Band of Horses + friends

The night was cold, and windy. But we didn't care we were sitting on top of a stone wall, swigging bourbon from the bottle, eating poutine, and listing to band of horses waft over from the car. We watched all the lights down below, that made the town look so much bigger than it really was. Talking about memories from our old home town, family and friends. Waiting for the bourbon to warm us up before the night was over. And then.... we drove terrified down the mountain because we both have an over active imagination, waiting for someone to jump out of the backseat or appear in front of us, as we were hitting the winding curves way to fast. Awesome night.

Whats new?

I spent some time reading through my blog this afternoon, and realized I really come across as a lonely person. Haha, I am a bit but not much. I guess not a lot has changed, the catering company is going well, and I am now on the board of directors for a charity that has the sole purpose of supporting and helping children that have been victims of sexual abuse. No dog yet for me, but I am dog sitting for someone else here in town. Fall is here which means winter is around the corner, which means snowboarding!

Trying to relax

So it's been a 63 hour work week so far. The farmers market it is finished and I had a huge sense of relief afterwords, I was happy. The next day was my first real catering event and it went amazing. I worked until midnight than went home to bed. I slept till 9 and got up to get ready to the office. When there I found that I really couldn't get through the mountain of paper work to do. So I headed to the pub for a bite and a couple of pints. I went home and went back to bed and slept till 7pm. I guess I am kind of lonely so sleeping takes the day a way and I don't have to be as lonely. I went shopping for groceries and talked to my mom and phone. I cooked myself something up that she would have made for me. Now I am watching a movie (end of days) and thinking about heading to the office tomorrow to get through that pile. Well the woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Fire!

So first day back to work, rocking some great AE plaid. Breezed by so much to catch up on, and still lots to do. Came home and went for a great run, one of those runs where you just want to keep going. I should've but I did not. I just came back from traveling home for a friends wedding (I was a grooms man) It was a good time visiting friends and family. On my last night there my parents house caught fire in the kitchen. So I got to play Captain Josh again, and get people out, as I fought through the smoke, my heart racing. Wheres the fire extinguisher? I can't see, out for breath, back in where is it? Out for breath, back in, it's underneath the sink. Rip off the safety, you know what your doing, you got this. Spray, back off, the flames come again, keep spraying. It's out! You can't breath! Your dog is in your room in the basement! Get her out! Don't let her breath in! Fresh air. Go back in get your phone and call the fire department. That was my exciting last night, the fire department came and ripped out cabinets, and chopped holes in walls. But in the end the smoke cleared, and we were able to stay in the house for the night if we wanted to. So after a day of traveling, I'm back home. And thinking about the future. Whats to come, where are you going? You know the usual stuff. So back to work, back to working at getting the other company up and running. Well that's it, I didn't have a plan of what I was going to type today, and thats what came out.

hmmm

Well my life is not that interesting so I am trying to think of something while I type this. Business is expanding and there is lots of projects on the horizon so that is good. I booked my flight back to my home province today for a visit. I am excited to see my family. My truck got fixed today, which I am excited about, still have to get a tire repaired since there is a screw in it. Um I'll try to think of something to type in the near future.

Canada Day

Happy Canada day! Well not too eventful, did not have to work which was nice, since I don't start work till tuesdays anyway. Woke up around 8 and went kayaking around nine, which was awesome and relaxing. Work is getting busy and hectic, talked to my boss today which is also my uncle and hopefully worked some things out of how we were talking to each other. Well less than a month and I'll be headed back to the home province. I really wanna get a border collie.
