Home Again

October 31....at the beginning of this month I could not wait for October to be over. Now I can't believe that it is! There wasn't a week that went by without some up or downs (more downs that ups).

Right after Allison & Colin's wedding I caught a cold that turned into larangytis by the end of the week. This meant no talking for Melissa, which also meant everyone making fun of me because they all know how much I like to talk! There was also a lovely barking cough that came with it...but thanks to some antibiotics and Steven taking good care of me, I'm all better.

In my last post, you read that Steven & I were packing up to go to Wynyard to be with his dad (Darius) and the rest of the family. As some of you know, Darius was diagnosed with cancer (Soft Tissue Sarcoma) at the end of August. Sadly, Darius passed away on October 23, 2006. Steven & I would like to thank everyone for their prayers, love & support during the last few months and through this difficult time.

So, now we are trying to get back into a routine at home. Steven left for work yesterday & I had an interview at the hospital for a secretary position in the Speech, Language & Hearing department. I'm headed off to Calgary this weekend to meet mom for the James Blunt concert & then meet my dad the next day for a visit. It should be a good weekend....I'm looking forward to it! Steven will be back in town next week, so we look forward to seeing everyone then.

Until next time....

Rocktober So Far...

Steven & I went down to Strathcona one day and played photographer. It was such a beautiful fall day, so we spent the afternoon playing with all the settings on our camera.

A belated blog congrats to Alli & Colin on the big day! Steven & I had so much fun at their wedding, what a great day it was (I have a lovely bruise on my leg to prove it)! It was really nice to see all of the family together and it got us really looking forward to our wedding next year.
Not much else that is new...Steven & I are packing up the fifth wheel & the cats to go to Wynyard for a little while to be with his family. I'm sure I'll have more news to post when we come back!
