A May Monday

Well, today was the last day of the long weekend and by golly it sure did pass me by quick. As I mentioned last week my parents came to visit and we had just a splendid time. Tours we're given, paths were walked, shopping was done, dinner was had and gifts (for my birthday) were received. They came Saturday, left today, and I must say I enjoyed the time they were here.

Also making the trip to toon town this past weekend; Devin, Amy and her sister Betheny. We hung out during the evening of both the Saturday and the Sunday and for the most part we enjoyed our time taking an interesting journey through the streets of downtown Saskatoon and an intersting late night dessert at a local Boston Pizza. On the menu yesterday we went to see Over the Hedge which failed to dissapoint (double negative) and turned out to be an enjoyable romp through North America suberbia.

I would also like to take the oppourtunity to announce (I'm hoping everyone who needed advance notice now knows) to my readers that Devin and Amy officially became engaged earlier this morning (I think.) I talked to Amy earlier today and left a voicemail message for Devin this evening wishing them both my congratulations and I encourage everyone else to do the same. From my understanding their having trouble coming up with names for Devin's side of the church so tickets for the big event may yet go on sale at your local Ticketmaster...

Last week I promised I would take some time this past long weekend to take some pictures of the campus and make them available to all of you. Well, I'm proud to say I get to keep my promise and direct you all to this web site where you can take your very own "virtual tour" of the University of Saskatchewan campus:

After my parents had left and Devin, Amy & Betheny had departed the fun didn't stop, oh no! With 31.1 degree weather here in Saskatoon Jessica and I tried to take advantage of the situation by playing a game of Volleyball out in the circle (game might be a bit strong a word.) Afterwards we went to spend some much deserved time in an air conditioned space as we went and watched (gulp) Just My Luck. Jessica and I tend to do a bit of give and take as far as movie selection is concerned with it just being the two of us out here and tonight was her turn to pick the flick. I told her before we left that sometimes movies that look like chick flicks aren't nearly as bad as they originally look. This wasn't one of those movies, although I didn't come out of the movie feeling any more ripped off than usual (ticket prices are a bit higher here than in Brandon.)

Well, that's all for tonight. This is a special post obviously with it being the end of the long weekend but really every post this week will be special. Wednesday will be my birthday post and my first blog post at the age of 22 AND Friday I'll be blogging from where else but Toronto where I'll be to accept my classes award for Canada's BEST student newscast! To kick off this big week let's hold a quick little contest. The FIRST person to make a post to the JSN Forum about either of the movies I mentioned in my blog tonight will win the iTunes single from that movies soundtrack (Over the Hedge | Just My Luck.) I agree, It's not a huge prize but let's see if we can have some fun!

Type ya'll Wednes(Birth)day!
