canada's game, vancouver's canucks

On the fifteeth we were lucky enough to sit lower bowl for a Canucks playoff game. There is so much in that sentence that makes me happy. We never sit that close anymore, back when we didn't get to go to too many games we always did, but we go to a lot now and we'll flying cheap and buying cheaper tickets enables that. I loved so much about that night. That I got to share it with my favourite person in the world was very much the top of that list. Okay. It's not even remotely cool to say that about your sister? I know that, but it's true. Built in best friend and the rest of all the lame sappy greeting card things about sister's aside, it really is true for us and I love that. We got to sit and watch our favourite team, in one of our favourite cities, wearing our favourite jerseys, having eaten yummy food, and had an amazingly fun flight there, watched our team so up close, and watched them win, and best of all we got to do it together. Thumbs up all around!

We made this sign in a restaurant before the game. Kind of a little amused that we were at one ocean and they were on the opposite end of the country at the other ocean. Yes there are more than to, but whatever for our purposes I'm being less specific. ;p There's better pictures of us that I took that night and that she took too, all up on facebook, but this one just sums up so much for our lives.

For me I've stood at GM Place and sang O Canada loud and proud and sang it with no anthem singer when Mark Donnelly asks us too, but I've never felt so much pride and so much happiness as doing it on Wednesday. One of those we are all Canucks moments. I've been having a lot of them lately. We probably won't get to another playoff game. Timing wise it's hard and my god they only get more expensive as time goes on, but that one game... it'll be a long time before anything matches up to that. A long time.
