Best Weekend In A Long Time

I am not saying that my previous weekends has not been great, but this one was just amazing and I dedicate it to Tiffany. The reason I dedicate it to her is because lately she has been so stressed out with everything (school, family, other things, and etc...) and I wanted her to get away from it all and just relax and have fun in the same process. She definitely deserved it and I know she was very appreciated of it. So Lara, sorry we missed your birthday, but I really hope you had a great one either way. So I also hear that Beth was praying for rain so we couldn't go, but it hit kinda late, but definitely made this morning a hectic one in packing all of our gear up while it was pouring. So Beth, I think you should start working on a rain dance, hehehe... I can teach you from my native ways. So Tiffany and I had a weekend out of the city and let me tell the highlights of the trip:

Friday, I picked up Tiffany from school and we went directly to the mall because Tiffany needed her fix of coffee to stay awake and this was also a common scene of the weekend as well, but you got to love her with the substence in her because she is just happy and energetic when it comes in contact with her. It's so funny. So we then got to Botter Pot around 30 mins later and what a beautiful spot. It's like going into a valley with a huge lake, brooks, lots of trees, and when we got out of the car, lots of black flies. It really didn't bother me much, but not a highlight on Tiffany's trip, that is for sure. Just say, when I bring her to Labrador, it will be in the Winter, that's for sure. So we got out new awesome tent up and everything unpacked and cooked supper. After supper, we went for a walk and then went back to the tent to relax for the rest of the night. Somthing I won't forget about that night is "do you know who this is?" while getting a phone call from a girl that spells her name with a "-" and without an "e" and I thought she was drunk at first, but found out later she was actually driving that night. So Lee-Ann, you are pretty much the same as drunk and sober and I do have you daved on my phone, next time, don't block the caller id. Satuday morning, we woke up and had a great breakfast and started a trip to Cape St. Mary's. It was a very beautiful day, but like my little hiking book stated, never believe the weather, unil you actually make it out there and it was so true, we hit a very fogy coast, but it was still warm. Cape St. Mary's was a sight I wanted to see since I came to the Rock and it was definitely worth the trip. I was just amazed from the large amounts of birds on one cliff, it was nuts. I also never realized how be Gannets were until I seen then close by. Tiffany also noticed two of them having sex, don't even ask? The birds were cool, but I didn't really expect to see a goat and sheep walking around. You had to be really carefull where you were walking or you could just step in poo. In addition, it smelt there. So Tiffany and I ate our lunch there and made a stop at the Gannet's nest, which is a restaurant near Cape St. Mary's for Tiffany to get a coffee. I also stole some water to fill up my cooler as well. A very productive stop we'll say. On the way back, we made two stops. One being Colinet and ther other being SalmonierNature Park. Colinet is a home of one of my friends from work and I decided to suprise her with a few pictures, evne one of me infront of her house with the anchor and it so worked out. I think the highlight of the day though is Salmonier Nature Park. Tiffany told me that we should go there on the way back and I definitely was not disappointed. I got to see so many animals like, owls, groundhogs, eagles, moose, caribou, geese, rabbits, foxes, hawks, minks, and more I am sure. Great choice Babes. Later we got back to the camp site and seen some more wildlife like an other rabbit and a chipmunk. We ended the night infront of a fire and just relaxed. Then came this morning, where it rained and we packed up our gear and left, but the rain can't over shadow the amazing weekend we had.


That was the weekend and even though it was a great camping trip, there is an other one planned in a few weeks out in Central Newfoundland and it will be close to a week and we both can't wait. Just bring it.

Well, back to work tomorrow and work is still going fine. I really can't say I spent much time on the phone lately, but I am very happy to help out the CDP/CDV rep.'s and taking escalations are alright. I am sure many people at work must think, who am I sucking up too? No one, I just show up to work everyday and I feel I know what I am doing and if I am not sure about something, just ask. The best thing about work though, is the people, Without the people, Convergys is not a place to work. Lots of variety of people and many friends there and I really can't complain too much about the place, it is where I met Tiffany and all and we all know how that turned out.

Earlier this week, I got accepted to go to CONA and now only have a week to figure out if I could go or not because of financial reasons and the deadline to send back the acceptance letter is June 9th. I got accepted to do Geomatics Engineering, so I could stick with my geology ways, but not sure I could afford it or not. It sucks that you have to pay for education and I would like to do more, but I am happy to stick with Geology. Geology is more than a career for me, it's a hobby of mine as well. So I keep applying for jobs that comes my way, nothing in two years, but I am not quitting. "6 Years Represent!"

So my life is good. Great, amazing, and beautiful girlfriend that appriciates me for me and more than a year of good memories and sure more to come. The bro is coming down in the end of the month for his vacation. Week long camping trip in a few weeks. If you want to se pics, feel free to check out my MSN SPace. That's it for now, hope you enjoyed the long read.
