CONGRATS Cory and Monica!!!!

Yes, the little bundle of hair, I mean joy, has arrived!!! :) Xavier ( I think that's how you spell his name..) he was named after his great grandfather... He is so cute!! Monica was enduced and ended up having a c-section on the 27th. The baby was 8 pounds 6 ounces, healthy and yes, has lots and lots of hair!!! oh, and very long...he is almost pretty much 2 ft long when he stretches out... Holy Crap!!! no wonder she was getting kicked here there and everywhere. He has very long fingers and big feet.... He sure is cute!

I am going to be planning a coed baby shower for them when I get back from Mexico .... It will probably be the first weekend in March and will be just for us friends and maybe a couple people she wants to invite... she has already had a shower with her family. I will keep everyone posted with the date.

YES!!! Silver Star this Friday!! can't wait!!!!

Anyone wanting to go up the hill tomorow, please let us know....
I will be home all day, going to the gym for a couple hours at 1pm but otherwise, give me a call.

We may be going up fo 3:30 when it starts, or hopefully Bryce is coming and we will go up when he gets home at 4:30. If you want to just meet us there later, that would work too.

Well see you tomorrow. So far we have Me, Sammi, prob... Cam, Prob... Bryce, Prob...my brother, and possibly his girlfriend who is a snowboarding instructor up at the hill.!!!!

Oh ya....Dave, are you coming???? AND ISAAC, YOU BETTER NOT DITCH US THIS TIME!!!!

Silver Star this Friday again?

I'm up for Silver Star this Friday again if anyone is up for it. I had a blast on Friday! Get back to me or the blog if you're interested.

Silver Star is HAPPENIN!!!!

Sammy, Bryce and I are heading up at 5:15-5:30 (Can't leave any later than 5:30). We will be at our house if anyone wants to meet and go up with us. I believe the $5 thing starts at 3:30 though so if people want to go up earlier, then we will be at the rental shop at about 6:00 and you can meet us there.

Can't Wait!!!! There is going to be soooo much POWDER!!!!

K well see you soon, sorry I didn't blog this any sooner... have been out pickin up lovely psych. patients.

martini glasses and a backdrop...

I think you should have a whole bunch of martini glasses covering the backdrop of the blog. I can't wait until Friday night, and I'm on the mountain snowboarding.

- Sammi

Just trying some new looks for the blog....

Bryce and I want to do some cool stuff with it when we find a cool look that will work....

I bought snowpants!!!

I am ready for the mountain. The only thing to stop me is working on a Friday like I do this Friday (20th) until 5:00 pm. If Ang can't get off work at 4:00-4:30 pm, OC is having a pub night at Monita's. Monita's is where Fitness West use to be near the bar on 29th street. I want to go play in the snow, but we have a second choice if things don't work out.

Hey Everyone!

Hope all your Christmases and New Years went well. I missed you all, yet enjoyed meeting new family members and experiencing new traditions. It has been snowing a lot here since I've been back and the canal opened on Sat for skating, so I will be learning to skate at the ice house on campus before heading out to the canal.

Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year without the kisses

Hello Everyone,
How was everyone feeling yesterday?
I got up early and then went back to bed around noon. I slept until 8:00 pm because I didn't really sleep the night before. I kept waking up every half hour; I was worried I was keeping the guys up with my drunk snoring.
It was so beautiful in the morning with the sun out and the crisp air that I decided to get up and leave at 9:30 am. I was feeling great, so I got a starbucks coffee, went home ate and starting watching a movie. THEN...I started to get clammy, pasty, and not feeling well at all. The best way to get over this feeling is to sleep it off. I slept the feeling off for 8 hours.
I feel much better physically today, but I am having flashbacks of all the stupid things I did.
My New Year's resolution is to not get stupid drunk anymore.

I would like to apologize for any annoying, loud, rude, disrespectful, stupid things I may have done during the New Year's Eve party. I hope I haven't changed anyone's opinion of me (from respectful to disrespectful). If I have done something to piss off anyone, please tell me what I did. I would like the chance to apologize in person and make it up to anyone.

I remember most of the evening, but I do have some empty spots. What I remember...I had a blast! Dave, I had fun hanging out with Mel and Shannon. I found out the park behind Ang and Bryce's place has a playground set with swings (with large puddles of dirty water under them), also it's a long walk from Ang and Bryce's place to the Petro-Can with the 7-11 (wear comfortable shoes and be willing to pee in the bushes Mel), and finally 'Happy New Years!', with kisses and hugs of course, can defuse any conflict - including a group of people that believe Ike kicked in a guy's truck. Warning them to watch out for the cops a block away helped as well.

Finally...Damn you Shawn and Bryce for taking advantage of poor drunk me at the poker game (oh and everyone else at the poker game too). Congrats on a game well done. Bryce you had me with the third place prize of zero. For a second, I really thought I had won something.

I should stop typing and go out in the afternoon air. Thanks to Ang and Bryce, and Dave, Ike, and Cam for letting everyone invade their homes. It was a New Year's Eve to remember!

- Sammi

P.S: Cam, I am really sorry about coming into your room while you were in bed reading 'the book'. Thanks for tolerating me.
