I'm back in Edmonton

Well people, I'm finally here. I'm excited to be back too. I miss my friends back in Kingston as well as those in other places, and I especially miss Amber. She did very well to survive the road trip with me. The final count on my odometer was 5180 km from her front door in Kingston to my house in Nanton. Good trek. We camped along the way, except for the first night. Mostly cloudy weather for driving but we did get a nice sunny Wednesday to spend poking around South Dakota. We saw Mount Rushmore the night before all lit up. In the morning we went for a hike by Sylvan Lake to the top of Harney Peak. It's the highest point of land east of the Rocky Mountains and west of the Piranese Mountains in Europe. Our legs were killing us the next day. We also stopped for a while in Deadwood, which was once the home of Wild Bill. Late Thursday night we pulled into my cabin in Montana and stayed there until Monday wakeboarding, sailing, floating in the water, soaking in the hot tub, or lying around in the cabin reading. Then it was off to Nanton!

I think I should let Amber give the description of Nanton as it's hard for me to do cuz...well, it's Nanton. I spent quite a bit of time with Amber for the next week and a half. I've never felt closer to her. We did many different things but the best part was just being with her. She did get a few days up at her sister's place in Calgary for a cupcake break. I dropped her off at the airport two days ago at 5:30 in the morning. I was sad to see her go but we both managed to keep the feelings in until after I watched her pass through security. I missed her immediately and haven't really stopped thinking about her since. It's hard starting conversations with my friends here because everything I want to say starts off with "Amber and I...". I'm going to have to plan a nice weekend to fly out to Vancouver and see her. And yes, I'll see the rest of y'all too. Chris, we're going for a ride in your RX-7 okay buddy? I think we're going to try a trip out to the lake today. Sounds like it might be a crowded cabin but I think we'll be okay. I miss everybody, and once I get my computer in my room hooked up to the internet I'll start talking to the rest of you. I'll even take some time to fix this freaking website. I was on the road when Blogger changed their template. So have a great long weekend people, I'll be back in a couple days. Peace! Miss you Amber.
