National Champs Baby!!!

Just got back from CIS Volleyball Championships in Kingston.  I am happy to announce that the Trinity Western Spartans repeated as gold medalists .  Was an amazing weekend of volleyball and was capped off with a thrilling fourth set victory by the Spartans.  Queens did an excellent job as the hosts and the fans were treated to some thrilling volleyball action.

It was awesome to see my bro Ryan over the weekend.  We do not get to see each other too often so I truly enjoyed spending some quality time with him.  So proud of his work at Trinity and with Volleyball Canada.  He knows more about volleyball techniques and systems than I ever will.

While in Kingston, we probably went to the worst breakfast joint ever.  If you are ever visiting Kingston, do not go to Morrisons in the downtown core.  Let me just say that it was not appetizing.

The weekend was important for Jodi and I as well.  We do not get a way too often and was great to re-connect with each other.  We even managed to shop together for a few hours without incident. ( I do not normally do well at shopping) We had wonderful dinner at Lone Star down by the water.  I highly recommend it and suggest trying the fajitas.  The service was amazing.

We had a chance to go for some walks down by the water and have a few saunas at the hotel.  I think it is important for couples to get a way a few times a year together.  It helps break the monotony of every day life and brings some of the romance back in to a relationship.  Jodi even missed skating for the first time to stay for the whole weekend which I really appreciate.

I had a pretty good day today.  I had a solid work out although my hamstring is killing me from squats.  I have some other prospects for the upcoming landscaping season which is always nice.  I am not sure what I want to do in April but, am looking forward to getting back to work.  I have to make some phone calls and make some decisions in the next few weeks.  I took Ollie for a good play at the arena and finished sorting some paper work.

I had the downzies for a bit but, got over them in short order today.  My mind seems to be more at peace these days and am cautiously optimistic about where I am at mentally.

Hope you are having a marvelous Monday.  Take care.  Shawn
