Well, for anyone who knows me - they know that I have a slight shopping addiction to the United States of America. But who wouldn't when you can get everything for half the price! My last trip to Bellingham was purely for groceries, and I did pretty awesome. I started the fine art of "couponing" with my friends and it paid off - I saved an extra $81 off my already reduced grocery bill...WAHOO!
Now I know us Canadians keep the mentality that we are the "politest country", I mean - it was one of our HIGH POINTS of our 2010 olympic display. However I am starting to disagree. The more I shop down the US, the more I am finding that they have it in the bag. I don't know the last time that I went to a store and was asked how my day was going without getting the push to buy something? Having people working in the drive thru on minimum wage who actually cared about their job and the product they were selling. Or having someone else not only bag my groceries, but bag them according to product and strategically placing them in my buggy so that nothing gets squished.
So to say that I am impressed would be an understatement. These might be simple things I have mentioned, but its sadly the things that have been lost.
So I guess the only conclusion to this post - is that I need to meet a good looking american man, get married and move. I will keep you posted.

The little things...
Tonight was the Christmas Eve service at my church - it was awesome. I took my camera along to snap some photos and this is my favorite one....

Christmas Time
Well....while going through the motions of December and everything that comes along with it, Christmas is finally amongst us - and it still doesn't feel like it. My kids have been gone for the past week, so maybe that has something to do with it. Here is one the vices I have been holding onto while they have been away....sanity is key right?!

Day 29 - The finale...
Or is it? This photo challenge has started something in me again, something that I haven't had in a long time. It's the joy of taking photos, capturing that moment, and seeing the finished product in your head as you're taking them. I don't think this will be the end for me...
I figured I'd make my last official day a photo of myself:

Day 28 - Obsession
My little boy has two obsessions in life - one is Buzz Lightyear and the other is hockey. Every week we go to Prospera Centre and he patiently awaits to get on the ice, I think he would live there if he could.
