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…

It’s been 4 years
…4 long (yet short) years. I haven’t forgotten. I still don’t have the voice to say what I want so I’ll let the words I wrote four years ago sound out. There is so much I want to say about my Gram, but I don’t know where to start and I honestly wouldn’t be able to stand before you today because of the impact of losing her has had on us all. I’m sure you all have different poignant memories and stories to share, which I feel is her greatest gift. I struggled with the thoughts of being strong enough to speak but I would rather leave it to someone…

Step by Step
Step one: We can have lots of fun Step two: There’s so much we can do Step three: It’s just you and me Step four: I can give you more Step five: Don’t you know that the time has arrived!! HUH! :scared: So it has been officially announced: :scared: Near the end of the second segment (interview) you hear a snippet of their new stuff. Oh dear is all I can say. Doesn’t that bring you back 12-15 years! WOW. They look so old….some still aren’t bad…especially for being near 40. Man, all the the screaming fans made me laugh in that video. They are all like our age or…

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…

Two weeks.
Two weeks from today my hubby will be part of an ‘exclusive club.’ One with a ‘secret’ ceremony. He will become an Engineer with the iron ring….well, an engineer without his professional stamp (that’ll come in another 4 or so years) but still. But to many, the iron ring is it. He’s worked long and hard for this little (well size 10 isn’t so little I guess) pinky ring. He’s going to be beaming. As am I. I just wish I could go, but alas, I do not have an iron ring or am I graduating from Eng. this year so I cannot attend. I will still see him off…
