Two Weddings, Father's Day, and into the field
In brief for now:
I had a very nice weekend. I got together with Maryanne and Chris Reed for a little while on Friday, and then my coach Ted in the evening.
Saturday, I watched the Beat Beethoven race, which Ted won. I then traveled with my former training partner Marion Craig out to the wedding of Greg Wilson and Jennifer Neiszner, at the Neiszner family farm near Weyburn. I was best man, and it was really an honour to be there. Greg and I first got to know each other competing at track, and then became training partners when he moved to Regina for school, and have stayed friends ever since. They are moving out to Ottawa, and will be sorely missed here. It was a very casual, laidback affair. The service lasted fifteen minutes, but was beautifully delivered by Greg's former coach, Jorin Green, who is now a professor of theology. The pictures were very nice, the photographer was great!
The wedding wrapped up quite early, such that I was able to get back to Regina around 9:00 p.m., and was able to attend the reception for my friends Meg Lipskey and Karl Persson. They were surprised to see me, and it was good to see so many of my other friends there.
Today, I attended church at the Regina Fellowship Assembly, and then went to Meg and Karl's Hawaiian themed gift opening and reception for close friends and family. It was great fun, although I had to duck out a little early so that I could spend part of Father's Day with my dad. I then returned to Saskatoon, and tomorrow will be heading into the field. I get a break from July 8-14th, and will otherwise be in the north until around the end of August.
So, my friends, please keep in touch with me by e-mail or over MSN/Skype. I'll hope to see some of you on my break, and everyone have a great summer!
