It didn't take long until the family was exhausted from the weekend... Anthony, Becki and I tried to check out a couple pubs but it didn't take long before our eyes grew heavy too.
We DID manage to get back to Calgary and have one last "Hoorah!" before we packed it in and headed back to Manitoba in the morning.

A short, sweet, and fun filled weekend had by all in Calgary!

#12 - Hop, skip, jump!

An interview lead me to Vancouver... I hadn't been back there in years... it was great to be back.
The only difference was THIS time I was living in more fear that it would be just my luck the anticipated earthquake would come!
Thankfully, it wasn't my luck.
Phewf!

The weather was AMAZING, interview went great, my hotel was relaxing, the ladies I met were inspiring and then came the bus...
The bus trip to Calgary...
I tried my hardest to rent a car but sadly, no luck.
I've done that drive in 9 hours or less, and the bus was gonna take me 15!!!
Oh man...

Yup, I had a stinky person by me.
We stopped in EVERY little hick town.
I had some crazy girl thinking we were friends and always wanting me to text her boyfriend;
"Hey Melissa..."
Whhhhaaaa?!  I didn't event tell you my name!!

"No.  No I wont text your boyfriend good night.  If you two care so much about where you are how about get cell phones of your own!"

FINALLY I made it to see my brother and his family.
The next day the rest of my family got to Calgary for Jacobs 1 year birhthday party.  (Minus Sandra and Keven)  
Long story short, here's the story by photo!


Just did Mom's makeup and Becki did her hair... hottie!
