I had the opportunity this past weekend to fly to Canada to visit my Very Best Friend in the entire world. We had a blast! We stayed up talking all night every night that I was there. We had a lot of laughs, no sleep and way too much fun!
We got to go to a Hockey Game while I was there. We had box seats that were right on center Ice. After the game we went out for wings with some of her friends which we had soooo much fun! We sat in the restaurant until one in the morning talking.

On Saturday we went under the bridge and ate French Fires and Gravy. I didn't think the french fries and gravy would be very good, but it was actually really yummy! This Bridge that you see is the bridge the goes right into the U.S. She lives right on the Border of Michigan.
This is my Friend Krista and her two kids Rylee and Bosten. They were so cute and I had so much fun spending the weekend with them.
The craziest part of all came on Sunday when we went to Church. Let me back up a little and give a little bit of History. Krista just moved back to Canada as a single mom. Since she has been there the Missionaries have been a lot of help to her. Trying to get her back on her feet, she recently just moved into her own place and had the missionaries help her move in just two weeks ago. So before I came to visit she told me that she was going to have the missionaries over on Sunday for dinner as a Thank You for helping her move in. I though well that's cool and it will be fun.., Well after Sacrament meeting got over I was getting ready to walk out of the chapel and I see Krista talking with the Missionaries and low and behold it was my COUSIN!!! I thought NO WAY. What are the odds that he was "The Missionary" she had been talking about. It is such a small world. It was soooo great to see him and how amazing it was to know that he had been the one that she had been talking about this whole time. The most wonderful thing about it all was the fact that he was able to give her and her kids blessings that night. It was an amazing feeling...You could feel the spirit present that night. I am so glad that I was able to be there and witness him there doing the Lords work and helping out my Friend.

Well to end it I had to get a picture of where her parents lived. This picture was taken standing in their driveway. If you look close you can see water through those trees. That is the Saint Clair River which borders Michigan and Canada. In fact when crossed the Saint Clair River on a little Ferry when we came into Canada and when we left. So you can look across into the states from her parents house. I AM SOOOO GLAD I went. I missed Clint and my kids but it was nice to get away for a bit. I can't wait until next time when we can get together and laugh all day and all night long.
