I still think that #SMTOWN should come to Canada. There's no reason for them not to. Honestly.
Time to make a move, I think. Researching NY, MA, and Canada. Top priorities: healthcare and schools.
@smileforsparks @ZadlynRawr @RishikaLazarus @sanchanamorgan @Letchmann oh I am going to Canada tomorrow:(

FallingLeavesPhotography posted a photo: I kind of have a thing for the show Big Bang Theory lately. It is quite hilarious to me that there are other people out there like my husband and that they have made a T.V. show about them. Carey is not nearly as crazy as the characters on the show however sometimes watching it helps me to understand what is going on in his brain. As long as I don't turn into Amy Ferrah Fowler we are good."Are you willing to draw a mustache on your finger as a conversational ice-breaker?" ~ Amy Ferrah Fowler, Big Bang TheoryHave an interesting day.~Stephanie ©Falling Leaves Photography ~ Stephanie WillisAll Rights Reservedwww.fallingleavesphotography.ca
