A Renewed Point of View.

Yesterday Phil and I went to his friend's wedding in Chatham. His friend's name is Jeff and Jeff was Phil's roommate in his first year of University at Brock (please note: this post is not related to a change in perspective on "Brock University", haha). Jeff also happens to be from Phil's hometown and so many of the wedding guests were from Northern Ontario, too. (I know what my Peterborough readers are thinking right now). Anyways, this post is actually a SHOCKING realization that "Northern boys" may ACTUALLY be really super, handsome, friendly, and all-around GREAT - as opposed to "that idea" we've all had of them before. (Now, I REALLY know what my Peteborough readers are thinking right now). Okay girls, hear me out. You too, Dana.

Every "Northern" friend I was introduced to last night was a true gentleman. Besides many great conversations of mutual talking and listening, we were given hugs and best wishes, offered places to stay, and surprised with a larger-than-we-thought "Pearl Curriculum" fanbase. The fact that most of them are Detroit fans doesn't even bother me, because their personalities make up for this little shortcoming. From meeting them, I can see why Phil loved his school days so much and why he is eager to make the long drive to Sault Ste Marie and Thunder Bay next summer.

Anyways, to the readers we weren't previously aware of - I am sorry for misjudging you Northern folk in the past. It was a pleasure to meet you and I am excited to learn more about you next summer! And to my single ladies, GO NORTH! Dana and (in less than one week) Sara - your positioning is already PERFECT!
