First things first, I have a new step parent. That sounds weird, doesn't it? Don't worry, Michael, I won't start asking you for money.
I am happy to say that my mom and Michael finally bit the bullet and tied the knot last Friday in Halifax. What, I wasn't invited, you say? Nah, but neither was anyone else, so I'm not (too) pissed. 
Since they didn't send me a wedding photo, I'll post the next best thing:
I'm sure they were at least that happy, since it was their wedding day and not mine - congratulations and hope to see you both soon!
I think everyone probably knows by now, but I'll mention too that Gregg got a new job! He'll be starting following his 5 week holiday, at the end of September. Still government, same building even, but a different department and now he's the boss.
(No, I do not have 5 weeks off in case you were wondering... some of us have to work
)Speaking of work, sort of, I received the excellent news yesterday that I have been approved to go to a conference in St. John's, Newfoundland, at the end of August. We had actually bought tickets to go back to TO for a visit on August 28. My favourite airline gave me no hassle whatsoever and promptly credited me for my flight and rebooked Gregg so we will now go Calgary - St. John's - Toronto - Calgary.
After I return, I will be in Calgary for a week and then heading up to Edmonton for short work trip - Gregg will still be on leave so he'll tag along for the trip. And then, the following week I'm attending a course in Vancouver and we have enough Air Miles for Gregg to come along. (Thank you to our sponsors, Safeway and Crowfoot Liquor Store). So that'll be quite the whirlwind. Gregg was just asking me where should we go for our next trip... I think I just answered that question!
In other news, not so great weather - it's quite cold and rainy and was actually hailing earlier.
Mind you, yesterday was beautiful and I worked from home on our back patio.
We did get out to the Stampede and I will post the pics eventually. Tomorrow is Gregg's work's Stampede Party so maybe there'll be some interesting photo ops...
