Welcome To The Blog!

The original idea for this trip was a flight to New Brunswick to see my Dad's family for about two weeks. But the idea has evolved into a five week road trip with limited resources and a lot of fun. Call it the "Toner Family Experiment" if you will. Or call it an adventure.

Largonistic

This road trip has been excellent. And more than anything, I feel amazing today! My self-consciousness is just starting to dissolve. I even played Katy Perry songs on Just Dance with my little cousin Enya. Two weeks ago you wouldn't have caught me dead doing that. Okay, not the Katy Perry songs at least (In case you didn't know, Katy Perry is my mortal music enemy). But I'm starting to shed my little girl skin and I'm starting to grow up. And it's pretty dang awesome. I feel smarter and prettier than ever before. Me, smart and pretty? It's actually possible! Shocking, huh? Right.
We stayed at our friends the Weibe's for 2 nights. It was great to see Jaz and Kenzie again. Kenzie's mom, Normay, and my Mom used to push us around town in our baby strollers. It was weird seeing the girls again, but awesome.
Now we're staying with my Uncle Allen, Aunt Margaret, and cousin Enya. Enya is almost seven, and one of the most enthusiastic little girls I know. She never runs out of energy. This is good and bad. She kept me up all night last night (I went to bed at 3:00, but I was tired at 11:30). Then she woke me up at 8:00 sharp. But she's a very sweet kid none the less.
Ah...life is so good. So very good. There's just a feeling of ease and wonder you get when you're with family, in a place where you know nobody's going to judge you or make fun of you (unless playfully, or you actually seriously deserve it).
Well, I have to go play some more Wii Games. Or Enya will pour juice in my hair.
