Megan and Chris

Hey everyone,

Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years.  We are back in Kelowna now, getting into the swing of normal life after the holidays.  I spent three weeks in Edmonton in December, hanging out with friends and family and getting lots of wedding planning things done.  Chris came home on the 23rd and we got a lot more things done in the week between  Christmas and New Years.  Overall, a productive time!  Somehow though, there is still a whole lot of stuff to do in the next four and a half months.

We’re still managing to get up to Big White despite the growing ‘to-do’ list.  Chris is ski patrolling lots, and I spent last Saturday teaching my roommate Shelly to snowboard.  Eventually I will convert you all…

I started practicum last week, doing drug and alcohol presentations in middle schools as well as lots of other stuff.  Turns out fourth year practicum will actually require some effort, research and creativity on my part (which third year didn’t really need).  It should be a good time though; the counsellor I’m working with is lots of fun.

We’re still working on the process of getting ourselves to Ireland (or really anywhere on that side of the Atlantic).  We aren’t sure when exactly we’re leaving. Right now it looks like it will either be fairly soon after the wedding, or a bit later in the summer. I would like to be back in Kelowna at the beginning of June for my convocation, and then the world is our oyster.  The timeline depends a little on what visas we end up applying for and how long it takes to get that wonderful paperwork done.  We also haven’t really thought a whole lot about where we’re going to live or what we’re going to do there, but that’s the adventure.  There are also several reasons that delaying our leaving til September would be okay too… several weddings, a new niece and/or nephew in August, and there’s the goodness of Kelowna in the summer.

We’re playing with the website a bit, trying to get some more useful information up here.  Hopefully you won’t get lost.

We’ll keep you in the loop.  When we know, you’ll know. Right now, nobody knows. Et cetera.
