Already Heading Back East

So I am sorry to disappoint anyone but I am not headed way back east, but I did spend my weekend with my Christmas Season Family in Saskatchewan. Their beautiful 3 week old baby girl was playing Jesus in the Christmas play and well considering I still hadn't made the trip to see her yet I thought this was the perfect excuse! I had a wonderful time and I cannot wait to spend the holiday season with them, even though I will miss my family dearly I am forever thankful for them opening up their home to me. 

Now on to what went on the rest of the week. I spent all week in Edmonton which was I must say a very good time. I used to hate training and now I realize we just weren't doing it right back home. The training was actually very interesting and challenging, the hotel was beyond awesome (see pictures of lobby bellow I'll snap some of my room when I'm back in January), the people were beyond amazing and well let's face it I wasn't in Nowhere Alberta, I was in the city and considering the HUGE amount of culture shock I seem to have that part really helped get me through the week.

Lessons of the Week:

Never drive in the dark if when you come across a Deer Warning sign with a Live Deer hanging out underneath of it

Blues on Whyte; Although it has very good music is TERRIFYING (Always bring a buddy to the bathroom)

No matter where you go as a Maritimer you will only attract other Maritimers (which is awesome because we are a pretty kick-a** group of Canadians)

Never argue with a Newfy... You will loose

and last but not least.... You know you are loved when I friend offers you endless hot beverages so you wont leave and texts to ensure your safety when you arrive home (xoxo my darling!).

Cheers!
