Dan and Genevieve's wedding

Here is the lovely couple on their wedding day. It was the most beautiful day for a wedding and the wedding itself was beautiful. Congratulation you two.

Another day

Well each day is starting too look more and more like winter. The sun is gone for most of the day, I think around 1 pm it comes out for 2-3 hours and the temp is dropping too. Sort of makes the day feel blah. Well not much is new with us really tom is back to work and I am trying to get myself motivated to go back to the gym again. After more than a month home and only running a hand full of times you really get out of your routine. So while eating breakfast this morning I thought I would look at places that are renting and seeing what is out there since they say we will have to move sometime this winter. Got to watch the rental market and see how it goes. While looking I decided to see how the real estate market is looking too, I don't know why I look, I think it's more of dream for me than looking b/c the real estate is just too crazy down here for us. I start looking in the next town from ours b/c it's suppose to be a little cheaper and well it is for this part of California but it's not for us. Just to give you an idea, how much do you think this houses cost?

I tried to get the pictures but the website wouldn't let me copy or download them so I will set up the link for the page. Anyhow you really want to know how much this little cute house cost and I should say it nothing fancy but it still cost $649,999. Yup that is right that is how much it cost and oh did I mention it's 51 yrs old. Here is the link for the website just in case you have nothing else to do and you want to have a good laugh and be thankful you live where it is cheaper. California homes (this link only takes you to the home page so you need to go to view listting and the city is sunnyvale and 2+ bedrooms and it should take you to the right spot) this listing was number 13. It's so crazy. Make me really dream about when the time comes and we can move back to Canada and buy a house. I should really get moving here I need to get ready for the gym b/c if I don't I won't be going. Don't they say a body that stays at rest will stay at rest...Oh how true it is. Time to get moving.

Cheers All

Back home in CA

Well it have been quite a month and a bit for me. Sorry folks for dropping off the face of the earth but when I go home I am pretty much spending all my time with family and the time just flies by. I didn't get a lot of pictures when I was home, I would forget to take the camera and stuff like that but most of the time in NS was spent with my nieces, nannie, mom and dad and sandy. I got to go to my nieces 5th Birthday and spend time with Sarah, Terry and Jen too. I even got to spend a weekend at my brothers place which was awesome because I haven't done that since my last yr at UNB. I played with my niece and nephew and introduced them to the Sims computer game. It's still a little too old for them but they had fun making people and houses. I think Craig was more sad seeing my computer go than me, haha. Had a great time with everyone, I took mom and sandy out shopping a couple of times and got them some great new clothes that look awesome on them. I also spent amazing time at Trevor and Sarah's place for almost a week, just hanging out with them and my nephew Sean(he is soo cute) I could have taken him back with us except I don't think Sarah would have let me...I don't blame her. Dan and Genevieve's wedding was amazing I got a few pictures in before my camera died which I was not happy with but what can you do... I will try and post some of the pictures that I do have up. Well I can't believe that I have gone home and am back now. It's just crazy how fast the time goes and I don't understand why so many ppl are in a hurry, b/c you miss out on soo much when you hurry things up. I think it's time just to sit back and enjoy our journeys. Miss ya all at home and I am sorry all friends that we didn't get to see I didn't have a car in NS till tom came, so I couldn't get into the city and I spent a lot of time with my grandmother as well. I hope everyone is well and I miss ya all already.
