  So we decided to give Flying Wedge a try..  we went to Quarry Park and ordered 2 pizzas in-person for take-out. First of all, it seemed to take forever!  We left and went to Co-op to kill some time and it still took at least 15 minutes longer than promised to cook our pizzas. We decided to go with the thin crust which is more like regular crust at most other pizza places.. it also had flax seed in it which was intriguing!

So my boyfriend proposed to me last weekend (May 8th)!!!!!  Here is how it all happened! His commentary on the events are in the blue text… We decided to head up to Banff for a romantic weekend.  We booked a room at a hotel and reservations at one of our favourite restaurants. So on Saturday we drove out past Lake Louise to Bow Lake [So I had been planning to propose at Bow Lake for at least a month, and I had no back-up plan].  When we arrived, we discovered the lake was still completely frozen over and everything else was buried under 6 feet of snow. My boyfriend was adamant that we go out to this bridge by the lake to “take some romantic pictures”. As we started towards the path, another couple came by and warned us to stay on the path and that we should be “okay” … Read More →
