I HAVE ARRIVED. My life in Winnipeg, Canada has officially begun. I won't count my actual arrival yesterday because it pretty much just consisted of meeting the family, getting to know the house, and sleeping a lot. Because Ryan was still on the road, it was just me to get a handle on the reins. We were lucky enough to get a family that would host a married couple because usually, they're just in it to host players, and it's totally understandable why any host family would rather not. But the Kuhlman's are kind-hearted people, so it wasn't any surprise to us when they agreed right off the bat (how's that pun for ya). Craig is the dad, Jill the mom, and their two kids Ashley and Nicholas. I'll write more on them later, but to sum it all up, they're awesome.
Since the Goldeyes were on the road and we all had the day off (and I had slept in till 11 that day), we needed to get out of the house for some fresh air. We took a nice stroll in the park which was covered with more grass and trees than I had ever seen in my whole life. I'm sure I annoyed everyone always commenting on how Vegas doesn't have any of that.
And in the middle of it all, there is what looks like Hansel and Gretel's house, which contained kids stories and some sort of play thing inside. Due to the rainy weather, it was closed so I couldn't see inside. It's pretty epic though: a random play house in the middle of the park.
After the park, we went grocery shopping and headed home. Ashley is obsessed with the game Just Dance (we're going to be great friends) so we played a ton of that, which was my workout for the day. Nick, on the other hand, bragged about beating me in air hockey the whole time so of course, I had to school him on that. I'll also write a separate post on our living quarters: the most epic game room/basement I have ever seen. 
After the game, we finished off the day with 2 games of 'Horse'. BOTH, of which I lost. I still don't know how that happened, but it did and I'm ashamed.
It was a great busy first day. Tonight is the first home game and I hear it's going to pretty much sell out. Check out Shaw Park here plus game highlights, live feed, etc.
P.s. if you type in the hashtag #PinedaCan14 on Instagram you can see all of the pictures I post in Canada. It's going to be a great summer.
