We visited my parents the second weekend of March and had a good time with them. We played games, visited, ate yummy food, and even took a drive out to Waterton. I forgot that the park isn't open during the off-season but it was still interesting to see how much snow they had! It was nuts! They had a TON of it!
After our drive to Waterton, my dad took us for an excursion to a Hutterite colony. It was pretty neat since I've never seen one before. Basically, they have everything they need in a little community. The women make meals all day while the men farm and do the business aspect. They even have their own schools where all the children learn. I must say, it's pretty impressive what they're able to accomplish all on their own.
We had a fun time with my parents but, as we always do, we had to go home and go back to work and real life again. Yuck.
Although March was full of work, I got to have some fun as well. I got a haircut and bought some new dresses and maxi-skirts that I can use all summer to lounge in or wear to church. I was pretty happy with the deals I got. A dress, two skirts, two t-shirts, two bracelets, two necklaces, two scarves for $75?! Yes please!
St. Patrick's Day
I wasn't originally scheduled to work on St. Patty's Day, but when I got called in for overtime, I had to be festive somehow. I put on the one and only green shirt I own, put some bright green eyeshadow (I do what I want!) and had some Lucky Charms for breakfast. That was about all the St. Patrick's Day spirit I could muster.
$1.50 Slurpee Refill Day
I never realized how much I loved slurpees until, for one day only, it cost only $1.50 to fill up any glass you wanted from home at 7/11. You could literally bring a pitcher and fill it up for $1.50 if you wanted to. I grabbed one of our large theatre cups, I chose Spiderman, and hustled over to 7/11 to get my sugar rush. I'm pretty sure my co-workers were all jealous of my giant slurpee when I showed up to work that evening with a litre of awesomeness.
Arcade Day with Jason
On March 27th, Jared, his brother Jason and I headed out to Cross Iron Mills mall to play at the arcade while on the way to Airdrie for the weekend. Arcades are always fun and bring out the inner child in you. We played a racing game, a basketball shoot-out (which I won!), skeet-ball, Big Buck Hunter, and a bunch of others. We cashed in our tokens afterwards for some candy and some sheriff badges (which literally broke that day). Oh well, it was all in fun! I'm just glad I got a Ring Pop!
March was a fun month! I'll post about our half marathon and second ultrasound next.
