Visit Home to Alberta

Well it was a whirlwind of weekend but it was so great to go home. I know no matter where Talon and I end up we will always be able to come home to our parents places. You can take the girl out of the country but you can't ever take the country out of the girl.

Talon's parents picked us up at the airport and we went out for dinner with Chris and Nic and then off to the farm. It was a beautiful sunny day there with barely enough wind to go play with the new trick kite that Jim bought. My mom drove up that night to pic me up and off to the ranch we went.


I got up early to see my brother shoot a bear from his new house while Christina, Janell, and I were doing yoga out on there new patio. The two really didn't fit but I was happy the girls would let me practise my teaching skills on them and we could enjoy the beautiful view. My husband showed up that afternoon and we enjoyed a great horseback ride on the new horses with Jason, almost got blown away trying to fly the kite, and had fun with the kids, kitten, Grandma. Always so much going on at the Ranch.



Off to Calgary we went the next morning for Emmerson's blessing. It was a great day again with family and we were so happy we could be there for her big day. She sure has grown since I saw her last and has such a sweet little disposition and lots of smiles for her Auntie.




I stayed up in Calgary the next 2 days with my sister. I had such a great time hangin out with her and her adorable girls. Mckenna is becoming quite the ham. She's so hilarious all the things that come out of her mouth. She's a funny fun kid. I had lots of errands to do as we signed the papers on the sale of out condo this trip too. Lawyers, accountants, banks, condo managers. Every hour of my visit was busy but I did manage a dinner with my two best girls Kat and Sara and Mercado(YUM), crave cupcakes(no trip to calgary is complete without) and a little shoping at my favorite store Purr complements of Talon's visa:)


This is Talon and I right after we signed the papers. We are SO HAPPY our condo is sold. Everything worked out so great with the timing of the sale as we had this trip already booked for the blessing. We are so grateful everything has worked out for us in Vancouver and we love it here but there is truly no place like home.
