Empty Promises

Thank you, Indigo Eve, for pointing out that I haven't posted in over a year! Lol. This time I am for real about keeping things updated.

Here we are in the summer of 2011 and I am out of school for 4 months! I completed 4 terms (1700 hours) of my Registered Massage Therapy program. I did two terms in Victoria and two terms in New Westminster. In September I start up again and go until the following August in New West. I am currently out of school until September 6th, homeless, and loving life!

I've made many short island trips because my brother Goob married Danika, and I was in the wedding party! They got married May long weekend and it was an awesome time for everyone :) I will post a picture in here when I have one.


So far I have done 1 of the 4 week long trips I have planned. That was to spend a week in Edmonton with Leah, Ayvah (10 months) and Eddy! It was a really great time, the weather was not great for us but we had sooo much fun! A night out at West Edmonton mall where we met Darren Dutchyshen then headed to Leah's place for the rest of the week. We had one day at adventure at the lake but otherwise a lot of thunder storms and torrential downpours!

Week trip #2 is planned for July 11th when I fly to Denver to spend a week with Katie! I've missed her since she moved south of the border, and she has come to visit me many times. This time it's my turn and I can't wait!

Week trip #3 is a mish mash of activities. Coleman is taking the week off work. First for August Long weekend we will be coming to the island to help Judi with her booth at the Filberg Festival. Then we are heading up to Hot Springs Cove, where my brother Mike is the Park Ranger for the summer! We are really looking forward to hanging out in that beautiful place.

Week trip #4 is to Baltimore to see my Donkey! I met Donkey at a hostel in Madrid then hung out with her while I was living in Spain. Since then we have both returned to our home countries, she has been in Uruguay. The smarty pants got a scholarship to do her masters at a school in Baltimore, so I will be making a visit shortly after she gets to the US. I'm really looking forward to the reunion with my long lost Uruguayan!

In amongst all this, I have been massaging people and having a blast. I bought a new mountain bike and some nice rollerblades. Indigo Eve and I are once again doing the MOMAR race although my summer is looking quite recreational and not so competitive! We will have a great time though, that is September 24th.

For Canada Day Long weekend (July 1st falls on a Friday, July 4th on a Monday) I am heading south of the border to spend it with Coleman. We are going to watch drive in movies, kayak to Saddlebag Island and camp for a night, spit off Deception Pass bridge and see Fort Casey. It is going to be a fun weekend.

The only sad news of the summer so far is that I'm attempting to sell my precious yellow motorcycle. Living in Vancouver it just doesn't get used enough. :(

That is all for now! Updates to come as more adventures happen!
