.WHAT.A.WEEKEND!.
SO...I started out my whirlwind weekend by watching my amazing sister Sarah run the OLYMPIC TORCH!
HOW SWEET IS THAT??
A once in a lifetime experience. I learned a lot about the torch, anyone interested? I don't care if you arent. MY BLOG....remember?
Everyone knows the history of the Olympics, it brings the world together, starting with ONE FLAME. this tradition has held on for years. the flame starts in Greece... and the Olympics bring it with them all over the world. my sister was part of this journey.
they Passed the flame all over Edmonton
I learned that the flame is kept in 4 separate lanterns, in case something happens to one of them. the flame CANNOT go out.
and the torch...well it isnt THE TORCH. there are literally hundreds of torches. my sister got to buy hers, she will have that momentum forever. before the torch got to her a woman stuck a key in it and turned on the butane tank...
apparently the flame is meant to be in the shape of a half of a maple leaf....what do you think?
we all had a great time in little Beaumont outside of a french school with hundreds of little bi-lingual kids cheering
.GO.CANADA.GO!.
also, it was my BIRTHDAY.
WOW... im 23...OLD!

first off my wonderful gym buddy .K. brought me CAKE (it was the weekend...freedom!) we had that at work, then that night my in-laws came! what a wonderful family, we went shopping and hung out and watched movies... in total T and I ate out 4 TIMES. ugh
