Months go by.
Well, it's only been a few months! A busy few months at that. We've already been married for 5 months and I'm still trying to figure out how that happened! We've both been very busy. I've been working my buns off to save up money for the time that I am taking off in the new year (more on that later) and Jay is but one final and one more semester with 4 courses away from being done with university! Then the big plan is to put the condos up for sale in April-ish and move to the farm at the end of April/beginning of May into the farmhouse. Joy and Dan have bought their first home in Houston, Texas so we'll be taking over their nest in the spring.
So we're a mere 2 weeks away from Christmas and Jay and I will be leaving the city to go to the farm for Christmas in a week. We'll come back to Edmonton to spend Christmas Eve with my family, but I'll be working for 3 weeks back in Drumheller when we're down at the farm. Before Christmas we'll be heading to Jasper for our 2nd annual "Nurse Mafia" ski/snowboarding trip with our good friends Katie & Shane, Becky & Jeff, and Kathleen & Tom. I got all new snowboarding equipment this year (thanks to the wonderful Canadian dollar and good online sales in the States!) and can't wait to try it out.
More countdowns...it's only a month and 2 days before we head back to Maui! We'll be going with Jay's parents as well as Laura & Craig. It will be very nice to go back so soon and have some people to do things with when we're over there. It's also about 2 months away until I leave this continent for the first time and go on the orthopedic medical trip to Ecuador. Fundraising is going very well and I think I'll reach my goal of $2000.
I think that should do it for now. Looking very forward to seeing Lisa tomorrow as we're going to see Bon Jovi with her cousin Sarah and Keri.
Merry Christmas!
