Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone !!









2006 is coming to an end this weekend and I think back on the past year and then think about what's next for us.













2006 was a good year - everybody is healthy - my dad is doing well - no major issues arose with anyone or anything - things were good. I took a trip of a lifetime in May with my dad to 9 countries - 11 cities (
http://mrslurpee.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html) - I completed 18 months of school at SFU and got my CRM (Canadian Risk Management) certificate - I got to spend a lot of time with the family and kids throughout the summer.

The summer was great - it basically started in early May when the sun came out and didn't end until the end of October when the Sun left us. We were busy doing something fun almost every single weekend. Travelling here or there, camping, beaches - just a great time all around. I usually work a lot of nights and weekends but kind of took the summer off to enjoy it and the kids. I saw a few concerts this year and had some really good times with friends and family.

Quick Kid Update
Carter is doing well - he enjoys school and his buddies. He still plays soccer a couple of times a week and plays basketball once a week. He loves Lego, Hot Wheels and playing on the computer. Hmmm - where did he learn to love those things ?? It's funny, I look at the sports dads and their kids are sports kids and then there's me and mini me.

Haley is doing great. She loves preschool and her girlie toys. I thought she may take to Carters toys but she's a real girl. Loves all the Disney princesses, Polly Pockets, jewelry and stuffed animals.


I think 2007 will be another great year - I hope to see my friends more - camp more - play Texas Hold'em more - and no more studying. I want to go to Disneyland or Disney World with the kids sometime in 2007 - Haley is still under 42" so she won't be able to go on the rides yet - we keep waiting for her grow more.

I see me working a lot again in the spring - evenings and weekends with the hopes of taking the summer off again. I want to visit the Island, Williams Lake, Camping, Okanagan. I've never been to Banff or Jasper - that would be a great trip to take for a week with the family. I hope to see my friends back East - it's been 5 years since I've been back there (9/11 we were in Toronto visiting).

I need to work on the house more - I'm just not the handy type though - paint, baseboards, drywall, doors, plumbing.

Things to think about:
Has the USA ever won a war ? What the hell are they doing ? 3000 men are dead now - have they solved anything at all ?
Is the real estate market going to change so I can afford North Vancouver ?
Will I get back in shape ? Let me get a slurpee and think about that one
Will I finally get out skiing this year ?
Will I finally get out golfing this year ?
Will Angelina and Brad adopt me ?
Will I really see the Christina Aguillera concert ? Will there be pyrotechnics ?
