The Wasp!

So Bonnie, Buckley and I were sitting on the deck this afternoon and this wasp comes by and out of the corner of my eye I see him lift off a dog treat I had sitting on the table reserved for Zoey. It was small but still twice the size of the crazy strong wasp. So I got out the video camera hoping to catch him in the act again. I didn't catch him fly away again, but I got a cool closeup of him going at this piece of freeze dried dog treat! I think Cheap Trick's 'Mighty Wings' helps out the drama as well.

The Fence if Complete!!

So we've got a new bigger and better backyard now!! The guys came and put up the fence on tuesday. It took Bonnie 9 loads of hedges to the dump but we cleared the yard up and it looks fantastic!!

The result is below and it makes our yard so huge and open and bright, plus now we can let Zoey run around!! YAY!.

Fence for Zoey!!

So this past weekend Bonnie and I with the help of our friend Chris Krahn (and our neighbor with the van) dismantled our crazy hedge fence. We've wanted a wood panel fence for a long time and getting Zoey has pushed us to get it done! (Thanks Zoey)

My neighbor actually hooked up some rope to his van and we pulled out some of the side ones roots and all. After that I had to dig out all the other roots by hand...at least 25 of them. Not going to lie, that sucked.

Before I got a hold of the chainsaw!


During while I had the chainsaw...


After I finished it off with a chainsaw!!


The other side of the yard before...


...after.

The fence should be completed tomorrow by a company we hired and then Zoey should be able to have the run of the yard!

All my work was not unappreciated though, Zoey gave me some cuddles after I almost fell asleep on her bed.

Thanks for sharing Zoey.

Zoey!!

So after we relaxed and chilled out at home for a day or so we got a puppy!! We talked during our honeymoon about getting a dog and when we got home we were searching through the papers and online and came across and add that said Boxadore (Boxer/Lab) pups for sale so we phoned and ended up going to meet her that night! We fell in love with her and when we asked the family when we could take her home they said "Tonight if you want." so we have a puppy now!

Her name is Zoey and she's so cute and awesome!

Home!

We made it home!

After 40 hours of travel we arrived at Vancouver Airport at 2:30 in the afternoon yesterday.

We took: One shuttle - a ferry - a train - a bus - another train - a taxi - a hotel (3 hours sleep) - another taxi - a plane (3 hours) - another plane 9.5 hours) - and finally another plane (1hour) during which I got about 6 hours sleep total (Bonnie slept like a baby on the plane, I...not so much)

Anyhow, we spent our last night having a great dinner and just enjoying the last of time in Mykonos. The next day, begrudgingly, we got up had a good breakfast and headed out for our epic journey home.

...goodbye hotel lobby...


...goodbye ridiculously over sized cruise ships...


...goodbye journey home Greek fastfood...


...goodbye Greek Heineken...


...goodbye honeymoon.

...but HELLO FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

We missed you all and look forward to seeing everyone again! It was an amazing holiday and really great experience and we wished it never ended, but if it didn't, it wouldn't be a holiday I guess.

Love Jason and Bonnie!
