All the summer babies

Marieanne, Heidi, Anthony all born in June and I forgot to say happy birthday to you all and I am so sorry. You have all been a big part of my life and I miss you terribly. I really hope there will soon be a time for all of us to get together and talk about old times, and catch up. I'm barely involved in your lives anymore and I miss that. So happy birthday again, Heidi turning 30! Marieanne 29 Anthony 27. None of you look it so thats a good thing! LOL. Have a wonderful year and keep in touch. Lots of hugs and kisses.

Update

Jo-Anne has had her surgery and she is doing ok. She's in a lot of pain still but at least shes gotten the worst part over with. Other than that we are all doing well, there is a career opportunity I am going for and that is the Area Manager position in Kingston. So instead of over seeeing 1 store I would be in charge of 4. So I've applied and we just have to wait and see. It would be a big change as my responsibilies would triple but I like challenge so it would be good for me, and I really hope I get it.

News

Jo-Anne, Dans mom just got into a pretty serious accident. She was standing on the sidewalk waiting for her bus when a local bum was speeding down the sidewalk on his bicycle and slammed into her. Jo flipped to the ground and broke her arm in two places. Luckily a big guy grabbed the bum as he was trying to speed away and the cops and ambulence were called and the guy was charged with assult. Jo has been back and forth to the hospital since Friday and her operation keeps getting bumped and bumped. So she is sitting around with her arm broken and its healing and they will have to rebreak her arm and set it properly whenever they get around to getting her into the operating room. Its ridiculous. Its putting a lot of strain on her and us because she can't do anything for herself so we are busy taking care of her until she can get better. So please keep Jo in your prayers, this is trying on all of us.

3 years

Dan and I have just celebrated our 3 year anniversary. I know amazing right? We weren't going to do much because we bought an SUV recently but Dan really wanted to at least go out to dinner. He wanted to go to a place we've been to before but I suggested using my iPhone to find a new restaurant. So Dan took the phone went to Urban Spoon which lists every restaurant in your area. He selected the price point he wanted the type of food and we found a restaurant called "Aqua Terra". This restaurant is located in one of the hotels downtown Kingston and we got a table that faced the harbour with city hall tower looking down at us. It was beautiful. The service was amazing, the chef gave us a "taster" to start for free, which was fresh raw tuna with apple slices, presented on a slender platter and each serving in its own spoon. As a starter we got escargot but not the usual covered in cheese escargot, this was served in a large abstract bowl with clover leaves and some sauce that was soooo delicious. For dinner I had lobster ravioli, which was so mouth watering I kept eating even though my stomach was saying no, and Dan had a beef something or other. At the end of dinner our waiter gave us a choice of desert for free again to congratulate us on our anniversary. After this wonderful meal we went for a walk in the moon light beneath the restaurant by the harbour and then home. Dan and I talked about how far we've come and we feel we've both changed and grown so much since we've been together. He did a lot of growing up recently and recognizes the benefits of being in a committed relationship. I have learned to relax and enjoy life more and not let things get to me so much. I'm so happy and I have a feeling that wedding bells are coming sometime in the next two years (I hope). I've never had the whole white dress and ceremony thing with family and friends around so I really look forward to that.
