Step One: Saskatoon, the weekend before

So it starts....
I'm done school. My husband came home. We saw my parents, his parents, new babies, old babies, big kids, little kids. We had an awesome date night, bought a bunch of stuff for my big trip and a mask for this little one. Whoa, sounds like I'm ready? Not even close!!! ha ha

I'm in Saskatoon, my inaugural trip to beautiful SK! for a nursing conference. I hold this fancy title of Official Delegate to the CNSA (Canadian Nursing Students Association) which is awesome - ask me sometime if you're interested in knowing more about it - I love this stuff!

We got in late last night and had a celebratory pint (or two) and then took part in an awesome meeting this morning. Now I rest and wait to meet up with an old friend Dan-YELL! from my days in Travel School circa 2003. Tomorrow the exciting conference learning happens with workshops and motivating speakers, did I mention I love this stuff? I do, I think nursing is amazing it the way it makes me feel like I actually CAN change the world! After the conference, but before the masquerade ball I am looking forward to getting together with another travel friend Marla and her partner for a quick but much needed catch-me-up on our lives.

I'm so lucky to be able to have this weekends experiences and motivation to launch me off into the BIGGEST journey yet! I leave in six days.... holy moly!! Can't wait! (but not until i'm packed ;)
