I'm taking a break from packing. Packing was invented by the devil. That's pretty much a fact. Anyways...

While I'm really excited to go back and see everyone, I'm also a little sad. There were MANY times when I wondered what the heck I was doing nine hours away from home in a strange city. There were MANY times throughout the year that I wanted to pack up, call it quits, and go back home to snuggle with Mommy. I never thought I would ever like Lethbridge, and it's definitely not my most favourite city, but it's become my second home.

Here are some of the things I would have missed out on if I hadn't come to Lethbridge:
