NEW~

well first off i have to say.
i have lost my camera. if anyone sees it in a black case. so no pics for anyone.
whats new?
well we bought a house in mission. i want to gt pics and put them up...eventually. right now we are painting like crazy. painting more. i dont like it. i get to go out there on my days off for a few days and just spend the whole time trying to clean and organize and paint. but its all fun and good stuff as its the only time i get to see my fiancee!
me and doug are haivng a lot of fun together wit hthe house and everything. its great learning and going stuff together. we get to do two hikes this summer. weve already decided.
wedding plans coming around. gotta get the flowers this month and do the registry, as i fdont think that is changes much..or should we wait until closer to the date. i know that by the end we will be stressed and i will have lots to do.
my new job is wonderful. its supported and relaxed. i must admitt i dont like the drive, but hey you cant have it all. its nice, its about 30% male to 70% female which jsut makes for a better work envirnment i find.
me and my best friend roby are going odwntown this weekend for a hockey game and some qt . i m really looking forward to it.
thats it.
take care everyone..
if you have any ideas about the registry thing at the bay let mek now. is it to early?
Take care,

news stuff

So whats beeen new with m e...well here are some pics and ill tell you what ive been up to. for the long weekend, doug and i went camping (our friends were suppose to come but because we had zero cell service we couldnt connect) one day we got up early and walked around lightening lake...it was 9 km and we took our time, it was fun, after we were done we jumped in the lake...but this photo was beautiful because u can see the reflection of the mountain. We also did another littler day trail. And one day did a bigger hike (31/2 hours) to the three falls...we got stopped about 30 mins in because there was two bears around the corner but we waited for 6 other people to come nad risked it together and never did end up seeing any bears! This last hike was a lot more steep and better work out- sorry no pics of it right now.

This is a pic of me and doug at the lake...we got a couple good pics with the manning lake bear- but alas they are on his camera...we had fun in the cold LAKE!
For a hour or two every day we would spend sitting in this little rocked- in- quiet sitting area- nice place to read- suntan- do crosswords- etc..

random pic form when we saw the movie "lisense to wed" we both rated it about 7/10


Random pic of me and my four best friends from high school. We went to the wedding of a friend from high school, Mark, a couple weeks ago. Great times with the girls...we took the maple ridge ferry back and sat in cmaping chair tanning and eating blizzards while waiting for an hour!!!!



here is a picutre of me and Leah one night before we went out to a club that i won 100$ to...we HAD to go because it was FREE money...good times with Robyn too!






Here is Dad and Annie at Kai's 1 year bday party- it was a lot of fun, what a cutie they both are- kai loved his chocolate cake...see Louises blog for pics...ANnie now wear pic tails!



This last picture is the outift i wore for two days while camping when we did hikes...doesnt it look silly??

for louise

I figured i couldnt be one uped by Jackie for i would do what everyone wants.....
4 facts
Ive learned how to do many maintenance jobs around my house- lightbulbs, fixing things, etc and i realized i could be a handy man if i ever needed to be but i dont like it
2) i have a weakness for frappe(the mocha ones)
3) i worry a lot about my family, sisters, niece, nephew, brother inlaws, dad, aunts, uncles, etc...getting sick...
4)i hate working in ER

4 new things
1) my bike...a couple months old, but its fun
2) wow..i dont have a lot of new stuff.i should go shopping...got back into hiking last year and i very much enjoyed it
3) i guess living back in bc ( 2 years now)ive readjusted well
4)working in icu...

Habits
1)Im always at work at least 10 mins early
2)i usually watch certain shows on my days off (etc, one day dr. phil, one day: csi one day: dog the bounty hunter- im not too proud of that one)
3)always wear my seat belt
4)i always push the tab down before each sip i take of pop

4 things i wanna try
well the thing that i realized is that there are a couple things namely:horseback riding and skydiving and beer and clamato juice.... that im afraid of and really why would i ever need to do that? to prove it to myself? to have a heart attack...i dont think so...but try ok...
1)owning a standard vehicle
2) travel nursing in little random places for a couple weeks at a time
3)getting married
4)playing hockey or soccer.

That about sums it up...nothing too exciting like my sister, louises. Anyways, i guess there is work to be done and i should get back to it...im going camping this weekend and will try blog next week to say how it went!
