I'm still alive. I promise!

Hi all. I know it's been a VERY long time since I've updated my blog but I'm sure most of you know that we've been incredibly busy.

Just to name a few things that have happened in the past 90 days:
- Laid off work
- Had a few wedding showers, stag/staggette parties
- Got married
- Gift Opening at the new house
- Sang in a concert the week after the wedding
- Moved 2 people (separately) into the new house
- Went over to the island for a few days
- Went to Fiji and Australia for honeymoon (heard about our niece Makayla's birth while there - Welcome to the world!)
- Sang in another 2 concerts the next two days after returning from Fiji and Australia. (Imagine the state of my voice!)
- Did an itty bitty contract job (42 minutes to create a report - then had to explain it for 90 minutes)
- Hosted a Pre-Christmas dinner party for 10 at our humble abode. (Had to decorate of course)
- Celebrated Christmas with family and friends at 4 different locations on Christmas day.
- Left on a 6am bus to Kimberley on Boxing Day - returned the morning of New Years Eve.
- Cruise around English Bay for New Years.
- Started a new contract job (probably about 2 weeks worth) just yesterday

Well, that's just at a glance what we've been up to. I apologize for not being more responsive. I am trying to keep this resolution. So far so good. Week 1 is now in the bag. :)

Happy New Year!

Marketing of our Christmas Concert

Since I'll be away for the next few weeks on our aussie/fijian honeymoon, I only get this ONE opportunity to advertise for this fabulous show. We're actualy being recorded for a CD and all.

I would really love it if many of my family and friends could attend one of the two concerts. Just email me which concert and hw may and i'll do my best. But the tickets are running out FAST! It is probably going to sell out. I would hate for you all to miss it.

If you're unsure I will be able to get tickets for you on the day of my return (Dec 10th), then I suggest contacting ROCA directly or my friend Robin Salkeld at Business Objects as he's in the choir too.

Sunday Dec 11 at 3pm at Fraserview MB Church

Monday Dec 12 at 7.30pm at South Delta Baptist Church

Wedding Day - More Pics Explained

There are so many pictures that are coming my way now that I'm going to have to just include them and explain them. They will probably be out of order but at least they are there. These ones are still from Sandra's submissions. Please send me more!!!


Above is my new Mother-in-Law Bev and her mother Marion. They were just hanging out having coffee in Pacific Centre while we newlyweds were getting our picture taken at the Vancouver Art Gallery after the ceremony.

Best Man James is being quite the gentleman by holding Sandra's bouquet while she got her camera (and therefore decided to take his picture from the "ground up").

Sandra looks just LOVELY as she is waiting for the newlyweds to arrive at the Four Seasons. Thanks so much for being so supportive Sandra!

Shall I show some leg? Perhaps a garter? The above is I think my FAVOURITE fun pic so far. This is actually BEFORE the ceremony. To explain....

My mom, Sandra and I were meant to be picked up in a 1935 vintage Rolls Royce from the Wall Centre at at 12.30pm. Unfortunately, by 1pm, still no Rolls Royce. I admit, I was starting to feel just a little stressed but Sandra picked up on it and decided to turn it into a joke. She suggested a picture where we've got our thumbs out as if we were hitchhiking.

We ended up outside a little later and these taxi drivers wanted to drive us and tourists wanted to take our picture. It was so hilarious, there was no time to stress.

Above is another pick of coffee time after the ceremony. You can see half of Bev's face. My father-in-law Glen, Best Man James, and Bev's dad David.
