Don't worry be Happy (& Poor)

It’s still so beautiful outside! The last time I wrote I was pretty stressed and homesick…but by homesick I think I just meant hungry. But today I am not stressed, homesick or hungry. I am 100% happy and my heart is full.

After I spent the day yesterday in the sun and getting some good summer vibes I saw a glimpse of the bigger picture. Who am I kidding, who cares if I’m poor when I’m Canada!

Jen also didn’t have work yesterday so I spent the day with her,

ROOMIE BONDING

she needed to go grocery shopping and I actually thoroughly enjoy going grocery shopping in foreign lands.

We went to the “Super store” and oh my gosh it was HUGE. Heaps bigger than Costco! Mate, North Americans know how to do it! Well, when it comes to food shopping hahaha

Once we got home we were going to go to the pool but it was way to far away and I couldn’t justify that much of a journey for the swimming pool.

Might as well keep on going all the way to Vancouver to the OCEAN! Ahhhh how I wish I could go to the beach right now.

Anyways we settled for the local kids water park. When I say kids I didn’t realise that we’d be the only ones older than the age of 7.

What.

Hahahha lucky we are girls other wise it would have been waaaaaaaay creepy.

But mate, when Canada is 29 degrees in September you take what you can get. I needed some pool time.

We humbled our selves and actually it was so hilarious. It had those squirty guns. Lol cute 

After I got home, content with solid water/tanning time I was so much more grateful for this day off to recharge.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing that we get a little bit stressed in life, if everything was easy breezy we wouldn’t be grateful when payday comes, or when the weekend comes.  Imperfect lives keep us interesting. Life isn’t meant to be perfect but that what makes it so beautiful. Find the magic moments in everyday life.

Maaaaaateee this late night writing is getting deep

I don’t even know what I’m saying but my job is awesome and Canada is wicked. I love my life, Even if all I can afford eating is Weetabix haha

Haha Night x

Banff

Finally went to Banff!

Oh my goodness what the perfect

Just exactly what I imagined Canada to look like ♥ ♥ ♥

so Mike asked me to go on a banff day date with him, what a lovely soul.

I met Mike for like two minute at this party I randomly went to with Jerica and Cody when I first got to Canada.

So I didn't really know him well at all, but what better way to get to know someone that the Canadian rockies! 

It was a pretty long day, 10am till 8pm. epic long but it was good, we get a long pretty good..

...when he can actually understand me.

My goodness haha so annoying, out of everyone I've ever met in both American and Canada he's the person who struggles the most with my accent. 

Sozza Mate

But it was so nice to actually see touristic things, I feel like people at home will be waiting for these pictures hehe. The view was actually magical.

10/10 would recommend

Pine trees for days, and the mountains ahhhh breath taking! Mum would have been going nuts! Painting Material for sure!! 

Everyone kept asking where we where from since Banff is so famous and touristy. So Mike says we where from Portland for some reason hahaha I don't know why Portland? Australia is cooler than Portland!? But I went along with it..

I mean Canadians and Americans sound pretty much the same anyways so he didn't have to put on an accent but my American accent is hilarious… I do practice at work all the time to sound like a local but when I was speaking today it was so bad hahaha

"Thank Yewwwwww" "Yeahrrrr" hahaha sound so valley girl ^.^

Quality times though.

Water Guns

It was hot outside today yayayaya well hot for Canada, finally got to wear shorts!! 

SUMMER DAYS

But today was rather eventful you could say…

Last night Joel was telling us his hilarious prankster stories that he’s done in the past, lols for days!

Anyways that must have triggered something because he planned this epic water bomb attack on Efy kids that are currently on camp at the university. I actually was so keen for a water fight, was in need of some more summery activities.

So Jen and Jerica my roommates got involved with this as well, we filled up 400 water balloons. Jerica and I made Caleb come to the shops with us to buy water guns, and while we were there we bought all this pointless camo stuff to be matching and cute haha

…Taking this way to serious

us roomies had a little mini water fight on our car port roof, so fun but maybe borderline dangerous ^.^

anyways we invaded Efy like we were the ninja turtles or something. I was on the back of the ute with my water gun ready for action hahaha but it didn’t last long we got a few people wet also got in mad trouble which is always a goodtime haha

Since we still had so many water balloons left we went back to the car park where we all met. Someone that was with us saw one of his friends at the park next to us playing that real life game of world of warcraft? Like that imaginary sword game??

But they had real swords and shields but the rest was Imaginary?

Anyways

They decide to join in on the water fight; I was 100% on board. But mate, this one guy whom was quite an attractive geek with that purple shirt on smashed me in the face with a sword!

….

He didn’t care 1% that I was girl hahaha but that just made that much more determined to destroy him. Sorry in advance human.

But after we finished with the water balloons everyone picked me up and put me in the bin filled with water from all the broken balloons. Thanks guyyyyyssss

It got so cold so quickly! No warm summer nights in Canada eh?

Random as but hilarious night

MOUNTAINS TOMORROW

Till Mañana x
