Vancouver and Iraq

I went to Vancouver last weekend to a dear friend's wedding. It was a beautiful, simple wedding. I got to hang out with her family, run Stanley Park Seawall and make a new friend. My flight got cancelled so I got to spend an extra day, but at the cost of teaching an entire day after a red-eye. Then, this weekend I finished up a class I'm taking for my certification, which was a complete relief. Then, we had a bon voyage party for my two cousins who are off to Iraq one tomorrow and one next week. Last night was fun but bittersweet. My one cousin has a three-month old girl. My computer is about to run out of battery, so this is my brilliant entry.
