Birthday Knives

So I found out Aaron got his knife yesterday so I was able to post this!! Happy 28th Birthday Aaron by the way! Dad had been telling me about Jeanie's brother being able to make custom knives and I knew for a month or so now that Dad had planned on getting a knife made for Brian for his birthday. I just so happened that Huey had finished making it and brought it to Kamloops when we were visiting. Long story short, Dad decided to give Brian his knife early as it suited the weekend so well (the gun show, dinner with Huey, Carol and Wayne...) Anyhow, Brian absolutely loved his knife... he could not stop smiling and is showing it off to all his friends! Brian's has a Buffalo horn handle and Aaron's has the wooden handle with the engraving on the centre piece. I bet Aaron loves his just as much. What an awesome gift.

Bye Bye Kamloops House

Brian and I had the honour of being the last guests at Dad and Jeanie's house in Kamloops! They have sold their house and will be moving on down to their new river front trailer park (temporary of course!) later this week. We stayed from Thursday night till Sunday afternoon and had a great time! Highlights included Take Sushi! The Gun & Antique Show, Dinner with Jeanie's brother Huey, sister-in-law Carol and Dad's friend Wayne... and of course, the new and amazing 'beer' waffle breakfast! Thanks again for an awesome time Dad and Jeanie!!!

Hiking in Kamloops

When we were in Kamloops this weekend, Brian and I went for a hike on this mountain that is just covered in trails... the view was just amazing from higher up! ( We didnt get to the top!!)

Can I complain just a little?

So Nadia and I reached a huge milestone with our running on Sunday.... our running is MUCH longer now... we did 2 sets of 20 minutes!

On Tuesday I went for a run with Kristie (got in 20 min non stop) and then on Wednesday Nadia and I did our next session, 2 sets of 22 minutes... and then yesterday, I went running with Kristie again... just a quick run on our lunch break and got in over 18 minutes.

I am SOOOO sore this morning.... ugh, but it is muscle soreness in all the right places! I will rest today and I am going to go walking with Julie tomorrow and then on to my next 2 sets of 25 with Nadia Sunday!!!

Anyhow, all complaining aside about the soreness... I am super proud of how far I am coming with the running, I never thought I could really do what I am doing and I just want to keep going!!

Happy Easter and A Special Gift for Us

Brian and I got the most amazing Easter gift today... we were told by our landlord this morning that we can have Tag here with us in Langley! We are both thrilled, but we do have to wait a month or so until landscaping is done in the yard... still, its just great news!

We also went hiking today... picked up Tag in Abby and headed out to Mission. It was a perfect day for it... the picture above is our lunch break, we shared our Timmies sandwiches with Tag as I forgot to bring him anything to eat!!! Oops...

Cotton Candy Ice Cream!

I totally forgot to blog this! Was it last weekend? Or the weekend before?? Anyhow, Julie and I took Cali out for Ice Cream at the dairy farm... its just a cute picture!
