Sad

People have been wondering why I have been sad for the past few days and I really haven't known what to say. Monday, Geofford and I found out that one of our friends Nick Hamilton passed away last week in Japan. Although I only met him a few times, I know what he meant to Geofford and his friends. He was a great guy and it was always exciting to read about his adventures on the other side of the world. Whenever Geofford and I talked about our big plans to travel to Asia (which we keep putting off...) we always planned on stopping in on Nick wherever he was. Although we aren't sure when we will make it to the other side of the world, we will definitely have to visit some of the sights in Japan.

Spring is here!

Spring is finally here! We had a brief glimpse of spring earlier this April, but then it got cold again here in Ottawa. I had planned a trip to Thunder Bay to visit Rachel and Clayton and spring was definitely in full force there. It was really nice to be outside and take walks with Rachel. It was a really nice visit as I haven't seen Rachel since my wedding last September and I haven't seen Clayton since their wedding in Mexico. Below is a picture of Rachel and I at the Terry Fox lookout. There are other pictures from the trip if you click on the photo.


With spring comes many things including tryouts for ultimate. Unfortunately (or is it fortunately), I have been unable to participate in ultimate tryouts this year, but I did go out and watch the last two tryouts. They were on beautiful sunny days, so I got quite the interesting tan. I can't believe that I already have tan lines and it is not even the middle of May yet. Here is my favourite picture from tryouts. To see some other pictures, you can click on the picture.


Geofford and Damian have both made the Coed A team, which is super exciting. It looks to be quite the good team, so hopefully they will do well this summer :)
