Engagement Photos

We had our engagement photos taken at the end of October. We both consider ourselves to be rather unphotogenic, but were very pleased with how these pictures turned out. That in itself says wonders about the photographer we have hired. Kara of kara rhea Photography has been a pleasure to work with. We appreciate her laid back personality which allowed us to be ourselves. We received a cd with 112 photos and are having a very difficult time choosing our favourite. Here is a glimpse into our day.

Dolphins are friendly

I've always wanted to swim with the dolphins. In 1993 when we visited West Edmonton Mall I got picked to "shake" the dolphin's flipper. Given the chance then I would have jumped in the tank. It took 16 years, but I finally got an opportunity to do just that. It was worth the wait.

The video was made in a hurry. I had to reduce the quality in order to maintain a file size within the limit. When I have more time I'll make a more polished copy.


A White Sand Christmas!

4 more sleeps...sorta

At last the holidays are in sight. Me...the kids in my class...well we could all benefit from a break. After tomorrow I feel that the days will be manageable. Long but manageable. It's too bad I'm left to entertain myself the rest of the evenings this week. That's the story of winter thus far. You'd think I'd be used to it by now. Maybe by the time March rolls around...

I don't think I'll get around to packing. The itch to do so hasn't hit me yet. I think there is too much other stuff to think about.

I've been rather uninspired lately. However, I did finish up a university paper today. I feel much better about this one than the last. I am not a procrastinator when it comes to assignments, and waiting till the LAST day, almost the LAST hour on the previous assignment was more than I could handle.

I have no fun pictures to post as getting out of the house is a rather rare occasion. I suspect I will have more to post before the holidays come to an end.

It's been a long day, I'm exhausted....cold...and hungry. Time to take care of all three.

Busy!

Sometimes I'm unsure of whether I'm here or there, coming or leaving, caught up or behind. The mornings come too fast, the days sometimes drag on too long, and the evenings to unwind are few and far between.

Just 16 sleeps till we head south. At last a getaway.
