With the threat of a winter storm tomorrow and traffic being horrific, it may be time to do our part to end the OC Transpo strike that has been on for the past 28 days. I received the petition from a friend and found the information regarding the feedback to the industrial relations board after hearing a news article on the cbc. *************************** There is a petition for transit being

Things have been quite hectic for the Seaborn family this summer. Even though only one of us was playing competitive ultimate, the summer just flew by. It's hard to remember how we spent Connor's first summer.We took an early vacation to coincide with Geofford's regionals tournament in Waterloo and we spent the week at Cawaja beach on Georgian Bay. It was quite the relaxing week and it was

So I have been negligent with my posts in the past little while, but with good reason. I recently got a job (in April) with Valcom where I am working a contract with the Canadian Coast Guard. Geofford is now at home taking care of Connor. We have started a new flickr photostream where you can find a ton of fun pictures of Connor, as well as pictures of us.I will post more sooner than later to

I have never seen a winter storm warning like the one they currently have posted on Environment Canada's weather warnings. Here is the text from it. I am thinking that we will be housebound today as I do not want to get stuck in the storm with a 4-month old.

Time does fly when you are having fun, or is it because I am so tired? This month seems to have gone by in such a blur. I blame it all on ultimate and the late nights that are associated with playing indoor. I think that I have to stop scheduling things for Thursday mornings because it is tough getting out of bed after playing late on Wednesday night (which is not always the case, but I always

Wow, it is hard to believe that Connor is already three months. I finally got him weighed today and he weighs 6.1 kg (13 lbs 7 oz), so he has gained just under 3 kg! The last time we measured him, he was approximately 60 cm (approximately because he wouldn't stay still for us to measure him).This month has been fairly busy with many visits with new friends.

Connor was Winnie the Pooh this year. I think that he was pretty cute. We only went to three neighbours homes this year and he managed to get mom and dad some twix bars :)

Connor's 2nd month has been a busy one, so it is hard to believe that our little man is already two months old! We are starting to develop a schedule, which is great because now I have a little bit of time to work on chores and also the thank you notes. For those of you who have given Connor gifts over the past two months, thank you! The thank you notes are on their way :) Hopefully I'll have

It is hard to believe that Connor has been in our lives for 5 weeks. Although it is tough waking up every three hours during the night to feed him, it is definitely worth it to see him open up his eyes and smile (or is it just gas?).This past month has its ups and downs. The downs were mostly caused by his feedings and his weight. For the first couple of weeks we were constantly at the

Connor (middle name pending) Seaborn was born at the Civic Hospital on August 11, 2007 at 14:31. He weighed 7lbs4oz and measured 19.7in.As Connor's father was competing at the Canadian Ultimate Championships from Aug 9-12th in Toronto, we had to call him back early Friday morning (~2am) when my water broke. Labour was induced after a few consults with cardiology/family medecine and obstetrics

I can't believe that we are only 5.5 weeks away from the baby's due date. For Geofford and my parents' sake, I hope the baby arrives after August 14th ;) For my sanity, I hope the baby arrives in August because we are getting carpet put in July 24/25th, and I figure I can put together the baby's room in a week if I need to, but it would be nice to have more time.As the due date comes closer, I

I didn't think that heat would be such an issue during the pregnancy as I have been generally quite cold so far. As the temperature has been gradually increasing, I have been becoming increasingly uncomfortable. Unfortunately we have not been able to install an air conditioner in our room yet, so getting to sleep is quite difficult. I'm not sure how much I will enjoy having an air conditioner

It's hard to believe that I am into my third trimester. It just seems like yesterday I just found out that I was pregnant. My belly is definitely getting bigger, but I do have a lot more energy nowadays, so that's good. August 23rd is coming quickly and hopefully Geofford and I will be able to get everything ready before the baby arrives.

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

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

After a couple of ultrasounds and many doctor's visits, we now have an updated due date of August 23, 2007. This puts me at week 22, which is a little over half way. This is pretty scary and exciting because it means that we are that much closer to meeting Baby Seaborn. :)My pregnancy is so much better now. As mentioned before I was quite nauseous during the first part of the pregnancy and I

Well, it turns out we didn't just bring souvenirs home from Hawaii, we also brought home a third life. :) We found out on Francis' birthday that we will be expecting a baby in August. This was a little bit of surprise since we were not planning on having children so early in our married lives, but we are still very excited. The baby is due August 19, but I think that the doctors are off, so I

Pictures from our honeymoon can be viewed here. Enjoy!Putting everything into perspective, despite our travel problems, we were in Hawaii, so that was a lot of fun. And things could only get better from this point. All of a sudden, I woke up to hear this great big booming noise, like cannons were going off. As I was still tired from the channels, I looked at the clock (it was 5am) and hoped that

We haven't received our official pictures yet, but my dad posted some of his here, and I have attached one of our pictures from my camera.

Thanks to all who attended my bridal shower today, and thanks to those who attended in spirit - you know who you are. A huge thanks to Tracy, Kathy, and Lisa for making the day really special. I'm not sure that I really liked all the attention, but it was nice to get a little dry-run in before the wedding when I'm guessing that I will have a lot more attention. Fortunately on the wedding day, I

and I am going with them on my second trip to Halifax for the summer. So I couldn't stay away from Ultimate for too long, so now I will be training with HammerHead and going to Nationals with them in Halifax. We came in 2nd at Ontario Regionals, so that was super exciting. Can't wait to go to Halifax for the 2nd time this summer. :)

So, I have been a bit of a slacker over the past few months at posting, but it wasn't for a lack of being busy. Geofford and I have visited his parents (actually just his mom as his dad was camping near Montebello) over the May long weekend. Although the weekend was really cold, it was a great weekend of well deserved rest. Geofford and I worked on making our wedding invitations, and we got to

It's been a busy month, and the only time that I had internet access, I have been checking my email and answering emails regarding ultimate. It's been pretty busy organizing things for HammerHead (the OCUA Coed A team), and for the OCUA Youth program. My job at GoodLife has me working many hours as well, which really cuts into my free time. Fortunately, I have been able to book some time off

Geofford and I went to Tremblant on Sunday and had a fabulous time. The weather was great, the conditions were great (until the end of the day when we had to get to the bottom of the hill, which was crap). The only problem was that we were both exhausted, which really didn't help our snowboarding. I was tired because I just started a new job and am working many hours so that I can get trained

I got a job at GoodLife Fitness as a Manager in Training. I am super excited about this opportunity. It will be very different than any other job that I have ever had before, but with this position I will have the opportunity to work directly with people in the fitness industry. I will also be working with Jaime Boss, so that should be tons of fun.I also wrote my CSCS exam on Saturday and I

No, not for the wedding. I have that many days until I write my exam to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certification Commission. I feel mostly ready, I just have to review small recall facts, but I really feel that I am ready. As I was studying for this exam, I realized that this is the subject that

Tracy and I ventured to Toronto this week to try and find Chinese Silk for a cheongsam for my wedding. While in Toronto, I was able to have dinner with Courtney and Jen who I haven't seen in ages, so that was great. It was awesome to be able to catch up, and as Courtney was saying, although we haven't seen each other in a while, it just seems like yesterday the last time we hung out. I also got

More of my friends have had beautiful babies, and both babies and mothers are doing well. As both families reside in Waterloo, I haven't had the chance to meet the bundles of joy, although I have been able to see some pictures.Erin and John Schmidt had a baby girl named Jessica. Here are some pictures of her.Christina and Rob Wood had a baby boy named Liam (I think?) on March 6. Here are some

We have put our deposit down at the Congress Centre, so we will be having our reception at that venue. I am quite excited about my wedding, even though it is a long way away, which is very good, because there are so many details left to handle.The major things that we have to still tackle are:-flowers-dj (which Geofford is in charge of because he is more interested in that)-my chinese wedding

I have been battling a cold for the past two weeks, and finally I am beginning to win. I can almost walk up the stairs without coughing up a storm, and I think I may try to go to the gym to do some light aerobic exercise to get my fitness regime back on track.This cold that I have been fighting has been one of the worst in a little while. I have these coughing attacks that just come out that I

It has been a rough week, but it is starting to look a little better, despite being sick, because the 20th Winter Olympics in Turin (or Torino if you are Italian) have started, and Canada has won its first medal, which turns out to be a Gold one. Congratulations to Jennifer Heil for winning Gold in women's moguls.The week started out quite well, Geofford and I celebrated his friend Mehmet's

Happy Chinese New Year! Yesterday was the first day of the year of the Dog, and we bid farewell to the year of the Rooster, which I debate can also be called the year of the Chicken, since Rooster's are just male chickens, and in Chinese there is no distinction between male chickens and female chickens, so why don't we English-speaking chinese new year celebrators use the generic term for the

Well I had some fabulous Christmas presents this year, but if I did have to pick a favorite, it would have to be my engagement ring.Geofford and I exchanged Christmas presents on Christmas eve as we were together with his parents. I was shocked and surprised when he picked me up on Christmas day to go to Christmas dinner that he had another present for me and wanted to wait until Christmas day

Now I am just waiting to see if I passed all my courses to see if I receive the degree :)I have also finished my contract at Alcatel.It's a strange feeling now being done.

Shay Patrick Thibert was born November 30th at 5:14pm to Lisa Reynolds and Stephan Thibert.He is a super good baby when I went to meet him, but then again he was only 1 day old, so he was pretty tired and slept alot. He was quite quiet during the time that I went to visit him at the hospital.Lisa is doing well. Tired, but well. I'm sure she can't wait to take Shay home.

It is still raining outside, and it feels like the city is in mourning. The saying, "When it rains, it pours" is really true. C-Po (known outside ultimate circles as Chris Powell), passed away on Saturday morning in Montreal while attending Canadian Ultimate University Nationals (CUUC). We still do not know all the details, but what I do know is that there is a big hole in our community right

This past week-end has been a mixture of sadness and happiness. Last Friday, I attended the funeral of Douglas Brash, who was the father of my friend Jason. Mr. Brash passed away at the age of 54 from pancreatic cancer, which I learned has the highest fatality rate of the different kinds of cancers. It was an emotionally draining day as I don't think that I have ever seen Jason so sad.I had to

I have started school again. I am in my final semester of my Master's. Although I am only taking three courses, the work load is going to be super heavy. Ah well, hopefully I can handle it between working at Alcatel and playing ultimate. I am trying to keep ultimate to a minimum so that I can focus on school, but it is always hard because I love playing.seVen went to Chez Memphre in

It was so nice break to get up to Cawaja beach this past week. Geofford and I left on Saturday morning (not as early as we hoped...darn bike rack) to go up to the "cottage" (aka Geofford's parent's house) for a break. Our drive up was somewhat eventful for a couple reasons: a) I haven't driven a standard transmission in a while and b) we weren't expecting to see a parade in Kinmount.The rest

Wow, so the past couple of days/weeks have been a big blur. Basically I have been waking up, going to the Boys and Girls Club, then going to Alcatel, then off to Ultimate (Mondays - Strange Brew, Tuesdays & Thursdays - seVen, and Wednesdays - O2), then off to bed to get some rest before repeating. Last week was a little different as we had the night off on Thursday, although Derek and I had a

We decided to do something different for Canada Day this year to avoid the crowds. Mr. Snippe graciously lent Tony his boat for the weekend (Friday and Saturday) and a bunch of us toured the Rideau Canal waterway.Some pictures can be seen here (Gallery -> 2005 Canada Day)

has just gotten busier. I thought that working at the Boys and Girls Club full-time, playing ultimate with Strange Brew on Monday nights, coaching ultimate with O2 (the OCUA Juniors B team) on Wednesday nights, and practicing with seVen on Tuesday and Thursday nights, plus touring to different cities (Middlebury VT, Devens MA, North Bay ON, etc) wasn't enough, butI have accepted a contract

The month of May started off pretty crappy as we were making the final cuts for seVen which was very tough and I also got very sick.

I would have thought that I would have had a lot more free time once school ended, but since school ended two weeks ago, I have felt very busy. I think part of that stems from me trying to catch up with my sleep, but there are just so many things to do in a day.Part of the lack of free time can be attributed to Ultimate. We are currently going through tryouts from the Coed Competitive Stream of

I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. I completed two out of four "assigments" due Thursday and Friday and now only have one paper and one presentation left to finish, and both are due on Tuesday, so I am quite excited that the terms is coming to a close. I have about 15 pages left to write , and a presentation to prepare for Tuesday, but I have faith that I will get them done.On a

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter! I have spent the morning working on my paper. I believe I have 8 pages completed, which is far off from the 25-30 pages needed, but I am getting there one page at a time.Last night I attended the Easter Vigil mass at Good Shepherd. It is by far one of the most beautiful celebrations of the liturgical year. We started off the mass outside around a fire with all of

My research paper is suprisingly going okay. Although I started with some serious writer's block, I have been able to type out 5 pages in the past 3 days, which I have been quite happy about, if I can get the section on athletic scholarships finished by the end of the weekend, then I should be on schedule to finish before easter, so then I can focus on the other two assignments that are due next

So my birthday is June, but I finally got my birthday present from Geofford on Sunday (March 13). He got me a hydration pack, specifically the MEC Big H/O Hydration Pack. I got the grey one, so that it matches my school bag/laptop bag. Despite it being 3 months from my 2005 birthday, I was still very excited to get the bag, just in time to start using it on the slopes. Geoff claims that it is

Yesterday was an exciting day for Tony (Geofford's Roomate). He had decided to propose to his girlfriend Erin. We (Tony, Erin, Drew, Otia, Geofford and I) started off the evening at East Side Mario's. It was exciting for the rest of us because we knew what would be happening later that night. After copious amounts of salad, bread, and pasta, we all headed down to the canal.We put our skates on (

Wow it's been over a week since I got back from Mexico, so here is my brief synopsis about my trip. I am very glad to have gone to Mexico for the week because it was very nice to see my friends and also meet new friends. The only unfortunate part of going away on a trip is coming back to reality is coming home. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it) our flight was delayed

So we are home safe and sound from Mexico. It was an awesome trip despite some hiccups, but I had a great time. The wedding was awesome, and Rachel and Clayton's friends were so much fun. It was really hard leaving (not only because it is cold here) but also it was hard leaving old friends and the new friends that I made over the past week. I would write more, but I am supposed to be studying

Well, I learned the hard way that I really should learn to confront people and get to the bottom of things before I make any assumptions. I also learned that people do read what I post. I also learned that I should not post things first thing in the morning before thinking things through. All in all, I guess the good thing about me venting yesterday that it allowed the lines of communication to

I have insomnia whenever I am stressed about something, and last night was no exception. The thing that is really stressing (and bothering) me the most is actually one of my recreation activities. Ultimate. I am one of the captains of seVen, which is the Ottawa-Carleton Ultimate Association (OCUA)'s competitive coed ultimate team. OCUA wants to develop its program for competitive program to

Since we have passed into a New Year, I decided to redesign my blog, just for a change. I was getting tired of the purple. I think it looks better, but that's just my opinion. It is now the Year of the Rooster which is my brother's year, which means he is turing 24 this year. I was reading my horoscope for this year (I am a fire snake) from astrology.com and things look quite promising. The

I am glad that it is finally Tuesday as this is the light at the end of my tunnel. Unfortunately it is raining outside, the canal is no longer open, we still have a smog advisory in effect, and I am so tired. I think that I have presented something in every class that i have had this week (so 3), BUT I only have one class left for this week, one next week, before I go to the Mayan Riviera!

So I seem to procrastinating more than I should, but my excuse right now is that I'm sick with a cold. Anywho, while surfing, I found this interesting quiz on blogthings about what breed of puppy you would be. There are a few questions to answer, and then out pops an answer. I think that my answer is pretty interesting considering the sport that I enjoy to play....and I know now why I am so drawn

Today was one of the nicest days of winter so far. It wasn't too cold, yet not too warm that the Canal was cold. The high temperature was -6 C, which brought tons of people out onto the Canal. Geofford, Keating, and I started out at the Somerset entrance and we were going to meet Brash and Vero at 5th Avenue where she was going to rent some skates. Unfortunately Keating's skates were too small,

I seem to be addicted to books, and fortunately for my schoolwork, I only have a limited number of non-school books at my disposal. The rest of my "leisure" books are back at my parent's place, which is really fortunate. If all of my books were at my disposal, I don't think that I would get anything done. I'm not sure how many people actually read my blog, but I'm going to start recommended

So school has started again, and along with school comes the many assignments. This semster I am taking courses in Political Economy of Sport, Marketing of Sport, Sport in Canadian Life, and a seminar in Professional Environment (aka how to make presentations). There is a lot of reading to do for these courses, and fortunately most of it is semi-interesting as it usually somehow relates back to

Well, I am glad that the holidays are over because I feel ready to go back to school. I am also excited about not having to feast every day, although I know that it is a luxery that no everyone can enjoy. I'm sure this will all change next week :) On a more serious note, if you still have some extra dough after the holiday rush and are still feel generous, you might be interested in donating to

Happy Holidays to everyone who reads this! I would say Merry Christmas, but since that was a couple of days ago, it doesn't really apply now. So judging from my number of posts, I have been quite busy in the month of december, and I hope to be caught up with everything by the time that school starts again on the 5th (but technically 6th since I don't have any classes on Wednesdays).

Geofford turned 28 yesterday so now he is older than me again...until it is time for my birthday...and then we will be the same age again. I know it's hard to tell because I seem so much more mature. hee hee.... Well, after ultimate last night, we met some of his friends at Bravo Bravo for dinner (because it was close and it has pretty good food). Geoff's Birthday present...is himself?

It's snowing today, which makes me very happy :) Although I got very wet from the snow on my walk to school and I was dripping because it was such a wet snow, I'm happy because it makes it a lot prettier outside and it means that I might be able to go boarding soon. It also puts me in the Christmas spirit (although you'd think taking Santa Claus pictures at the mall would also do that, but it

Phew...I have exactly one week left of school - and only three assignments left (each probably weighted about half of my school year...but whatever...only three left!). School has been a lot busier than originally anticipated (which is probably normal), which is why there has been an absense of posts and also contact with most people. For those of you who haven't spoken to in a while, I am also

Shanna and Leigh's wedding was a beautiful day despite the rain. I was really happy to be able to be a part of the wedding party. Here are some pictures from the day. Here are more pictures from the photographer Marilyn Mikkelsen (posed colour photos) and her husband Ralph (black and white candids) plus Shanna and Leigh's honeymoon.

It seems to be a trend to travel to the U.S. to spend Canadian Thanksgiving. This past weekend, I travelled to Boston for two reasons - my cousin Amy's wedding (and all of the festivities), and the UPA Northeast Regionals. It was a very fun weekend despite the long drive. The weekend started out early Friday morning when Geoff, Damian, Melody, and I departed from Ottawa and started on our

Our ultimate travelled to Geneva, NY yesterday to compete at Sectionals for Upstate NY. I have posted the details on our seVen blog. We won the tournament, which is the first tournament that we have won, which means that we are competing at Regionals in Devens, MA. The Fall seVen team after winning! The trip was long because we drove down on Friday night and stayed at a Econolodge in

seVen has competed in our first Fall Tournament - Spirit, and we made it to the finals which was very exciting. On the other hand, I hurt my shoulder AGAIN during the semi-final so I had to stand on the sidelines watching. Apparantly the commentators (the final was televised) were making fun of me because I only had one arm, so I am quite interested in watching the replay on Rogers. The women

It is my parent's 30th Anniversary this year, so they organized a big dinner in Toronto to host their family and friends. There were about 30 people in attendance and it was a wonderful time. I am in the process of posting up pictures, but will include the link when I can.

Now that I am back in school, I feel that I should post more on my blog :) Well, I am supposed to be doing homework, but as usual I am procrastinating, so I figured I might as well do something somewhat useful by updating my blog. Hmm, let's see what I have done since I have returned from Vancouver... The first week back I basically slothed around my apartment and my parent's house. There was

We had such big plans for walking on the Tuesday to start preparing for our tournament, but due to the rain and then humidity, we decided only to walk to and from lunch at a local sushi place. The sushi was good, but not as amazing as other sushi that I'd had before. After lunch, we headed to UBC via downtown, checked in and then went up to meet up with my friend Jethro and his fiance Lisa.
