Wedding

2006-10-17T16:55:00.000-03:00

Over the thanksgiving week-end Alicia’s mom got married. Here are some choice pictures of the wedding. The day was beautiful as were all the colors. What could be better than fall in Cape Breton, especially at the camp, gorgeous.

Demolition Derby Day

2006-09-11T12:38:00.000-03:00

So, I just finished a really great post for this page, but I went to paste something on the post, and I erased the whole great story I wrote. So now I’m giving the edited, I’m so p/o I’m doing this again version. We attend this Church in Sussex called Apohaqui Community Church, and they had the cool idea of entering a car in the local Demolition Derby, to make some connections with folks who may not attend churches. Here are two pics of the car. The first pic is after the first race, so you can see a few dings in the car already. And the after pic is before the end of the demolition past, so the car ends up in worse shape than this picture shows. And the video is from the bump and pass race. A car has to bump the car in front of it in order to pass the car. The video is rough, it’s only taken from our digital camera.. but you get a small idea of the chaos.. good times.

Where to start.. its been almost 2 months since the last post, and for all you out there in blog land who have been holding your breath for some news, here is the newest installment of the life that is Alicia and Winston, so you can all continue to live your life again and check back in a while later so you can see what we are up to then. Fitting to start with a pic of Mundo since we have about 800 pics of him on our computer now. This is him while he is sleeping, we’ve both come to realize this is the time we like him the most. We went camping in Fundy National Park with Ray and Kim and the kids, and here are some pics from the week-end. First, here is Jacob walking with his teddy bear. Too cute. Then Winston and Alicia in front of a waterfall. Next there is a "Walk with Win". (which for those of you who might get the reference is a subtle reference to the popular early 80's cooking show "wok with Yan") And the last pic here is the boys playing on the beach. We are playing a game of near and far.. Jake is near, and .. yup you guessed it.. Luke is Far.. good Job everyone!! . now I realize its strange to have camping pictures with not one picture of a camp site, but we were there. And we had a good time.

Happy Birthday To My Babe

So I have this great pic of me and my first cigar, or so I've been told, for all I know I could have been a smoker since the age of 0. I had no idea that from this humble beginning as a smoker my life would turn into the chain-smoking chimney that I am today. If my folks or anyone else who still see me as the innocent angel that I am read this, let me add, this is only a joke. the cigar isn't even lit. ha ha ha

This is from the Canada Day fireworks in Moncton we went to on Canada Day oddly enough

This is Lucas riding a cow.. He's got skillz
This is a pic of me hanging from a bridge for a nice groomsmen photo.

Here are the four folks that got married at the two wedding we've been at so far this summer. Brent and Lauren on the left and Geoff and Heidi on the right. Alicia makes the point that she cried at both of these wedding, but not at our wedding, and I'm pretty sure I did it the other way around

And finally we have been rescued! our road is opened and we are free to leave our house whenever we wish. But its not as bad as it sounds. Thought it took a month to upload the blog, it took one day to fix the road.

Road Wash

2006-06-05T14:56:00.000-03:00

So .. Ali and I live just on the outskirts of Moncton. It’s got the country feel with only living 5 minutes from the nearest Wal-Mart. The first pic is of the house we live in. we live in the basement apartment, which is the door you see by the van, and because the driveway is level with the door, and the floor of our place, it doesn’t really feel like a basement place all that much. Anyway, We got up to take Mundu to the Vet for some de-worming medicine this morning when we were told our road had washed out, and it will not be fixed for a few days. So we decided to take a walk, get some pics, and make a blog entry, something we have not done in a while.. blogging, picture taking, and walking that is. So here are a few pics of our road, or where our road used to be rather.

Chronicles of this weekend. So I was sitting here working on the computer and Alicia came in the room wondering where Mundu was. I had no idea, so we looked for him, and look where we found him, sleeping in our garbage can. The funny thing is, now that he gets in there every once in a while, we don’t keep any garbage in it. So now we have a very clean garbage basket in our room that Mundu can jump in and sleep whenever he wants...we are such pushovers, I’m already scared to think what our kids are going to get away with.

The nice thing about Mundu is that he takes after his old man. He likes to watch hockey.

Jacki was over. and there she is

And finally, we have been lost without our boys, Luke and Jake, who were in Florida for the month, but they came back, and brought great weather with them. And we all went out for some ice cream.

Good times

My good friend Geoff was over to the house this past week-end and he said that Mundu looked way better in person than the picture on the blog showed. So here are a few more pics of Mundu. But I realized in trying to get a picture of him that showed his cuteness was hard. He like me does not take good pictures. And Yes, this will be one of those entries that people with no kids but have pets have, that make it seem like they treat their pets like kids. Sad?,…. Maybe, but we like him. Oh and the name Mundu. Ali and I were thinking of an African name for him as we were driving to the farm where we were going to get him. We decided on Mundu because it was what all the Africans would call Alicia, it means “White Person”. The cool thing was that when we got to the farm, we noticed that there were a lot of African pictures up around the house, she told us that her husband was from South Africa, and her kids had named all the kittens from the litter after countries in Africa. Nice eh! So the pics are of Mundu’s first road trip, his first fall into the bathtub, his first day of school.. just kidding, him watching me play PS2. and a few others. You can guess which is which.
So Mundu was really Alicia’s 1st anniversary gift and I found MLB 06 at the Parlor (a local 2nd hand store) for $10. so we are both feel very blessed this year.

Done and Done.......
Now what in the world do I do ?

It was one year ago Alicia and I were enjoying our honeymoon in beautiful Florida. We basically spent the month of May there. I fell in love with the place, and if I had my way, and the money to do so, I would move everyone we knew there so we could all be living in the great weather together, and then move us all out whenever there was a hurricane. But our favorite coffee shop was this place called Panera Bread. It is amazing. They even have bagels I liked, and I don’t like bagels. So if you know of one around you check it out. We did find some all the way back from Florida as close as Maine, but there are none in eastern Canada, as we know of yet. I even looked into franchising a store here, but I don’t have the money to build 15 stores, which is what they request of an owner. Oh well, if you are reading this, and think you want to open one up, I will support you with my coffee a day purchase faithfully.

Oh, and I've been working on a my space for the band I play with. We only really mess around, but its good times. There is a rough mix of a song we are working on you can hear at the site. feel free to check it out. http://www.myspace.com/epicunion .. and And I promise this is the last I’ll mention of the band on the blog..

For those of you who know me I am a bit of an Oilers fan. And last night they pulled it out of the fire and beat the president’s trophy champs, the Detroit Redwings to take the first round series in 6 games. Though this may not affect anyone reading this, it does make me very happy. And I thought I should let the world know. Yup. Good times.

Oh, and since I’m in a hockey talk mode. Here are a few pictures of Alicia and I touring Toronto. We are in the studio (little room) of where they do Coaches Corner with Don Cherry, as you see, I am trying to kiss Alicia, but I’m pretty sure I got the big whiff on that one. And right after the failed kiss we took the CN tower tour. This is us on the top level, just after I asked Alicia to marry me, she didn’t want a kiss so much, but she sure wanted the ring. Ha ha. The CN tower is doing a 30th anniversary book about proposals, so I entered our story in the contest. It may be published one day. I guess we’ll see, or what may be even funnier, maybe it will be and we’ll never know. That would be weird.

One Year. Ali and I have made it longer than Renée Zellweger and hubby Kenny Chesney who had their marriage annulled after only four months, Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley were married for 107 days, Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman were married for a grand total of nine days, and, Trumping them all, pop redneck Britney Spears married "childhood sweetheart" Jason Alexander for an amazingly brief 48 hours. But here we are, still together. So we thought in honor of making it to this triumphant point in our lives we would take the step and finally start a blogg.. oh and we got a kitten. His name is Mundu
