We took a picture of us this morning laying in the bed and emailed it to the girls. It is driving them nuts as to who was in our room taking pictures :-) We went over to breakfast and enjoyed the wonderful spread again today. Going to miss the wonderfful service immensly. We got up and we to the Craigdarroch Castle. THe hosue is wonderful. Its to bad the family sold off the surrounding lands. We would of loved to see gardens around it instead of house after house. We also went to the gov house and walked the grounds surrounding that. Dave jokingly asked where the mote was. That would of been way cool to see. The castle is currently undergoing renovations. Jenn wanted to touch the clothing in it but that was a ... read more

Port Angeles - Victoria This morning before leaving Port Angeles for Canada was quite interesting. K.C. called at 6:15 to make sure we were up in time to make our ferry and to let us know coffee was ready. I don't drink coffee but did forget to leave a wake up call so it was very nice of her to make sure we met our other travel pans. K.C also gave us water bottles to take with us so we didn't have to buy them today. She also gave us the name of the tourism guy and told us to go talk to him and gave us food places in Canada to make sure we went to. So from there we walked the 4 blocks to the ferry. The ferry was very much like the one ... read more

I wanted to say thank you to all of you for your loyalty and love and kindness over the years. We are on our way back to Victoria, but only for a week. Rod has been offered his position back in Smithers again and it is a really good opportunity for him. There is alot of room for growth and advancement in his job in Smithers that he can't get anywhere else. It is the best place for us to be at the moment. I need a home, and I need to live with my husband. It's been too hard these last couple of years not having a permenant place to live. I did grow to love Smithers last summer and am also excited for a little change. It will be exciting. All of our ... read more

Well, Rod is in the shower right now and we are getting ready to go to the airport. I have spent the last couple of days (ok....weeks) being soooo sad about leaving everyone at home. My friends, my family, my clients.... I just love where I work and have the best boss in the world. I love the great people that I work with. I can't imagine not being there every day. One of my bestest friends in the world and the most dear person ever will be having a baby while I'm away and I'm gonna miss it!!! I have also been sooo worried about all the what if's about the trip. All of the unknown's that I have no control over anyway. And then just now I realized that I am about to fly ... read more
