Perfect Day

Calgarys first REAL snow this winter

snow -10 °C

Yes yes yes, I'm the worlds slackest blogger. I just HAD to write about my day on Sunday, though.

I'm sure you're all aware that I'm now living in Calgary with Travis, one of the boys that I met in Montreal. I'm working at a clothing store in Chinook Mall for the time being. I had Sunday off work, and it was one of the best days ever.

Slept in and didn't wake up to an alarm. I DID, however, wake up to a whole lot of snow falling from the sky. Three of us went out for brunch at a popular cafe in Hillshurst. There was a bit of a wait, so we stood outside in the snow drinking coffee for an hour. Had the best food ever - berry filled crepes with fresh fruit.
Travis and I went shopping downtown and got some great bargains. There was SO much snow that we couldn't even see the roads. The trees were covered. The cars were covered. It was all powdery and crunched under our feet when we walked.

We arrived home, and there was a note under our apartment door telling us to go to the drugstore over the road to collect some parcels. YAY! Christmas presents from home are now lying underneath our Christmas tree.

Travis and I then put on our pjs, wrapped ourselves up in blankets, and watched Pay it Forward on DVD while eating chocolate. The fairy lights were on, and we lit candles around the house.

It REALLY felt like Christmas.
