Ahhh, she's so cute!!!! We are totally thrilled with the wonderful blessing God has given us. She's been growing great, and is probably up to about 9 1/2 pounds by now.

Well, we've finally uptaded our profile to include interests & such for both of us.Oh, and check this out if you need a laugh. You download the powerpoint file, and then play it. Its well worth it, and I don't think it can help but make you smile (at least). Presenting, the Laughing Cat!!!

Well, we made it back from our big trip to Pennsylvania to get my sister married off. It was a good trip, but oh its nice to be home! I'll post more when we get our camera back so we can post pictures (we left it behind :)

Well, we only won one game in our PRBI hockey tournament, but I still came away with a trophy. See it there on my chin? That was Friday night, the first shift of the first game!!! I had to play a game on Sunday just to try and get my money's worth. It is healing up nicely now though.Oh, I also got new glasses in the beginning of March. Of course, I wasn't wearing them to play

We're sorry to announce the passing of Flif the Fish. May he rest well in the bottom of our Fern (I hear they make great fertilizer :)He will never be replaced, but his bowl may house another soon (I hear Walmart has a sale on Betas :)

We decided to start our own line of "naked" kitty pictures... Anne's Kitties. No.. we're not spoofing anything.. honest :)Any way, I need to get ready, because before long we are going for my Birthday supper. Tony Roma's gives a free meal coupon (up to $18.99) for the Birthday boy! We tried it out for Jen's Birthday, and it was pretty good. The cost still adds up though, so its good we don't

Misty Mouse, the new member of our family.Its something Jen and I decided on a while ago, so on Friday we went down to our local SPCA, and adopted Misty. She has been tons of fun thus far, and quite entertaining.She is extremely emotionaly dependent, and doesn't seem to be able to function without one or usually both of us around. Hopefully as she settles in she will get better.

It appears likely that I've closed one chapter on the Saga with my car.After installing a new axle on the left rear side, my ABS system seemed to be going wonky. We found out that the flange that was dented was actually a very critical part of the sensor system that tells the ABS when to activate. Little did we know, so my ABS kept coming on when it shouldn't, causing all kinds of problems. After

Well, its been a little while, yet again. I have a good excuse though. A wedding takes an awful lot of free time, both before and after. But man is it ever worth it! Wow, its been an amazing experience. Thanks to all who came and supported us, and to those who went the extra mile in doing important things at the last minute. There was more of that than I would have liked.The Ceremony was really

Ok, so the axle went in just fine, as did the seals and bearings. However, when I took it for a test drive, my abs system kept kicking in. We know the rotor needs to be replaced, but I was hoping that it would be servicable enough to get me to Silver Valley. No such luck, so I'm staying in GP tonight and I'll be putting in a new rotor tomorrow (the part should be coming in the morning sometime

So I'm just bursting to tell people about what happened with my car. I feel like I won a major victory and want to share it. I don't want to be assailing everyone with my story, because they've got their own lives too, so maybe by posting it here, that will get the bug out of my system, and I can actually get to work.Ok, half the decision was just to try and fix the car myself. A friend of mine

And beyond! Well, that's kind of how I feel anyway. And no, I'm not talking about my wedding (wow, only 9 days!!!!) although that would apply too.I'm delving into the depths of my car. My axle seal on one side is leaking, so I need to replace it. This involves taking the brakes off, (which I've done) and locking the differential (which I haven't), removing the axle (new again) and replacing the

Well, one of them anyway. I got the carpet in the bedroom cut to fit the bedroom. I was dreading the job because of the pressure of not screwing up and making it look ugly. Jen was a great help on that one, reminding me not to worry about it. When I got going, it really wasn't that bad. I did mess up, and one closet has a little less carpet than it should, but "out of sight, out of mind" my

Maybe not... but it can't hurt anything. Go to www.referendumcanada.ca and make your voice heard on the same sex marriage debate re: Bill C-38. I don't know if it will actually hold any water with our MPs, seeing as its promoted by United Familes (who are doing all they can to defend the traditional definition of marriage here in Canada). Not that I disagree with them, not at all, but with them

I can't believe that my single days are drawing to a close...... I don't think I'll miss them too much.Not that life hasn't been good, but who wouldn't want a lifelong companion to continue to experience the great adventures that God has in store for us. I think I'll have to change the name of the blog to include both of us. Jen likes to write, so maybe we'll get more regular postings in here

Well, its been a while since I've posted in here. Life is going by very quickly. I'm getting married in less than two months. Check out my wedding website for info and details.

Yesterday I was offered the oppertunity to attend a "Focus Group". 'What's that?' I asked. Not really sure, was the answer, but basically a round table discussion on some issue or other. I didn't really want to, being the shy person that I am, but then I found out I would be remunerated $75 for my time. Anticipating 2 hours of discussion, that's a better hourly wage than I've made for a long time

Well, last week we launched our new college website. Its been an interesting process as I've headed up the development team. The location is still the same... www.prbi.edu but the look is all our own. Now I'm looking into some site promotion techniques, and got a free e-book from seobook.com (he donates it to charitable organizations). Thanks Aaron. Go on over and have a look if you haven't

Well, today I found out I didn't have to pay $700 after all. Let me back up a bit. Through the month of January, I've noticed that my car has been, well, wandering occasionally. Its been very inconsistent, and I ignored it for a while. I was starting to wonder whether it was all in my head, but then Jen took the car in for the afternoon, and confirmed that it was quite bad. Finally last

Ok, this is what our living room looked like before our 'redecorating'. This is standing in the middle of our kitchen, looking into the living room. You can barely see the big love seat right in front of me, but it really cut the room in half.
