The 'Drive' heads WEST!

Tomorrow marks the start of a Western swing for 'The Drive to 25'. We are sooo excited!! We are headed to Edmonton for our cousin's wedding this weekend and then make our way to Vancouver (our home away from home) for 10 days! It'll be so nice to spend time with family that we don't get to see very often - our family has done of good job of 'speading out' across Canada, making it difficult to get everyone together. That's the best part about weddings: family time :)

We have a couple of things planned for our Vancouver chapter of the trip. We have our skydiving adventure all booked, including a videographer to capture every moment! At this point we have mixed emotions - partly excited but also terrified!!! We're keeping the date under wraps for now...our Mom has stated that she'd rather know AFTER we've gone, so she's not worrying for days. We will certainly update on this risky experience as soon as we can - we'll have lots to say about it for sure!

We will also be going on a hot air balloon ride, which is super exciting! We're looking forward to gliding over one of the most beautiful and scenic cities in the world! Better have our cameras ready....

On top of everything, we're just looking forward to a change of scenery, to seeing friends and family, and to new adventures! Who knows what else might come along...? We're open and ready for anything!

Stay tuned!

***UPDATE - as of today, we have raised.....$1608.35 towards our Reading Room in Laos. Still a ways from the $5000 we need, but we're making progress :) Thanks to everyone who has donated and contributed to our campaign so far - we are so appreciative and grateful - THANK YOU!
