Midterm Break

We had a super busy Midterm Break. Kevin (my little brother), AJ and Amara all came to visit. We had a great time and Ter and I enjoyed having some company! A recap of our trip is:

Saturday: Everyone arrived. We went to Ter's aunts house for Chinese new year and ate a lot of food!

Sunday: We went to Lynn Waters provincial park. It was beautiful. There was a suspension bridge, a 30foot pool, and waterfalls. That night we went to Salathai for supper.

Monday: It was raining, so we wnt to Metrotown for some shopping. Then we went to Las Margaritas for dinner. Some amazing Mexican food!

Tuesday: We went hiking in Pacific Spirit regional park, to the Spanish Banks, Jericho Beach. We went to Vera's Burgers for lunch. Kev, Ter, and I went to Granville island too. That night we had Sushi. It was Kev's first time!

Wednesday: Amara and Aj have gone home! Kevin and I went to the aquarium, which was neat to see. That night we went to East is East for supper.

Thursday: Kevin was going home. So we went to UBC, and had some amazing pizza!

An Update (for Pam)

A month of the new year has passed and along with that a lot has happened. When Ter and I returned from Regina, I went back to work. I have been working some overtime babysitting, which has been nice (I need the money!). I submitted all of my applications for speech-pathology and now the waiting game begins. I am actually really anxious about hearing back. I will be so dissapointed if I do not get in. But at the same time, I can work at this job another year! However, I would then have to become a BC resident, which I don't want to do - I love being a Saskatchewanian!

After my applications were submitted, i started a distance education class - Human Physiology. It has turned out to fairly hard - in both course material and maintaining motivation. The book is sitting in front of me right now! :) I also went to Courtenay, BC this month. It is on Vancouver island and is a beautiful place. I really enjoyed the scenery. Here is a picture of the glacier and mount washington - best for sking!


On this trip, I also got to go on the ferry, which was wonderful. It was foggy both days, but it was still fairly neat! Having two little children to chase around the boat wasn't all that fun though!

Then it was my birthday - the big 23! I had a great day. In the morning I had my nails done - both feet and hands. Pedicures are amazing and I recommend them to everyone. So relaxing!!!Then I had the afternoon off and I lazed around - talked to family on the phone! Then Ter and I went to Leanne and Harold's (my employers) for supper and had this amazing chicked thai peanut supper, wine, and an amazing chocolate kahlua cake! And.. Ter has eating ALL of the leftovers of the cake!! Then after supper, we came home and I was soo surprised. Ter had ordered a fancy cake from a bakery and Rebecca and Micah (friends from Law school) came over holding it as a surpise. I was kinda upset that I didn't get to see any friends over my birthday, but it was wonderful that they surprised me and came over! So all in all I had a great birthday!

Now, I am just working, trying to excercise and keeping busy with everything. I miss everyone and hope to hear from you al!!!

Applications submitted

I am finally finished submitting applications for a master's of speech-language pathology that I am applying for. I feel like it has been months in the process of applying. Yet, it is finally finished and now I have to just sit and wait. I have a feeling that April wont come soon enough. I am so anxious to find out if I get in and if I do - where? Life in Vancouver is wonderful. I would love to get in here - I have Ter and a great job that I can continue! But, I will keep everyone updated on the process.

On other news, Ter and I arrived back in Vancouver safely. Our flight ended up being an hour delayed in total between two airports, but we made it home. I started work the next day and Ter has been lazing around, cleaning and organizing. But, he started school today and it went well. I have also started a class today through distance education - human physiology. So far, I have read the first chapter and it is fairly easy. Everything is multiple choice so it can't be that hard "I hope"!

Other then that there is not much that is new. I am sooo happy for Doug and Christina for buying a house - that is amazing!!! Here are a few pictures from over christmas! I will post more later! But, that is all! Bye!
