There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Wedding

2007-05-01T11:01:00.000-05:00

Countdown: 159 days left.

The wedding planning has been going well! Everything is pretty much set and only little things left such as invitation cards, tux fitting, wedding showers, stag and doe, and some other things. Lauren and I are getting excited about the wedding. :) Getting married is a huge step in life and I'm ready for Sunday October 7, 2007.

Finally!

2007-03-28T15:20:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone! I am finally back after 7 months absent from blogger website. I have been so busy with life, wedding, and work. I am way behind with everyone, but am getting myself back to reality. :-)

Lauren and I are doing great! We are getting married in October and is only six months away. Wedding planning is going well and more things need to be done. Lauren has been going to school every Wednesday to Antioch University in Keene, NH. She is majoring in Mental Health Counsellor and she has two more years left to receive her Masters. ;) Will I go back to school for my Masters? Ha! Who knows!

Spring is here already! I am thrilled because winter in Vermont has been odd. We did not get snow until January and we got three major storms and dumped several feet of snow. Now, it is melting quickly and has been very nice here. Winter is offically over (knock knock), mud season is here.

I finally got my Saturn car running and installed new battery, but right now it is stuck in the snow/ice/mud so I will have to wait for a while. I have put this off for too long and I don't know why I did. :-)

I have a lot to say, but I think my first day is enough. Krisz & mom, are you happy I started this again? I know you reminded me several times. :-)

Trip to Las Vegas!

2006-08-29T06:45:00.000-05:00

Lauren and I took a vacation to Las Vegas on August 10 - 15. We have been waiting for the day to come since February! "Whatever happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas" very famous quote there. If you ever thought of Las Vegas, I recommend you to go!

I am heading to the White Mountains in New Hampshire this weekend. I will be climbing up Tuckerman, just about 1,500 ft away from Mt. Washington. It will be cold and lots of snow after a snowstorm this week on the mountain. Yesterday morning, it was 18 degrees on the mountain. Yikes! Off to get some sleep for a long drive tomorrow.

Lala's Special Licence Plates.

2006-03-25T10:53:00.000-05:00

Lauren's so CUTE!

Lauren got her special licence plates in the mail on Thursday night. She went crazy and very excited! She has always wanted licence plates with "ORANGE" on her Wrangler Jeep! I am sure some of you already know she loves orange to death. :)

Orange sweater, orange coat, & Orange1. What's next? Haha!

Engagement News!

2006-03-20T09:38:00.000-05:00

Family & Friends,

Lauren & I are thrilled to announce our engagement on Saturday March 11th, 2006.

Details of the proposal...

We went skiing with Lauren's family and stayed at the resort right up the street. Every saturday night, they have fireworks so we all were down in the tavern so we could watch them. Right before they started, I went up to Lauren and asked her to go outside with me. As Lauren started putting her coat on, Lauren's mother said to take it off and stay inside... She was very confused! Then I took Lauren to the front of the tavern in front of her whole entire family, some friends and a bunch of strangers (brave man!) I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me! She said yes!!!! About 2 minutes later the fireworks started.

THE BIG DATE!: October 6th, 2007 in Medford, MA

Will you marry me!?

YES!!

The ring fits perfect!

BANG BANG BANG!

BANG BANG BANG continues!

The newly engaged couple!

Great Weekend with Jason in New England.

2006-02-24T20:22:00.000-05:00

It was a fun weekend of Feb 17-20! After my bus duty, I went home and learned that Lauren was FREEZING since 1pm bc the power went out. We had to go to Brattleboro to get in touch via pager with Jason. Whew! Jason was able to find us very easy. We went over to Keene, NH for dinner at Olive Garden then headed back home and the electricity was back on!

Sat, we headed to Boston and stopped by at Lauren's parents house to meet her father. He drove us to Shriners Hospital in Boston and we met Lauren's mom (Sherry) and had a tour. Sherry works in a nice big hospital where children are severely burnt. It was good to see kids getting all the happiness from the staff there. After that, we went walking in the blistery cold weather to Quincy Market/Fanuiel Hall to Cheers for dinner. Dinner was good and headed to Hong Kong for some drink, but we ended up drinking six scorpion bowls and two shots! We were pretty drunk and took a cab back to Lauren's parents where we stayed for the night. Jason decided he will come back when the weather warms up and explore Boston.

Sun, HUNGOVER day for me and Jason. Lauren was just fine, damn her! We went to New Hampshire to visit Lauren's sister and the family. We chatted and went out playing on the ice (small lake in the backyard). Lauren's nephew Tristan was so CUTE and learning a lot of new signs at 3 yrs old! We headed back to Medford for dinner then headed back to Vermont. We chatted for couple of hrs and watched a documentary movie before hit the sack.

Mon, we just relaxed and chatted before Jason headed back to Canada because he had to get ready for a big trip to Liverpool, UK. Lucky beep-hole! :)

Jason said he has 9 States left to visit bc he visited three states in one weekend (Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts). I have a long way to catch up with him. :) Jason took pictures over the weekend and haven't send it to me. He will send me the pictures when he returns from the United Kingdom. Will post it when I receive it.

Later,

Sheeesh!!!

2006-02-06T01:30:00.000-05:00

Awww sheesh!

Seattle Seahawks was defeated by Pittsburgh Steelers! I wasn't surprised there was more than 90% Steelers fan at Ford Field. The Superbowl altogether was alright, but the new commericals sucked. I only liked about three of them, thats all.

Lets see what happens next year in South Florida for Superbowl XLI.

The Sleeping Bitch! (Kitty)

Wanna know why I called Kitty a bitch? She is not friendly to strangers and takes a long time to develop connection with someone. It took me two years to pet her and we are fine now. :) Thank god!

Hollywood in Brattleboro!?

2005-12-03T18:05:00.000-05:00

Hollywood in Brattleboro, VT? A small town with only 12,000 people and is it suppose to be Hollywood?

Lauren and I went to Home Depot. Before we got out of the car, Lauren was finishing up her lunch and we saw three people walking towards Home Depot. One person seems very very familiar! It was Whoopi Goldberg. We never thought we would ever see her in real life. I have heard she has a home in the Brattleboro area.

Update After A Month...

2005-11-20T22:45:00.000-05:00

Sorry, I haven't updated my blog in a while. I have been really busy with many things in a month. I told Megan and Jason I will update my blog this weekend.

On Oct 23rd, Lauren, Bob (Lauren's dad) and I went to Bunganut Lake in Maine to close up the campsite. Cori (Lauren's sister) and her cute boys came up to help us. It was very quiet, cold, and very windy. It took us about two hours to altogether taking down the tarp that was over the fireplace, kitchen roof, and packing up foods, and making sure everything will be alright for the cold winter. See you in the spring BUNGANUT LAKE!

Lauren sitting with her nephews Tucker & Tristan.

Tucker staying warm in the cold trailer.

The last weekend of October Lauren and I went to a wedding in Massachusetts. The wedding was very simple and sweet. Dinner was awesome and was so full! Everyone danced all night while Lauren's mom and aunts fought to get to dance with me. It was so funny because Lauren's family is full of ENERGY! Of course, I had to dance several times with my lala. Lauren even danced with a bad foot she injuried from work and ended up very sore for few days, but it was worth it.

Laura, Cori, Sherry, & Lauren.

Val (Lauren's aunt) trying to boot Sherry out so she can dance with me bc I am a stud haha!

The next day after the wedding, it was cold and we had snow. Lauren and I decided to stay one more night instead of driving back home.

Our antique dining table and chairs are under the green tarp staying dry through the snowfall.

Last weekend, my parents and aunt/uncle came over to our place. We did some painting and work around the house. We went to Holyoke Mall (near Springfield) in Massachusetts and went to the Christmas Tree Shop. We couldn't resist spending money there, but that store wasn't expensive. Dad and my uncle painted the dining room and kitchen. It looks good and plan to take a picture before & after when I finish uploading the pictures from my digital camera. Lauren's parents came over for dinner with my family and it was so nice. I'm so happy they all get along so well. Thank you to my family and Lauren's family for your help. **Pictures will be posted later**

This weekend, we went to Massachusetts to visit our friend Sandra and her cute baby. After the visit, we went over to Walden School (our old job) to visit the kids and staff. The visit went well and was good to see them again. We headed over to Lauren's parents house for the night. This afternoon, we brought our last furniture to Vermont, but the bed we got which was suppose to be a queen size bed, turned out to be two single beds. We need to get new box springs because the one we got was REALLY worn out.

Thats the end of my one month report and I actually finished it! (whew!)

Hunting Season Has Started :(

2005-11-20T22:00:00.000-05:00

Hunting season started last weekend in Vermont. Hopefully our backyard pets do not get gunned down. Lauren has heard gun shots a few times coming from around our house. It would be so sad to see a deer come into our backyard thinking its safe and realize its not. Lauren and I went through our 15 acre backyard yesterday and put up NO HUNTING signs on the trees. So far we have not seen any hunters, but then again we havent been looking.
Hunting season starts with shotguns, then they use bow and arrows... there is a third one, but I'm not sure what it is. To me it's all the same because it all sucks!

First Snowfall of Fall '05.

2005-10-23T18:30:00.000-05:00

The morning of October 23rd, I woke up and had enough sleep. It was 8am and I was laying in bed looking at the window. I noticed something weird, it was a little brighter, notice something white on pine trees, and the roof was dripping water. The sun was trying to break through the clouds. I got out of bed quick and looked out the window, there was snow all over the yard, I checked the backyard and it was really snow. I thought to myself, it is October 23rd, I do not think I have seen snow that early. Before I went out around noon, the snow was gone.

Later during the day, I asked my friends from work and they said, "Snow!?" I said "Yea, there was snow on the grass this morning." They did not even see snow yet this year. I sat down and thinking why they did not get snow and realized I live higher from the ground and kind of on the mountain. That explains! It has gotten really cold and in the early 40's during the day.

It definitely will be a long winter in Vermont! They are calling for snow on Wednesday around the mountains (2-4 inches). We'll see if snow will land on our yard. :)

Deer in Sight :)

2005-10-18T22:30:00.000-05:00

Lauren and I have been told we will see deers in the front yard or back yard. We went over next door to see the landlord (they are rarely here). We chatted then the landlord told us there was a deer and fawn out in the backyard eating. We stood the sliding door and watched them eat. The fawn was not very far from us and was cute. After visiting the landlord, we went back to our home and took pictures of the mother and fawn. Again, I still can't find my digital camera battery charger! The pictures was taken by Lauren and need to be developed. If I am able to scan it and will attach it on blog, soon I hope! :) Ever since, we haven't seen any deers and hopefully we will see some again soon.

Rain Rain, GO AWAY!

2005-10-14T23:05:00.000-05:00

What's wrong with the weather around New England, New York, and New Jersey!

Last weekend, New Hampshire declared State of Emergency for southern part of N.H.! When I got to work on Tuesday, I was reading the Brattleboro Reformer newspaper and the terrible flood in NH with many people missing. It was been raining all week and total of 8 days straight of heavy rain. It was coming off the Atlantic Ocean and spreading all over New England.

Today, I went on bus duty to Burlington, VT and the weather was really awful with heavy rain at all times, but Burlington was fine. Recently on T.V. they have declared a mandatory evacuation in Keene (40 mins away from me) for 1,300 people and expecting more. What's wrong with the mother nature for the past 8 days.

The rain is suppose to last until Sunday (total of 10 days) and expecting more rain later this week. Right now, I am dealing with roof leak in the loft (attic) and there is 4 cups in place. Right now, I see another one coming and I have to get another cup after I post this on my blog.

Canada Thanksgiving Weekend!

2005-10-12T22:43:00.000-05:00

It has been 10 months I last visited my family in Canada! Lauren and I departed Thurs night right after work on Thursday night. I had to pull over to get some sleep at the rest area for a while then finally arrived to Sarnia around noon. My dad was surprised because he did not expect us to arrive that early. We went to meet mom at work and met her in the office. She was really surprised and was very happy! Heather came home around 2pm and chatted for a bit and I had to get some sleep. Mom went out to get me stuff for the house and cooked a good dinner! It was so good and was so full! Dad, Lauren, and I went to a hockey game and met my grandparents there.

Saturday, Jenn came home from London and chatted for a while. My neighbours came over for a short visit then the grandparents, uncle/aunt, and cousins came by for Thanksgiving dinner. Another delicious dinner and was so full! Lauren, Jenn, and I went out to Don Cherry for couple of drinks. Heather met us there and I wasn't used in seeing her at a bar, she is legal age to drink now! Jeez!

Sunday, poor grandma had to go to the hospital for x-rays. She was feeling a lot of pain around her hip after the fell 2 weeks ago. The x-ray result turned out to be a crack and there is nothing the doctor can do for now. We dropped her off and returned home. We had another good leftover dinner and dad and I went to see the last period of a hockey game. Overall, Sunday was the busiest day for me!

Monday morning, my grandparents came by for breakfast then Lauren and I packed the jeep. We brought a lot of things my mom gave us for our new place and craps too. :) We headed for London to see Jenn then headed for Vermont. The trip went good and missed home already.

We can't wait to come back for Christmas!

Boston Red Sox Fans

2005-10-03T21:41:00.000-05:00

Boston Red Sox fans are very WILD! Living in Massachusetts for the last two years, I have seen Red Sox fans going through a lot! The first year was the 2003 ALCS (American League Championship Series) against the New York Yankees when Boones hitted a HUGE homerun off Tim Wakefield and won the series 4-3 against the Red Sox.

The 2004 season, the Red Sox and the fans still believed they can win! They played the Yankees again in the 2004 ALCS and the Yankees were up 3-0 lead in the series. Somehow, the Red Sox were able to win the series 4-3. The fans throughout the New England were really WILD with screaming, partying, crying, etc... They won the World Series Championship. I believe the Red Sox fans are the best in baseball!!

This year, it has been a wild season! I went to two games in April and the fans were wild and noisy. All through the season, it was sold out and impossible to get tickets at Fenway Park. We saw the Red Sox battling for first place with Baltimore Orioles and the Yankees were lousy! Boston were able to lead the American East Division all through the baseball season. Seven weeks left of the season, the Yankees played so hard, just like they were in the playoff mode. They came and tied with Boston for first place. Last weekend, I went to Boston and saw some old friends who were so obsessed with frustrated with the Red Sox. The Yankees won the division title on Saturday, the fans in Boston were very disappointed. I don't blame them because I have always hated the Yankees! On Sunday, they won the Wild Card race and able to eliminate Yankees home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Tuesday, the Red Sox plays Chicago White Sox and it will be a hot series (3 out of 5). The Yankees plays against Los Angeles Angels. We will see how they do throughout the playoffs starting tomorrow afternoon.

Harpoon Festival!

2005-10-02T11:01:00.000-05:00

Lauren and I finally went to Harpoon Festival "Octoberfest" in Boston for the first time! We drove to meet Heather, Alejo then took the train to Boston. When we arrived, they were smart enough to provide shuttle buses to the festival *whew*. The Harpoon Festival was at the beer factory. It cost $12 to get in and they give out free plastic cups to use and to keep it as a souvenir. I bought 5 tokens = 5 yummy beers! There were plenty of choices and was so fresh and delicious! It was chilly that night and I had to force myself to buy a ski hat bc my hair is short. When the festival ended, we went to White Horse Bar, not far from Fenway Park. It was packed because the New York Yankees were in town to race for the division champion against the Red Sox. I had several beers and I was drunk! I haven't drank much lately. It was a lot of fun and definitely coming back to the next festival in the spring.

Lauren and I stayed at Heather's in Natick for the night. The next morning, we all were so exhausted and were airheads. We decided to stay longer and chill with Heather watching tv and baseball. Finally, Lauren and I had the energy to leave for dinner at Chef Orient with Alejo then and headed back to Brattleboro. When we arrived back, were were so exhausted and went right to sleep. Thank you Heather for letting us stay overnight. :P

I hope to get some pictures from the festival. :) Harpoon Brewery information, click on Harpoon Festival! (above)

Home Sweet Home

2005-09-28T23:30:00.000-05:00

Lauren and I have been doing a long apartment hunt! Boy! Brattleboro is so small and do not have great houses. We needed a place that have washer/dryer hookup because we got new w/d last spring. Brattleboro do not have lots of w/d hookup, most of them use the laundromat all the time. We found a nice Victoria house and was under renovation. The landlord was so strange! He offered us the first floor, the landlord lives on the 2nd floor, and a man lives on the third floor. In order to get that place, we must share our washer/dryer with them. NO THANKS!! We never got back to him again!

Two weeks ago, we went to work and we were reading the Brattleboro Reformer newspaper and searched in the classifieds section for any available apartment. We spotted an advertisement about a new, clean, bright apt, very private 15 acres, 1 bedroom with loft, basement , wd hookup, plenty of parking, and it was in Newfane about 20 mins away from work. Lauren called them immediately and we went over on Friday night to check it out. It was really nice and private with tv room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, big basement (wood stove), and loft in the attic. Saturday early morning, Lauren called the landlord and asked us to meet them next Saturday. We had to wait for the next weekend argh!. We really want this place badly!

The next Saturday, it was a nice cool morning and we went to see the landlord. Wow, it was a big property, quiet, and woods around the area because our first visit was at night time. The landlord was very friendly & loves to talk! We took another tour of the apartment and they even have trials in the woods. There were several people interested in this place and we had to work our ass off to get it. They asked us a lot of questions and looked really interested. They would return a call on Monday. We were very nervous about it! Jeez! The apartment is a duplex house and the landlord lives next door. They are never there and they are usually at their other home in New York.

Monday afternoon at 2pm, we got a phone call from the landlord and they have picked us. We were really thrilled! We really want to get out of the temporary apt at Austine School.

I will definitely take picture of the place and post it. That is when I will ever find my DAMN battery charger! :)

Canada Thanksgiving!

2005-09-17T21:44:00.000-05:00

When was the last time I was home in Canada?

It has been since New Years! I am finally coming home for Canada Thanksgiving from October 7th to October 10th. I am really looking forward in seeing my family and been so long away from Canada! *sighs* The airplane tickets has increased and decided to drive instead. Hope for a good flight deal for the Christmas holiday.

I used to check The Toronto Star online everyday, right now I am really behind since moving to Vermont! I gonna catch up. Canadian folks, is there anything new?

:)

White Water Rafting Weekend

2005-09-14T23:14:00.000-05:00

What a long traveling weekend! On Friday September 9th, Lauren and I left Brattleboro for Bunganut Lake Camp in Alfred Maine to meet Lauren's family. I left Alfred with Lauren's dad and brother while Lauren, her sister, and her mother stayed at the campground. The men headed for The Forks in Maine and the drive was very calm and peaceful. We finally arrived to Lake Moxie Camp (Moxie Outdoor Adventures) and camped overnight. It was really cold and stayed in a 4 bunk bed camp. We stayed closely by the fire and had enough beers to stay warm!

The next morning, we had breakfast and got ready to go White Water Rafting along Kennebec River. We got our equipment and got on a crap bus for Kennebec River. Finally, we arrived to get our raft and did some practice before heading to the rapid river. We arrived to the water and the big dam was just right there pushing the water like crazy. We finally got on the boat and raced down big waves and getting all wet. The next two hours was really rough and later the water started to ease down. We stopped by at an island along the river for lunch and got back rafting again, but the water was very mellow and went swimming.

We arrived to the end of the trip and headed back to Lake Moxie Camp to have dinner and some drinks. We headed to a bar nearby and it was really neat, had several drinks, I was so cold and wasted.

On Sunday morning, we all got up and left Lake Moxie for Bunganut Lake Camp to meet the ladies. It was another long road trip day for me and Lauren back to Brattleboro. The weekend was really good and want to go back White Water Rafting again. Whoever have never went white water rafting before is recommended!

Briefing of Austine School

2005-09-04T19:33:00.000-05:00

The name of the school "Austine" was named after Colonel William Austine who was a retired army officer. He opened the school for the Deaf & Blind students in the Fall of 1912 in Brattleboro, VT.

Holton Hall is the orginial building (now a historic landmark) was used for homes to students who lived far away from home. When the student population increased they had to build more facilities.

Austine School is now known for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing. Now Austine School is under Vermont Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing for more services such as consultant services for mainstreamed students, several regional classrooms, parent-infant program, family mentoring program, adult service, and several other support options. Vermont Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing provides an array of quality services to Deaf and hard of hearing children, youth and adults statewide.

More pictures will be posted whenever I find the battery charger for my digital camera.

Lauren and the Green Mountain behind is Hillsdale, NH.

Weekend in Framingham

2005-09-04T18:00:00.000-05:00

On Friday, we drove down to Framingham and went to Ken's Steakhouse. It was really delicious and expensive, we have seen that restaurant for 2 years and finally went there. We went to Barnes and Noble to look at books, of course I did not get any, but Lauren got 3 new books written by Dean Koontz. I bought a game related to the States, Captials, and Nickname. When we arrived to the apartment, we played the game and had fun. We had to sleep on the floor and it was so HARD!

The next morning, my neck and head were killing me after a lousy sleep. Lauren was groaning with a stiff back! I went out to Walden School to visit a student to say good bye. After that, I went to AMF bowling with Lauren and a bunch of friends from Walden School. We had fun playing three games of bowling and then Loren, Jenna, Lauren, and I went to IHOP for lunch. Lauren and I had to go back to the apartment to put the hard top on Lauren's jeep and clean up the apartment. Cleaning up was a lot of work and a pain in the ass, that is in order to get our security deposit back! Grr! Finally we were done after total of two days cleaning up! We closed up our apartment for the last time... we both miss it already. We packed up the jeep and it was TOO full and there was no more room for us to fit in! Lauren told me to bring two cars, but i thought everything would fit in one just fine... I was wrong. The jeep was so crowded and lauren had to sit with her legs up holding a backpack anda box full of dishes. I was so close to the pedals that my knees were touching the dashboard. It was hell driving like that for two hours. When we finally arrived to Austine School, we were knocked out cold!

Overall, the weekend was fun bowling with friends and definitely will miss them. We plan to come back and visit often since it is only two hours away. Depending on the gas price! Jeez!

U-HAUL!!

2005-08-28T21:30:00.000-05:00

Jeeez! What a weekend in Framingham, MA!! Lauren and I were excited about moving to Vermont, but the big move!? NO! On Saturday morning, we got up and got busy with packing and moving furnitures. Two weeks ago, Lauren booked a U-HAUL truck and get one month free storage in Greenfield, MA (20 miles away from Brattleboro). She called the storage on Saturday to see what time they close and they said they do not provide one month storage because they are not part of U-HAUL. She was puzzled and called the truck place and they said they did not even have a truck for us! Poor Lauren, she called and called and they were not very helpful. On their computer system, they had the storage that says 1 month free. We continued to pack and then got frustrated with U-HAUL. Lauren finally got a storage in Keene, NH (30 minutes away). Now the truck was the big issue to transport everything. Krisz stopped by to help us and then went to the bar. Alejo and Kevin stopped by to chat and have some beer.

On Sunday morning, U-HAUL was supposed to call Lauren at 9am, but never called back! Lauren called about 15-20 different phone numbers, customer sercice was not very good and said they sent an email to corporate headquarters in Framingham area. The last two days Lauren talked with more than 60 people about the truck and what did they do? NOTHING!!! When Lauren's dad Obo (Bob) came to help, he took over and fought with U-HAUL. We were all waiting for the truck so we can get moving. Lauren's brother in law Rick arrived and we just waited and waited. Rick and I went to get lunch from Burger King and I got an email thru my pager from Lauren that they FINALLY got a truck @ 2pm! Lauren and I went to get the truck and packed up the truck. Lauren already left to Keene, NH to open and put boxes in the storage from Obo's truck. Rick, Obo, and I finally finished moving the furnitures at 5pm! The storage in Keene closes at 5pm on Sunday! Wonderful!!

Obo and I arrived in Brattleboro around 7pm and met Lauren. We were so exhausted and went out for dinner then Obo left to go home. Now Lauren and I will have to do everything ourselves tomorrow or Tuesday before we can return the truck by 1pm Tuesday.

We will NEVER rent from U-HAUL EVER AGAIN! We suggest you not to rent from them too. I have seen some complains from other people about U-HAUL online. Lauren's mother wants us to sue them... said we could get all of our money back, but I dont think we are going to waste anymore time on them. They don't help at all! IDIOTS!

Vermont

2005-08-25T17:26:00.000-05:00

Vermont!? Should I be living in the Green Mountain State? Well, I got a new job in Brattleboro, VT at Austine School For The Deaf. I will be working at a treatment program on campus. The previous job I had was in Framingham, MA at Walden School is different than my new job. Lauren also got the job too! :) We are in "small town" shock because we have lived in a big city/town, but VT is so different! We are living in a very small town, 5 miles away from New Hampshire. Vermont is a nice place to live, mountain views, low clouds in the morning with nice sunrise, and the weather is perfect.

The weather here is starting to get cool. We were told about "LONG WINTER", whick starts possible in Oct and ends in April. Lauren and I are thrilled to go skiing on our days off! We are about 3.5 hours away from Montreal, 8.5 hrs away from Sarnia where my family lives, 2 hrs from Boston, and 4 hours away from Alfred, ME where we have a campsite at Bunganut Lake through the summer.

We have absolutely no coverage on our pager! We are back on the computer and researching in getting a new blackberry pager that will work. I am definitely NOT getting a cell phone and using text message.

Lauren and I started training yesterday and just completed day two. Tomorrow is set-up day in the dorms and going through procedures. After training, we have to head back to Framingham to our apartment and do the final packing. Sunday is the big move day! Will be a long weekend, *sighs* oh well, thats part of life.

We start our first day with kids is on Tuesday. We are glad Austine School gave us an a room to use for a while. Means our new apt search will begin soon!

Will update about our big move after the weekend. Am off to complete the movie set of Friday the 13th I borrowed from my friend.

Greetings!

Greetings!

My very first blog! It sure was so hard to come up with a screen name. My girlfriend Lauren and I thought of few things characteristics and came up with "easy going", but just "easy" didnt sound right. Then Lauren thought about "EZ-Pass" when we pass the toll booths. The way we say "Z" in Canada is different from the USA. In the USA, they say "Zee" as for "Z" and Canada we say "zed". Lauren always laugh and make fun of me when I call it "EZed-Pass". So why not use it and of course my famous number 47 I still see everyday!

I will be posting more soon.
