A New Baby

Congratulations to Michelle and Randy on the birth of their new baby boy! It's boy number 2.

Little Declan is his name and he was born at 10:45am Tuesday.

We all eagerly await the first photos and wish mom and dad well as they bring Declan home to meet his older brother.

Best Wishes!!

Camping Trip

So I promised an update on the bachelorette camping trip I went on last Saturday at Emily park.

I had a really good time. I had a killer week at work, so I was really looking forward to this camping trip to relax, and well yes, drink! There were 8 of us who came and of course being girls, we were super organized and had extras of everything (air mattresses, tents), which proved to be good, since one of our tents had a zipper problem later in the evening.

Basically, we set-up our tents and then just talked for a bit, then made dinner (chicken, baked potatos and corn on the cob roasted over the fire, it was yummy!). Kudos to Su (Heather's maid of honour) for pretty much doing all of the cooking for us.

After dinner, we just hung out around the fire and drank and played a game called "I Never". Later in the evening, we had three young men ( boys might be more appropriate) come visit us at our camp site. And no they were not strippers. I won't get into the whole story here, but after the park lady came by to tell us to quiet down, we decided to ask the boys to move along to the next camp site.

It was a good time had by all and think we might end up doing it all again sometime, just as a fun trip.
The only drawback was, I felt soooooo tired the next morning and really achy, like I gone to the gym or something. Not sure why, maybe it's that whole you can't party like your 20 anymore, when your 34. Darn that.

Good times!

Odds & Ends

So I realize I have already been busted for my pledge (I have to stop making those) to write a blog at least once a week (thanks Chris!).

Last Friday night I met up with Anna & Geoff and Lisa & Aaron for dinner in Whitby at the Outback. We all had a nice dinner and then went and saw the movie The Bourne Ultimatum. I had not actually seen the first two movies, but I was still able to keep up and it was a very good movie, worth the price of admisssion.

This upcoming weekend I will be attending my friend Heather's bachelorette party. We are doing an overnight camping trip in the wilds of Emily Park. I will let you all know how it goes next week.

I still have to find a dress for the wedding. Of course, all of the stores already have there fall clothes coming in which is going to make finding a dress even more difficult. I have to say though, I love seeing the new fall fashions coming in. I suppose fall brings with it new possibilities.

In any case, the search is on for a dress, if anyone knows some good stores to try, let me know.
