Just Once
I’m sorry you have to be there and I am here. It’s not what I had pictured for this month or and I don’t think it’s what you had envisioned. It’s definitely not what I had wanted. But, life and the all mighty dollar leads the way once again. I wish I was able to bring in enough so that you didn’t have to do this for us. You say you don’t mind. But I know you do. And even if you didn’t, I DO. I do mind. Just once I want to be the one to bail us out. Just once I want things to be easier. (note: I…

So I’m sitting here bored and alone…
and it’s only been a full 24 hours. I’m such a loser. :p I got up alone and came home to an empty house. BORING. It sucks. This is when I wish that we still had a roommate. I didn’t know what to make for supper and I didn’t really want to…I was exhausted. Monday after a long weekend and crazy kids is a recipe for crashing on the couch. But I had to force myself up off of the couch and get something to eat. Mind you, it was 2 lowly, gross hotdogs. Don’t get my wrong, they tasted good but I could have/should have had something better to…

J’s last exam
So right now, J is sitting in C9 writing his last exam for his undergrad. I’m so proud! He’s going to come home happy, probably acting very subdued, and exhausted!!! It’s been a busy few weeks for him between assignments, finals, organizing a visit from my friends for my birthday, taking care of me, etc etc. He’s going to feel like dropping I’m sure. And the great guy that he is has volunteered to come in and work at the centre tomorrow. Well not volunteer exactly, as he’s getting paid, but you know what I mean. It’s J and he’s great! I wish I had all the money in the…

I can’t believe it’s all over a pinky ring ;)
It’s like a fat kid in a candy store….it’s like a kid on Christmas…the excitement is here and John couldn’t contain it. I don’t blame him either. Years ago it seemed so far off in the distance it’s hard to imagine the time has come. It’s now after 4:30. In a few short minutes the doors to the Beaverbrook Conference room are going to be locked for an hour and the “secret” ceremony Canadian Engineers go through will begin! Then it’s food and then one big party. Why it’s not on a Friday is beyond me. Oh well….I’m going to be tired tomorrow… It’s been a long time coming. John…

Oh me nerves
I’m just as nervous as he is I’m sure….Well maybe not but whatever. hehe I can kind of imagine how parents feel when their kids are doing something big/special. I’m starting to get it. John’s big presentation is in like 30 minutes and I’m a ball of nerves. I’m sitting here waiting….trying to not think about it….stall almost. But it’s not happening. 3 years of Civil have built up to this. This is the *big show* in terms of his classes. I’m really glad I was able to make it. I can’t imagine being at work and wondering how things are going. I like to be sure. I am just…
