Monty's 25th Birthday

The Birthday boy
Rook game #2

The Rook master



So Friday was Monty's 25th birthday, so we all went over to Lindsey and Laura's for a little b-day bash. Had dessert and played some rook and Gutair hero.. all was fun.. glad to be inside considering we were having thunder storms which is not very common out here. So while the rain was pourin outside we were having a blast and celebrating inside. My advice for playing rook always play silent partners and when calling the card for your partner always call the highest card that you can.. tis all for now.. till the next big event!

The Lessons learned when living on your own.

So this week as been an exciting one. Last Saturday night was the football game of the Lions vs. Stampeders.. there was a group of 20 of us there, so we all shared lots of laughs and nice 2 hours of hanging out. Sunday night I had a group of us over for a potluck to Welcome one of the girls from Calgary so she could get to know everyone, except she meet most of us on Saturday night at the came, but that didn't stop us from having a good time. I learned thanks to Jared, that when your car is struck by lighting you are to only hop on one foot as it is the path of least reistance and the shock and current of the lighting will not pass up through your leg, up your chest, through your heart and down the other leg and kill you.. and to think this all came from talkin about flighin in planes and how my mum's place got hit by lighting once.. Then we discovered that in a span of a week in April we have 4 birthdays and one wedding anniversary, so it looks like we will be planning another party to celebrate that!! Now I have learned that there is a major difference on when girls move out on their own and when guys move out on their own. I went out with one of the boys that just moved in this week to take him to Costco to get some food, so that he has something to eat. I learned that boys shop different, that they look at everything first and then go back and get what they want, and that they definely cook different than girls. Most of all I learned that they can live for a while with out having anything in their house but their beds, as I'm sure most of you will agree with me that girls need something to sit on and eat at!! But it was all in good fun, even if we had differences in cooking and had to eat on the floor.. (he's getting furniture this week!).. its one of the fun things that you get to learn and laugh at when you live on your own!! Have a good Turkey weekend!!!
