What a Weekend!


If I had to discribe this past weekend in one work it would be WOW! It was an amazing weekend for so many reasons...
Day 1: Wednesday Heather picked me up from Caronport... we were heading out to Lethbridge/Calgary/Canmore! We were suposed to wait until 4pm to leave but there were blizzardus conditions and heather had just driven from Saskatoon and she said the roads were horrid so we decided to leave earlier so she would have day light to drive in. We prayed that God would allow us to have a safe trip and the roads were clear and we could see the whole way to Lethbridge! so really day 1 was uneventful... in a good way!




DAY 1 PICTURES:


This is the car.... you would never know there was just 2 of us in there... or maybe you would cuz no one else would fit the way we travel!







Heather's rental car had really messed up head rests... I'm holding to the opinion that they put them in backwards!Day 2: Well Day 2 started out with some breaky and then a visit with Ani who was still prego... She looked so wonderful though! Then we were off to find the Calgary bus depot we made it there with only 1 wrong turn.... it was a miracle! Once we had picked up heather we were off to Canmore! We realized at that point that we had no idea how to get from the bus depot to Canmore. So we had a brilliant idea ask for directions! We were told to turn right at the first stop sign and then some other stuff... well we got to that stop sign and found out that you could only turn left there... so left we went and we drive around Calgary for o I would say 2 hours... fianlly after receiving directions #2 we were on our way to canmore! We arrived in Canmore and started to look for our hotel... we were expecting some crapper hotel but when we pulled into the parking lot we learned that our hotel didn't quite fit into that "crappy" catagory... asctaullly it was the nicest hotel I had ever stayed in! It was soooo wonderful... a bit too wonderful for us we didn't know how to handel ourselves... lets just say I could get used to eatting like that and drinking juice out of wine glasses very qucikly!


DAY 2 PICS:


Our wonderful beds that had a button that would ajusted the softness/hardness of the bed



Well I'm just going to skip now to Sunday as the other weekend days were more fun conference stuff and good food!

Sunday (not sure which day #):

We left the conference @ 12 and were planning on meeting Kassi and Matt and Dallas in Calgary @1:45 so we figured we'd be early... HAHAHA... we of course got lost again! This time we did have directions but I wrote them down wrong!!!! we realized that we were going in the wrong direction when the mountains started to get closer! We did end up making it to the mall... thanks matt... and had a wonderful visit! But the most exciting part of our trip was still to come! After we left the mall and got a bit lost again we were on our way back to Lethbridge... to meet Maverick Sebastion Leray... ANI HAD HAD HER BABY!!!!!!!! I was an auntie to the cutest baby ever (there's lots of pics below)!!!!!


Once hospitial visiting hours were over we stayed with some of heathers friends and then Monday am we were back for a quick visit with Ani and Maverick before I had to head back to sask... we didn't get lost at all on monday!!!!

And so that brings me to now... back at school... working my butt off to make up for the 5 days I didn't do much HW.... but every second was worth it!
