Global Gauthier's: A Vacation from a Vacation

Hey there everyone! I suppose some of you might read this blog every now and again. I also realize I am approximately 43 days late writing a blog updating on our summer events. We spent about 3.5 months travelling before heading back home to Canada for 1.5 months for a couple of weddings. First was Starlet and Kresten Krogsgaard's wedding early August and that was way too fun and both of us were in the wedding party! The 2 weeks before we were able to re-adjust to being home and help out with wedding preparation. Not before we both got wicked sick in bed for a few days upon our return where we even wondered if we had malaria. Luckily we didn't die. Although we both lost a bunch of weight! I hear you're not supposed to talk to about your wife's weight unless you maybe say "you have a complete of," before that word, so I'll only say I lost about 30 lbs during our few months travelling! None of my cloths fit, even my wedding ring felt bigger! So during our time in Canada, most of it was spent between Weyburn and Winnipeg, with short stays in Regina. In total we made 4 trips there-and-back from Weyburn to Winnieg. We put a good few km's on the Matrix this short summer! We also felt pretty bummy of the summer not working. It's pretty hard to get a job for only 1.5 months when you want 5 weekends off in that time... go figure. So we enjoyed the dream summer spending time with both of our parents, all of our siblings, and many of our friends. Lots of tennis, biking, longboarding, and whatever else you do in Weyburn. Oh ya that was fun getting a staph infection from falling off of my longboard. Which only happened because me and Milessa were double-boarding down a hill, fell, and Milessa landed on top of me which resulted in a solid skid, slide and burn on the pavement instead a graceful roll. 1 Week after my epic bale and light roahrash slight healing, I caught that staph and it wreaked havoc on my forearm, creating some nasty looking boils that only malaria pills (doxycycline) could fix. They're my new miracle drug. I made to get lots of extra for our trip in South America where we need loads of pills for malaria zones. Later in September we spent time in Winnipeg and were blessed to be a part of Amir and Cristen Hamad-Hussein's wedding; so much there too! We were so glad we were able to make it work to be home for both of these weddings! Somehow we managed to not get too used to the comforts of being home and with family and booked a few flights to Europe, where our global adventure continues!
