If you've been wondering what I've been up to lately the answer is MOVING!!!! This is what I do. I moved home from PEI and helped Janelle move home from Halifax and have been storing things in my Dad's basement as well as Janelle's parent's basement. I am now in the process of moving things from these basements into my townhouse. Then getting everything else set up.
When I moved home and got settled into my new job I moved things back in my office and am now in the process of moving things into my new office down stairs! So I go to work and move and come home and move some more. So much fun. Anyways, I will post some pictures of my new place and new office soon.

A Weekend To Remember
I can tell that you are already thinking that this is another post about Ben's wedding because that certainly was a weekend to remember but this is not. You see, when you don't post for long periods of time and have limited internet access, things that you want to blog about happen but you don't get a chance to post them... Until now!!!
So a few weekends ago Janelle and I attended the Family Life Marriage Conference A Weekend To Remember and that it certainly was. We had a lot of fun but more important than that, we learned some very practical things that will be a huge advantage for us as we enter married life. They basically just teach you how. How to communicate, how to resolve conflict, how to fight fair and so many other helpful things. They would say things like, "You may do this..." and I would be thinking, "I do that..." Janelle and I already refer back to what they said on a regular basis and it has helped us a lot. I really recommend that you check it out and if you are married, engaged or even dating very seriously I highly recommend that you go. This thing has even saved marriages that were all but over. They have had couples arrive in separate vehicles, staying is different hotels who had not been living together for two years leave the conference with hope and a new start.
On another plus side the one in New Brunswick is at the St. Andrews Algonquin. Wow! That place was awesome! They must have ran out of regular rooms because they put me in a room with a KING SIZE BED! I was stoked! Free soap, free shampoo, free shower cap, free shower curtain, towel robes. It was really cool. The bed was so big that when I got up in the night to use the bathroom I got back in on the other side! It was like getting into a new bed, all cool with new pillows... good times had by me.

A Big Day
Well this past Saturday was a BIG day! My twin brother Ben got married to Jacquelyn. It was an awesome day. He looked great, she was beautiful and they made a covenant promise to love each other.
I was an emotional wreck because I was so happy for them and at the same time kind of sad because this is an end of an era for Ben and I. Twenty-two years together and now instead of living in the same residence we don't even live in the same province. We will definitely keep in touch but I will miss him a lot. He is the best brother a guy could ever have and I am grateful to God that we had the amazing opportunity to grow up together.
I love you Ben!

Some Much Happens
I know, I know I haven't posted in ages, blah blah blah, who wants to read another post about that? You? Me neither.
So while I was away. During the break I did not accomplish all that I wanted. Big surprise. So fast forward to the choir tour. What a blast! All the MCC students live on a bus for a few days, hang out, watch play offs, play skunk and then there are a few shows thrown in there too. So much fun.
Next, one of my best buddies, Corey, gets married. What a fun day that was too. It was totally exciting and we had a blast getting together and hanging out again. So a big congratulations to Corey and Claire Dickinson!
Then, the next day, I graduated! Also cool. My brother Ben (check out his blog)was the valedictorian and he did an amazing job.
Anyways, I would like to say that I will be updating this more frequently from now on but I have made that promise before and we both know how it goes...
See you next time!
