Good morning, everyone!!
I returned to Ottawa at 7 am this morning and went straight to work at 7:30... This means I will get to leave an hour earlier... Hooray! For a bus sleep, I am surprisingly not too tired, so it should be a great day after all. Of course, the facts that we are only a week away from our next milestone as well as in the 80s for the countdown to the Christmas Season may have me already looking past how I should be feeling and thinking about the future!
Anyway, aside from the rides, the trip was quite enjoyable. It's always good to see family, especially since they treat me so well. Unsurprisingly, my mom and I talked about Christmas a lot. Even my grandmother, who now lives in a Retirement home, mentioned it and asked what was happening. This talk, of course, always makes me smile.
The wedding was great! My friend - the bride - looked stunning and I could not be happier for her. We've only talked a few times per year since high school (and have seen eachother even less, especially in the past few years), but it's still like we're best friends whenever we're around. I could not help but beam with pride as she walked down the aisle. I am truly glad I made the trip and I thank everyone on here for the support to do so. The ceremony was short and enjoyable and the reception was fun and delicious! Again, thanks to everyone who wished me well on the weekend trip, I appreciate the assistance on returning safely.
Have a great time! Don't forget the big fluffy pillow and a blanket so you can be at least a little comfy on the bus. (I once took a bus from Toronto to Vancouver! Yikes...that was back when I was young and did not know better) cheesy
Unfortunately, I forgot my awesome pillow in my apartment and was forced to sleep on a sweater for my ride back to the Sault. I did not bring a blanket either, so the ride was a little chilly. My mom gave me a pillow for the ride back, which helped tremendously! All the way to Vancouver? I do not think I could ever do that! These 12 hours bus rides have been haunting me since I moved away in 2003! I'm sure it was a great time though... I have never heard a bad thing about Vancouver. Everyone who travels there never wants to come home, either. At least you had an adventure you will always remember.
Glad to see everyone is in great spirits here. Enjoy the Monday and have a safe work week, everyone! Each day brings us closer and closer!
