Where have these Aggies gone?

I wish the present-day Aggies would punish their opponents (especially on defence) the way the Ol’ Army used to (as seen in this video retrospective).

ps. Isn’t the soundtrack to this video sweet?!

Going, going…

gone, yet again. This time, we’re off to Bayfield for a week at a cottage with the fam. We’ll post the pics when we get back.

contact information change

Now that Verizon has introduced it’s reasonably priced America’s Choice with Canada plan, we’ve decided to get rid of our land line and go exclusively with our cell phones. If you plan to reach us by phone in the future, please update your phone books; if you don’t, don’t worry about it.

We will keep our land line for a few weeks while people make the change. The relevant cell numbers can be found here.

Happy birthday to me

Well today is my 30th birthday. I guess that makes me an adult. Maybe that happens when you turn 20. Or maybe when you have a child. I’m not sure. I didn’t feel adultish at either of those experiences, and I don’t feel adultish at 30 either. I thought that I would be at a different place in my life, that I would have more things figured out, have done more and maybe look different. Even though I’m not at the place where I thought I would be, I’m glad I am where I am.

“Where are you?” you ask. Well I am in LOVE and happily married to the greatest guy in the world for almost 6 years, and have a wonderful 2 month old son that is the sunshine of my life (even during the sleepless nights, dirty diapers and vomit streaked shirts!).

I have done things that I thought I didn’t have the guts to do: bungee jumping, elephant riding, traveled to Thailand, Cambodia and Costa Rica and Scotland. barb-bungee.jpg I have lived in England, Texas and Michigan. I have made some really great friends from around the world and even though I don’t live close to most of them I thank God for each and every one of them.

I have celebrated the highs of life and grieved with friends and family during the hard times. I have tried to live life with passion and always looking forward, although I sometimes find myself gazing backwards asking myself “what if…” Although I might not be where I thought I would be, you couldn’t pay me enough to change who I am, where I am, and those I surround myself with!

So I hope y’all have a wonderful 4th of July, I know I will!

Happy Birthday Barb!

Happy Canada Day!

We’re back

From both our stay in St. Catharines and our mini blogging hiatus. We’ve had a good but busy month (hence the blogging hiatus), full of framing and family visits. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t get as much academic work done as I had hoped to (and I didn’t even hope to get very much done!). But, such is life. Anyway, we’re back in AA now for a week, then it’s off to Sauble Beach for a week with my family, back to AA for a week, and then off to Bayfield for a week with Barb’s family.

On another note, we know it’s been a while since we’ve posted new Zac pics. Well, the wait is over. Enjoy!
