Saturday was my little brother's Stag and Doe (otherwise known as socials for the Manitobans out there). It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. I got to see a lot of the family that i haven't seen since i got back.
It was a big pig roast and everyone brought something and we had an auction. We hired a real auctioneer (www.baileyauctions.com) us that he would do it for free, which was amazing. There were lots of games and everyone was very generous. The happy couple pulled in almost $6000 and there are still a few things coming in. I don't think I've ever heard of someone making that much. There are some really funny pictures of Tim and Jen with the money that I'll post here if i can get my hands on them.
Timmy got a wee bit drunk (never!) and started telling everyone just how much he loves them. It was lovely to be there.
I was really nervous leaving Whitehorse that i would get here and realize that we made the wrong decision. But its really not the case. These last few weeks have been hard in a lot of ways. But even with that there is still no question in my mind that we did the right thing coming back. We are both really happy here. Danny and I walked to Tim's house yesterday (my sister and cousin live in his basement apartment) and a bunch of us sat around playing Apples to Apples (thank you julia - its a big hit) and shooting the shit. And i realize that i wouldn't trade those moments for anything. Even if Tim is smelly. And talks about pooping way oo much.

You'll have to post some pics so I can show Andrew. He still talks about Tim, probably because he had someone to talk about poop with for a brief period.
We miss you guys. Everytime I play Guitar Hero I think of you.
