I arrived in Calgary early this morning with our puppy Kiara, and my Bff S picked us up from the airport. What a trooper! Kiara was an angel on the flight, and again the flight attendants told me they didn't receive one complaint - thank goodness for gravol. LOL!!
It was a balmy -3 celsius so not too cold, but still a shock to my system. Poor Kiara was shivering in the car ride, and didn't go out until we woke up this morning!!
Hubby is meeting us on Friday and may only be staying for the weekend as he is starting a new job, and they really want him there for Monday. I hope he doesn't have to go back as we spent $800 on his ticket and would really feel wasted if he's only here for the weekend.
My mom's 50th birthday party is this Saturday and it's going to be HUGE. I'm going over to her house later today to surprise her as she thinks I'm coming in on Friday with hubby. I can't wait to see her reaction. I'm the only daughter out of 5 kids. I also happen to be the oldest, blah!
I will have to write another post about this, but I can't leave you hanging - I'm a student AGAIN. More info to come in my next post!!!!
Off to get ready so that I can surprise my momma tonight!!! EEEE can't wait!!!

Oh, Happy birthday to your mom! What a great surprise for her.
I was in Calgary this past weekend. Drove back up north Sunday night, just before the big storm hit.
Spring? I think Mother Nature fell asleep on the job.

Hello,
I am a writer & moderator for BlogExpat and truly enjoy the blog. We recently started a new project where we feature expat interviews and I was hoping you would be interested. It would entail a brief questionnaire with a personal introduction, questions about being an expat, and a picture.
If you are interested, please let me know and I will send the questionnaire. In any case, keep up the great work.
Cheers,
Erin Porter
