Our Adventures

This past weekend we celebrated our 2nd anniversary with a little get-away to Anacortes, Washington. Chris planned it all and he didn't even give it away like he tends to do with other secrets. We started off the trip with a little shopping at Bellis Fair Mall. I got 5 t-shirts because I was in desperate need of some new ones and Chris, although he didn't plan on getting anything, got Vans shoes, flip-flips and a pair of shorts. They were all for good deals, especially his shorts, only $11 at Old Navy because it was 40% off all guys stuff for Father's Day. After we had enough of shopping we headed to Anacortes and checked into our hotel and then went to check out the park that was nearby and the sights from a trail that goes around the park. Then we went to the "old town" of Anacortes for supper at the Rock Fish Grill and we found a random mural of a guy in a doorway who Chris became friends with. We made a little stop at Safeway for some goodies, including Seasame Street bubble bath because our room had a sweet Jacuzzi tub! And robes! Although the water Chris ran for my bath basically gave me first degree burns I got to relax for a bit and enjoyed the jets for as long as I could before my body felt like it was on fire. We topped the night off with some Hershey's chocolate, which tastes gross in the States, and some licorice as we watched the Pursuit of Happiness. The next day we had some yummy continental breakfast and then headed to this spot called Deception Pass where there's a really high bridge and a cool coastline. We hung out there for a bit, hiked around and then headed back to the homeland. The weather held up for us so that was good and it was a really enjoyable get-away. What a good husband I have.



Right after we got back from the States, Andrew and Megan came over to hang out. Andrew was out from Ontario for Mark and Amber's wedding on Saturday and we wanted to see him before he left sunday night. So we played some games, ate some pizza, watched a movie and randomly sang a camp song before Chris drove him to the airport. We also took a cheesy family photo where Megan and Andrew were our kids. It was a good time had by all and it was good to see those two again.

Now we're back to work and it's raining hard but it's supposed to get nicer. Chris has an assured job at his school next year, it's a half-time Science position and the other days he can sub so in the end he would make more money than a full-time job because the school also pays him for his prep time. He also applied for a full-time Science/P.E. position that he should find out about soon. He will take that one if they offer it to him but it's good to know that he's going back to that school either way. I think that's all the news around these parts for now. I'm getting pretty good at updating regularly now, we'll see how long this lasts...
