I was talking to someone the other day about attending my high school reunion and they made a side comment such as “why bother, you can see everything/everyone on Facebook nowadays anyway…”.

The Last of It
I wanted to go ahead and write about and post pictures from our last couple of days in Canada… you know, for posterity and all. On our way back from the mountains we hit up the super enormous mall in Edmonton, West Edmonton Mall. It’s in West Edmonton. 😉 They have both a water park…

I Did Not Want to Leave…
I have so much to show and tell about our trip to Canada and right now I am still processing it all. I guess I could start with the people we spent time with, that mean SO very much to me. Just as I type that I begin to tear up because I love them…
