Just so you know...

For all those who think that I'm abandoning the Canadian ship, let me set your minds at ease and tell you that I have every intention of moving back there. In fact, I am seriously thinking of pursuing a career with the Canadian Secret Service.....seriously. So if that ain't patriotic enough for ya, HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!! (tomorrow)

Bad News

Hey all, somebody stole Tara's blackberry at work yesterday. Pretty lame eh? Hopefully it was worth it to the person who stole it.

Missing Persons

Any update on Jen, Jackie and Sharon? I know Clint doesn't use the internet too often, but what about the others?

Baby Names?

So Mel and I are almost at the point where we've picked the baby's name. Mostly it came down to lack of any other good ideas. We are leaning towards Joshua Tyler (or, if we wanted to be like all the hip, COOL name versions we could spell is Xhazhua Tielur). We most likely call him Ty or Tyler or JT. Dunno for sure yet.

This is a baby picture of mom when she was 3 months old!!!! What could be cuter than this?

New Credit Card

Hey! I just got approved for my first credit card today! Horay for me eh?

New Camera

I know I know, it looks like I'm on a spending craze, but I've done a couple months of research for this camera, and the price was right, so I jumped on it. Maybe now I'll start taking more pictures for everyone eh? It was a pretty good purchase too, about $150 with a memory card and case. Anyway, I think I'm done with all my spending now, although Tara and I did go to a Lexus dealership today.....

New Camera

Hey, Tara finally got a new camera! check it out at http://www.dpreview.com/news/0705/07050703canons5is.asp

By the way, I'm making everyone administrators so that they can put pictures up on the right hand corner. Has anyone heard from Jen? Is she just too busy dealing with the accident?

Little Pet Peeves

I'm writting this because I've discovered a little pet peeve of mine. People who eat crunchy things with their mouth open. I say this because I share an office with a guy who eats ice ALL FREAKING DAY. I swear I'm going to knock him out one of these days.

Baseball glove

I bought a baseball glove today for some upcoming softball games. It's funny because it wasn't a very expensive purchase, but it made me really happy to have one again. I felt like I was returning to a time when I used to play, and thought about how good that felt, to be part of a team, to be active, to have a hobby. It somehow feels as though it's adding definition, or color, to my life. Weird huh?

Mum and Dad & Family calendar of events

Just for your info this is our travel plans. We are trying to get around to see all of you as often as possible.
Can someone figure out how to link an Evans Google Calendar to this site??? this might be a good way to link our calendars together
Dad

Aug 8-10 Dad in Vancouver for Bryn's wedding ( he is in the military)
Nov 1-8 Jen for blessing of Baby ( times not certain yet)
Nov 9-13 Tom and Melissa for blessing of baby

Our goal is to see all of you at least once a year- So mum and I are trying to work this schedule out.
This year Jen hasn't had a lot of time with us but we are working on this. Mind you the way her driving is- what with the speeding ticket and now the accident we better get there sooner than later- Just kidding
Dad

Tom is LFW...

That's Looking for Work. I've been slowly applyign for different things I see some up. I'm looking for a Recruiting job or HR Generalist/Assistant gig right now. I like working for the Church...but since they don't have any full time openings for me right now...

So if any of your friends or significant others have openings, let me know.

First day at work

Hey all!

Just had my first day at work. I gotta say, I look pretty suave with my cool uniform, complete with clip-on tie. As for the job itself, well, it's looking to be pretty fun. I'm basing that all on the fact that we've got a candy machine in our office, and our supervisor gave us a free handful of Reces Pieces (how the heck do you spell that anyway?).

Welcome Evans Family!

Here's to another attempt at keeping each other up to date with everything that's going on in everyone's lives! The other day Tara and I were describing each other's families to the other in preparation of the upcoming family reunions. I quickly discovered that I have no idea what's going with everyone, and my roommate suggested this. It's pretty simple, so hopefully that'll encourage people to update it every so often. Once we all do it for a few weeks, it'll be a habit!
