weekly wrap-up: family day

This past week was reading week & family day, and I have had an absolute ball of a time! Although, I must confess... as you'll see from my photos, I have literally done no reading. Despite my grand plans of catching up, getting ahead, and being disciplined in academia, my week for the most part was spent skating, hanging out with family & friends, playing games, and eating yummies :)  I figure most of my classmates are in Mexico, so they can't be that much ahead of me, right?....right.
We had an incredible family day with Caleb's parents, who came up from Claresholm to visit with us! We spent the day skating then had a scrumptious brunch of eggs benny and just had a splendid time catching up. Thanks again, mom & dad for coming all the way up here!

&& Our friend, Joseph, is an international student all the way from Tanzania, Africa. We took him skating for his first time and he just loved it!! It was hilarious seeing his reactions to "skating on knives" and Canadian life :)




I also did something I don't think I have ever actually done....which is to play a full, legit game of Monopoly. Seriously. This game is long...and incredibly painful when you're losing (which I was!) But my Caleb is extremely dedicated to finishing things, so there ya go. One full almost 3 hour long game of Canadian Monopoly, which included a hockey player as a game piece!
This last photo here cracked me up so much. Caleb & I went on a date night out and this was my "fortune"... probably the worst and most pathetic fortune cookie slip I've ever gotten! Good thing I don't place any weight on these things, hehe.

  3. We had so much fun with you guys!!!!!!! Thanks for breaking the law with us and taking us skating on the pond before we were allowed to be there. And those egg bennys were so yummy. Thanks too for taking us out for my birthday supper. It was fun meeting your friends too. Basically, all around, we like hanging out with you.

    2. That's awesome! Haha and I will have to do that. I'm overdue for a prairie trip. I was told this weekend I have to come to Saskatoon so I might just have to go for a long road trip.

  6. Aaah! I just discovered your blog and love the three of you! I love that you are all so different yet so cohesive as a group of ladies sharing a blog! Although, I have to saw that I love that I've found another Asian blogger! :) Anyway, just wanted to say hi and wanted to let you know that I love your photos and how all three of you ladies are lovers of Christ.

    Did I mention your photos are beautiful? Because they really are. :)
