Cool Week End

Jillian and I both had busy weeks. So we were both happy to see the weekend. Friday I had to work  a little late on a project that is very close to wrapping up, which makes it all that more exciting at work.  So Jillian and I Went over to her parents place fora make your own pizza night. After we went home for a quiet night in I worked on a project and Jillian watched a bit of t.v.  

Jillian spent Saturday with her friends. They took all the dogs for a walk, went shopping and had dinner together. It was a full day of fun for them.

Saturday I worked on that project for a few hours. But the day really started at 3 when I went  for a skate and it started to rain.That sounds like it would suck and if it was any other day it would of. As I was driving away from the skate park I decided to give a friend of mine a call who knows of this underground skate spot your allowed to skate at. Luckily enough he was pulling into the skate park as I called him and he was down to take me to this spot. We got there and it was great with 3 obstacles to skate. They were obstacles that I don't get to skate that often, and with that in mind I thought I was not going to have a very enjoyable skate. Boy was I wrong my friend and I had a great skate. I landed tricks I have not landed in years and ended up skating for many hours and I got some footage of a couple of tricks. I am stoked the footage is bad. But I am mad stoked..

One trick is a nose grind and another tail slide 270shuv it out. Later that night I hung out with a couple friends Nick and Cody. We talked shit and watch some Basketball play offs. All in all a good day.

Sunday was a beautiful day sunny and warm. I worked a little and Jillian went for a jog. We took the dogs for a walk and then we headed off to one of my colleagues Jon's BBQ. It was fun. A really good week end.

I hope all is well with every one and hope to hear from you all soon.

Little update

Hey All, This was awhile ago so I will add a few things along the way in a different color.

Jillian and I have had a busy past couple of weeks as per usual. but here is a quick over view of some highlights. Some very big highlights.

Jillian is been training with her Sister Natalie, so when Natalie takes maternity leave Jillian will help cover her position. I think this works out for the both of them Jillian gets to shine in front of the boss's  and Natalie gets to rest knowing her position is being covered by some one who is very qualified and someone she trusts. Jillian's Sister Natalie is Due Tomorrow Friday the 16th. It is all very very exciting. Jillian is very prepared and excited for her double position at work. 

Jillian has also been having quite a few adventures, she has traveled down to Arizona to visit a friend of hers Caitlin and Jillian tells me that she had a great time and was very grateful for getting that as a Christmas present. Last week Jillian had a girls night out to see Chicago(which she loved). Apparently Caitlin has been doing very well At her job in Phoenix, AZ. So big ups to her.

She also went to the movies with Savanna, I think they saw Percy Jackson (basically a Harry Potter rip off) they had fun though. Jillian and I have seen Savanna since then and went to the movies and saw "how to Train your Dragon". It was a great movie with Great animation with a great story. It is always a good time hanging out with Savanna

Jillian and her friends are starting a book club. Jillian and her friends starting a book club and have read a tv host's book Chelsea Handler. Jillian said it was funny.

I have been working and then TAing 2 nights a week. Still illustrating that book, skating as much as I can. I was playing American football with some of Jillian's co-workers. It was a great time but it really broke up my Saturday. So I could not continue on to the next season. Maybe later in the year.

both of us together; We celebrated a good friend of ours Charlies 30th birthday 2 weekends ago. It was a very fun night. I had no voice which I think made it more fun for everyone else. We have also celebrated our friend Hilary's B'day. Jillian's B'day was a week long event with shopping spree's, present and a big night out at Jillian's favourite bar. Jillian and all of our friends had a great night.

Jillian and I went to our second meeting of adoption which was great. This meeting went well and was very informative on both sides. Since this was a pre-application meeting Jillian and I have decided to hold off on putting the application in until we are in the new house. But Jillian and I both walked away from the meeting smiling with excitement. Jillian and I are holding off of taking the next step of adoption until we are in the next house. 

So with the new house coming Jillian and I have been preparing our condo for rent. We were going to sell it, but because of the state of the economy; our condo is not worth selling yet. So we will hold on to it and keep it as an investment. There has been a lot of stress with the house and has been a fair few weeks and the whole thing was almost gone. But with great work of Jillian's brother Kevin it is back on track. We will know more in the next few days. I will keep this posted.
So over the last couple of weeks we have been making some minor adjustments to the condo eg: adding closet doors, changing some lighting fixtures and adding current heating dials.

Also some friends of ours Nick and Laura got engaged on the weekend. We are very excited for them and should be celebrating with them over the upcoming weekend.
