Hello all

What's up people? I too am feeling a bit homesick Zoe. I love Juarez but sometimes I just miss my other life up in Canada. Life is crazy here. Crazy is Ok, its just also intense. Remember what we were doing this time last year. We were doing the urban plunge in Vancouver.

And here is home sweet home.






Here's another great picture of us.
















This is just too cute.

I believe we called them the PIEHEADS.

Oh how I miss you.






And a great shot of Nova Scotia.

Have a great day everyone.

plenty of time to blog

Ok. One thing I'm positive that this blog lacks is pictures. I'm doing my part in moving towards remedying this by making motion towards buying a digital camera, but these kinds of decisions take time. Especially in my world.

So instead I was looking at what pictures I already have on my computer and came across a bunch from our LQ year, in particular, some that I downloaded from Susana's camera near the end of the year. We had some fantastic times. It is funny how at the time of some of the most memorable moments you are totally unaware that good memories are being made. For example, I was looking at some shots from a winter retreat we went on with the campus group, and realized that some of the best moments were when we were relaxing around the table playing cards and just being our goofy selves.

I miss you all so very much! So to facilitate the reminiscing, I've included a few of my favourite shots, with the reasons why I like them so much.

A candid shot. Sus, Joanne, and Ruth. Relaxed and genuinely amused by whatever is happening at the other end of the table (Adam??). There was a lot of good laughter that night.

I don't even remember what game we were playing, but I do remember laughing with abandon until i could feel all my stomach muscles.

This was some silly game that Ron had come up with. I was a bit skeptical, but I love this shot because of the serious way we're looking at each other (even though I know it was kind of a silly moment).

Does anyone remember what Ron was doing??

Susana. I think you look good here.

CHRISTY! I don't have any shots of you from that night so I had to include this one from the day we went on a sleigh ride. There were so many good times that weekend.

Sus, I love this one because it shows your beautiful "I don't care what you think" spirit. I love that part of you.

One of the things that we were laughing at so hard that night was the ridiculous pictures Ron was taking of himself with Susana's camera.


A little more than a tad scary...

There are a ton more pictures that I would have liked to include, so there may have to be another of these reminiscing picture-posts. But for now, I hope you enjoy these!

Oh. And the reason for the title of this blog is that I am home sick today (for the 2nd day in a row). As I spent all of yesterday asleep and resting my body, today has been left open for a few naps and some time on the ol' laptop.

Btw, I think our site needs a shot of the three of us to add a little personality to it. What do people think of this one?

footwashing and digression

6:42pm. Blogger finally finished republishing the index. I'm at work. Digressing (my life is full of digressions), and missing out on some footwashing. I was going to be late anyways.

Since I don't have a computer at home right now I thought I'd publish what I have of a new template before the weekend starts. It's not finished yet, but I welcome any comments.

Here's what I predict of reactions to it:
Christy will love it (bright and colorful -- exciting!!)
Susana will hate it (too much color. ugh)
Katelyn will like it, but will right away find things I should fix. You have a good eye Katelyn.
Jeff will say that he doesn't like it as he's never satisfied. (I know, he's my boss.)

I think that was everyone who left a comment about the template.

Anyhoo, let me know what you think.

Happy Maunday Thursday

new thought

Ok. So I have another thought. How about using this one:



and changing the colours a bunch. What I like about this one:
- still has the center column for text
- has space at the top for images (which i definitely think we need)
- the white border around all the different boxes is cool - keeps things separated

The only thing is that it's kind of boring. This'd be fixed up if we changed the titles to be something funky and maybe added a border between posts.

I dunno, but I definitely think that none of these are perfect and that I need to at least tweak it myself before I can be satisfied with whichever one we choose.

rounders greenish

So a mixed reaction on the orange.



What about this one? Colour's a little dull, eh?

One of the reasons I like these ones is that the reading space is contained to the center of the page. It makes it easier on the eyes.

thisaway orange

Thanks for your comment Katelyn.
Is this the kind of orange that you hate?



I'm not a big fan of what i consider "tacky orange" (bright bright orange) either. I kind of like this one though. It's more like a pumpkin than an orange. What do you think, is it "muted"?

I do want to listen to readers' comments -- if you hate the site layout/colous who will read the blog?
