A lot to catch up on...

Nearly two months since my last blog post.

I don't even know where to begin. So much has happened in that time that it's difficult for me to remember everything.

In two months, there has been pure excitement, happiness, and sorrow.

I suppose, the two "big" stories would be my sister getting married, and the passing of my grandma.

I sit here at Lindsey's house.. and know that I want to write a big blog about my grandma.. about her life, about my time spent with her... but even just writing that last sentence hurts. Maybe I'm not exactly ready to touch upon it yet. If I'm going to write a blog post about her, I'm going to make sure it's a damn good one. One that isn't written to bring tears of sadness, but one that brings tears of happiness, of a fulfilled life. That is what she would want. That is the least that I can do. I just don't think today is a day that I want to spend with tears running down my face as I write... another day, another time.

Ashley's wedding was amazing. I had a great time, and I think everyone else did too. Though, I'll admit, it's still weird to say "Ashley's husband" or "my brother-in-law". With time I suppose.

She had her wedding at Swan-e-set golf course. Was a great ceremony, wasn't anything super formal, there were laughs, tears and smiles shared by all. I was Ashley's witness, so was one of the first to be able to congratulate them. So what do I do? give the patented "Travis high-5" to each of them.

Ceremony was fun, good food, got to see/hang out with family that I hadn't seen in a while. Got to *finally* dance with Lindsey properly :P

All in all, it was a fantastic wedding, and Ashley and Jon are still on their honeymoon for another few days.

I had my interview with the Calgary Fire Dept. on Wednesday. I'll hear back from them early next week. Truth be told, I'm not too hopeful on it. I don't feel like my interview was as solid as it could have been. But I've pulled things out of my ass before, perhaps I did it again.

Heading back home tomorrow, spent the last 11 days here in Calgary. Gets harder and harder to go home every time. But it will only be 17 days apart before I pick her up from the airport and hang out for a day and a bit before heading to Hawaii with my parents, Ash and my brother in law (gotta say it in order to get use to it!). Will be fun :) Ash and Jon are coming out for a weekend just to be there to spread some of my grandma's ash's.

Lindsey and I are still great. Having a great time, going on adventures, making laughs, and building memories. Best relationship I've been in, ever.

Have a big decision to make in regards to work (Pegasus) though I'm pretty much certain I know what I'm going to do. But still a big step forward but I know I have the help and support if I need.

Sushi tonight with Lindsey/Brad/Danielle/"Papa bear" (assuming people respond to Linds!). I love going for sushi with people who are new to it, the look on their face when I eat sashimi or other things is always funny, plus it's nice to see people try something new and the look on their face when they *hopefully* like it.

Feels good to write a blog and put down everything, good way to look back and remember what was going on in my life, I get pretty forgetful at times.

I'll have more posts in the future, promise. :)

Oh! One last thing. 6 months with Linds in 10 days... crazy! Times flown by, can't believe it's been 6 months already. But like I said, we're doing great, and making the most of every moment we have.

That's all for now!
