We had a girls night at Lexi's house. First we baked 'eatmore' bars, then we played ping pong, took a trip to Tim Horton's for hot chocolate, then finally we went outside in the hot tub! It was about -18 degrees outside, but we didn't care. It was so nice and warm in the hot tub, but to make it a bit more interesting of course we'd go and run ar...

The volleyball team and our two coaches met at Boston Pizza for our final volleyball wind up. A few of us dressed up, but unfortunately the message didn't get around to everyone. Mr.Publow, the coach, and Mrs. Flanders, the assistant coach, were there with us of course. We'd all put in money to get them a gft each, a picture collage thing of the...

After school, Dana, Lexi and I went to Lexi's house, then to a hospital christmas party (both Lexi's parents are doctors) then ET joined us when we went tobogganing! It wasn't a really big hill or anything, but it was really cold! We had snow fights and were tackling eachother and eating the snow and stuff. Then we went back to Lexi's and watche...

My Sweet 16th Birthday and I wasn't at home!! But it was still lots of fun even though I did miss my family and friends at home. It was pretty funny actually because at school someone would mention that it was my birthday, and other people would be like 'oh happy birthday! How old?' and when I said 16 evenone would be like 'what?!', because I'm ...

These are just some pictures of Autumn or Fall as they always call it here. You can compare them to the pictures of winter that I took here at Charlotte and Terry's house, and it looks totally different. Then Charlotte and I raked up all the leaves in the front yard and I filled six massive bags full of leaves just from the front! That night I w...

Nadine was a German exchange student who I went to school with. As per her school year is Germany, she was in Canada from September last year until the beginning of July, then she'd have to go home and go back to school there. We became pretty good friends and we are actually quite alike. She was telling me about the school system in Germany, wh...

Ok well this is just about the school that I go to. It's called Assumption Jr. Sr. High and is for grades 7 to 12. I think that there's only about 400 kids at the school so it's pretty small. Its a Catholic school. Assumption Crusaders they call themselves. I Am A Crusader is their motto thing. Every morning at the start of block one, they do an...

Keri and I have determined that $3,000 should cover our trip expenses. Between the two of us, that is $1,500 apiece. That's the obvious part. The not so obvious element in the equation is where the money will come from. Money is tight these days, but if we have wine, Red Sox and California sunshine, we cannot worry about money. Money is for spen...

Well, Keri and I continue making progress on our planning. On Saturday, we did a bunch of running around. Of note is that we have our hotels booked in both Kirkland, Washington and Redding, California. The good news is that both hotels are considerably under our initial budget. Three nights in Kirkland and four nights in Redding will cost under ...

Keri and I have only been dating since March 20. This means as of today we have known each other for 40 days. Some might argue that it's too early for us to be talking about moving in together, marriage, and going on a trip. The trip makes perfect sense, though. Talking to a friend, Michelle Chapman, via an online Scrabulous game on Facebook, sh...
