can i see your ark?

H'okay, so I am officially in BC! Snaps for my new hometown. It's absolutely gorgeous here - mother and I already checked out TWU, amazing as per usual, and are currently snug as a bug in our hotel room. BUT, what is a trip without it's complications?!

So first, literally 30 seconds after arriving in the E-town airport, the handle to my pick suitcase got jammed, sticking up. Instead of putting all my luggage on the normal carry on carousel, it was 'oversized'. Extra lines up are so much fun. At the end of the day though, the handle managed to close, thanks to the luggage guys, however.

After arriving in BC, the mother and I proceeded to get our vehicle. So a nice old man, closely resembling my Uncle H, drove us to our Car Store in his taxi. No problems. Until we got into our rented vehicle and drove away. 30 seconds into our drive, we realized we had no air conditioning. Bearable in Alberta. But did I forget to mention it was almost 30 degrees? Talk about swack, swoob, and the infamous swass! Sick of bathing in our own sweat, we wheeled around, and exchanged our crap bucket for a cute Cobalt. Not a bad carb though, I must admit.

It's pretty fun just bombing around in BC, seeing all the sights, cruising around. But because of our crazy day, my Mom and I hadn't eaten a meal for hours. As we were cruising along, we noticed the how awfully hungry we were and decided to stop at an Olive Garden somewhere between here and there. PAUSE. The OG here in Langely is SPECTACULAR compared to the one back home. Utterly amazing. Moving on. While stuffing our belly's full of their heavenly Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake, we happened to notice a very, very cute waiter. So we stalked him, from our booth. All we, or I, could discover, is that his name is Noah. So my mother told me I should ask to see his ark. Oh my. The craziness has begun.

Peace out, y'all.
