Long time no see!

Five years.. where have I been? I have thought about writing numerous times over the past few years but never got around to it. Tonight seems like the night to start. Let me set the mood first... Tonight is my first night at home alone since we bought our house and I am feeling lonely. The house is quiet, baby Jack is snoring and the cat keeps licking herself above my head on the pillow! you may wonder why I feel lonely with so much company in my bed, but neither of them can talk!!! This woman needs pillow talk every night to be able to sleep!

So let me back track a bit now and briefly catch you up to where my life is now... my sailing trip to Maui was life-changing! It was probably the most interesting thing I have ever done! And so I will detail about it another day. After this trip, I flew home and worked at camp all summer. I was then invited to fly back out to Hawaii and help crew the sailboat back... again, life-changing! I did not go back to school after that because UCFV, once again, cancelled my Adventure Tourism program! err...! I got rehired as a flag person and worked full time until summer 2008. In November 2007, I learned all about clubbing and bar-hopping (oh the joys of becoming legal drinking age) but it didn't last long... One last trip out to Roosters Country Cabaret for a friends birthday party (I was the designated driver!!) led me to my now husband, Travis.

After meeting Travis we started dating and got serious fast. We fell in love very fast and by the third week we were dating, I already knew I wanted to marry him! Travis and I got engaged on July 10th, 2008 at Montana's restaurant (yes i made him wear the antlers) and we were later married in February 2009.

Life has been interesting from then on... I got a job working for the government just before we were married and we bought a townhouse that spring! Again, things moved very fast. We wanted desperately to to get pregnant but after over a year of trying, we started to give up. Luckily God had other plans and I became pregnant with our handsome son, Jack, last January! He is now five months old and the light of my life. ! We sold our townhouse early this year and bought a huge (to us!) five bedroom house in Chilliwack! Needless to say I am loving life right now!!!!!

So there ya have it, my last five years in a nutshell. I will go into further detail on things another day but for now I should close the book. I am tired and Jack is teething and I would hate to wake him up!

Good night.
