Our Adventures

Well, I don't know if anyone reads this anymore but I'm going to post one anyway. And if you do check this leave a comment! Let us know that you're reading our blog so we don't feel like it's hopeless. Anyways, we're about to leave for a road trip to Calgary in about an hour. Chris' cousin Andrew is getting married. We're going a day early to stay at my friend Jenn's place, she was my LTS at Capes. Last weekend we were back in Herbert doing some cow duties and seeing Ryan since we hadn't seen him since he got back from Capes. While the boys and Alysha gave needles and branded and castrated and fun things like that I shot gophers on a hill for about two hours. I think I must have shot about 200 of them, they were all over the place. It was a good time. That was our big event for the weekend, other than that we just hung out, washed cars, the boys played basketball and we ate a lot of beef.

So once again I've put off blogging. It just seems that talking about me sitting at home searching for updates on material for a textbook doesn't seem that interesting. And there's the whole facebook thing, which seems to be taking over the world of blogging. Which is a shame because even though you find people you haven't seen in ages on facebook, it's much more entertaining to read blogs in my opinion. I guess I shouldn't be one to talk since I've denied blogging too. But here I am. The only news I have to post is old news but it will be new to most of you. We were in Herbert a few weeks ago because Chris had a week before spring classes started so he helped seed on the farm while I sat and did work all week. We had some visitors while at the farm Chris' cousin Colin and his girlfriend Ang. We had a swell time by the fire and roasting tiny marshmellows because that's all we had.


I also got to give Kevin a makeover while we were home which took much longer than I expected but it seemed to work out. I think he should have just stuck with the mullet though.

I too got a haircut, about a week ago. I figured it was time to get one seeing as how I hadn't had one since the day after my wedding. Let's just say my hair was full of split ends.


Other than that, we haven't been up to too much. This weekend Chris had a ton of homework to do and it basically rained all weekend so we stayed inside most of the time, him doing work and me doing random things that I wanted to get done. We also discovered a website where you can watch free tv shows so we started watching the first seasons of grey's anatomy and lost. Other than the arabic subtitles it's pretty good. This week we finally have another baseball game. We had a week off last week for some reason and attempted to have a serious practice but that did not happen. We did have a practice but it sure didn't feel like we got much done so we'll see how fresh we are at our game tomorrow. Chris and I had a random visitor this past week. A friend of ours that worked at camp a few years ago with us, who we haven't seen since then, phoned us right before our baseball practice saying he hitch-hiked to Saskatoon and we were the only ones he knew. So we picked him up and he stayed the night and was off in the morning for his trek to Ontario. He gave us a jar of honey that he got from a random guy who picked him up and took him to his son's bee farm. Hopefully it's not poisoned because I've been eating it. Well, not much else to say, we head to Calgary in two weekends for Andrew and Janette's wedding (Andrew is Chris' cousin), so that should be a grand ol' time. If anyone knows of any way of getting stuff from Saskatchewan to BC in a cheap way let us know because we're trying to figure out how we're getting all our stuff to Chilliwack because it definitely won't all fit in our echo. If anyone happens to be driving or flying here any time soon, let us know if you want to take some of our stuff back with you, it would be much obliged. Alright well here's my post, I will try and be more consistent and not fall into the facebook trap.

Well hello there. Now that I've finished my degree I've decided to go back to school. Yeah, I know, what am I thinking. I'm going to finish my second degree in history. I'll be done at the end of June. Yep, it's a bit busy but I'm actually enjoying it. Its beautiful walking to school each morning. The classrooms are sunny and the windows are open, and the classes are actually interesting to me. I'm taking a philosophy class, which is something I have never taken. Basically, from what I have seen so far, all philosophy is is that annoying kid who just says, why, why, why, why, why. It's a fun time though. My other two classes are history classes, I'm a bit of a history geek.

Last week we went home to the farm because I had nothing to do and I was able to help seed there. It was pretty fun. I need to get out of the city now and then and even though I worked way more than I had the whole month of exams it felt like a real break. I love the farm!

Oh yeah! Me and Vicky are on a softball team now and it's a blast! We won our first two games on Monday. I even got to pitch, which really isn't to hard because hey, it's slow pitch. Vicky is a real slugger. Holy cow are the mosquitoes bad here though. I guess that will be a nice thing about moving to BC. Less mosquitoes. They do have some though, not none like some people may claim. Hopefully it's not west nile season yet.

Well all, hope you're doing well. Don't be shy to say hello!
