My List of Firsts

Something I like to do every summer is reflect on the things I've done in the past school year. I make notes throughout the months of things I've done for the first time. And even though summer has passed now and I've fallen off the blogging bandwagon pretty hard, this year has been an exciting one!

It's the first time I've
- Had a mud fight

- Ate chicken and waffles (it was at the Sugar Bowl and I had heard people RAVING about it...did not blow my socks off)
- Tried head cheese (the ever most tiniest amount. Garlicky)
- Been to a U of A basketball game
- Graduated from post secondary
- got food from a food truck
- Bought a car
- Gotten engaged
- made bread successfully
- Sent my food back ( Usually I'm a no fuss girl. But I went to a 50's diner and paid for an overpriced burger. When it came it was burnt pretty badly. And I sent it back!! I felt so bad but empowered at the same time!)
- Been to taste of Edmonton (out of the 4 years I have lived in Edmonton I have never been to this event. I loved it!)
- Got Married
- Learned to play Nertz (A really intense card game I learned at Arland's family reunion. I'm no good, but addicted)
- Got laser eye surgery

-Planted a garden of my very own
- Climbed Golden Ears. Now I tried my very best but I could not make it to that peak. We were only about and hour and a half away but I was exhausted. 22km and 13 hours later I called it a day.

- Seen the Tempest. I've never read it and it was my first time seeing it. But I think it was my favorite Shakespeare (I've now seen Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream (x2), Twelfth Night, A Comedy of Errors and the Tempest.)
