    Back from Africa

    Joanne-Dave-Nigeria-2009We’re back from our trip. It was an incredible experience! I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

    Unfortunately blog updates will have to wait, it’s the first week of school which means life’s gone a bit crazy busy.

    Packing for my honeymoon

    What’s in my suitcase?

    Here’s my first Africa update.  I thought you might be interested in seeing what’s in my suitcase…. see photo below.  It should be an interesting experience traveling through customs.  My personal stuff needs to fit in 1/2 of my carry on bag – the other half is the stuff that needs to be on ice (I’m carrying a lunch bag with reagents). suitcase-contents

    We’re off to Africa! See you in September…

    What a fun wedding

    What Hilarious Fun!

    Watching over me

    I walked out to Hunter trail with the dog today… and took this picture on my phone (believe it or not).eagle
    I have a special place in my heart for bald eagles.

    Smokies for Sale

    Torbin bought 20lbs of smokies. That’s $130 worth. They’re homemade natural beef sausages from the Steves farm – so they are awesome. But 20lbs, man we had a good laugh. He didn’t know how much he was buying. Man, that guy, I guess that’s why I’m marrying him!!

    Hope the story made you laugh. Now, if you know of anyone who wants to buy a couple pounds of smokies. I’ve got some for sale!

    Happiness is …

    Happiness is a garden party with loads of your friends. Last night, we had tons of fun. We’re looking forward to next weekend.

    The 5 min Head Start

    I got this nice email today from one of my best tri buddies.

    What a great swim race. Well done.

    Thanks, best tri buddy, it WAS awesome.  I forgot about the 5 min head start that the boys got – so I thought my time was 1:10.  When I saw it was 1:05 (later in the afternoon when I checked the results online) I was really excited.  Were you there for the awards?  I was wondering if I got a ribbon.  I would be proud of that ribbon.  It’s 8 min faster then the last time I swam the Canada Day swim.  Woo hoo!

    Getting Ready for Canada Day Swim

    On Wednesday, I’m going to race the 4km swim at Sasamat lake. I love this photo of me and my Dad. Apparently, I’m having a tantrum.
    Swimming outdoors is one of my favorite things.  No more tantrums.
