Introductions

Hi!  I'm Reilly and I cry a lot.  In case you didn't put two and two together, that's where the nickname "Crylee" came from.  Now, when I say I cry a lot, I mean it.  A LOT.  I cry when I'm happy; I cry when I'm sad, frustrated, scared.  You name it, I'm probably crying during it.  It's mostly funny though, so don't worry.

As this is my first ever blog post, I'm going to tell you a little bit about my life in a series of words and pictures.

I live with my mum, Tracey.  She's my best friend in the whole wide world.  She's been such an incredible mother to me, both making a living and making a home for us.  I think she's the coolest lady in the universe.

This is me and my mum.  We climbed a mountain on the day this was taken!

I LOVE bunnies.  Love them.  You have no idea.  Unless you know me, then you probably have a pretty good idea of how much I love bunnies.  I had a pet bunny when I was very little, but it ran away in a tragic I-forgot-to-close-the-latch accident.  

My mum brought this stuffed bunny home for me when I was very small.

I love to read.  And drink tea.  Sometimes I even do these things at the same time, which is pretty much my exact definition of bliss.  I would describe myself as an "up and coming loose leaf tea snob".  DAVIDsTEA is my favourite tea store.  Bravissimo is my favourite flavour of their teas.  I have 750g of it to take to England with me!

My current stash of DAVIDsTEAs.

I have two half brothers and a pseudo sister.  Ashton, Brody, and I have the same dad.  Teneal, Ashton, and Brody have the same mum.  (It's confusing, I know).  They mean the world to me and it makes me sad that I don't see them as much as I would like to.

This is my little sister.  She's a year older now though.  Pictures of my brothers will follow eventually, I promise.

Other things I like/love: Roots, Gilmore Girls, American Eagle Outfitters, the Killers, country music, British things (all I want is to be British), Fossil, clothes, shopping, singing (though I can't carry a tune in a bucket).

For the past six years (summers only), I've worked at Camp Evergreen.  It is the most fantastic place.  It truly is a huge part of who I am today.  I've just finished up my first year working on the program team, and I think it went quite well!  You can check out what they're up to at the Green Spot: http://camp-evergreen.blogspot.ca/.
