Mark your Calendars
0Friends near and friends afar, our wedding date is set as September 10th, 2005. Mark your calendars and book your plane tickets, you’re all invited!
Shindig
0This Saturday there’s a party at my place, celebrating my 19th birthday/engagement. Come on out, anytime between the 10s.
If you need directions, e-mail me.
Home, Jeeves
0It’s 5:19am. After a slice of toast, we’ll be on our way to Moncton airport. Should arriving in Toronto just in time for work.
Yay.
Oh, speaking of work, I’ve got a new job! This Friday is my last day in the mailroom, because on Monday the 30th I become Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship’s Network Administrator. Cool eh.
And it’s my birthday in 2 days.
To St. John, to St. Stephen, to Moncton, to Sackville
0That’s been the last 3 days. Journeyors are we!
As I promised, mid day Friday we drove down to St. John from Charlottetown. We met up with Jacob McMurphMiester at Boston Pizza. I was greeted with a congratulatory slap in the face, and then a Jacob sized hug. Following that we went to The Alehouse for dinner. I ordered the Prime Rib expecting some prime ribs. Sadly, and yet not-so-sadly, I received a steak instead. After the food, we took in Star Wars Episode III.
Oh my freaking goodness. See it now, you must!
Then we drove “home” to St. Stephen. Saturday we woke up, met the infamous blogger Jeremy Wright, and his lovely wife and 2 sons. We took in a leisurely breakfast at 2pm. A little sight seeing was done, as much as there is to do in St. Stephen, and then we rented The Forgotten. It’s not too bad, but doesn’t really resolve it’s self particularly well.
Sunday morning we got up and strolled into church rather late. I very much enjoyed the church – a small Vineyard congregation. We had met the pastor and his wife the day before. Lovely people. What I particularly enjoyed about the service was that his sermon was short, concise, nicely layed out for all to see in Powerpoint form, and you could easily say at the end exactly what his sermon was about. And I learned cool things from it. When was the last time I left TACF on a Sunday and could tell you exactly what the sermon was about?!
After church we drove straight to Moncton. We chatted and dined with some friends there, and then drove on to Sackville, which is where we are now. We’ll be here until Tuesday morning when we depart for the airport.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as an engaged couple. :)
OK fine…
0So last night Maija and I went to The Pilot House, a nice restaurant here in Charlottetown. I spent the whole evening at her grandma’s trying to find a nice restaurant that wasn’t closed already. Silly early closing food joints.
We had dessert, and a glass of wine, and then I told her some – and I quote – “beautiful things.” She started crying, and then I told her more beautiful things, and then I asked her to marry me. She immediately said, “Yes!” Then burst into tears again. It was quite wonderful. She didn’t even open the ring for a good 10 minutes. But she loves that too.
Somehow “w00t” just doesn’t do it justice.

Charlottetown
0Rental car acquired. Highway driven on. Map consulted. Car turned around. Highway driven on.
We’re in PEI! We stopped at Maija’s uncle’s house, but he wasn’t home, so we’ve spent the afternoon wandering around Charlottetown. Quite a cute little place. We had Lobster for lunch! Quite strange I must say. It’s not really a thing that I would ever desire to eat again, but as Maija puts it, “I’ll be in politics one day and you’ll have to come to all these fancy dinners with me, so you better get used to it now.”
Fair enough.
Safely in Sackville
0Well, we are now safe and sound in Sackville, at my Dad’s place. Our flights were pretty good, flying via Canjet.
That computer in the airport was garbage. It honestly took us all of 10 minutes to write, and post, that last post. Ahh well.
Tomorrow we’re picking up a rental car, then driving to PEI. There we shall spend the day, and night with Maija’s grandma and uncle. Friday will see us going down to St. Stephen.
Out.
Off to NB
0Maija and I are currently in Toronto Airport, waiting for our flight to leave. The keyboard I;m typing on sucks. Ahh well. we’re going to New Brunswick and PEI for 5 days.
If you name is Jacob Murphy, Jeremy Or Shannon Wright, Stephen Pudddle, Bary MacLeod, or Anakin Skywalker, we’ll be seeing you very soon. :)

Xbox 360
0Flippin sweat! …er sweet!
Jeremy’s got a great post outlining the forthcoming Xbox 2. Link. Tom’s Hardware has a little of their marketing strategy, for their whole console department. Interesting. I think it will take them pretty far.
I’m most interested to see if it’s backwards compatible. If it is, I’ll buy one the day it comes out, and huck my big black box at my both bad brothers. If it’s not… we’ll see.
