This weekend was a bitter sweet one. Cam and I have finally set a date for our wedding. It is October 9, 2006, just less than a year away. We have started to do serious wedding planning so it feels so real now and that is really exciting. But, in the mist of the planning, we received news that his Great-Grandmother had passed away in her sleep last night. I'm not officially part of the family yet, but she felt like my Great-Grannie too, so I was very saddened by this news. Although, I am happy that she passed peacefully and did not suffer. I am also happy that Cam and I got to spend time with her over the past 3 years and that we have some great memories of her to cherish. On another note, Cam's mother referred to me as her daughter last night on the phone, which meant a lot to me considering our rocky start. I guess I'm more part of the family than I thought. |

***Your Birthdate: September 18***
Your birthday on the 18th day of the month suggests than you are one who can work well with a group, but still remain someone who needs to maintain individual identity.
There is a humanistic or philanthropic approach to business circumstances in which you find yourself.
You may have good executive abilities, as you are very much the organizer and administrator.
You are broad-minded, tolerant and generous; a compassionate person that can inspire others with imaginative ideas.
Some of your feelings may be expressed, but even more of them are apt to be repressed.
There is a lot of drama in your personality and in the way you express yourself to others.
Oddly enough, you don't expect as much in return as you give.

After a brief phone call with Cam at work tonight, a feeling of happiness came over me. That conversation was about an old key chain of his that I kept and he was appreciative because he probably would have lost it. It reminded me that even though we have been through some hard times, how lucky we have found each other and how we could not survive without the other. |

So today I am the big 22. YAY. I chilaxed all day. I should be doing readings, but instead I'm watching The Emmy's. Hmmm...I am "conducting research about pop culture." Yeah, that's a lame attempt to excuse my laziness. I also tried out the new bong Cam bought me for my birthday. It's one that holds ice. Who was I kidding, I was never planning on doing homework tonight.
I had tres fun on Friday night celebrating my birthday, from what I can remember anyways!
Today is also the third anniversary of getting Snoopy. He is the love of my life. If St.Catharines got hit by a hurricane, I would be one of those people saving my dog. I want to post a puppy pic of him, but I can't figure out how to do that yet. |

This entry is dedicated to Adam Burke. He was a guy that I went to high school with who committed suicide a week ago. When my mom told me, I didn't know how to feel. He was in my classes, but I would not go to as far to say as he was my friend. He sat beside me in OAC history and we talked, but that was about it. Because of this, I didn't cry, but I do feel sad. The last few days I have been wondering why he decided to take his own life. He always seemed like a happy guy to me. Why was his life so bad that he didn't want to live anymore? Adam was the first person I actually knew to commit suicide, so dealing with these questions is difficult.
From previous deaths, that I have realized that life is precious. Take John Zima for example, who died from falling down the stairs. There is no telling what life has in store for you tomorrow, so live every day like it is the last. And be sure to cherish the moments you spend with the ones you love. I guess this outlook on life is why it is hard for me to comprehend why a person would end their own life.
Rest in peace Adam Burke. Even though I don't understand, I will always remember you. |
