Glad to see the ball rolling again.

I check this thing everyday but can never remember the sign in details. Anyways, no excuse.
I'm glad Scott and Tam have gotten the ball rolling again. I wanted to congratulate you both on the new homes as well. I cant wait to see them both. Is there ant pics on line of your new place Tam?
Well, I will be home soon followed by Beth and Adam. It's been so long since I've lived there and I really cant wait! All of us living in the same province for the first time in 10 years....I can't believe its been so long.
I was up in Edmonton visiting Beth and Adam last week during their tournament. It was great to see you both but the next time will be on our native soil.I know you guys are excited as I am to get home.
So not much to talk about. See you all very soon.

Love, J.

Thank God Someone Else Posted!

Scott, I hear ya! I check this thing everyday but I was the last one to post and didn't want to put two in a row on there. Scott, I was also waiting for you to announce your house! I had to let you post it first because you are older and technically I think you bought your house one day before we bought ours.

My basketball team won provincials last week. It was an exciting final game and I am glad to finally get a little break. This summer I was asked to help out with our U16 Provincial team so that should be a good learning experience.

This morning I signed up AND PAID FOR the Bluenose Half Marathon. You remember that one? It's the same day as the 10km we all chickened out of last year. Anyway, I paid so I better start training. How hard can it be to run a half marathon?? I'll let you know.

What else is new with everyone else?

Love ya,
Tam :)

You Guys All Suck at This Blogging Thing

Where are you guys? I have a huge workload at work, two kids at home, we have searched for found and bought a house, I have moved once with another one to come, I have taken on the presidency of the Sackville/Cobequid Liberal association again, I am back volunteering at the Lions Club, and am currently doing research for getting a business off the ground with James and Dad. I am still checking the blog and posting. So I am calling you all out. Post or prepare to hear about it.

Still Love you all - just want to hear from you.

Hello Family

Beth, that's exciting news. It must give you some kind of peace that you have made a decision. I'm sure your students, coworkers and players will miss you.

Neil, I hear you and Kirsten have been quite busy helping mom get the house ready. It's good that you guys are there.

Scott, thanks for making mom apart of your house buying decision. She was so happy when I spoke to her yesterday. Give Linda a big hug and kiss for us!

J, what's new? I had to buy 35 return flights from Halifax to Calgary on Friday. There is a huge seat sale the beginning of June. I got my return flights for $522 tax in! Just a heads up but I hope you can come home even sooner then that.

Works busy as usual and basketball will be wrapping up soon. We've got our playoff games this week and my best player is suspended for a week for getting into a fight :(

Hope you are all well and keep on blogging! Love you,
T :)

Guess I've been a tad hypocritical!

Hey Guys,

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted...and after me getting on you guys about not posting..I am truely ashamed! So how has everyone been? I here the real-estate bug is getting past around our family lately! That's great..such exciting times ahead..congrats Tammy and Scott..you must be so excited..I can't wait to see the new pads. Now lets just keep our fingers crossed that everything will workout paper wise and stuff.

Not a whole lot going on in this neck of the woods...I guess that's why I haven't been posting..cause there is not much to tell...We are into second semester now and I don't have my prep first period anymore (another reason my posting numbers have decreased)..so I find the days fly by even faster than before. I am teaching PE girls, a Recreation and Leadership class, and Cooking! So far everything is going great and I love my classes...Our basketabll team is still getting better..we played this week and only lost by about 10pts..so we were pretty pleased with that. We are taking them to Edmonton for a tournament there next weekend...Jamie did you find out if you could meet up with us..our first game is Friday the 15th at 3:30..then we're going to go to WEM that evening..hopefully you can join us.

Other than school and basketball there isn't a whole lot else going on...my day consists of work, then practice, supper with Adam and then at least one episode of West Wing Season 1, that we got for xmas! I now, we're losers! But we can't get enough.

Oh there is one thing I forgot to mention...We're coming home for sure in August! Adam and I decided last week that we are going to move home at the end of this year when our lease is up. We love our jobs but this just isn't home and we want to start building our life there because that's is where we see our future being. Not to mention, the longer we stay here the more difficult it will be to leave...I am already very attached to my job and my students...plus our basketball team is a huge factor as well...the best thing to do is to start building those sorts of realtionships with ppl at home where we know we'll be for a while...Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that...we're ot sure what part of NS we'll be in..that totally depends on where we can both get work...but we're hoping for the metro area..but who knows.

Well, I better sign off here..must get back to work...love you all tones..and can't wait to read more postings on here from you guys

Love Beth

Hello to my favorite people in the world,

Not a whole lot new here. Just working a lot, which is good.I did manage to get up to Edmonton on Saturday night and then back down to RD for the best Superbowl I have ever seen.I just want the record to show that I picked NY to win and I said it was going to be a low scoring game.Anyways,a game for the ages!
Hope your all doing well. I'm not sure if everyone is calling Mom on a regular basis but we all should be.Shes having an incredible difficult time with all of this and needs to know that we care.10 mins. every second day is all it takes.I don't mean to preach,I know we're all busy. I can just tell that she needs us now more than ever.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you Neil for being my own personal cupid this week.I realize you have a ton on your plate and it means so much that you and Kirsten take the time to help me out.
Okay,well until next time!! Love you all. ;)
