BRRRrrrrrrrr......

Hi!

Well I am home safe and sound after an awesome trip home to London, On CANADA!  I have to make a confession.  Before traveling home this time I knew I missed my family and friends at home, but underestimated how much I missed the city itself, the culture and the climate.  Being able to say "eh!" and "toque and mitts" without having to explain myself was quite comforting.  Thats in addition to being fully pampered by mom and dad, aunts and uncles and grandparents all week.  I visited with lots of family and got to see my little cousin Katie who is almost two.  She amazed me as usual.  I also got to meet my new cousin Nathan!  What a sweetheart.  What I would give to squeeze his big cheeks right now!  
At the end of the week I raced in the Canadian XC Championships and it was quite a success.  I felt very relaxed and confident throughout the 7k race and couldn't have hoped for a better ending to a great trip! 
Thanks to all who pampered me and came to cheer me on at my race.  I would argue I had the biggest fan base woot! woot!

Love you all,

Chantelle

Chantelle, I'm not gonna lie... I was VERY upset to hear that you had traveled about 5,000 miles closer to me than normal WITHOUT even letting me know. We were only a 6 hour drive apart and I had no idea! Who do you think you are?! Okay, okay, the reality is...we probably would not have seen each other even if you had told me, and it would have made it all that more disturbing. You were right. That being said, I am SOOO proud of you!!! Denny and I watched the race online, and we were yelling when we saw that cute little Aunty Chanty run we know so well. You are a hot momma (okay, not a momma, just hot...hurry it up already!) and I am so excited for your success! I love you and miss you SOOO much! Love, old Mrs. Flanny from Montreal
