so my last few posts have been planted to keep everyone thinking that we were still leaving for MB on Saturday, but REALLY phil switched his friday shift to wednesday so we left early Thursday morning! We stayed at Joel & Lindsey's for night (fun times) and then surprised everyone Friday night! well not everyone, phil's parents knew we were coming cuz we were staying with them and a few other people. It's nice to be back home, i really like it here :)

About our trip: there are somewhere around 300 forest fires burning around Kamloops so we had smoke from before then until after Regina sometime!! it's crazy! There is also a TON of construction going on; phil said something about the government promising funding during the hard economic times, and now they've given them a time limit to complete the projects or the money's gone. so we added at least an hour to our travel time on Thursday, and a little bit on Friday :S


I remembered my scratch and win card that i bought in AB on the way to BC that won me $2 and i intended to cash it in once we got back to AB. So i handed the cashier of the gas station my ticket and he kind of smiled and said "do you have any id?" and i was like "oh yeah it's in my car" so i went to get it. when i got back i handed it to him and he looked confused and mumbled something like "is this you?" and i thought maybe he meant cuz i'm not wearing glasses in my drivers picture so i took them off and he looked again and mumbled something about "1985?" and "sorry" and "young face" so BASICALLY he didn't believe i was 21!! haha that is awesome. in hindsight, i did have my hair in french braids and was wearing the jump rope for heart T-shirt i've had since like grade 7 :P BUT i got my $2 so all is well.

Sundae is getting to be a great traveller, tons better than she was on the way to BC in july even! she ate every time we gave her food, even once while we were driving! and she sleeps much easier too.




and today (sunday) we're leaving for the most wonderful week of the year!! i'll try to blog often, but i can't promise anything with all the snacking, lazing, and hanging out i'll be busy with :D
