Fun with Mark & Brie!
Sorry for the belated update. Apparently blogger hates me and my many pics. But here it is, what Mark and I have been up to for the past ten days!

Last Tuesday I awoke at 4:15 am to meet Mark at the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.


But his plane got in 50 mins early so he was waiting for me when I got there.


Like all amazing boyfriends, Mark brought me presents!


My new Oakley Dart sunglasses.

Mark also brought his new digital camera with him, which I am planning to steal before he goes back to Canada. So far we have done a lot of shopping and sight seeing. We've also had time to check out the Sex Museum on Wednesday.



Mark quickly realized that Diemen is just as fun as Amsterdam, and is now also a fan
of "the Crib".
So we went for a steak dinner with Vinny and Dan on Thursday.


Sanna met up with us later, followed by Salla, Jenny and Johan.

On Friday, we managed to keep the partying costs to a minium by hanging out in the kitchen in the Blue Building, floor 10.

Saturday was the best day by far. Mark and I took the tram to the Heineken Museum.








It was also our five year anniversary.


To celebrate we booked a dinner cruise through the Amsterdam canals.




On Sunday, Linda made us all an Italian dinner, her grandmother's recipie, with lots of garlic.


We had to steal the table from Dan's kitchen so there would be room for all 13 of us.

Dinner was so good that I forgot to keep taking pictures. . .

The rest of the week Mark, Dan and I have been shopping more and seeking out new cool places in the city.

We found this boat.


And I found a new labret for myself.
(Labret is the name of the jewlrey used for my piercing)


So far it's been a blast with Mark here! But GOTT Amsterdam is still to come, along with our trip to Scotland next week!!

Brie,

I'm ridiculously jealous that you are going to Scotland. I am requesting a souvernir, preferably in the Cameron family clan tartan variety of things. Or, better yet, I want to see you two one-up the game of GOTT I played with the bagpipers in Ottawa. (This was the second time in my life that 8 years of dance lessons proved handy.)

I'm going to London this weekend with Alice for homecoming (which I thought was something that only happened in the southern United States and really band teen movies staring Jason Bigs or whatever his name is). I might possibly be crazy. I'm also planning on being clad entirely in purple and telling everyone that I'm a Western business student majoring in marketing and minoring in AWESOME.

XOXO

You will in fact be receiving a souvenir from Scotland! But I don't know about one-upping you on that GOTT bagpipes edition . . . you know I can't highland dance like you can! Say HI to London for me. Actually my Uncle Rob and Aunt Karen are in London right now for homecoming and my uncle's Ivey reunion. If you girls need anything just call my parents! LOL They would love to see you!! Now pretending you are from Western is one thing, just don't turn into one of those "Western girls" k? We all know what they can be like . . .

Kisses
