The first week of Canada 2007

Right now, I'm sitting at the kitchen table in Sooke and I'm finally posting pictures of my first week here in Canada. My brother is sitting next to me, talking to his fiance (they set a wedding date! It looks like I'm heading this way again next year!) while all the "old" people - mom, dad, mormor and bebba - are watching the news in the living room. The puppies are enjoying all the extra cuddles and we are all having a wonderful time. Peter, Gaby...

Celebrations all over the world!

Sorry to everyone who actually reads this blog - I know I haven't been too good with my updates but hopefully this post and the ones to come will make up for it! My days here in Canada have been packed with lots of stuff - family, good food, coffee and long talks. I haven't really been out much with my friends but I'm sure that'll come next week after the diamond anniversary. At least they all know that I'm not ignoring them or anything snobby like...

We ate lunch there and then caught the 1pm ferry back to Victoria where we did some more grocery shopping (getting ready for...

It's just me!

Hi everyone! How are things going for all of you guys?I'm doing good - been busy lately, which is why I'm not posting as much as I usually do. I'm back at work and trying to get back into the normal routine. I can't really complain about being back at work, seeing that I had a 4 week vacation and that in exactly 2 weeks, I'll be back in Victoria. Well, I'll actually be on my parents boat since we plan on taking a little sailing trip the day after I come home. Pretty cool eh?I can't wait to see my family and friends aga...
