Our Adventures

This weekend went by way too quickly. It started with Chris coming home and us hanging out waiting for our friend Carmen from BC to show up at our place cause she was staying there for the night.



Her and Eric (who was Chris' best man) came out for Eric's sister's wedding. We got to spend a little bit of time with them, Chris and Eric took advantage of the waterslides at Eric's hotel and went early morning watersliding before all of us went out for breakfast at Grainfield's. I had crepes, they were good.



After we said our good bye's we spent at least two hours getting a deep freeze we've been planning on buying for about a month. We had to get chris' uncles van and called up chris' bro and his roommate to come help us. The thing is, the van only holds two people so me and kevin's roommate had to follow the van everywhere in our car. Turns out the deep freeze wasn't even that heavy so Chris and I probably could've done it by ourselves. And so that story goes. Now it sits empty in our kitchen just waiting to be filled with all sorts of frozen goodies.



Before we knew it it was sunday and we were out buying a birthday present for chris' littlest bro who's at capernwray thetis island right now, then there was church and then there was hang out time at kevin's place and then pack up time for chris to leave the next morning. I like when the week goes fast but not the weekend. All in all it was a really good weekend but this better not become a trend of the weekend going by fast. That's all I have to say about that.

I saw a strange thing today. I'm not sure if I just don't know funeral traffic etiquette or if this was something that is out of the ordinary. I was walking home from school and this herse with a limo and some other black vehicles slowly drove by with their emergency lights flashing. Then like 30 seconds later two massive buses drove by just as slow with their emergency lights flashing. They were followed by cars, trucks, just random vehicles who were driving just as slow with their lights flashing. I started thinking that all vehicles just normall have their emergency lights flashing but then I realized that it wasn't the case as normal cars started driving by. I just don't know what that was all about, I've never seen something like that. My guess is they were going from the funeral chapel to the gravesite but I've never seen such a long line of cars with flashing lights and two huge buses! I wonder who this person was, they must have been loved a lot.

Well, I don't have very many exciting things to say. See what I mean, all the exciting stuff happened in the month of June. Anyways, the most exciting thing if you can call it that is that Saskatoon had a record high rainfall this past friday. It's not very typical of it to rain here for more than a night but it happened to rain for three straight days here. And it's not like Chilliwack rain where it's still somewhat warm out, it's like 4 degrees with the rain, not too much fun. Supposedly the basement suite we're living in flooded last year from rain so we're happy that it's not happening to us this year. I wore a toque for the first time today, it was kinda sad, only the 18th of september and I'm wearing a toque. Don't get me wrong, I really like toques but when you're not just wearing them for fun in the middle of september then you know that something is going on. If winter comes already it better be over by march, that's all I have to say about that. I think last year it snowed here on April 30th, what's up with that? Anyways, who would've thought I could write a whole blog on the weather, I must really have nothing to say.

I guess those options aren't so bad, except for that old guy who I don't know and the fred dunst guy, he's scary.



Kay I tried a billion pictures and half of them showed up as men being in the top percentile as looking like me. Great. This is the only picture where I think the people sort of look like me and kirsten dunst is the only one that showed up twice from a few pictures I did so I guess I look like her, I don't really see it. Well, that was fun, time for bed.

Here's our first real place. I don't know if it counts as yours if we're just renting but I'll consider it our first place. We moved in here on August 15th and we're pretty happy here, only a few blocks from the river, in a sweet neighbourhood with roads lined with big trees and a nice lady living above us with a british accent. Can't get much better than that. After many stressful searches of dingy places we were totally blessed by getting this place, it sort of just fell into our hands. Funny how things work like that. Take a look at how we're living out in the prairies...

This is our living room, we took a trip out to edmonton one weekend and stocked up on some ikea furniture which perfectly fit into our echo. See Jen, the exact same furniture you picked! The couch is another sweet deal that sort of landed in our hands when we randomly went to value village one day. Stuff in here looks a bit different now, we got some wedding pictures up in there now but this is pretty much the jist of it.

This is our porthole kitchen as we like to call it cause there's this one window on the wall beside the fridge that's about the size of a port hole. It's actually pretty spacey though, there's a nice little open area where the table is at the bottom.

This pic doesn't really do our bedroom justice. Today there's the pic that was under the window in the living room in the first picture on that blank wall on the left in this picture. At the wall at the foot of our bed we have a shelf thing for clothes that don't fit in our tiny closest and two lovely wicker hampers given to us by kev and apes for our wedding.

So that's pretty much our place, I have pics of the bathroom but how exciting can that be? Our bathroom is across this entrance part where there's laundry so that part is sort of weird but it's nice and big so that makes up for it. Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Yeah so I'm sort of living in the past but that's when things were really busy and I had stuff happening besides school. Right after Andrew and Andrea's wedding we drove back to Herbert, Saskatchewan and watched Chris' little brother Ryan (aka Roy) graduate from grade 12. In these towns you need to remember there's like 15 people in a grad class so they go all out, the guys in suits, the girls in big puffy dresses, a supper that hundreds of people come to, the formal handing out of the certificate and then of course a big party at someone's farm which happened to be at his cousin tim's place. Other than watching people I didn't know graduate, I got to be ryan's professional photographer for the day and took pics of him in his fancy suit and we took some family pics and I also took some of him with his girlfriend randy so that was exciting for me to do. Here are some of my professional pics...
