The Last Goodbye

Well, my time here is quickly coming to an end. I leave Canada for Zambia in less than a week and I have been busy getting things ready to go. A week ago (Labour Day) Claudia and I had an engagement party to celebrate with some of our friends and family. It was a great opportunity to see many people before we leave. It would be nice to see everyone individually but this is virtually impossible. We would spend so much time saying goodbye that we wouldn't have time to go to Africa.

Plans for our wedding are coming along quite nicely. We have a hall and a church booked. Claudia has also bought her dress and we have a photographer and plans for decorating. I'm sure there will be much to do when we return but I know it will be a great time. We are both really looking forward to our wedding.

In other news, for those of you who have met my sister (Kate) she now has a boyfriend. Kate is currently studying in Australia and will return to Canada next August. Her new boyfriend's name is Anthony and he is from England. I think Kate is pretty happy about it (as she should be). I know we are excited for her.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Feel free to e-mail me or add comments here (even anonymous comments are great). I'll try to keep everyone updated about how things are going. Goodluck and Godspeed
