Whistler Fun Fact
Q) Where is the highest representation by population of Aussies in the world out side of Australia?
A) Whistler BC.

Trust me, when I say it is ALL Aussies in Whistler, I am not exaggerating. It is totally insane. Whistler is a funny little town, with an international town feel. There is a big distinction between people who have loads of cash and then the backpackers (Brits, Kiwies, Aussies and Quebecians) who obviously are working incredibly hard at crap paying jobs.

Whistler is just like everything you have ever heard about it. It is 30% more expensive than anywhere else in Canada, the population is 75% Aussies. There is something that makes me want to stay here, I think I understand why Allison (my sis) moved there. With most people it is the mountains however there is something else that makes you fall in love with the place. There's a great feeling there. Obviously the whole village is geared to tourists, yet it does not have that horrible over marketed feel that a lot of 'tourist' towns do have. It's open, friendly, absolutely stunning and I can't wait to spend more time there this summer!

Trying to study...

Going out of my mind these days,
Like I am walkin around in a haze,
I cannot think straight, I cannot concentrate,
And I need to shave.
I go to school and I look tired,
I just smile.

Finally the day I have been waiting for ever since I started going to UBC, the last day of classes…if you decide on going, ha, ha! Drinking fragmented beverages (neuromodulators) started at noon and continued till past midnight.

Allison's April Fools Joke
Great news Mom and Dad and Matt!!!

Craig and I got married last night!!

We decided a couple of days ago to elope, so we caught a cheap flight to Vegas yesterday morning and we were married last night at the Elvis Chapel of Love!! Amber came as our witness, so don't worry, it's all legit. After we said our vows and signed the certificate we gambled almost all night - it was such an amazing evening. Not what I had always imagined my wedding day to be, but I'm surprised at how cute the chapel was and how organized they are at setting up last minute weddings. I've saved the veil and bouquets. I'm sorry that you weren't there for our special day, but we're going to have a reception this summer with family and friends so that we can all celebrate our union then. I wish that you could have been there, it was so beautiful - I know that this is probably all coming as a huge shock to you, but I know that you'll be happy for us.

We're going to stay in Vegas the rest of the weekend and have a little honeymoon and play the slots, but we'll be back Sunday night as Amber and I both have to work Monday morning. Our flight gets in at 10pm though, so we won't have time to stop in at home and say HI, but we'll be seeing you both soon when we come home for the Sun Run. I'll call sometime Monday when we get back.

Have a great weekend Mom and Dad, I sure am!!

Love you,

Alli and Craig
