Hi! I’m Eden and you’re reading my blog. My blog! This is my first post here and I’ll start with telling you the basic rundown of myself. I decided to start a blog after I realized how much I enjoy writing and how I wanted to share my thoughts with others. I love making others smile and I’m not too concerned about what other people think about me. I’ve been wanting to get started on here for a little while now, and I’m glad I finally found the time. Don’t let my very first bore you, be patient and wait for the more interesting ones! I’ve always enjoyed creative writing and thinking about things in my own type of way. Some of my friends will say I have a very different way of thinking about things and that ‘s definitely true but that makes me me! My blog will showcase different topics and allow you to think with me. Some will be funny and more for entertainment, while others will help you appreciate the things you forget to. The picture below is what I look like!

I grew up as the youngest to my two older brothers Andrew and Nathan, who are both quite a bit older than me. Me and my family spent most of our summers out at camp and the occasional winter day. We recently did major renovations on our camp, and so we’ve been spending every weekend we can there all year round. We got our dog Berry the summer I turned six and my ability to cry on demand came in handy on getting him. We’ve also got two cats that we acquired, but they’re for a whole different post!

As you can see by the picture, I love being active. I also like to try new things. To say the least, skiing usually end up with lots of snow not just on the ground, but on me too. I’ve gotten better though, I promise! I enjoy a large variety of sports and I’ll totally join in for a team game, but there’s high possibility I’ll create the disadvantage. I’ve been a competitive gymnast for several years now, and I’ve met lots of new people along the way and have stayed longer than a lot of my original teammates. I love the thrill of competing and showing off what I can do. Some of my friends would say I have an especially high level of confidence in certain areas.

One thing that I can always remember are family vacations. We love to travel and my mom is a pro at having a budget while also having loads of fun. As someone who lives in a northern climate, not being able to travel south due to the pandemic is a real upset. One of my favourite vacations was a cruise in which I grew a love for sloths after meting Alex the sloth (I sadly cannot find a picture right now).

I can’t forget about my love for food. I love seeing a plate of delicious food calling my name or opening the fridge doors at a friends house. As long as it’s tasty, I’ll eat just about anything! I’m always experimenting with new drinks and trying to replicate my favourite Starbucks ones. My latest creation is an iced vanilla chai tea with cold foam and cinnamon on top!

That’s pretty much it. I’m always down to go out on a hike or adventure or try a new thing. There are so many things I’m excited to talk about, but those will come in future blog posts. I’m fifteen and really just wanting to put a smile on your face! You can expect regular posts from me once to twice a week, and as I grow I will most likely have specific or themed days I post on. You’ll never want to miss a post, so make sure to join my email list with a few simple clicks to be notified! Also be sure to leave feedback or things you want to read about in the comments. I like to hear from new people and see that people read my blog. I can’t wait to go on this new blogging journey!
