Saturday was a long day. I was in the office for just over 12 hours. Hello brutal. Luckily Conor and I got to have a bit of fun in the evening. On our way home we popped into Target and bought the game of life as well as mancala. So we played a couple rounds (of Life). The first game, I won and retired with over one million dollars, but I had NO children. Not even one!!! That just wouldn’t do. Conor wanted to play again because he lost. I wanted to play again because I didn’t want the first game to be a bad omen. Thank goodness I had a full vehicle the second round. Whew. I even had twins. Conor was satisfied with the second round because he won and I was satisfied because I wound up with children.
Last night we had friends over (yay we have friends!) for dinner and then played the game of life again. It was pretty hilarious. One thing that I really miss about home is student family housing and all of our friends there. That was truly the best place to live. We had so much fun playing cards, cranium, watching movies, going to the young married’s seminar at institute, and having spontaneous Sunday dinners. I don’t know if we’ll be able to find that kind of environment here. Maybe we’ll just have to initiate one? Calgary is definitely the place that I want to live for the rest of my life… and retire with over one million dollars… and a vehicle full of kids.
