So I’ve been pretty slack with the postings!!! 

Since last I wrote, I got my UK visa (took all of a couple days), we rented our condo to a lovely girl named Meighan (at a scream of a price but at least i know all my stuff will be looked after properly), I got myself enrolled in 3 recruiting companies so hopefully they will start to give me some work, I booked us on a Contiki tour for July/August AND I ran 10 km!  Definitely the latter is what I am most proud of.  I spent quite a long time training, and did pretty well, especially since I had been pretty sick with a cold and cough the two weeks before.  

I was very lucky to have my friend Teresa run with me, as well as my friend Adam.  They definitely helped keep me motivated, even as my legs decided I was done about 8 km in!  You can see our picture at the finish line above, with our medals (which, by the way have a typo on them - instead of saying Yonge downtown they say Yonge downtoEn.  Someone is going down for that one surely!).  Sorry about the quality of the photos - I stole them off facebook :) I will definitely treasure that medal - signifies a great accomplishment.  Now just wondering if i should consider doing the London 10km which is happening on July 11th.

After the run, we went back to Teresa and Marty’s house for some food and, more importantly, some mimosas :)  We also got to watch a shoot for a tv show which is going to be premiering on the USA network this fall called Covert Affairs.  It stars Piper Perabo (above), who some of you may remember from the movie Coyote Ugly, as a training CIA agent.  We got to wash them crash cars, shoot guns - the whole thing.  They were pretty amused by us up on the balcony having our drinks.  We spoke to a number of set people but I think the guys playing the Swiss police were pretty jealous of the guys’ beers :)

Anyway, so now on to packing the house.  Bryce thinks that a friend of his may be able to put us up in a room of his house just outside of London for a couple weeks while we find a flat before on trip - so that’s good news!  We’re getting closer and closer to the day!!!  So, until then.. i gotta get packin!
