Been a while....
Well it's been a while since I posted. Not all that much has gone on. We're well under way for christmas. Everything is decorated and most gifts have been purchased. I wrapped everything that has to be wrapped to date. Last night we drank hot coco and watched Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and Charlie Brown's Christmas. It was great!!
With our reunion approaching next summer, I've had the chance to catch up with a few people who I haven't seen or really talked to since high school. One in particular, Carrie McBain. We've been emailing the past few weeks quite regularly. It's great to catch up with her. Junior high we were inseperable and has some rough times through high school but it's nice to put that aside now that we're older. She's married and has a beautiful daughter named Isabella. They live in Ottawa where she is a RCMP. She will be travelling to Dalhousie this weekend with her daughter for a week visit. She may also take a trip here to Miramichi for a visit. It'll be nice to see her again after all this time.
Funny how things change over the years. It's great to put aside things that happened years ago and catch up again. Back then it may have seemed to be something huge, but now as time goes on, it's quite trivial. I guess I've grown up quite a bit and realize that life is too short and some people that you were quite close to years ago, should be back in your life. Mind you as I've grown, I also realize that you can't waste time with people who play you either. I guess I don't have time, or want to, for things that happen as if we were back in high school when we are clearly so much older and wiser. I guess you really realize who your friends really are. I guess I only want to be happy, and want people that are that way too in my life!
So enough babble..
Talk soon!

Halloween night!
Well Halloween was great! Mind you we didn't get many trick or treaters - we had a good time with Carter! He loved every minute of it. I dressed up as kind of his capture as he was Batman. Tied myself up and made a little handle so he could pull me around. Well we walked out the door and he didn't want any of that! So Brenda (the witch in the picture, his mom) pulled me around! We only went to about 10 houses, he was good with that though! Here are a few pics!
