I had good intentions of writing while I have been back at the farm for the last 2 weeks, but alas things didn't go as planned. Most days have been full of adventures and being out of the house all day. I got to spend some time in Medicine Hat with family and friends, as well as my friends and family in my home town. It was great to get to catch up with people that I haven't seen for almost 2 years. It is amazing how much can happen in that time!
I only spent a few days in Medicine Hat and it went by so fast! I somehow managed to fit in time to see almost everybody. Sorry to those I missed! I somehow managed to pick the hottest days to be in the Hat, but it was still a great time. Went on walks along the coulee, had a picnic, went to some of my favourite restaurants and managed not to get lost once!
On my way back to the farm from Medicine Hat, I stopped in Lethbridge to see my cousin,
aka minitwin. She gave me an amazing new haircut. Whenever I feel like doing something drastic to my hair she is the one I call. This time I cut almost 10 inches off. I went from incredibly long hair to short hair. Well short for me. I haven't had short hair since I was 17. I have been growing it out since then (9 years, but who's counting). Wish I could have spent more time with her, but unfortunately work gets in the way.
The rest of my time was spent on the farm. I got to see my friend and niece for a day. It was great to see them! I can't believe she is 6 already. She's getting too big! I am so glad that we have remained friends for so long and I get to be a part of their lives.

One of the highlights of the trip was getting to play with my brother's new kitten. Everybody that knows me knows that I love cats. I am a crazy cat lady without actually owning a cat of my own. His kitten is so cute! She acts like he never feeds her and tries to drink out of any cup that has been put down or is in your hand. She isn't always the smartest either. She got her head stuck in a cup. But she is so cute it makes up for it.

I got to go motorbiking with my parents to Waterton and over Logan Pass. My dad's Moto Guzzi is so nice to ride, even though it covered my pants with dust. I've never had a bike cover me in dust so horribly. I was wearing dark blue jeans and they were not blue by the end of the trip. We also went to Many Glacier and got to ride the boat and I finally found a ring similar to the one I got there when I was 7. It has a turquise stone and is my favourite ring but has seen better days. I went to every gift shop while going over Logan and in Waterton but no luck. Many Glacier had 5 or 6 to choose from. I had a hard time choosing which one I liked the best. We also took the kayaks up to Cameron Lake in Waterton. I have not kayaked in a very long time. My arms were pretty sore after. It was a fairly calm day in Cameron Lake terms for kayaking and it was great. We didn't go all the way across but most of the way and I didn't even end up in the water once! Which is a pretty big accomplishment for me. When I went white water kayaking I spent more time in the water than the boat.
This has been a fantastic trip, but I am very ready to get back to Vancouver. I have a couple weeks before school starts and I get busy with school and work.
Have a wonderful week!
