Prayers

As you may already know, my dad was involved in a very serious train accident recently. Thank you to all of the friends and family who have shown support and love. Your thoughts, prayers and encouragement are much appreciated and mean the world to me.

Calgary, from the air!

Taking pictures distracted me from the bumpy airplane ride over the Rocky Mountains.  Enjoy the beautiful scenery!

Portland and Calgary

I really enjoy travelling for work.  The opportunity does not present itself often, but when it does, I enjoy it. 
This month, I got to go to Portland for a Pacific Northwest MBA Fair.  The best part was not the fair, but the visit with Abby and Mike.  Even though it was brief, it was wonderful to catch up with them and trade notes on the Financial Peace University course.  I also got to tour Abby's work, visit Powell's Books and walk around the city.  It was just lovely.  Sorry that I don't have any pictures to share from that trip, other than this one of King Street Station in Seattle.  Really loving the work they've done to it in restoration.  This is the entry way.

Thank you, Abby and Mike, for hosting me!
Presently, I am in Calgary at an advising conference in a *beautiful* hotel with heated ceramic tile floors in the bathroom.  It's the little things that I marvel over :)  I am quite certain that I will enjoy the king sized bed all to myself and the 18th floor pool & jacuzzi overlooking the city!

I had some down time to explore the city a bit today.  Shall I say "BRRRR".

An ice skating rink downtown...

The Calgary Tower

Hoping for a productive and educational conference tomorrow :)

Tulips!

I can't remember how I stumbled across this blog, but I just love today's post: http://24corners.blogspot.com/2011/03/only-one-month.html.  These are some of the most beautiful tulip pictures I've ever seen. 
Reminds me of Tyler and I's rainy visit to the tulip fields last year, only my pictures werent so impressive. 

Have a great day!
