    I just read your wish list. I would say you are making quite a dent in your travel section. I talk with your mom about your life and what you are up to and it seems you are doing very well for yourself. Keep it up. Hope to see you when you come back to bc.

    If I don’t see you when I come back I am planning on trying to make it up to Calgary for Sarah’s wedding!

    Well, frankly I am upset that a trip to Stettler, Alberta didn’t make it on your travel list! I would think visiting your cousin would be a top priority…
    ~maybe our next move should be to a warmer climate so people will actually want to visit~
    Here’s how you can make it up to me, when you visit Calgary for the Stampede you will just have to detour 2 hours north and visit us for a day.

    Good luck fulfilling all of your list items, I think you are well on your way!
