some boring pictures

honeeeeyyyys, i'm hoooome! 

i got home yesterday from my trip to yellowknife. it was very very busy but i was able to have a bit of fun, thankfully. i was there for work so during the days i was busy and not able to go outside while it was light. that was a real bummer. here are some photos:

this was the view from my hotel room. trees!!

here i am outside with the northern lights! just kidding, that's just another photo of what i think may or may not be something pretty in the northwest territories. 

TREES!

one thing that was really great was the weather. it was so nice and warm! on wednesday it was only -9! i was surprised by how hot i was, though. i was sweating like crazy walking around outside. 

now i'm back in my very chilly home. wahoo!

honey, i'm home!

oh hey, do you guys want to know what a loser i am? last friday i went aaaaalllll the way back to ontario for work and i forgot the camera! doy. i was just too excited to bring any of the important things that i needed. don't worry, though, i did remember to bring an empty suitcase (that i happened to bring back filled with 70 lbs of things. THINGS! how can i resist things?!).

i had a really wonderful weekend in guelph seeing lots of friends and family. i even got to go to TWO birthday parties (!) and i was able to kiss my sweet nieces over and over. unfortunately they were both sick so i didn't do myself any favours. after family dinner on sunday night, my very nice father in law drove me to toronto where i did some work things and i also got to see some more of my favourite people. it was all fun and games until i left my hotel for the airport at 4:00 am on wednesday. i hate you, 4:00 am! i was very glad to come home, though. the apartment was filled with ian's tears.

now there's a blizzard outside. tonight the winds are supposed to get up to 100km/h. yikesy. we're going to brave it to go to a games night. worth it!
