We got home early afternoon on Thursday. My mom had a bbq for us in the evening. My Parents adore my SO they get along so well. It's funny though he said to me after that my Dad was talking to him about cars and all he could do was nod cause he knows nothing about them...but they both love beer so it evens out. We just chilled out the rest of the night, it was really nice to sleep in a bed.

Friday I took him down town where there was a street performers festival. We watched one show and then got some mini donuts and went for a walk. He doesn't like our downtown. It isn't like Europe where it is the centre of everything. It is our business core, the city is trying to revitalize it but it will never be Europe. We decided to go see a movie. This is the End, it was not what I was expecting but funny. I'll never look at Michael Cera the same way again. I fell asleep during most of the movie though.

After we went for dinner to this new little hipster place. I decided I would try out all these new places to convince my SO that where I live isn't actually that bad. He was impressed by it and the food was good. We went to a couple places for drinks afterwards which I think he also enjoyed.

Saturday we went to the shopping ave where they had an art walk where people could sell and display their art. We saw these two paintings, one of the Canadian flag and one of the Union jack. They were super nice kinda dingy painted but looked awesome I thought it would be so cool to get them and eventually hang them in a future house but they were $150 each. I know the girl though actually who painted them, She works at the ski hill I do. So I am almost thinking I should get in touch with her and see if I can offer something a little less for the two.

Some of the art was really good, some was really bad. All was was to expensive for my wallet. We stopped for lunch in a beer hall which my SO loved...score 2 for Canada! We stopped by my Grandparents for a short visit. It was good to see them and they were thrilled to see my SO. That evening my parents were out so we made dinner at home and watched a movie.

On Sunday we went to see the body worldsexhibit at the science centre. It was really fascinating. It really hit on the fact you are going to die and that there are things you can do to live longer and healthier. I left feeling like I should run everywhere and only eat salads from not on. It went on saying things about once in your mid twenties your collagen and stuff stop being so supple and you start declining...that made me feel old.

My Grandparents came over for a bbq with my parents and my sister and her Bf. Later that night we met up with a girl I'd met through the bride and the one who my SO had gone for beers with between ceremony and reception. She is super nice and she invited me to go hiking overnight in a couple weeks. It made my SO very jealous and I think thats another tick on the why he should come to Canada. We also went to a place that had like 50 different beers so he liked that too.

This morning I took him to the airport. I surprised myself by crying when he left. This trip has been really good for the most part. He said that we'd figure things out and he plans to come visit at Christmas and go snowboarding. I don't know if I got upset over how unsure everything is this time or the fact that we actually had a good time that hasn't happened in a while or that i'm scared that out or sight will mean doubts in mind but we hugged for quite a while before he left. I even had an email from him before he took off saying not to be sad and how much he loved me.

I think this trip was good for us. I still have doubts in the back of my mind but at the moment they are very far back there and hopefully thats where they'll stay.
