Day 3: ICE FISHING – Yellowknife, Northwest Territories – Canada
Ice Fishing! For Day 3 we drove onto Prosperous Lake for ice fishing, something Chris and I have never done. Like clockwork, shortly after finding our location, the clouds pushed aside and showered us in sun. The temperature was a balmy -6 degrees as Chris and Glenn took turns using the auger to drill through…

Day 1 & 2: Yellowknife, Northwest Territories – Canada
One day Glenn and Chris, while drinking, thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to travel to northern Canada, to Yellowknife, together”. I texted Eliza, Glenn’s wife, and asked, “Are the guys serious about Yellowknife? Is it just a guys trip or can we go too?” So here we are. Sitting under the northern lights as…

My Auntie Cher
My Auntie Cher died this past week, and my heart is broken. Our family has lost a mom, an aunt, a sister, a friend, and really, one of our core matriarchs. Growing up, she was my second Mom. Her boys, my brothers. This may sound crazy, but I’ve never known how to spell her name.…

Purple Party!
When I got the invitation to the Purple Party, I asked the same question you’re probably thinking, “What the hell is a purple party?” It’s quite simply actually. The name is telling you exactly what it is. It’s a party where everyone wears as much purple as they can. Â Then of course all the decorations,…

Dinosaur Christmas Tree & a Cat in a Christmas Sweater?
People have told Chris and I that we look a like. Do you think it’s possible for two people to start looking alike just because they’re together all the time? Take a look at an old couple. Do you think so? Here’s a photo of my parents. Um? Well, at least my mother doesn’t have…

We met every Tuesday for 1-hour and our teacher taught us…
