Snowing Trip

Kim and I get away for an appointment/anniversary get away


A tense trip there and home 🏘️

We get going on our trip on Sunday which we got in Calgary away from rush hour and we're leaving before rush hour.  So it made a nice travel.

Most the time a person would go into the ditch would be someone cutting you off then jamming on there breaks. Those times would be when you'd swerve into the ditch.

So less cars the better.

We get staying in a Ramada Hotel only two storeys but there was a huge homeless population coming and going.  We thought there was prostitution happening.  

The hotel put us in the second floor so we wouldnt see it out our door.


But the doors never even locked.  We changed rooms once due to we couldn't see our car.

The heat in the hotel was on full blast and no way to turn it off. So we opened the door periodically on the second floor to let cold air in throughout the night.

And the room wasn't the best.

We were only five minutes away from Foothills hospital.  And it was the cheapest place we could go that was close by.

We stopped in at McDonald's right after Banff trail on 16th.  There was homeless sleeping in the McDonald's with blankets.  Ones got to wonder what the province is doing with with population.  Or what's going on that there not using supports.

We didn't want to go out when we got to our hotel 🏨. 

We order in skip the dishes and doordash. My KFC wasn't the best. Kim enjoyed her meal but no utensils.

Other than that the hospital got us in an hour earlier cause there wasn't much waiting.

And we were back on our way home 🏑 by noon.

Roads were well tense after you got out after Calgary to slow going from Calgary to Nanton.

Then at least the ice stopped but visibility was pretty hard after.  Wind was blowing.


Our whole family wishes us a happy anniversary ❤️❤️πŸ₯³πŸ₯°.


So that made it special, thanks again for all the well wishes.

The traveling was tense and the day rushed but we made it and now trying to eat and shovel before the day is done.


An adventure for sure this snow storm on 2022.




.

I think the roads in Lethbridge are worst than the highway. 

My opinion but visibility is very poor right now on the highway with blowing snow over the highway so when the semis pass when you're driving by them that's when the white out occurs.

The whole reason for the trip and dangerous conditions to be driving is.

Theirs no doctors in Lethbridge for what we need. So a special trip has to happen.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
