Well, this post is a little delayed but whatever! Last week I got a call at work saying I had won tickets to the Wedding Fair in Vancouver. So, I called up my girlfriend who is getting married in June and we went off for a day of fun last Saturday. Well, it was a good time indeed!
Because we are planning on having some sort of reception after Ronel arrives, I went as a bride to the fair and so you get to enter into TONS of draws for lots of free stuff as well as a chance to win an $87,000 dream wedding, which Shealyn entered. We got lots of info on all aspects of planning a wedding and saw some neat ideas, but it was also crazy! There were SO MANY people there and it was absolutely packed everywhere you turned! It was a good girls' day out though and it was nice to spend time with Shealyn, as we haven't done as much of that as we would like to, between my job and her school schedule we are busy people!
I don't think I have won any prizes from the fair but they haven't posted the winners yet but I am happy that I won the tickets to the fair and that I got the chance to go and see everything they had to offer.

T! I'm glad to see you're posting regularly. I missed hearing your thoughts and experiences when you were on hiatus from blogging!
I wished we lived closer together too - it would be so nice to chat IN PERSON. The other night as I was going through my journal, I read my initial thoughts on each of the kids! Awww . . . it's so cool to read my first impressions and now be on this end and having gotten to know them as I did.
Here is an exerpt from another entry regarding my initial experience at the orphanage:
"The bugs were really bad on teh first night. Reason: T, M & I were busy unpacking and had some lights on. Anyway, it was disgusting and made me wonder what I have got myself into. The shower is good - not as rustic as I first thought! T & I have our own shelf in the cabinet, so that's cool. Since "we are on septic" we ONLY flush the tp if we pooh - ha! The things we are open about here!"
Hahaha. Good times.
Yes, you get to know people so much faster in Haiti hey! I too am glad that I can post more often. It also means that I get to check other people's blogs more often.
Hey, just saw on your MSN message that you got an apartment! CONGRATS!
