As I mentioned before, September is usually the unofficial start of a new year for Eric and I (as opposed to the traditional January 1st). Well today we made it official. This was a great last weekend of the summer, and we finished off by spending and afternoon in the park, setting goals and resolutions for this year. We each set physical, spiritual, financial and educational goals. Then we came together and set one of each for our family unit. We had some really great talks and it was a lot of fun. A great way to end the summer, and kick start this new and exciting season and time.
Eric took me to a place I've never been, here in Calgary. It was the Calgary Olympic Plaza downtown. Calgary hosted the winter Olympics in 1988, so there are lots of neat little monuments and plaques down there, as well as a great view of the Calgary tower, and a cute little fountain.
It also happened to be right off of one of my favourite streets/spots in Calgary. Stephen Ave. (starts out as Eighth Ave.) is almost all walking street, and it is lined with really nice restuarants and a couple of shops. If you're looking for somewhere to eat, that isn't Jack Astor's or something lame, Stephen's is a good spot to check. In fact, Eric and I accidently bumped into a spot I've wanted to show him for a over a year. I was taken on a date here once, a really long time ago, and want to share it with Eric now. It's really good and interesting food, and I knew it was in the bottom of a hotel, but that's all I knew. I found it though, and we will go there soon.
