finally an update

hi hi.

I suppose I've been a bit distracted over the past week or so, starting my second job and settling into my new room, and David was also here for the past 6 days--which were all wonderful. I was very sad to see him go today.

On Saturday he arrived in the morning with his mom and sister, and we took a little trip to Norquay to go riding for a few hours, which was awesome because it wasn't too busy, and it was great to see some of his family again. We went out for dinner afterwards, and then Rebecca and his mom drove back to Calgary.

On Sunday I had to work early until about 12noon, so David went back to Norquay to spend some time in the park while I was at work. We met up later on, got some groceries (chicken specifically!) and had some dinner.

On Monday we got up early and took the 45 minute bus ride to Lake Louise, to go riding for the day (since I had 2 free lift tickets, and I'd never been there before). It was SO beautiful there, and there are so many options as to where to ride... since there are like 3 mountains to choose from. Here are some quick pics.

I think the day at Louise took a lot out of me, because I wasn't feeling so hot on Tuesday after working early in the morning. That day I hooked David up with my friend Scotty, who had asked me a few weeks ago if David could do some filming of his riding, and perhaps throw together a little video for him to send off to some potential sponsors. I was glad it worked out, since I had to work most of Tuesday and wanted to make sure David was busy doing something while I worked. They hiked backcountry at Sunshine, and ended up having a nice time.

Wednesday I felt sick still and was a little bummed about it, but I only ended up working just over an hour.

Today is Thursday, and David flew to Whistler to visit some friends and enter the 72 Hour film festival that is going on there, with a friend. I was more sad that usual to see him go.

Oh and mom, I have a picture for you... This guy was just taking a leisurely walk on the sidewalk in front of the hotel... this is a normal sight...

Well tomorrow I have to work at 6:15am, so I'm going to get to bed now.

I'll try to update more often, hope there are still some people reading!

Miss everyone a lot.

Love Alison.
