I had a training session for work in Edmonton on Friday, so made the 3hr drive with my colleague Christina. We treated ourselves to a brief stop at the West Edmonton Mall for dinner and some shopping: a bit of a strange place, as it's not really the nicest mall (feels pretty old and outdated), but has SO much stuff (Ice Rink, Water Park, Amusement Park, "Underwater Adventure", etc.), and it was SO busy!! Edmonton itself is a nice city: reminded me in some parts of Toronto and Calgary at the same time. Now that it's getting colder out though, you can definitely tell that Edmonton is more of an "indoor" city, with so much of their year being winter!
Dave and I spent this weekend at home, getting things done around the house and relaxing. Dave had about 8 guys over last night for a boys night of watching "UFC" and playing poker, which was fun (Shandra and I escaped to go to the movies).
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Joel, Janet and Malcolm in a few weeks (Nov 7-14), and have our flights booked for Christmas: flying into Ontario on Dec 22nd, and back to Calgary on Jan 2nd. In the meantime, we have a few birthdays to celebrate, and are looking forward to hearing more about Tara and Joe's plans for their New Year's wedding. Our friends Jim and Andrea are due any day, so we are excited to hear their news...
Hope everyone is well--drop us a line any time! :)
