Kapuskasing

So im back from my trip to Ontario! It started out with a beautiful drive from Ontario Wisconsin up to ThunderBay Ontario. I had an "interesting" talk with Steven and Stephannie and had an amusing time watching Stevens little dance; he certainly kept us entertained to say the least. That night we stayed at the Brundages and went out for lunch to Boston Pizza with Caitlin! From there we drove to Kapuskasing and arrived at Stephannies parents house around 9pm. Matt showed up an hour later (yaaaay) safe and sound. I was freaking out about him driving that much on his bike but he got their in one peice so I was happy haha. That night I met Matts mum Claudine who is so cute and totally sweet (must run in the family.) The next morning Robb and Angele (matts sister and brother-in-law) showed up and we pretty much spent most of the week with them. They were both so much fun so I really enjoyed getting to know them. Melina arrived on Wed night I believe it was and it was really nice finally getting to meet her after chatting on facebook. We had lots in common so we got along well, its just a shame she had to leave so soon after Kimball and Jasmins wedding. There isnt all that much to do in Kapuskasing but we rented alot of movies (I think we pretty much saw every new release of the last month or two haha) ate ice cream at "the circle", went for a few walks, went to the Bechards trailer at twin lakes for a bbq and swimming, climbed the rocks at the dame and played LOTS of games (stupid curse of the six!!!) Overall I had a wonderful time in Kapuskasing and I was sad to leave everyone there.

From there Matt and I drove to ThunderBay which is about a 6 or 7 hour drive (depending on how fast you go) We stayed at the Brundages the whole weekend. The main thing we had to do was find Matt a place to live which was no easy task. The guy he was planning to rent from turned out to be really shady and the place didnt look so hot either so thankfully Matt got out of that one. We found him a place about 20 minutes away from the Uni and it was recently renovated so it looked pretty decent (at least compared to the last place) so he ended up taking that one. He can rent on a month to month basis so that was the awesome thing. We spent alot of time at the Brundages cabin out on lake Superior which was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I loved it there. We had camp fires and went swimming and just sat outside enjoying nature. Matt and I also went for a walk around the Lakehead grounds, so it was nice to see where he would be spending a majority of his time for the next 8 months or so. Oh and we also rented Charlie and the Chocolate Factory since Matt hadnt seen it. Only problem is that he and I fell asleep watching it the first night so we decided to watch the rest the next night; then he fell asleep AGAIN! Then... on Monday I had to say goodbye, which I was pretty much dreading. The night before it took all I had in me not to just start crying but I managed to hold it together haha. I told Matt I couldnt handle out a long drawn out goodbye so thankfully that made it a bit easier. I always seem to find it hardest once i pass through the gates... maybe cause once im through there I know im not gonna see him again for a while. Anyways, I'll get to see him at Thanksgiving... another 4 weeks!!!
