All is right in the world, I am so happy for my family right now. You've already been reading about all the great stuff I've been up to lately but here's what the rest of the boys (and girl) have been up to:

Parents: I'm really glad to see that my mom and dad are able to take more time for themselves lately. (They're saying WHAT? right now) But the way dad has been able to quit call at the hospital and very soon they'll both be able to take more time off. They have a cabin on the go in Montana that they can invest their free time in and make it exactly how they want. (Don't worry, soon I'll be chipping in too) I just know that without all the screaming 5 and 10 year olds running around now they'll be doing more.

Jeff: I talked to Jeff last night at his new place in Calgary. He has a great place, in a great neighbourhood. There is a huge park across the street and it's not far from Lyndsay Park, just south of where I lived last year. They have a foosball table and two dart boards downstairs, they being Jeff and his cool roommates. His job also sounds amazing, testing building sites with Thurber. This is the first time where I've realized that Jeff knows a bunch that I don't. I mean, up until now, he's had the exact same schooling as me, just a year behind. But now that he's in civil he's learning all kinds of cool stuff. Nice work bro! Huge pride!

Terry: I was so surprised when I found out Terry was taking his NLS course in Calgary so that he could lifeguard this summer. He passed on his first try unlike someone else and has already had a staff meeting at the pool (which opens May long weekend). It's just so cool that Terry is going to be working at the same place I did, with the same bosses and most of the same lifeguards. I had so much fun in my four years that I'm super excited now just thinking of what Terry is going to be doing.

Peter: Now I don't think Peter has a cool summer job yet or a cool place to live. (I mean the guy lives with his parents still) But all the same Peter is growing up super fast and I think this is going to be a big summer for him. He can drive now (well with a parent anyway) and it's about time that he grew 10 or 12 inches. He is going to be the best snowboarder and wakeboarder out of the family I'm sure because he is totally unafraid of anything, he's had a head start with 3 older bros to watch and learn from, and now the rest of us aren't always around to hog boarding time he's going to get in 4 times the practice that we did. I hope I can still take this kid when I come home in the summer. I bet by next summer I'll be getting my butt kicked by my youngest and tallest brother Stinky Pete. Of course, by then I'll be mature enough not to provoke him. I'm also praying that his memory fades in his old age of 15.

Yup, I love the family. Can't wait to see you in June for Terry's graduation.
