My cute little sissy and Ms. Jessi Paige. Only we decided the creek would be a better background than the Winter Olympics 2010 Olympic Rings sculpture that was like 10 feet away? Sounded like a good idea at the time...
5 Things I Learned about Canada that I didn't already know on our little trip:
1.) Canadian public restrooms are called "washrooms" and they DON'T HAVE TOILET SEAT COVERS!
2.) They say "Cheers" to mean 'good luck, 'thank you,' 'you're welcome..." Anything along those lines. Where's the ice machine? Down the hall, CHEERS! What's the exchange rate for the American dollar today? 95 cents, CHEERS!
At first it was fun and endearing, but now it just makes me frustrated because it can mean so many things you don't know how to respond!!!!! and it makes them seem all fun and happy and spontaneous and we have nothing to say back :)
3.) On the way up, they had these signs giving directions. In English and then in some other language. We all had absolutely NO idea what language it is, how you pronounce it or who could read it? Like seriously? Any ideas? skkcmksdfkjkldjakljdflaskdf?
4.) Canadians (or some we met at least) think that American's have it right. "America makes their highways flat and straight. Such a good idea." Should we be proud??? :)
5.) It is $45 for a case of Budweiser. As in $45 for 24 cans of Budweiser beer. OMG. Not that I drink that lame, watery stuff.... I stick to my Mike's lemonade ;)
P.S. As I gear up to get over myself and begin following WeightWatchers again tomorrow after a 3 month hiatus and a sickening amount of weight gain (yep, I like to start these things on Mondays. I have already told my psychologist, don't worry :), this song keeps popping into my head. On the drive up to Whistler this weekend Mandy was showing us her new favorite Christian song. It's verrryyyy catchy.
What I didn't realize? HOW TRUE AND AMAZING the words are from One Thing Remains by Bethel Live...
Your love never fails
It never gives up
It never runs out on me
Say those words to yourself like five times in a row. Do it. and realllllly listen to them. Jesus NEVER runs out of love for us! Never??? NEVER! No matter HOW many times we mess up, fall down, say the wrong thing or just can't seem to get it right, his love and forgiveness NEVER fails. It NEVER gives up and it NEVER runs out.
Amazing. and I am so thankful. as I mess up lots and lots and lots and sometimes think there is no point in even trying again, cuz he has given up on me. But nope :) <3
Thanks Jesus and Canada for a fab weekend :) CHEERS!
