Heritage Days...

Continuation of catch up... - Below are pics of Heritage Days in Edmonton - I went with my mom and her hubby Yvon  :)

This is a pic of our bus ride there - which btw my mom totally ripped off the bus driver by a good 4 dollars - not on purpose of course.

So at Heritage Festival we should be embracing new foods and trying new stuff...somehow I don't really think this constitutes as new... ha ha ha

When Yvon sees something he wants - he kind of gets tunnel vision and becomes obsessed. Yvon saw someone with a coconut and his mission became our mission.. find the coconut!!!....( which btw is totally an asian thing.. LOL )

Me and my momma....eating another Asian thing... bwahahah omg we did not take advantage of the different foods at all. LOLOLOL

On a side note I received the following gifts today - totally made my day :)

One of my staff actually made this for me, framed it, and sent it in interbanch mail...LOL - so sweet

Don't laugh - but these pens are a hot commodity. I actually requested these pens for my ten year anniversary with the bank.... I LOVE THEM! Thanks to those who made it happen. bwhahaha

I just gotta add another side note over here.... Last few days the same tune has been playing in my head. When I mean tune, I mean thought/theme. I've recently told my gf to fight for what she wants. When I say fight - I mean fight for love / possibility at a chance in love - fight for your man. Put yourself out there!! Even though the risk to get hurt is great, the chance at love is so much greater. I recently watched the movie Something Borrowed - and it sent the exact same message.  A lot of us can be very passive when it comes to love. Or even things that we want in general. There are a lot who would rather give to others before they give to themselves. Because of this - they end up on missing out on great opportunities. I say embrace it all - and just friggen go for it. Whatever it is - whomever it is. Then at least you can go through life knowing you tried - vs. wondering what if...

So here's a toast - to taking chances and fighting for what we want and having passion for life :)

Not a whole lot of difference....

Between Bun Bun and Peanut....

:P



I Had a Dream

Hi All! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend - I have tons of pics to share from my weekend but don't have time to upload them as of yet. For now I will leave you all with one of a song that I recently fell in love with:

I Had a Dream - by Priscilla Ahn

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.

I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream.

That I could fly from the highest swing.

I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be.

The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie.

I said a prayer and fell asleep.

I had a dream.

That I could fly from the highest tree.

I had a dream.

Now I'm old and feeling grey.

 I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.

I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell.

I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.

I had a dream.

:)
