God Answers Prayers!

Ok, for most of you reading this the idea of God answering prayer is not a leap of faith, but listen to this. I was just sitting here at home trying to kill sometime before Nyles and I would go to Buffalo to pick up the girls. I was thinking/praying that they would come home sooner when the phone rang and it was Laura telling me that they are now on an earlier flight and they are boarding right now and I better hurry up and get in the car. Corny? Maybe, but I'm still give props to the big guy on this one! Thanks big dude!

Too much to write about

OK, I have a lot to write about but not a lot of time. So here is a quick little thing about what has happen in my life over the past couple of weeks and hopefully I can elaborate later.

The girls have gone to Ireland and should be returning tonight with a medal for Emily's hard shoe. Can't wait until they get here and I can feel them in my arms again, they really ache for them. I'm sure they have some great stories for us.

Nyles and I went to my mom's for a few days and hung out. We chilled, played darts and ate way too much, good times! Nyles is actually a really good darts player and I'm not just saying that to make Nyles feel good. He stands on a chair so he is at the same height as the board and he's good.

A few fun filled days at the Great Wolf Lodge. We spent about six hours a day in the water park for three days. I think I'm still water logged! Nyles and I had a great time there and really grew our relationship with each other. I will always remember our times jumping on the beds together and having finger rocket wars in our room.

Marshal and I went geocaching together and what a blast it was. We found a cache on the Bruce trail along forty mile creek, however it did not look that promising in the beginning. We took the wrong path in the beginning and hiked almost all the way up the escarpment. Eventually we found it and I think that Marshal is hooked on geocaching now. Thanks for the hunt Marsh!

Bachelors

Well our girls are gone. They left bright and early yesterday morning with a few small glitches. Lets see, we got up at 6 so that we could be on the road for 7 and at Buffalo airport for 8. (I love that airport, so simple, easy and cheap) Everything went smooth at check in with both bags under weight, Laura was worried that the bags were going to be too heavy. Said our good byes and the girls waited around to find out that their flight had been cancelled. Something about the plane in Boston could not make it to Buffalo, technical difficulties or something. So a small detour through New York and then Boston and everything would be alright, except they lost their luggage. I guess the bags did not make it to the flight going to New york and instead they just sent them on the next flight to Boston from Buffalo. My last text message from Laura said they are safe and in Ireland now.
So what did two handsome bachelors do during their first day, go on a shopping spree of course. We started at one of my favourite American stores, Target. We picked up a pair of jeans and a cool T for Nyles. From there we went to the galleria and hit Dicks Sporting Goods. Nyles picked a pair of sweet Vans there. Next, JC Penny where Nyles picked up another pair of jeans and some badly needed socks for both of us. (Has anyone ever figured where all the socks go to in this world. I have dozens of single, odd socks) After Nyles' shopping was done I hit the shoe stores and scored my self a pair of Puma's, Adidas' and Asics'. All this shopping had these men hungry so off to our favourite American restaurant Cracker Barrel for some home style cooking. With our bellies full, we filled up the car and headed for home.
Day one of bachelorhood completed. Other plans for our ten days include, ice fishing and snow shoeing at my mom's and Great Wolf Lodge for a few days.
