Here we are in Jasper, visiting my aunt and uncle and cousins here. The young one is my cousin's kid, Hannah - she is adorable. We've had a beautiful day, Canyon Crawling, and enjoying the beautiful sites of Jasper Alberta.
sorry ariana! it would have been great to see you before you went off galivanting around the world! It was a struggle, but finally Jasper won over Calgary as Leigh had never been here before. Hope all the planning and packing is going really well Thinking of you...
Ah well, such is life. Everything is going swimmingly... I still can't believe I'm finally taking this trip that I have wanted to take my whole life. I don't think it's going to sink in until I'm on the plane!! (If then!)
Yesterday at our staff pinawa conference, Leigh went to enjoy a natural waterslide in an activity time, and lost his wedding band. It was in the middle of the rapids so it's not likely to be seen again. He had tried to take it off before getting in the water, but wasn't able to. I am sad. Good thing the ring is just a symbol. But we are so close to our 1 year anniversary...
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
