Pride!

So my week played out exactly as I had planned. I went to my tour at Mount Saint Vincent on Friday. Kait Lawrence came with me which was a huge support. She could tell I was so extremely nervous because I was rambling like a fool almost the entire tour. The tour guide made me a little nervous I guess you could say. The campus is beautiful though, small and comfortable, and the facilities available to me are great. I'm really excited for that. We had lunch with a current student and I got to ask her a bunch of questions about the program and the school, and as I was finishing my food I checked my email and sure enough I GOT MY ACCEPTANCE letter while still on campus. I had one of those embarassing grins from cheek to cheek for probably two hours. I am so excited to be at a university and get that whole experience too. :) We met up with Anna for supper at Your Father's Moustache and had a good meal, catching up and telling old familiar stories. I stayed at Anna's in Hammond's Plains for the night which was awesome. We watched some movies and just got to have some girl time like we used to. Saturday, oh Saturday, came so early! After a sleepless night at Anna's, as I am coming down with a cold, I had to get up super early to head home in time for the Muir Murray Wine Run. Let me tell ya, it was freezing outside. I was not looking forward to this run!

I picked up my girlfriend Shannon and we headed to the winery where we found like three hundred people and so much excitement, my spirits were instantly lifted. The sound of the gun echoed across the property as did the footsteps going down the trail. We signed up to do 5 kilometers, and it was my first 5 k run ever! I ran almost the entire run, only stopping briefly for walk breaks so I didn't ovetire myself, and of course for the main event, the WINE!

At the water breaks we got thimbles of wine instead, red and white, and I was shocked at the 2.5km mark that we had even gone that far. We finished the race in 40 minutes including the wine breaks. I was so proud of myself, and so grateful for my wonderful friend Shannon who supported me and went the same pace the entire time. Jeremy's mom and her friends were there all dressed in cocktail dresses, just like us. We thought it'd be fun for the race since we got to be so classy sipping wine. It was a blast. Snowflakes and 0 degrees with crazy wind, made for the perfect morning. I headed home and took a nice hott bath, followed by my pajamas and relaxing all day.

What a perfect weekend<3
