So in our last episode we left off with me stranded in Edmonton. My flight was cancelled the week before I was set to depart; the re-booking would have to wait at least two weeks, take 3 flights and cost a minimum of $250. So Big Brother to the rescue! My older brother lives 3 hours from Calgary and was making a trip up to Red Deer so a couple more hours north wasn't a big deal. (Anything for family right?) I had plans to go and visit him in May anyways so he got me on May 4th and then my parents came up to meet me at his place and I got back to the OK on May 8th.
My big bro lives in the Rockies and I got to enjoy the beauty of "God's Country" as he likes to call it.
How have you been keeping yourself busy?
When I haven't been doing unit planning and curriculum development and waking up for 4am meetings (1pm in Czech Republic) I have been cleaning out the closet in my parents' basement where I store my belongings. This has resulted in the uncovering of some treasures.
I can't believe the things we keep sometimes.
This foam visor was from A&W that I got in high school
This was the helium balloon I got when I graduated high school!
Notes my friends made for my 17th birthday
It is a hippo mask I made in College during a how to teach Art module
The bridesmaids dress that still fits me!
The couple just celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary!

Sorting through many many photos this was a favourite!
There is just something special about old family photos.
As Covid-19 restrictions have begun to relax we have been able to get out more and return things to something a little more normal.
There is something about getting a haircut that brings spring back into your step.

This couldn't be more true for our lovable dog Fritz.
In just the last two months he has shown signs of going blind and possibly deaf. He slowed down considerably and Mom was sure we would need to say goodbye to him soon. Then he got a haircut...

I think he might have a few years left in him yet!
I've slowly started to pack suitcases and prepare for my departure in 7 weeks!
Lord Willing I will be getting on a plane to head "home" on July 20th.
It still seems like a long ways off but I know it will be here before I know it!
Praying that flights stay scheduled and that covid becomes a distant memory.
Trusting the Lord and waiting on him.
Taking one day, one step at a time, with open hands.
