How close/far away are/were you from your American/Canadian significant other?

I cant believe how pricey that is!

You can find a deal to go to Australia for that.

That is exactly what all of my friends and family say when I suggest they come up for a visit. I think they'd rather see Australia than snow and rocks. After 3.5 years of snow and rocks, I can't say I blame them!

I don't know how many miles it is because it's impossible to drive. I live in Iqaluit, Nunavut and he's near Detroit. Thank goodness he's so far north in the States, or I'd be literally travelling across the continent!

For me I have to take a 3-hour flight to Ottawa, then I can drive or fly to Detroit. It's not cheap, either. Round trip flights from Iqaluit to Ottawa run at approximately $1300.

We grew up less than 2 hours away (I'm from SW Ontario) and I plan to move back to my hometown once the ball gets rolling on our K1.

Where abouts are you? I'll be moving to Ann Arbor.

My fiance used to live in Ypsilanti(not that great of an area).

Now we live in Plymouth....just north of Ann Arbor

Wow, I didn't realize how many Michiganders (or soon to be Michiganders) there are here

J - I've been "training" John to be a Michigan State fan ... his wardrobe is beginning to nicely bleed green and white

There must be something in the air in south eastern Michigan, there seems to be a lot of Canadians migrating there. Hmm, come to think of it, I did smell TimBits in the air. Just kidding.

(Where I live IN Canada there are no Timmies so at least I'll have that back when I move to MI! )

OMG...yeah, you'll have your share of Timmies in Michigan! (thank God, haha).

Isn't it aginst the law to wear Blue in the Lansing-area?

I think I'm supposed to wage war on you now or something. Hehe.

My fiance used to live in Ypsilanti(not that great of an area).

One of my very best friends was from there. She got killed in a car accident last August while Mathew was visiting me.

I remember the first time she told me where she was from when she moved down here to be with her aunt. I was all like "whaaaa? You live WHEREE?" It just sounded like such an odd name for a place. And then she spelled it. Someone must have been under the influence of something when they named that town.

The first time Mathew ever visited me we went to both a UK football and a UK basketball game. You can't be a Kentuckian unless you're insane over UK basketball. Football, meh. Take it or leave it. But he wears his UK shirt a lot when he goes to class. He says that people kept looking at him weird for a while when he wore it. I guess they were wondering why in the world he was wearing that, LOL.

Yep, it's penal code 415 - Disturbing the peace/mutual combat

Just remember, it doesn't matter how you mix it, blue and "maze" always make GREEN! GO GREEN!

Gosh, Kayla ... I am so sorry!

Personally, I would take football over basketball any day

LOL, then you've never seen UK's football team. I mean, they're alright, but compared to the greatness that is our basketball team(especially this year), they aint got nothin on them Cats!!!

However, since we lost BOTH games Mathew attended, "the canadian" is not allowed to go to any more of them. My family takes this verrry seriously,

Question: How do you know if someone went to the University of Michiga?

Answer: You won't even be able to finish the question because they will tell you way before you're able to think of or ask that question Lol

Bwahahahahaaa John thinks he is the MSU good luck charm, as we were at the MSU v UM football game and we wholloped them! w00t!

I just like to watch football more than basketball I guess. I will start watching basketball as we get close to the playoffs/tournaments. I would be shocked if MSU doesn't make it again this year ... all the way to the Final Four baby! Maybe we'll be matched up against UK
