Brick Wall

I don't quite remember where or when Amanda and I took this photo together on Canada Day.  There is a brick wall behind us though.  Maybe that'll be enough for someone out there to identify the location.  :-)


Given our general pose though, I think we may have taken it while sitting and waiting for the parade to start.

...Sherlock Holmes would be ashamed of my deductive skills.

Ready for the Fireworks

Amanda and I took this photo together just before leaving for the Canada Day fireworks.  We're each wearing one of my Team Canada hockey sweaters.  I'm wearing the black 2002 sweater, and Amanda is wearing the red podium sweater from the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Just a minute after we took this photo, we left for Muskoseepi Park to watch the Canada Day fireworks together and with Amanda's friends and family.

The fireworks were amazing.  We sat together oohing and aahing until the show was over and we walked back to Amanda's apartment.

We managed a few more photos together last night and today, and I'll be posting them over the course of the next few days.

Windy Evening

Good evening everyone!

I was off for the weekend at noon, and was able to make it to Grande Prairie before Amanda got off from work as a result.  Now we've got all of Saturday and Sunday, and most of Monday to be together.  Yay!

We just got back about 20 minutes ago from Mr. Mike's.  I took Amanda out for supper there, and we decided to walk over to enjoy the weather.  The walk was great, supper was really good, and I'm thoroughly enjoying my time with Amanda this weekend already.

We'll be out and about at the Canada Day events this weekend (fireworks and parade).  If you're there as well, keep your eyes open -- you might see the Kissing Couple of Grande Prairie nearby!

My Not-So-Secret Addiction

My name is Jake, and I'm addicted to buying yarn.


<<sound of crickets chirping>>

Um, yeah.


I think I need to take a page from Amanda's book and start plugging away at the project I have underway, finish it, and then start working on the some of the other things I have planned.


Maybe -- just maybe -- I will.  ...But not tonight.  I'm busy chatting with Amanda and getting my stuff ready for my trip out to Grande Prairie for the weekend.  We'll be celebrating Canada Day there, and hopefully the weather will cooperate for it.  Regardless, we'll try to take a bunch of photos over the course of the weekend!
