Ceremonies talking.

Here is what's been happening around our place lately, and it all started when Bella & Sister came to town.

Sister & Me, moments after she got in!
