Today Kim and I booked our flights to Australia! It is exciting and terrifying all at the same time. I know that this is where I am supposed to be going. It just feels right. I was supposed to go to the UK last year, but it didn't feel right like it does now. Yay!!!!
I fly out October 13 in the early morning. I will be tired after a long weekend with my brothers wedding and such. Who cares if I am tired? I am going to Australia! My return date is not yet set, but it appears that it will be September-October '09.
For now, its time to work and save money for the trip and get all the fine details sorted out. A lot of work but worth it all.
I love traveling.

Mid-May
Wow.. two posts in the same month. This hasn't happened in a while!
First off.. I think God has a good sense of humour. Things have been happening in my life that were unexpected but welcomed with a smile. Kim (Schroeder) and myself have spent many times letting our minds wonder and just end up laughing at ourselves because of it. Why is it when you are finally content with a situation, it changes? This is why I think God has a good sense of humour. Sorry I can't elaborate more!
Today is a beautiful day. Its days like this that I wish my van had air conditioning.
There really isn't anything new with me. Come July I will be officially employed at four different jobs. Downtown at the convention center where I have been since September, BC Place working the BC Lions games and sadly not the Madonna concert since I will be in Australia. I am also back at Carlton Cards when the previous two jobs are slow. Most likely I will also be working at Fraser Valley for the summer doing some office work and giving tours of both FVC and SCS. I'm sure that will bring back a lot of memories! And will all of that I still find days to babysitt four boys. A busy life I lead!
On top of those jobs I am helping my sister and brother plan their weddings, more so my sister though since her and her fiance live in Vegas. DefinitelyA turning me off weddings for a while! A destination wedding sounds good right about now for me... not anytime soon though.
Thats the update.. here are some pictures of my backyard this spring since I have no other pictures to share. My sister is having her reception in our yard. Ciao!

Early May
I am currently next door to my old house in Burnaby. The twins are asleep and its time to wind down. We had a fun filled day. Went to the mall, went swimming, then had dinner at their grandparents house. Their idea of a multi-course meal? Starting with meat, cheese, and fruit, then onto soup, then lasagna, but wait.. thats just the beginning! Then we had veal with cheese and mushrooms on it, steak, salad, carrots, and two kinds of cake along with a fruit plate for desert. I ate way too much!
I also ran into my old neighbor. Good to briefly catch up. I may go over there tomorrow to see the rest of his family.
Babysitting all weekend long has taught me that I am not ready anytime soon for children. I have also always wanted to have a set of multiples (call me crazy) but I am second guessing that as well. Luckily, the twins are 7 and pretty independant.
This week will be busy at work. There is so much scandal that goes on in my workplace and it gets frustrating, but its work that I need to have. If we had good management our company could truly be exceptional, but our management sucks, therefore all of the not so good employees stick around and the hardworking, knowledgable ones are leaving us. It really sucks because I am friends with the latter. It is good to have coworkers who have the same work ethic as yourself!
Changing topics... I have five weddings from July-October. I love weddings therefore I am very excited for these to happen! All of them are pretty much in town except for my cousin who is getting married in Prince George. Road trip? I think so!
Enough of an update for now.. sorry my life is so uneventful! Wait until mid-October than you can hear all about my Australian adventures!
Ciao!
Oh.. and kids really do say the darnest things!
