Alberta-Bound

It would appear that I did not post my blog about Calgary.

DUH!!!!!

So sorry folks. I am the worst bestie ever!!

Here goes:

I finished work on the 8th of March at 130pm. I had a brutal sore throat for three days. I picked up A to hang out before I left for almost a week. We hung out at my place and I tried to relax since I was sick. Eventually he came with me to the walk in clinic and I got expensive!! drugs for my throat.

I hung out with him that night and dropped him off at his place late that night. I was gonna miss him but I was sooooo excited to see RR and JR. I went home and texted A while I packed some stuff.

The next morning I took the train to Faja's house and he picked me up at the station. Two hours of travel to get there. I was at his place for a couple hours and during that time I transferred my stuff from my duffel bag to Faja's suitcase. I went online and picked my seat (17F) and checked in. We left shortly after and drove half an hour to Hamilton's airport. I checked my bag and my dad and I got Tim Hortons while we waited a bit. With an hour til I started to board I decided to go through security since I was nervous about it because I never had before. Got through there fairly uneventfully. Waited for an hour then started to board.

Showed the girl my license and my boarding pass. Walked outside to the ramp. Up the ramp to the plane. Showed the flight attendant my boarding pass and she vaguely pointed. Walked down the aisle, found my seat, got stuff I wanted out of my PeTA bag, and threw my bag in the overhead thing. Sat down and put my seatbelt on. Played with the tv a bit. Waited forever and ever.

Then we started driving down the runway slow-ish. I drive faster. Then we turned around and started going back up the runway. Fast. Faster. And up.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Best feeling ever! It's so awesome. The butterflies in my stomach were going nutso with the lift-off. It was a cool thing to be on my first plane ride by myself. I felt so brave :)

Then a million years later we started to go down and we landed. I was SOOOOO excited. I txted my facebook status to let ppl know I made it safe and I gathered my stuff, walked off the plane, on a ramp, into the airport.

I was there!

I saw a sign that said baggage and just kept following those signs. Eventually I went down an escalator and through automatic doors.... and there they were.

MY BESTIE AND HER HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sooooooooooo excited to see them. I hugged RR and JR and they gave me my favourite frap from Starbucks that they had brought me. Yum-o and so sweet :)

JR grabbed my bag and we went to the car. We drove to their house and I finally got to see where they live. I walked around their house taking pictures of me in their house. :) We had some food and played rockband and eventually went to bed.

Next morning I woke up wayyyyy too early. Early for Alberta time and early for Ontario time so it sucked balls!!

R and J had to work that day so I washed dishes, played rockband, and entertained myself for the day while was nice. :) R picked me up after work and we went to get J. We played rock band, had dinner, and hung out that night I think.

Friday R had off but J worked. I can't remember if that's the day we went shopping. Yeah, I think it was. We went to two malls. I bought extensions, we got lunch, we chatted about boys :) we went to another mall.

Oh my gosh. I heart this mall. They had Sephora, MAC, Teaopia, Lush, and so many other amazing stores. I got a cropped, off the shoulder top to wear over tanks that says "I (heart) my bf" and we got some exfoliation done at Lush. We  tried a bunch of makeup at Sephora on our hands. We walked the entire mall, got some ice cream and left. It took us quite a while :)

We got back too late to cook for our husband like good wifeys so we went to pick him up and made dinner when we got back I think. I think we went bowling that night. If so, we went to this sketchy bowling place that was hard to find. We got pizza and it was delish! We played two and a half games. I won them all!!! Just kidding. I like to think we all won in our own way! lol.

Saturday we made a cake. And ate it. The whole thing. So delish! I think we went to the general store this day. I got some cool stuff. We had a girls night and watched House Bunny and did face masks :) And we crocheted!! We're hard core!

Sunday we worked on headbands during the day. Josh should've napped but didn't. We went to dinner at a vegetarian/vegan/raw restaurant and had the best dinner ever. We both LOVED being able to go somewhere and not disect the menu for "safe" stuff for us to eat. It was incredible!! R had a calzone and I had a quesidilla. It was soooo good! We did my photoshoot that night. It took us a couple hours but I love the pictures. They were awesome!! R is such a great photographer! :)

Monday. Time to go home. :( R drove me to the airport super early! I don't wish to discuss this part cause it bums me out.

I'm sure I left stuff out but as I remember I'll add in. I had a great time with my best friends :) I love hanging out with both of them and it was such a great week. I was excited to go, sad to leave, and missed waking up in my room there when I got back. :(

I get to see RR in a few weeks when she comes to visit but I'll only see her one day and it's not the same. Boo! I hope to go there again before she moves back because I not only enjoyed spending lots of time with her and J, but I loved their town and Calgary.

I miss it so much. I miss them so much.

Love you guys!!
