Weekend Getaway

Josh came all the way from Smithers to visit Justin and I this weekend, however, last weekend he broke his shoulder snowboarding. Nothing could stop him and on Saturday morning Amylou, Josh and I trekked out to Manning park to visit Jusitn and Carl.



Here's Justin trying to figure out how to secure the shoulder. "A couple knots and some duct tape should do the trick."
"That's a nice bra you got there Josh."

Not bad for a broken shoulder!


Josh taking over the grooming - he stayed up all night in the cat with Justin, besides a few quick power naps.



"The truck got stuck, and the ford got stuck and the chevy got stuck when the dodge showed up."







It was great to be able to get away from the city and marvel in the incredible beauty of God's handiwork.




While the guys groomed and snowboarded we relaxed and slept and, well......I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

It was so hot that it rained and Amylou skiied in a tanktop.
Gotta love those tree wells! This is what happens when you ski the expert runs on your second time. We went on the "North Gibson Trail" and Justin was so impressed that someone actually used the trail that he worked so hard to groom. We even cross-country skiied down the downhill part of the mountain.


Tubing can be scary.....especially when you're riding up the tow rope?


Totally tuckered out!

Another Year has Come and Gone

On March 3 another year passed by and what a year it has been. It has marked many changes, probably the biggest change being from a student to having a career and finally leaving "home" behind. The year has been filled with ups and downs, trials and triumphs but to all of you students out there, hang on, life is good in the working force.
Because I had the weekend off call I decided to go away with my friends for my birthday. Manning Park was the chosen spot for the 8 of us.

Amidst the pain of losing a loved one, funeral preparations dark rainy weather, the 7 of you were the beakons of light providing much needed joy in the midst of sorrow.

See you later Grandma

On Tuesday, Februrary 28, Grandma Wisselink quietly let go of our hands and joined the hands of her husband and grandson. She is and will be missed.
"Your in a better place I've heard a thousand times, and at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you, but the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry is I long so much to be with you.
I close my eyes and I see your face. If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place. Lord won't you give me strength to make it through somehow. I've never been more homesick then now."
It's not good-bye, it's just "See you later"
