Well, I don't know where to start really because it has been the best summer of my life and I am looking foward to the fall/winter to see how things work out. I am sure things will be great though and I am looking foward to more chalenges that are brought my way because with the confidence I got built up in myself right now, it would take a lot to break me. Even though I had a hard beginning in St. John's, when April came around things started looking up (but accepted my past as well). So here's my list of the best memories of my summer:
1. Moving in with Tammy on my birthday. She let me move in early and we had fun that day with the U-Hall truck and that night, it was nice to have close friends by.
2. In the beginning of May, I had a girl named Teri-Lynn (which I kissed because of this) tell me a girl in her training class liked me and her name was Tiffany. Then my friend Shannon invited me to her's friend birthday party where Tiffany would be attending.
3. Andrea's birthday is where there was a lucky penny flipped in the decision to go downtown with me or not for Tiffany (just say I still have the penny). First night at O'Reiley's was a blast.
4. May 15, Tea Party Concert is where Tiffany and I became an official couple. Tammy's boyfriend Jason tried to get her to come home with me, but did not work.
5. When Tiffany was living at her old place, there was many fun nights of drinking and dancing downtown. Never met a girl that could drink as she could, but still won't go drink for drink with the Master.
6. At Tiffany's friend Brewer's birthday party, I got to know Andrea and Kelly better and they both work at Randy River and Andrea has been great to me ever since when I go shopping. I think I kissed her that night also and becamce "Tequila Sunday".
7. There were three BBQ's held at Tammy's house and everyone of them I cooked the food to my perfection and the rest of the night, let the food soak up all the alcohol that I consumed at the time. Lots of pics as well.
8. The first hike of the summer with Katie was a blast. We were a bit out of shape, but it was beatiful when we got on top of Fort Amherst.
9. Road trips around the local area with Tiffany has been great and seeing all the beautiful scenery that I never knew existed was great as well.
10. Having Tammy's sister Tara and her family move in was fun as well. I got to see her baby girl every morning and play around with her before work (miss them not around).
11. My brother Leon came down for a visit and some of the nights are a blur because of all the drinking we did and thanks to the bro for leaving me some beer. Fun times for sure and glad everything is ok with him right now. Couldn't ask for a better brother.
12. Saving all that work done on my car because of Jason, total appreciation there.
13. Around George Street Festival, Shannon moved in with her friend for a few weeks and Jay came down for work that weekend and that was fun as well. Always good to see old friends from Acadia, 6 Years Represent!!!!!!
14. Trip to Grand Bank was amazing, but I am glad Tiffany was asleep for most of the drive because she would of been nervous I bet, hehehe..... Trip back to the "Boot" and I seen so many sites that I'll never forget and hopefully see in the future. Met Tiffany's friend Jill in which we've become good friends over this and Messenger.
15. Hike to Deadman's bay. Just enjoyed the whole afternoon alone on the beach, with a fire and waterfall in the background with Tiffany. A total relaxing day.
16. Spending time with my little cousin Logan in Paradise. The kid has been growing so much since I first held the baby in my arms. If I was to have kids, you know it's going to be cute.
17. I can't even count how many more amazing moments I had with Tiffany throughout this summer because every moment I spent with her felt amazing. Thanks Tiffany, you mean so much to me (so this list can continue further).
Things to look foward to:
1. Parents are coming tomorrow. I get to see them once or twice a year now, so anytime spent with them is always nice.
2. Camping trip to LaManche during my next weekend off with Tiffany.
3. PEARL JAM!!!!!
So my life has totally changed around this summer and I can't believe it. I'll definately charish every great moment I had and the new people that came into my life.

A Perfect Ending, To A Great Summer
Alarm, after alarm, after alarm..... That was this morning, but the fact I had someone special laying next to me that decided to stay a bit longer was a great way to start off the day. However, lets back-track to the beginning of the weekend where, possibly the best weekend of the summer had occured.
I know technically it is not the last weekend of the summer, but it was the last one I had off because of work and the last one I got to spend with Tiffany, until she goes back to school. However, we definately made the best of it. Friday night, I was working, but Tiffany went out with her friend from home Stephanie and a girl from work Courtney to downtown for a few drinks. Just say, from the shape she was in the next day, she must of had a good time. Stephanie seems like a great person and definately a great friend of Tiffany's. Courtney is a sweetheart and doing nursing with Tiffany in the fall. Nurse Hardy and Nurse Labour, hehehe... So Saturday morning, I slept through my alarm, but the second I got a call, I got up and got ready for a hike. We decided to go on a hike to Deadman's Bay, and it was great. The overall hike wasn't to long and the hardest part is going down the slope to the bay. When we got there, there was a beach with large rounded rocks, a small waterfall, and a beautiful view of the rocks around and wildilfe. Just say it was just the two of us for the whole afternoon. We had a fire going and cooked food with it and relaxed in front of it. I stood under the waterfall a few times, the water was freezing, but refreshing. There was one point where Tiffany napped on a piece of wood, while I wondered around looking at rocks. Still a geologist by heart. So just say the whole hike was great and lots of fun... After the hike, we washed up and went to a few stores before we went to the movies. We went to see Four Brothers and I thought that was excelent. Just say that night, it didn't take long to get to sleep. Sunday morning, Tiffany and I slept in again, hehehe... Seems to be a pattern here. We went to my Aunt's for the afternoon to spend time with the family and play with my little cousin Logan. He keeps growing, but he's adorable still. So they cooked us a Sunday dinner, which was great and I got some of my partridgeberry pudding. The name of that food could be decieving, but it is not desert, it goes with the main meal. Tiffany liked it also. After that, on the way home, we stopped at Chapters for a bit. However, when we got home, we were restless, so we decided to go to the flea market at the mall and that was the first time I was there and I bought a expansion pack for my N64 that I spent over two years looking for and it was still in the original package (I guess that means my N64 might have to be sent down now). Then we came home and watched Cellular and then went to bed. Then you know the rest.
So it was an non-stop, action filled weekend (more than what was mention ;)). I couldn't of asked for a better weekend though, it seemed like everything we did, we were on the same wave length. Techncally she was suppose to work yesterday, but I am glad she didn't. As you can imagine, everything is still as great as we started or even greater. I love that girl :D
So we ended off the summer with a bang...or a few. If you asked me, back in April, if I would of imagine a summer like this, I probably would of laughed in your face. However, now where it all happened, I look back and see the best summer I ever had. Mainly thanks to Tiffany, but so much more in how everything came together. Smiles all around.
P.S. Couldn't ruin the this blog in mentioning work...

Feeling Uncomfortable...
I guess my Blog today is for what I thought I lost yesterday.
Yesterday was my day off and one of the plans for the day off was go to the Geo Center with Tiffany and her friends Alfred and Robyn, but I backed out in the last second. As you can imagine Tiffany was upset over the situation because Alfred is a good friend of hers and he wanted to meet me. For some reason I felt really uncomfortable meeting him and I didn't know why. It's not only him I was uncomfortable around, she has one large group of friends, with one part of them I feel the same towards as well.
So I went to a friend of mine that I spent four years with and because of that, knows me very well. It made me realise one thing about my relationship with Tiffany and the fact that it's a totally new experience with me. What do I mean by that you might ask? Well my past few relationships, it seemed like it all started the same way and ended the same way. So dating a girl that dated two guys in the same group made me a little insecure at first and still do to be honest with you. I don't think I can handle hanging out with my girlfriend's ex's. The reasoning for that is that knowing at one point of her life she felt something towards them as well. In addition, I didn't feel like I belonged in that group when I was around and that's fine with me. It's definately going to take some getting use to, but I'll never tell Tiffany in who her friends are. So Alfred, if you read this by chance, I am sorry for not giving you a chance, I was just totally nervous about the whole situation, but next time (if there is a next time) I will try my best to meet you.
Here are two comments that Lish told me which helped a lot with this situation:
- "but at least you know that she is not withthem and she is with you and there is a reason for that"
- "you both care alot for each other, so loosen up and have fun ‘cause really you shouldn’t even care that anyone else exists, just that you’re there and she’s there and that you’re there together and that’s what you both want"
Tiffany and I started out great, it might of been due to a flip of a penny (which I still have) or the fact it was meant to happen. We just spent an amazing summer together and at first I was worried about the fall, but she convinced me otherwise in showing how she feels as well. Last night proved that it's going to take a lot to break this relationship where the connection is so strong. I know I said I was sorry yesterday Tiffany, but I am saying it again and if I get an other chance to meet Alfred, I'll try to relax and be there with you this time. However, I still not sure about next Friday, but hopefully you understand more at this moment.
I don't know who reads my blog, but whoever does, there is one thing I like for you all to know, I Love this girl and it's going to take a lot to prove me otherwise :D.

Over A Month Later...
Well, well, well, where to start? Well I promise Jilly that I would do a new posting so she could leave an other comment and after reading my old posting, there has been a lot on the go since then. There is also for you Bambrick, after reading you previous comment as well.
Lets start with work, so I can comment on it and leave it as is. The last email was about all that overtime I did that one week and I thought after that I would never do overtime again. However, Convergys decided to bring some incentives because there wasn't enough people signing up for overtime where we are pretty much sort staff. The incentives was that if you work two hours overtime during the week, they would give you a $20.00 gift certificate to either Tim Horton's, Sobey's, Wal-Mart, and Future Shop. Also, if you worked 24 hours of overtime in the month of July, they would give you two days of with pay. Just to cut this portion short, I will have my two days off and will be getting $260.00 worth of gift certificates to Future Shop on August twentieth (getting a nice MP3 player). Oh yeah, the best thing is, you still get paid time and a half for doing overtime as well. Other than that, work is the same old stuff.
Now there has been a lot of things happening in the last month. My brother Leon came down at the beginning of the month of July for almost two weeks and it was definitely a good time. I don't get to see him very often during the year, so having him here for a few weeks was great. We went drinking about one or two or three or who knows how many times? He got to go to the driving range with Tammy's brother-in-law one evening in which he had a blast. We went to see the Fantastic Four when it first came out because the both of us are big Marvel fans, not from the magazines though, from the cartoons. Other than that, we chilled out a lot and I showed him the sights of course around St. John's. Tiffany and him got along and my brother even told me I was not to let this one go. Smiles all around. On the same topic of my bro though, a week later when he went back to Labrador, he was in a serious car accident on the Trans Labrador Highway. He was in Labrador City Hospital and Quebec City Hospital the same weekend where he was badly beat up. Pretty much, he had to get surgery done on his ear, he had cuts and bruises all over, he got a fracture rib, and during the time a puncture lung. However, he pulled through the whole ordeal and now is home doing a lot better and probably still recovering. Also this month, I had a friend moved in for 10 days, in which she is still here tell mid-way this week because she need a place for her and her friend Diana to stay, where she got into a fight with her old roomie/landlord over something that shouldn't even been done in the first place. However, that is Shannon's business and I hated seeing a good friend down, so I asked Tammy to see if she could move in for a bit. Great having her around though, cheesecake and cookies, can't go wrong with that. During her stay here, a good friend of mine from Acadia Geology was down for a couple of days for work and it was his first time in Newfoundland. His name is Jay and I honestly don't think we stopped the whole weekend. Showed him the sights and stuff as well and then took the boy to George Street Festival. It was a crazy time that night for sure.
Then comes the past weekend in which deserves its own paragraph because it was the best weekend of the summer I had. Friday, Tiffany and I went on a road trip to her home town of Grand Bank because there was a festival going on called Grand Bank Day. I wonder why Churchill Falls, don't have a Churchill Falls Day because it's seems like every community in this region has one? I think it's just an excuse to be able to drink on the streets, hahaha... So on Friday, when we got there, I got a little tour of the place and got to meet some of her family members as well. I didn't say much because I was too shy of course. We also went sight seeing until it was dark. That night we had Sharon's cheescake and it was really, really good stuff and also had Audrey's French fries/Wedges with Gravey and Dressing and that good shit as well. That night we stayed home and relaxed and played some board games, in which I lost every game. I'll be a man and admit to the losts. Saturday, we slept in until noon and I think it was the first time we ever slept that long. After we woke up, we went to Sharon's again and had the amazing club sandwiches that they make there, with a pasta salad. Guess what I had for desert? Cheesecake again. After we had something to eat, we decided to take a trip around what's called the "boot". It's basically the trip around the whole Burin Peninsula. Went to a miner's museum in St. Lawrence and went to a place called Chambers Cover and it was really foggy out there, but lots of fun. Saturday, was also Grand Bank Day, so when we got back from the trip, we went to Tiffany's friend Jilly's boyfriend place. Confused? It was a good time for sure and then went to the water front and Jason Greely was playing. Whoever does not know who he is, keep it that way, hahaha... Yesterday morning, we got up and had some breakfast at Sharon's and you guesses it, I had more cheescake. Hmmmmm... We then went to Fortune Head Ecological Reserve where supposively there are fossils all over the place, but I did not find any. I could of taken out the big guns, but decided to leave the cliff in tact for once in my life. We went to one of Tiffany's nans for dinner and then came back to St. John's to end off am amazing weekend.
As you can tell, Tiffany and I are still going strong and I think I did a lot of smiling over the weekend, but I guess you would have to ask her to confirm that. As times goes on, it seems like things are just getting better and better with us and I really hope it stays that way. I don't need to comment in how amazing she is because you heard it all before.
I will post pictures on my MSN Space later as well.
