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. :)
