Howdy from Dauphin

Here is an update of what's been happening for the last few days...

On Thursday I went to Curves with my mom. It was nice having someone to workout with and talk to. In the afternoon Chris and I went with my sister Diana to her chiropractic appointment with Dr. Tapper. Chris then stayed at the clinic (Tapper Chiropractic on Pembina - across from the U of M) for a couple of hours to shadow Dr. Tapper. He said it was enlightening, and he got a lot of ideas for when he starts working. Dr. Tapper also showed Chris how to do a couple of adjustments - with me being the guinea pig. He did a very good job! :-)

On Friday my mom and I went to Curves again. Chris took the car out to get cleaned up inside and out. It is nice to have a clean car again! That night Chris and I were supposed to go out to dinner and a movie, but the dinner went too long so I got dinner and dessert instead! I highly recommend Boston Pizza's Double Chocolate Mousse Cake. After dinner we packed up our stuff to stay at Chris' brother Mike's house for a couple of days.

On Saturday Mike and Kristi made us an eggs, bacon, and toast breakfast which was very delicious. Marissa and I met my mom and Vincenso at Pins and Needles to get Marissa's flower girl dress fitted. We kept her occupied with a bag of gummie bears so she was content to stand still in one spot. She was a very good girl - of course! ;-) Chris went to a baseball practice of the MOM's - Men of Maranatha. I also had another roll of film developed, so I hope to get more pictures posted in the next couple of days...

Sunday was Chris' birthday. I tried to let him sleep in while I got Marissa ready for Sunday school. We did a pretty good job - it helped that Kristi got up and watched her a bit for me while I got ready. ;-) We were only 15 minutes late. It was really nice to see everyone at Maranatha. Chris went to Assiniboine Park for lunch with friends, while I took Marissa back to Mike and Kristi's for a quick lunch so she could have a nap. She was pretty played out and really needed it. That evening Kristi's parents came over, along with my mom and my sister Diana, for Chris' birthday supper. We had a barbeque and ate outside. We also compared Mike's and Chris' barbequing skills, but I'm not allowed to say who won!?! I'm pretty sure that Chris had a really good day.

Today we packed everything up and headed to Dauphin to visit with my dad and extended family here. We left at 11:30, made a quick stop in Neepawa, and arrived at 3. We are planning on staying in Dauphin until Monday, and then we will head back to Winnipeg.
