City of Champions
December 19, 2016
It was weird being in Edmonton for a whole month. Having that amount of time reaffirmed that Edmonton is no longer my home, but I miss it dearly. It’s weird to have this place that is full of everything I love, but is also a place I can’t seem to fit back into. Our month there was full of wonderful things like hangouts with my family, my best friend’s wedding, and catching up with old friends.
Now for a collection of my most favourite things about Alberta/Edmonton.
