Most couples meet through friends or dating sites or at church or the bar. The story of how Shea and I met is a bit more random. Her parents were at a funeral and happened to be talking to someone from my hometown. They mentioned their daughter was starting university in the fall and needed […]

Bowling Birthday
Her actual birthday is on Tuesday but we had great fun at Sasha’s “bowling birthday” today. (And as an aside, as someone who dabbles in creative writing, I love studying the ebbs and flows in the popularity of names from generation to generation.)
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #8 – Smalltown Saskatchewan
My standard line about farming is that, for whatever reason, I grew up more passionate about books than barley and more interested in computers than combines. With that said, I feel very fortunate that I grew up in a rural community as part of a farming family. I also managed to luck into getting the […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #6 – Comedy
After another week away from this series (honestly, I forgot I was doing this “How I Became Me” series last week after working a 1-9pm shift and, as I often do, whipping off a zero-effort post to keep my daily post streak alive instead of doing something a bit more in-depth and time-consuming.)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #4 – Travel
Not sure if I’ll end up blogging much when we’re in Mexico next week but I thought making “travel” #4 in this series would be a good way to head into our holiday either way. The funny part is that my love of travel actually starts from a weird piece of family trivia – I […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? #1 – My Parents
As I mentioned in my post about the various Christmas parties we recently attended, now that I’m basically middle-aged (I’m going to live to be 90, right?) ;-), I’m spending more time thinking about the various things in my life that have led me to where I am today – the influence of family and […]
Saturday Snap – What’s The Worst That Can Happen If Your Mom Is A Nurse and Your Dad Is A Librarian?
I can only hope our son escapes the indignity of becoming Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada! 😉
