Manitoba

Prairie sky

My dad was born in Alberta and grew up in Manitoba.
Long before Toronto became my home, my early Canadian story took place between Saskatchewan and Manitoba. My aunt Susan and uncle Wes have had a cabin in Clear Lake, Manitoba since before I was even born.   I have some vague and some distinct memories of the cabin, the lake, the little town, and my whole family there.  This summer my cousin Jon who's been living in Asia for about 10 years and who I have not seen for about 8 of those was coming back to the lake and so a little family reunion was in order.

We spent our days going for hikes, swimming, biking, canoeing, eating and just catching up with everyone while trying to create new memories.  I have my last two exams of my undergrad this week so I was only able to go for a few days, but the break was necessary and seeing my family made me extremely happy! I am so grateful to have such a beautiful extended family full of Nedens, Gordons, and now Schuberts.

Next up I'm finishing my undergrad at the University of Toronto, turning 22, and then September 2nd I'm off to Europe!! Lots of updates to come...

Seriously though, that prairie sunset (amazing!!)
