It has been SO effin' long since I wrote a new blog post. I don't know what is wrong with me! Cereally you guys, you shouldn't let me go this long without posting ever again. Welp, life has been weird lately. Had to deal with some unexpected stuff, but I won't bore you with the details of those events. The long and short of it is that I've been able to really assess my life...step back and see what direction I want to go and be positive about it.
Here's some fun stuff though. Me and the gal pals went to Canada! We packed up my tiny little car and made the 15 hour drive (yes we left at 3:00 a.m. and drove straight through!) to the great white north. Here's the summation of the trip according to me..
I hate Idaho.
It's really fun to call Butte Montana, BUTT Montana (I'm sure NO ONE has ever done that before).
The security people at the border are cranky pants!...oh and it takes 20 minutes to get a stamp in your passport so don't ever ask them.
Canada is not labelled well.
Banff National Park is the most BEAUTIFUL place I've ever been.
America needs Poutine...fries with brown gravy and mozzarella chunks. I know it sounds super sick but it's deeeeeeeeee-lish.
There aren't homeless people in downtown Calgary...or if there are, they do a really good job of hiding them. WTF Calgary?! I wanted to see some bums!
4-wheeling is called "quadding". It makes more sense than saying 4-wheeling in my opinion. Good job Canada.
Slurpees from the Sev are a gajillion times better in Canada.
Billionaire Prince, Pregnant Mistress
#14 Calgary Viper Jorge Mejia and I had a moment.
Kim can fall asleep anywhere...including a folding chair in the middle of a kitchen and a boat. (Note the pictures Exhibit 1&2 below)
My car can sleep 4....uncomfortably and inconveniently.
I hate Idaho.
Our trip was truly one of the funnest times in my life. We all got along famously. Oh and on the last day we were there, I deleted ALL of the pictures on my camera. Yes probably 300 pictures or more, gone in a matter of seconds. You'd think after the
FIRST incident of me deleting all of the pictures on my camera that I wouldn't do it again but it happened. Not to fear though, a good friend suggested checking out a local camera shop that did data retrieval and they got close to all of them back. It was the best $15.00 I've ever spent. They were able to get back all of the pictures I had deleted from the first time around too! I looooove technology.
Here are a few pictures from the trip! There's lots so gird your loins.
Bienvenue (I have no idea if I spelled that right and I'm too lazy to Google)

Fields of mustard seeds. They're all over the place!

Moraine Lake...yes, the water is
really that blue. Seriously the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Oh and snaps to Adi for getting us all in this photo!

Canoes!


Lake Louise!

Asian cowboy...Mary was sneakily snapping photos of him. Kim's team!

Adi was feeling a little sick and upchucked in the lake. (ok, not really. It looks like that though, huh?!)

The day we went quadding with Geordie. Our feet got really muddy because....

Kim got the truck stuck : ) It was quite the adventure.


Mud war.
