I'm on my way...

From misery to happiness to be.... uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh...

To be fair I was never miserable (I'm loving all the traveling!) - but I couldn't resist the song quote.  Thanks for indulging me. :)

I'm sitting in the Minneapolis airport right now trying to remember what all Travis and I have done over the last few weeks!  We've seen tons of people, visited quite a few places, and generally had a good time.





We had Matt & Cheryl's wedding the first weekend (which I blogged about already, see below), and the Rider semi-final for the western conference the following weekend.


Travis and I drove down with our friends Mel and Dave and had a raucous good time.  We even managed to run in to my Aunt and Uncle at the practice field before the game (with all those people and nothing preplanned - what were the chances!!)


We were tacky - but we had fun!  (Don't worry, I covered up all the red with green!  lol)


We went out for dinner to Earls restaurant in Saskatoon with most of my Mom's side of the family.  16 of us in all!  They didn't have a table available for all of us to sit together, so we were broken up in to 2 booths and a table.  


This won't make sense to anyone who hasn't been to Korea - but look at the name of the store next to Earl's!!!!   (In Korea, Bacchus is a really cheap energy drink similar to Red Bull in the States and Canada)


We got quite a bit of snow after being there for about a week and a half.  Just enough to make sure that we got Travis out tobogganing!!!  lol

Just this past Saturday night Mel and Dave took us out to see the PBR (Professional Bull Riding) at Credit Union Center. 


We had a lot of fun - but I'll be the first one to admit that I had no idea what was going on.  I know that the guys have to stay on the bull for 8 seconds, and that they can only use one arm.  After that, Travis had to explain a whole heck of a lot. 

Got some decent pictures though I think!  We had awesome seats thanks to Mel's new job at the radio station.


This cutie is Reese, my cousin Tori's little girl.  She was just one of the family members I got to visit with and Travis got to meet.  Reese was quite taken with Travis as well, granting him many giggles and smiles!

All in all it has been an awesome trip so far.  I really enjoy seeing everyone is Saskatoon again, and introducing Travis to so many people.  We had a blast!  Now I'm on my way down to South Carolina where I get to meet more people, and see a new place.

Green is the Colour!

Welp, that was quite a game, wasn't it?

 Travis and I went to the Rider vs. Lions CFL Western Semi-Final game yesterday and had a lot of fun!  The game was amazing, stressful, crazy, exciting, interesting, fun.... &c. &c.





The Riders made it interesting - waiting until the last half of the game to play well - and giving the Lions a lot of chances to catch up.  However in the end Riders pulled it out and we won 41-38!

Home Sweet Home

Well, I made it!  I arrived in Saskatoon on November 1st and I've been busy ever since.  Ran a bunch of errands when I first got here.  Boring stuff that I'm sure nobody is interested in.  Cellphone, Driver's license,  blah blah blah...

Travis got to town late on the 4th and we've been preparing for this past weekend... my good friend Cheryl and her beau (hee hee) Matt got hitched!


The wedding was beautiful.  Travis was the best man, and I was the Emcee (MC?) at the reception.  A good time was had by all - and the newly weds should be on their way to Jasper by now.  Travis and I are still dealing with the jet lag a bit - now that the wedding is over its sort of like our bodies have allowed us to start feeling it.  Early to bed should help.  Now I just have to deal with all my stuff that is in storage.  Anyone want a kitchen table?  lol
