Gotta love long weekends

I know I usually only write about races, but is such a good weekend that doesn't happen too often! So don't worry, I'm not going to start blogging daily about brushing my teeth and stuff. It started out with my cousin's wedding Friday night which was a lot of fun and it was great to see her looking so beautiful and happy! We didn't stay too late though, because the next morning I had to get up early to drive out to the EK Y for coaching. Always a good time, maybe I'll have to tell more about that in a future blog post. That evening was Thanksgiving dinner number one at Omi and Opa's. So good! So much amazing food, and it was also a celebration of my birthday. After that I went to my twin, Mikala's house for a sleepover. We stayed up all night watching funny movies, talking, and eating crap. The next morning (well same morning I guess) we did it all again with another movie, more chat, and whatever junk food was left for as well as chocolate shakes! Solid breakfast of champions. This was our second year in a row of this birthday celebration. As lame as it may sound, we wanted to also be the first to post on facebook. Last year someone beat us to it which we found rather creepy but this year was a success. So Sunday was obviously the Jets game, which I got to enjoy in the theatre room with HD and surround sound with my family. Wow that was a pretty sweet way to watch hockey! Too bad they lost, but at least they got that one goal in, considering Montreal is a pretty tough team and their goalie is amazing. It was incredible though, just to see how crazy Winnipegers are about their NHL hockey! We also ordered pizza and had a bit of a birthday celebration that night as a family. This also included some more gifts of course, which is always fun. This morning I slept in a long time and am going to sit around pretty much until we go for Thanksgiving dinner number two at Grandma and Grandpa's. Well actually I will go for a run. But homework I'm still undecided on. I've been doing so well at simply not doing it this weekend, so why start now? Also I got the whole weekend off from work which made it awesome! Anyways, the fun will continue today before heading back to school Tuesday, but even that won't be too bad because half the day will be spent at Bird's Hill Park for a cross country race! So keep an eye out for that blog entry.
