On October 17th, 1980, our world became a little more loveable with the coming of Mark Joshua. At the ripe age of 27 with years of travel and experiences under his belt, 2 half-marathons, a pretty little wife, what could have really made Mark more complete, more happy this birthday? Well for this ex-exercise-hater turned running nerd, it was a Garmin Forerunner 250 GPS running watch.
To truly understand the diversity and loveability of Mark Josh, also note the other two highly desired gifts: a pedicure set and lemon & lime juicers.

Marko's Birthday
The Event.
To celebrate the occassion, we went for a walk along the Fraser River, looked for hawks (to no avail), dined at the Bombay restuarant in Mission, went to see The Kingdom, and enjoyed each others company. To quote Mark himself regarding his birthday, "It was really good; it was my favorite; best gifts ever." Wow.
Ah Marriage...
I arrived home after a long day of birthday present hunting to this beautiful gourmet dish of grille chiz con soupe tomatoe...
As Tom Waits said:
So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold
Don't trade it for silver
Don't trade it for gold
I have all of life's treasures
And they are fine and they are good
They remind me that houses
Are just made of wood
What makes a house grand
Ain't the roof or the doors
If there's love in a house
It's a palace for sure
Without love...
It ain't nothin but a house
A house where nobody lives
Farewell to Ma & Pa Bergman
After a lovely weekend together, it was time to say farewell! to the folks. Before going to the airport, we went up Cyprus mountain for a little hike on this beautiful BC day.

Thanksgiving Weekend
We were very excited to have the Bergman folks out for the weekend. As with most Bergman family events we were busy and we laughed a lot! Friday was spent with the Kuhn kids, Silke & Tristan doing a little mini-golfing, a little eating, etc. Saturday we went to White Rock (see pics below). 'Twas rainy and cold, too much so for Ruthie & Amy. But the company was good... We spent the evening with Kristin & Andrew Bracewell (that's thier little beauty below, Ms.Jayda). After some Greek we enjoyed cider and pumpking pie- delish. Today (Sunday, that is) we went to Fresh Wind for church and then out for lunch again (good to have the folks here...) and much to the boys delight did some back roads exploring to the Fraser River (again too cold for the ladies, we stayed in the car). For dinner Ria (Kuhn) made us the full Thanksgiving meal. We've just arrived home here a little tired, very full, and very satisfied. A great Thanksgiving, considering our distance from home. Tomorrow we take off to Vancouver to say good-bye to ma & pa and then back to school for us on Tuesday. Hope y'all had a great long weekend!
