Getting Back Into the Swing of Things P.1

Sunday, August 17, 2014

Oh that pun kills me. If you didn't know, my husband plays baseball.

So I haven't been writing, much less even thinking about blogging until today. It's Sunday, and I'm making my usual coffee in the afternoon, yes I usually don't wake up until noon...or later, and I realize that I'm am one lazy person. Not only did I pay good money to create my blog and keep it going, but I don't even share what I'm doing in the Slurpee capital of the world. Major fail on my part. So hopefully, I've gotten the motivation I need to start blogging again on a regular basis. Hopefully being the emphasis here.

I thought I'd begin my new beginning with a MAJOR iPhone dump. Broken into 2 parts of course, because there are way too many pictures for one blog post. Ain't no body got time for dat. Enjoy the endless amount of pictures coming your way! You can totally pretend you're doing this stuff with me...I won't judge.

All Star Game 2014 - 6 players from the Winnipeg Goldeyes were chosen, one being my husband. What an honor. Even though he was hurt and couldn't play, it was AMAZING to see the best of the best get down in the all american sport. GOD, YOU ARE GOOD.

Gimli Beach, Manitoba - on a day when the boys were on the road, my sweet host sister and her bf took me to Gimli, which is a beach town a little outside of Winnipeg. The views were breath taking and the water was surprisingly not as cold as I would have imagined in Canada.

Downtown Showcase Thingy - A few days ago, the wives and I headed downtown for some art/activity show thing (I still don't know what it was called) to spend some time together. Let me just say that it was probably one of the funnest things I've done here and it was totally spur the moment and odd amusement. In each alley way (yes you read that right) there was a different showcase/activity/art piece that locals made to, well, show off. 12 in total and some were dull and boring and other were making giant bubbles with strings, swinging in singing hammocks, star gazing, and enjoying mother nature.

Country Night Baseball - Last Wednesday was "country" night so I borrowed the cutest white boots and hat from my host sister and dressed for the occasion. I was not going in this alone so I made my partner in crime (another wife) dress up with me. She loved it even though she hadn't said so.

Sorry that was extremely long. Get some popcorn because Part 2 is coming up!
