Merry Christmas!
2006 has been an extremely busy, life changing year for us. The first quarter was dedicated to getting everything ready for our wedding in April. It was exactly what we had imagined. The events were planned to perfection. Imagine that 😉 A big thank you to those of you who were able to share in our special day. We spent our honeymoon in Canmore with day trips to the Banff Springs Spa and a cave tour. I may have had the best steak of my life at that hotel.
Our summer was busy, as usual, with weddings, weekend trips home and to the mountains. A highlight of the summer for me was hiking the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island with my little brother, Cam. What an amazing bonding time! Rob and I spent the following week between Victoria and Vancouver, enjoying our holiday with friends and family.
I was flying to my various VSO sessions which allowed me to see Ottawa and Montreal for the first time. At last I got word that we were heading to Guyana! Dawn was on the West Coast Trail at this point so I couldn’t tell her until I picked her up in Victoria. We spent the next couple of months frantically trying to get everything in order for our trip, quit our jobs and moved our stuff to Medicine Hat. Soon it was Canadian Thanksgiving and we were on the plane, headed south.
And that’s where all of you faithful bloggers started the journey with us. We have experienced an incredible amount of things so far, and haven’t even reached our half way point yet! We’re so lucky to have had such a remarkable year, and such an amazing first year of marriage. It’s been really nice to be able to support and learn from one another as we explore another culture. It’s also been great to have support and encouragement from all of you.
From Guyana, we would like to send out a warm (well hot and humid) Christmas greeting! Best wishes and stay in touch in 2007!
Here’s are a couple Christmas videos.
