I'm still having problems uploading pictures... so that's why it's all text and no visual elements!I'm slowly getting things ready for my big move on Friday. I've ordered my internet (max 2 weeks wait), figured out my tv license, electricity, when I can pick up my key, found a truck to move my things and filled out all the moving forms that have to be handed in tomorrow.I'm pretty busy this week - today I have to work and finish getting all my school stuff organised. I start classes on Friday and I still need to buy my books. Wednesday, Mia convinced...

August, 28th, 2006HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN! Today is Nathan's birthday and I wish I was there to celebrate with him. He's a super cool guy and a great friend! Unfortunately, I think blogger is plotting against me, wanting to make my blog-life full of frusterations so I am unable to post a photo tribute to dear Nathan right now. Maybe he should consider himself lucky... (no, I would be nice and wouldn't post anything mean!!)Nathan, have a great birthday and thank you for a wicked summ...

I hope blogger is working better now because I want to post some of the pictures I have from my last week in Victoria.I'm doing alright back in DK. I went drinking with a friend and it turned into a late night. Oh well, I couldn't sleep anyways at night so it didn't make much difference that I was out all night. I had a meeting today regarding the youth club and "my kids" and that went ok. I love working with teenagers and the meeting was pretty important for our new season. We don't start until October but it is nice to get a head start on ideas...

I don't know why I'm so unlucky with blogger. I can't upload most of my pictures and these are the only ones I could upload for now... Sorry! I'm back in DK now - it's 4am and I can't sleep. I went to bed at around 11pm and then woke up at 2:45am, wide awake. I thought it was later in the morning, so I got up and turned on the computer. Nope, it's still in the middle of the night and now I'm being a computer geek. I'm doing alright. I basically just...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back in DK and the flight went ok. It was a long trip and now I'm really feeling really shitty and just want to sleep. Mia picked me up at the airport and had a DK flag with her - too cute!!I'll write more later, maybe not tomorrow but definitely soon. I miss all you wacky Canuck...

Last night here in Canada. Tomorrow at this time, I will be somewhere in the air on my way to Amsterdam. At least I hope so - Vancouver Airport security people are striking tomorrow so I really don't know if that'll affect my flight. Cross your fingers, people. It's not because I'm in a hurry to leave Canada but spending time at the airport wasn't exactly my idea of fun.I have said many goodbyes today and I'm quite sad right now. Yes, I am a bit of a baby when it comes to saying goodbyes but as Glenda mentioned earlier this evening, this time is...

August 22, 2006 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEEDEE! I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy your trip to Hawaii on Thursday. Take lots and lots of pictures!! Here is a little photo tribute to my dearest Deedee. (don't worry, I won't post any naughty pictures of you)I love the expression on Deedee's face - she's thinking "Oh Yeah, I'll drink to that" whereas Glenda is like "Oh my god, please go away". Here's Deedee with her very beautiful daughter, Emma....

Dad is sleeping on the chair, Mom is playing around on her computer and Chris is also busy doing something on the computer and here I am - on the computer...(I have loads of pictures to add to this post but blogger is acting up and won't accept any of my uploads.)I'm actually pretty tired. It was a busy weekend, seeing my friends for the last time and picking up last-minutes goods at the local Walmart. Glenda and I can go crazy at Walmart but I think I actually behaved this time. No shoes. (But I was tempted!!)Friday, I met up with an old friend,...

Mom, Dad, JC and I took the boat up-island and stayed at Cowichan Bay for a night. This was the first time that we slept on the boat and it was a good trip. We even had the dogs with us and they seemed to do alright. The sun was shining but unfortunately, there wasn't much wind on our trip back to Goldstream so we had to motor it most of the way. I got really sleepy on the trip back to Goldstream and I guess Spencer did too. We had a nice long nap....

My mom, Allison and I went to Seattle for a couple of days to meet up with my aunt, Stritte. Four girls just doing our own thing - shopping, walking, eating and a whole lot of laughs. Thank you Mormor and Bebba for making that happen. I haven't seen Stritte in around 12 years and it was definitely a couple of days I'll always remember. We found a really cool bar/restaurant that was open 24hrs. The waitresses were tattoo'd from head to toe, the cook...

Hey everyone! I am slowly getting pictures up from Glenda and Nathan's wedding plus my trip to Seattle but it's taking freaking forever and now I need to go to bed! I'm going sailing with my parents and my brother tomorrow for the weekend and will finish putting all the pictures up when I get back Sunday.Things are all good here. My brother and I just relaxed today - we were tired - and talked all afternoon about nothing and everything. Our very old neighbours from around 13 years ago dropped by today for a surprise visit - Frankie and Sam. That...

Before the bridesmaids and Glenda walks in, the groomsmen and Nathan gathered at the doorway, getting ready to take their places. Chris walks in first and he does actually look slightly nervous. Steve was next, then Dan and then Nathan's older brother, Adrian. This would have been a great picture but unfortunately, Chris was cut out. SORRY CHRIS! I think this is when the girls started to walk down the aisle.The entire bridal party - Eleana, Deedee,...
