Three Things

Three things going on with each of us at the moment...

E

1. E is working on his Bronze Medallion in swimming and First Aid. It is scheduled for 2.5 hours on Monday afternoon and he was not keen about going to the first one this week. We walked home together afterwards and he had lots to say about what he learned, so it sounds like he will enjoy it after all.  Once he's done this he can do Bronze Cross with his friends in the spring.  Good skills to acquire!

2. We have also signed E up for another weekly session of guitar so he can work on both acoustic and electric.  He is quick to pick up songs but needs more lesson time to practice.

3. E had hidden two geocaches recently and he loves getting notifications when someone finds them. This is a pretty wholesome activity.

Q

1. This is Q's first year on the real ski race team. Last year was more of an intro level and their only races were at our home hill and really just for fun. This year Q will have a couple of races with real results.  He's very excited.  

2. We also found a soccer league that he can join for the winter.  Like E, he wasn't happy about a Monday evening timeslot, but he had a great time!

3. Q is also continuing with his off-season baseball training. Dave ordered a baseball bat for him for Christmas and it may actually show up soon!! (Thanks Canada Post!)

Dave

1. The biggest news is that Dave started a new job on Monday and he needs to go into an office downtown three days a week. Dave has worked from home since 2008, so this is a big change for him! 

2. He also got new glasses. The ones he had were broken so it was time and the new ones look great! Bonus, he picked them out before the end of 2024 so we could put them through last year's work benefits!

3. Dave has only one golf trip planned for 2025 (so far!), Utah in May.  

Me

1. I'm thisclose to booking a plane ticket to Paris for the spring with some friends.  It will just be a few days but will be worth it no matter how long we are there.  I love planning a trip!

2. My cousin gave me a Stanley style cup for Christmas.  I like it but Dave thinks I look ridiculous because it's so big! We are those memes now!

3.  I also got some Sephora gift cards for Christmas that are burning a hole in my pocket.  I have some Ordinary products that I want to get.
