Happy Canada Day!
Today, I celebrated Canada Day as well as my 21st birthday. It’s been a great day. My parents took me out to dinner, I went to a movie, ate some cake, and Cole surprised me and came home to see me on my birthday. When I talked to Cole earlier during the week, he told me that he wasn’t going to be able to be here today because he had to work and that made me a bit sad but he decided to come after he got off of work and that was great. It’s good to have him home.
Another thing that made this day so special (besides having Cole home) was the fact that it is Canada Day. Canada Day is pretty much just like the American’s 4th of July. The birth of Canada as a nation took place on July 1st, 1867. So Canada is now 140 years old and that makes Canada 119 years older than me. Not that it really matters but anyways. I’ve always been a fan of Canada for reasons I’m not even aware of. A couple of years ago I went up to Winnipeg on July 1st to celebrate with the Canadians and to see what it was like. That was pretty fun. After I graduated from high school I went to college up in Otterburne, Manitoba for a year and that was a life changing experience. I have some good memories in Canada and I plan to go back someday because Canada is a great country and I miss it!
When I started writing this blog it was still Canada Day, but now it’s after midnight so I guess my birthday is over which means I won’t have to hear people asking me those ridiculous questions about wether or not I’m going to drink on my 21st, milestone birthday. If any of those people asking those questions really knew me they wouldn’t of even had to ask. The Bible really isn’t clear on this issue. It doesn’t say that drinking is totally wrong and it doesn’t say that it is ok either so I’m just going to play it safe and stay away from that stuff.
O Canada (the National Anthem)
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all they sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
If you want to listen to it, give me a call and I’ll play it on the piano for you and depending on who you are, I might even sing it for you! Happy Canada Day Everyone!
Tip Of The Day:
Read the book before you watch a movie that is based on a book because more than likely, the movie will be different than the book and I hate it when that happens.
I only know “Oh Canada” from the national anthem lol. Didn’t there use to be a cartoon called “Oh Canada” back in the day? lol Happy July 2!!
Cute Calley! It is nice to have someone else who updates their blog!
