Thanks to the Queen!!

In Canada, the celebration of Victoria Day occurs every year on Monday, prior to May 25th. It is the official celebration in Canada of the birthdays of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. Victoria Day was established as a holiday in Canada West (Now Ontario) in 1845, and became a national holiday in 1901. Before Victoria Day became a national Holiday, people had celebrated Empire Day , beginning in the 1890s as Victoria approached her Diamond jubilee in 1897.

Thanks to Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth I was able to have a little break from the regular routine of coming to work, which by the way I am getting so sick of. I was able to wake up late, go for an extra long run; stopping at Kristi and Jared's for a little game of football and soccer with the little boys, did laundry, went grocery shopping, and bought a new pair of runners...now I don't have to suffer through my runs anymore. Played a little volleyball last night at FHE and ended the evening with a well needed hot tub!! Who could ask for better?!
