Beautiful British Columbia

Its been awhile since either of us have posted, so i thought i should catch everyone up on what's been going on in the world of the Davises.

In November I filled in for the Secretary of Blythwood Baptist Church in Toronto for 3 weeks. When i was otherwise occupied, Mac played secretary. (Needless to say my father had great fun playing pranks on Mac when he was playing secretary.) We were very thankful for the provision of this temp job so close to Christmas!

On Nov. 21 we headed stateside to celebrate Thanksgiving with Mac's family in Virginia Beach. I have to say, as a Canadian married, being married to an American makes Thanksgiving so much less stressful. We can spend Thanksgiving Day with BOTH families and there's no conflict over the issue! So this year we had two Thanksgivings, both of them being celebrated in unusually warm weather!

We attempted to take part in some of the "Black Friday" sales (the US equivalent to Boxing Day) by going to Best Buy at 5am (when the store opened), but when we realized there was absolutely NO parking within a mile of the store and the line=up to get in was out the building around the side and just way too ridiculously long, we went home and went back to bed.

En route back up to Toronto, we spent Sunday night with my great aunt in Lancaster, PA. It was great to see her, and we hope to spend a few days with my PA cousins in January.

We arrived back in Toronto on th 26th and then flew west to visit friends in BC on the 28th. It's been great to be out here, to visit old hang outs and see friends. I spent 2 full days at ACTS visiting former profs and fellow-students. It was absolutely wonderful and it felt like coming home. It makes me want to move back here and enroll in classes again, though I'm sure those thoughts of lunacy will soon cure themselves. Tonight we are going to a pot luck with my ACTS friends, tomorrow night Mac and I will be going to a favourite pub in Vancouver with Regent friends and on Saturday morning (dec 8), Jen and I will be heading to the airport to fly back to ontario. Mac and Tim will start driving East on the 13th and are expected back in Ontario on the 19th! (We're praying for NO snow!)
