Ahhh, she's so cute!!!! We are totally thrilled with the wonderful blessing God has given us. She's been growing great, and is probably up to about 9 1/2 pounds by now.

Well, we've finally uptaded our profile to include interests & such for both of us.Oh, and check this out if you need a laugh. You download the powerpoint file, and then play it. Its well worth it, and I don't think it can help but make you smile (at least). Presenting, the Laughing Cat!!!

Well, we made it back from our big trip to Pennsylvania to get my sister married off. It was a good trip, but oh its nice to be home! I'll post more when we get our camera back so we can post pictures (we left it behind :)

Well, we only won one game in our PRBI hockey tournament, but I still came away with a trophy. See it there on my chin? That was Friday night, the first shift of the first game!!! I had to play a game on Sunday just to try and get my money's worth. It is healing up nicely now though.Oh, I also got new glasses in the beginning of March. Of course, I wasn't wearing them to play

We're sorry to announce the passing of Flif the Fish. May he rest well in the bottom of our Fern (I hear they make great fertilizer :)He will never be replaced, but his bowl may house another soon (I hear Walmart has a sale on Betas :)

We decided to start our own line of "naked" kitty pictures... Anne's Kitties. No.. we're not spoofing anything.. honest :)Any way, I need to get ready, because before long we are going for my Birthday supper. Tony Roma's gives a free meal coupon (up to $18.99) for the Birthday boy! We tried it out for Jen's Birthday, and it was pretty good. The cost still adds up though, so its good we don't

Misty Mouse, the new member of our family.Its something Jen and I decided on a while ago, so on Friday we went down to our local SPCA, and adopted Misty. She has been tons of fun thus far, and quite entertaining.She is extremely emotionaly dependent, and doesn't seem to be able to function without one or usually both of us around. Hopefully as she settles in she will get better.

It appears likely that I've closed one chapter on the Saga with my car.After installing a new axle on the left rear side, my ABS system seemed to be going wonky. We found out that the flange that was dented was actually a very critical part of the sensor system that tells the ABS when to activate. Little did we know, so my ABS kept coming on when it shouldn't, causing all kinds of problems. After

Well, its been a little while, yet again. I have a good excuse though. A wedding takes an awful lot of free time, both before and after. But man is it ever worth it! Wow, its been an amazing experience. Thanks to all who came and supported us, and to those who went the extra mile in doing important things at the last minute. There was more of that than I would have liked.The Ceremony was really

Ok, so the axle went in just fine, as did the seals and bearings. However, when I took it for a test drive, my abs system kept kicking in. We know the rotor needs to be replaced, but I was hoping that it would be servicable enough to get me to Silver Valley. No such luck, so I'm staying in GP tonight and I'll be putting in a new rotor tomorrow (the part should be coming in the morning sometime

So I'm just bursting to tell people about what happened with my car. I feel like I won a major victory and want to share it. I don't want to be assailing everyone with my story, because they've got their own lives too, so maybe by posting it here, that will get the bug out of my system, and I can actually get to work.Ok, half the decision was just to try and fix the car myself.

And beyond! Well, that's kind of how I feel anyway. And no, I'm not talking about my wedding (wow, only 9 days!!!!) although that would apply too.I'm delving into the depths of my car. My axle seal on one side is leaking, so I need to replace it. This involves taking the brakes off, (which I've done) and locking the differential (which I haven't), removing the axle (new again) and replacing the

Well, one of them anyway. I got the carpet in the bedroom cut to fit the bedroom. I was dreading the job because of the pressure of not screwing up and making it look ugly. Jen was a great help on that one, reminding me not to worry about it. When I got going, it really wasn't that bad. I did mess up, and one closet has a little less carpet than it should, but "out of sight, out of mind" my

Maybe not... but it can't hurt anything. Go to www.referendumcanada.ca and make your voice heard on the same sex marriage debate re: Bill C-38. I don't know if it will actually hold any water with our MPs, seeing as its promoted by United Familes (who are doing all they can to defend the traditional definition of marriage here in Canada). Not that I disagree with them, not at all, but with them

I can't believe that my single days are drawing to a close...... I don't think I'll miss them too much.Not that life hasn't been good, but who wouldn't want a lifelong companion to continue to experience the great adventures that God has in store for us. I think I'll have to change the name of the blog to include both of us. Jen likes to write, so maybe we'll get more regular postings in here

Yesterday I was offered the oppertunity to attend a "Focus Group". 'What's that?' I asked. Not really sure, was the answer, but basically a round table discussion on some issue or other. I didn't really want to, being the shy person that I am, but then I found out I would be remunerated $75 for my time. Anticipating 2 hours of discussion, that's a better hourly wage than I've made for a long time

Well, last week we launched our new college website. Its been an interesting process as I've headed up the development team. The location is still the same... www.prbi.edu but the look is all our own. Now I'm looking into some site promotion techniques, and got a free e-book from seobook.com (he donates it to charitable organizations). Thanks Aaron. Go on over and have a look if you haven't

Well, today I found out I didn't have to pay $700 after all. Let me back up a bit. Through the month of January, I've noticed that my car has been, well, wandering occasionally. Its been very inconsistent, and I ignored it for a while. I was starting to wonder whether it was all in my head, but then Jen took the car in for the afternoon, and confirmed that it was quite bad.

Ok, this is what our living room looked like before our 'redecorating'. This is standing in the middle of our kitchen, looking into the living room. You can barely see the big love seat right in front of me, but it really cut the room in half.

Brrr... I just got back from walking Jen home, and it is COLD! I haven't experienced weather like this for quite some time. It was fun to be tromping along in my snow boots, bundled up in snow pants that were too big for me (Thanks Dave V) , a bulky winter coat. The toque was pulled low, and the neck warmer was pulled high, and then I had a hood on over top. As I tromped along, my breath

I'm not posting the link yet, cuz its not completed, and I'm not sure if Jen will like the template adjustments I've chosen, but I laid a lot of the ground work. I'm using www.freewebs.com So I thought I had car troubles last night, because the 'check engine' light came on. I talked to a smart mechanically minded person today (who owns the same care, one year newer), and he asked me about a

Not sure if that's the right spelling for it or not, but 3 friends and I found a secluded park by a small lake to build a snow house. All we did yesterday morning was go push a big pile of snow together (it took about an hour, including breaks for small snow fights). We'll let the pile freeze for a week or so, and then head out again to dig it out. I haven't done this for several years, so I'm

The first week of work has almost come to a close, and I'm looking forward to the weekend. I know we just got off Christmas break, but this week has been hectic, what with the beginning of a new semester, and me taking a class for credit (I should really start on some homework). Christmas was great. I went out to join Jen at her parent's place on the 23rd. Christmas was very quiet, and it was

Well, I seem to be getting pretty consistant with these bimonthly posts. Oh well, just wanted to put up my Christmas letter for anyone who's interested. Oh, and to say that I got engaged a week & a half ago to one Jennifer Lobb. Wahoo!! What an adventure this life has been... and its only just beginning. Well hello, and Merry Christmas!

So now its been nearly another 2 months since my last post. Life has really flown by, although October definitely slowed down in some respects. Last week I almost thought that life was right where it should be. Maybe a little on the busy side, but I had enough time for what I felt was important. Then this week struck. I'm so thankful its Friday. I think part of it was having houseguests pretty

Man, its been almost 2 months since I've posted, and slowly I'm settling into my new life here. I'm back in Canada, up in the Northwestern reaches of Alberta. This is where I was planning on being for the next year (because Jen has one more year to complete at Peace River Bible Institute). Little did I know that the school would offer me a job. And as what?? Well, you are looking at (well, not

Yep, in a week I will be leaving on a jet plane. Don't worry, I won't sing the song. As it approaches, I have mixed feelings. I can't wait to get back, and see Jen (only 8 more sleeps!), and other friends, and other family. It will be good to get back to Canada too, although I really didn't miss the winter. I'm not looking forward to leaving all my friends behind. God has blessed me with many

Yup, I'm talking about Kayaks. We went on a river by Santo Domingo (I can't remember the name of it now). After scouting in a good starting place, we found ourselves an exit point, left one vehicle there, and headed back up to the starting point. We figured it would take about 3 hours. It didn't take us long to get the kayaks inflated and set up. We packed our gear in, and away we went. I think I

Oh, and designing databases too. What do they have to do with each other? Hopefully nothing (unless things go horribly wrong...). I'll start with the 2nd one. I gave blood today. It was my first time. I'd have to say that it was an interesting experience. First, the reason. The sister-in-law of one of the missionaries in our mission here in Ecuador was recently diagnosed with acute leukemia.

Haircut! Wheee! I think this is the longest I've gone w/o one. Almost 7 months. Here's a before Picture. Oh, I have to use Hello... Ok, lets see if I can get this in order.... Ok, beneath this post is the "Before" Picture. And above it... what you probably saw first, is my after picture (co-starring my good friend Larry the Cucumber).

But no, its not Paul Harvey. Just finishing up my weekend adventure. On Sunday Micah and I took a Motorcycle taxi out to the Machalilla Park entrance. We then hiked through what's called tropical dry forest, for about 4 km. It was nice, and not too hot. The forest all seemed dead, but I guess when it gets rain it all blooms like crazy, and is really beautiful. It was dry now, and it almost looked

Well, its been a great weekend. We flew down to the coast on Friday morning, and caught the first bus we could down to Puerto Lopez. It was probably about 2 hours. The time flew by, as I was reading a new book Micah had loaned me. I'll comment on it more later, but it was about science and Genesis, and was extremely interesting. I did look out the window too. The bus got pretty crowded at times.

That's right... Its time for another weekend excursion. Man, June was all work.. now July is hopping... and I'm only 1/2 way through. After this weekend I will allow myself to start counting down the days until I leave. Or, more specifically, the days until I see Jen. I'm not eager to leave, but I sure am eager to get back... A strange paradox. But back to the island. Its known as the poor

Philippines pulling troops from Iraq I (as much as possible, having no idea of what it is like) sympathize with the family of Angelo dela Cruz, and share their hope that he will be released safely. However, I cannot believe that a nation state is allowing terrorists to dictate foreign policy through hostage taking. Granted, the Philippine's had scheduled a withdraw for August 20th anyways (

I don't know quite how they decide to rate these things. Despite being rated "important," rather than critical, by Microsoft, the MS04-021 hole is of particular concern to security experts at McAfee, according to Vincent Gullotto, vice

Its been a slow one. I was gonna go watch Spidey 2, but my friend wanted to watch Ecuador play in the Copa America instead... so we postponed till cheap Tuesday :) Saturday I spent most of the later morning and earlier afternoon helping some missionaries move in that returned to the field after a year away. They were good friends of mine, and I'm very glad that they made it back before I left,

A most interesting (and intelligent, I think) comparison between a failed Iraqi insurgency, and Michael Moore's whole big kafluffle with Fahrenheight 9/11. He certainly has created a stir with this movie. Not having seen it, I'm not willing to condemn it outright, but I must say I've definitely got some preconceived notions of its accuracy. Not knowing a whole lot about either, I'd have to

From Wired Magazine Depending who you ask, RFID tags constitute 1. the best thing to happen to manufacturing since the cog. 2. the biggest threat to personal privacy since the crowbar. 3. the near-exact fulfillment of the Book of Revelation's description of the mark of the beast. A most interesting new world we're getting ourselves into. Radio chips that identify every piece of merchandise?

In the bustling metropolis of Grande Prairie they had a twister go through the downtown core today. I guess it tossed a couple of cars, and tore a wall out. I was a little disconcerted to hear this, because my brother and sister-in-law don't live too far from there. Neither was in the area when it went through, and their place seems to be fine, so that's good. I haven't seen any pictures yet,

Well, yesterday was full of 'extra curricular' activity. I got a call from our regional director that their Entourage email program was not working. I agreed to come out at 2 and look at it (leaving work just a little early). Well, I had no clue what was going on. First it was telling me that the 'Test Drive' version of Office X (for the Mac) had expired, and they needed to buy the full

Let me tell you about my Jungle journey. Yes, I finally made it out to see the Shuar Indians that I worked with 2 years ago, helping them build a church. I had planned 2wice this year to visit them, and both times circumstances prevented me. The missionaries I was going to stay with told me that this past weekend would be the best time, so I decided to go for it. I had to catch a bus down to

They don't really have much to do with each other except for timing. I just got the XML feed working here, so if (for some strange reason) you wanted to put it in your favorite news reader, now you can. I used FeedBurner to convert my feed from Blogger's Atom format to standard RSS 2.0 format. I only did this because my news reader Aggreg8 couldn't parse the Atom feed. And I'm going to the

But it was messy, so I deleted it. What am I talking about? My attempted email blog. I figured I'd better post something in its place. This past weekend has been busier, which was nice. I went out for supper a couple of times. Then on Saturday I went out for a church field day with friends who work at that church. It was kinda fun, and kinda boring, but a good chance to get out and do

(but it didn't seem to work, so I'm just posting it as normal) Well, life's been interesting the last couple of days. I went out for Dim Sum (small delights) at a Chinese restaurant yesterday. The menu was all in Chinese, so it was good that we had someone along who could read it and order for us. It was really good, and I'd like to have it again. Seemed mainly like a bunch of appetizers,

Check out this link for pictures of my Adventure in Ecuador. I've been over here since September, and I'm going home in August. Well, back to Canada at least. Not quite sure when I'll get home home. Well, not quite sure where home home is gonna be exactly.... ahhh the joys of being in limbo as a single. Well, Parent's home is home home for now, and I've no idea when I'll get there either.
