So, Andrea over at The Travels of A Wandering Mind agreed to fill my space over my vacation.  And I am super excited, because she is awesome at it!  So read what she thinks about Canada, and then head on over and check her out! Why I Love Canada 1. Kim– How could you not love her! Although I have never met her in person, I feel like she is my friend. She is the first blog friend I met and I’m glad I did for several reasons. I will just list one though. She is a military wife. Of course we here in America have military personnel as well, but they all seem so far removed from my day life. Some days I even forget there are men and women sacrificing their significant parts of their lives for my freedom and safety. It is good to hear an insider what it’s like. It is an excellent reminder of how blessed I am to live where I do and the way I do. 2. Hockey– I do live in North Carolina, but I’m originally from Illinois. Hockey is “USA” big there. Not like in Canada, but it is popular by US standards. I love this fast paced sport for talented individuals. Some in the US say it is too confusing. I think they just need to pay attention. I love how whole-heartedly Canada gives itself to this sport. I have a t-shirt that says, Hockey is Canada on the front and Canada is Hockey on the back. It was a Team Canada shirt from an Olympics. This seems to be the best catchphrase. I am never upset to see Canada win international tournaments. You guys created…
