nothing too much going on i think. just going through. wake up. drop off baby. work. pick up baby. play with baby. feed baby. feed me. put baby to sleep. sleep. repeat next day.
i'm realizing the importance of communication. i've never really been good at it. it wasn't my family's style. not only can you get more things done more efficiently, but people apart from you - whether it be 5 miles or 2000 miles - seem much closer. which is a good thing, because i feel so far from everyone - either not easily accessible or...well i guess thats it. just not easily accessible. its too far to drive or i dont have time or its too late for lily to be out or she's about to go to bed or.....man, do babies change things!
i'm sorry to those friends i've seemingly forgotten about. i miss you. i love you.
side note: the building behind where i work recently changed their flag. i'm glad about this. its a wierd thing to be glad about, but i am. after christmas when the ice storm hit, both of the flags just got ripped apart. each of the stripes was waving on its own! and it stayed that way!!! i think they changed it earlier this week. it looks so much better and it doesn't go against the rules of the US flags.

o canada
This weekend was full of firsts:
vacation in 5 years
got my passport stamped but a country other than usa (europe never stamped….)
flying by myself, let alone to another country
walking to the plane on the tarmac
tim hortons coffee
eating elk
dim sum
home made pulled pork
home made bbq sauce
watched hockey night in canada
watched superbowl in canada (i wanted arizona to win, but it ended up being a good game!!)
longest i’ve been away from lily
finished a james patterson book in 5 hours. (final warning. more of a kid’s book but it was good.)
touring the wx office (which is in a train station)
going to the forks
viewing winnipeg from 60+ feet
going to a catholic church – ukrainian more specifically
attempting to speak ukrainian
went without my phone (really) for 3 days
seeing a plug for a block heater
didn’t get carded when asking for drinks
spending 3 full days with him, practically attached at the hip
felt beautiful because he said i was
and i have also realized that:
everyone in canada skates. (duh) but there are no figure skates. only hockey skates.
elk is absolutely delicious!
canadians do lock their doors
i could spend more time with him. no matter where it is. :)
