WE had some good adventures, walking into the "down town" part of Montego bay, a tour trip snorcaling on the coral reff and to the dunsriver falls, some slrols to the local markets near the resort, and some good times on the beach. Here are just a few pictures from our adventure! I had my hair braided..kept it nice and neat the whole week AWSOME! on the Cool Runnings..out to the coral reff then on the the falls

The Foggie East Coast

This past weekend I headed out east to spend a long weekend with Cameron who was on course this summer in Gagetown NB.  After reuniting after 6 weeks apart weh rented a car and drove out to Halifax to spend some time with friends.  We picniced at Peggies Cove, walked along the Halifax Board Walk, took a tour of a ship one of our housemats is on for the sommer, and well the girls got papperd with a pedacure the guys took a tour of Keiths brewery. Sunday morning came all to fast and Cam and I were back on the road Fredricton.  During Cams time in the feild the week before I flew out, he developed an infection in one of his toes and they decided hewqas going home.  So I had some great company coming back:) We can see that God wants Cam here this summer for some reason, and we are very excited to see what he has in store for us this summer!

Cancer is Hard. Walking isn't

5 out of the 9 of us

 

This September I will be part of The Weekend to End Breast Cancer.  I will be walking 60 km over 2 days with a team of 9 women and thousands of others through the neighbourhoods of Toronto.  This is my first year walking and am very excited about training and participating in this life changing event.  Not only have we all committed to walking the 60km we have made the commitment to raise $2000.00, all proceeds benefit The Campbell Family Institute at The Princess Margaret, funding important women’s cancer research, education, services and care.  You can learn more about the walk or where the proceeds go at http://to09.endcancer.ca/site/PageServer?pagename=to09_homepage.  You can sponsor me directly on my personal page, http://www.endcancer.ca/site/TR/Events/Toronto2009?px=2969902&pg=personal&fr_id=1323 .  Thank you all for being apart of this journey.

I just want to wish my very special Mom a very Happy Mother Day! Thank you for being everything I ever needed.  You are the best mom ever!! love you soo much....And to all the other moms out there, a very happy mothers day. 

Winter Sports Day

Every year RMC hold a winter sports day were some cadets from the West Point Military Academy in the states, and everyone gets dressed up warm and plays outside. The games can be competitive and there is a wining squadron but everyone has fun. Squadron sprit is high and people are flying high with excitement. During the opening parade one guy took off running in his boxers and his body painted his squadron color. Now remember it’s the beginning of February IN CANADA! Oh what people will do to get there team pumped up! They play snow soccer, football or rugby (I’m not sure which) they do relay’s, ball hockey and of course ice hockey. This year cam played ball hockey and of course since we are the current lead team of the indoor ball hockey we lost every game of the out door. With the ice build up and slush on the ground we were glad no one got hurt, though we had some nice falls. Cameron also filled in for a game of snow soccer when they were short handed. By the last game of ball hockey I even had a chance to throw on a helmet and join in the fun.

And so it Begins

This Sunday Cameron and my local Church held a birdal shower for me. Some great a advice was given, cake was eaten and coffie was served. It was a great social event for all the laidies and we were given some great things to help us start off our life as a married couple. Thank you!

Tis' the season

Tis' the season to do lots of backing and cooking and all sorts of good things, and with many people in the country lacking the food drives are in full force. So our cell (small) group we decided for our "fun" night we would all meet at the grocery store and pool our money together and shop for the food bank. Here are a couple pictures from our adventure in the grocery store:) our gang

Before I "Fly the coop for good"

Last weekend I was spoiled by none other then the greatest Dad is the world. With less then 90 days till my big day Dad thought the two of us should spend some quality time together. So off we flew to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were we drove to Lancaster and went to the sights and sounds theater. Best live theater (I think in the world) the stage was 300 ft long, with live animals and fantastic actors. The production we went to see was the Christmas Story starting at the betrothal of Mary and Joseph till the birth of Christ, it was truly amazing I enjoyed every minute. a shot from the out side (the place was BIG) The next day we went to check out the reconstruction of the tabernacle that Moses build in Bible times which was a real “hands on” experience. Later we headed back on rout to Philly and stopped for a buggy ride in an Amish Community. We road along the country side to a store and back, it was like living in the olden days of house and buggy. It was neat to learn about the coulter if the Amish. After that we enjoyed a scenic rout back to Philly (quite pretty with a skiff of snow). our Buggy After getting settled in our hotel in New Jersey we headed back over the Ben Franklin Bridge to The Wachovia Stadium to see the Flyers play the Coyotes, again another fun and exciting event. Sunday brought on our day in Philadelphia where we went on a tour trolley getting on and off and different locations around the city. This was like an information overload day there was so much to be told about the city and sooooo much to see. We enjoyed lunch in China Town and ran up the Rocky stairs, was a bit of the Philly Marathon, saw Ben Franklins Grave and much much much much more TO DAD Thanks DAD this was truly the trip of a lifetime! I love you soo much .....your Daughter who you have spoiled rotten! hugs and kisses Kari
