This weekend I went to Barrie to visit with Paul, and then from there we went to Toronto for a quick follow-up to a funeral. It is unfortunate that it was under such sad circumstances we were all brought together, but I did have a nice time meeting Paul's family - even some of his family from Japan were there - and get to know them a little bit more. We also had some delicious sushi and other japanese cuisine!
From Toronto, Paul and I went to Burlington to celebrate my friend Chelsey's birthday. Chelsey and I were friends back in 1999 before my family and I moved to Southampton. We had stayed friends for a couple of years after that, but things unfortunately fizzled out over time. Last year, we were able to meet up and are good friends again. She is actually also engaged, and I am one of her bridesmaids. I am so grateful that she is in my life again and I feel honoured that, although our time apart, she still considers me a best friend. Here is a picture of Chelsey, me, and Katie (the maid of honour) from Chelsey's birthday party last year:
I have also been very busy with class. I only have two weeks left and have 4 studio projects, a research essay, and final document and presentation due. I am so excited to have it all done!
