I was lucky enough to be in town for a Calgary Stampeders football game, so on Wednesday night my friend Yvette, the football virgin, joined me at the game. Might I just say that they were the 2008 Grey Cup Champions!!
The Stampeders playing the BC Lions.
Yvette and I enjoying the football game.
Yvette had a attraction to this random guy dressed up with fake 'guns' and some serious Stampeders paraphernalia.
Oh! How I missed real Canadian beer and it's deliciousness.
After the football game we headed to Jameson's Irish pub to meet some friends of mine. I suggested to Yvette that we just walk to the pub from the stadium because it was only like '10 minutes' away...Turns out it was a bit farther than that. It took us about 20-25 minutes to walk there. Yvette definitely wanted to kill me by the end of it, but she still managed a semi-smile for a picture during our travels.
Yvette was faking her smile, because she was not happy with all the walking happening.
If you could see my mouth in this picture you would clearly see that I am drooling over this Alexander Keith's.
Thursday I got to sleep in, but not as long as I would have liked. My mom and I went back to Southcenter mall to pick up my glasses.
I look like a teacher even more than I did before.
Thursday night I hung out with my friend Mackenzie. I forget how much fun we have together. Anyways, we headed to The Keg for a much needed steak dinner that I was craving. I decided that since I was only in Canada for a short time and I had the money that I was going to splurge and buy an expensive steak.
I opted for the seafood smothered steak with a baked potato.
Mackenzie knew the bar manager working at The Keg and when we went to pay for our bill it turned out to be only about $30, and my steak alone was almost that much. He gave us an insane discount, which was nice.
When we finished at The Keg, Mackenzie and I went to our friend Tasha's house for a visit and enjoyed a couple bottle of wines over some nice chit chat.
While at Tasha's I got a message from an old friend of mine I met in Mazatlan, Mexico asking me if I wanted to meet him for a coffee. I obliged, so he came to Tasha's and picked me up. We headed to Tim Horton's for a late night hot chocolate and iced cappuccino. We ended up sitting at Tim Horton's for well over 2 hours just talking and catching up.
Friday I didn't get the chance to sleep in because my mom booked me a last minute chiropractor appointment. I was glad that I went because my back really needs work.
Friday night I headed to Earl's for Maria's 25th birthday celebrations.
Maria looked great and I rocked my new glasses.
I didn't stay too long at Maria's birthday because I promised Tessa I would help her with some wedding preparations. It was nice to get the chance to hang out with Tessa one-on-one. I helped her string some flowers and I created the design of the ribbon on her center pieces. When she was ready to call it a night I drove us to her house and we had a sleep over.
