Before we travel the world...

I thought I'd post for probably my last time this summer. We're heading off to Herbert this Sunday and we'll be back for two days and then we fly to Europe for the month of August. I can't believe it's already here but I'm so ready for it! I just have three more assignments to get done and then I'm officially no longer a student and hopefully officially a teacher. I've been working hard at editing pictures before we vacation and I have finished my last wedding of the summer, besides Ryan and Randi's. I was very pleased with these pictures, we had some good variety for backgrounds and had some fun with them. It also helps that the couple was very photogenic. I'm glad to be done editing for a while though, that was one busy streak I had. I'm sure I'll be back at it once I have all our pictures from Europe.

It hasn't been all work around here though, we did have a chance to get out in the sun last weekend. We went to White Rock and enjoyed the beach, had supper and of course some ice cream. It made me feel like we were in Hawaii or some other tropical location, it's a good little spot to go on a sunny day.

We've also played our last baseball game without even knowing it was our last. We were supposed to play one last time tomorrow, where I was going to take some pictures of the team, but it got canceled for some reason. So I guess I'll just have to remember my last good hit I had to make me want to play again next year. While I've been editing and doing school work Chris has been filling his time with watching many many episodes of Star Trek. His new favorite spot is on the bed in the dark with his laptop. Yes, he is a geek. I think he's ready for vacation too.



See you in September!

And the busyness continues...

I'm taking a breather from my crazy editing busy life. I have one more wedding to edit and then I can relax for a bit until we get back from Europe. Besides editing I still have two online classes I've been doing papers and online discussions for so I've been spending a lot of time at the computer. That's not all that's happened lately though. We had a chance two weekends ago to go backpacking in the Stein Valley with Eric and Carmen. Although it's known to be bear country we did not see one although Chris says he saw a bear's bum. We hiked for about 16km the first day because after getting to the end of the trail we decided to hike back a bit to a spot we liked better for camping at. Altogether we hiked about 26km, that's a lot. It was tonnes of fun even though we got attacked by mosquitoes and I got two nasty blisters on my heel. During that week we also helped Carmen and Eric move into their new house. They are now officially homeowners, time to make some babies. We've also been having some good times playing baseball and just enjoying the nice weather we've been having. These next couple weeks before we leave for Herbert and eventually Europe we're trying to see friends for one last visit and getting everything organized that we need to take care of before we leave. It doesn't really feel real yet that we're going to Europe because we've been so busy. It probably won't until we're at the airport but I'm really looking forward to it. Here's some pictures from the last few weeks...enjoy.
