CANADA DAY SEMI-LONG WEEKEND

I say it's semi long cause Michelle and I both work Monday but we get the Tuesday off. That being said, it was still a great weekend (Check out the pics HERE!!!). Pool Party BBQ with Rob & Caz (and Ali, Jason, Andrea & the kids), Stoop BBQ with our new Neighbours, Chad & Laura and the big news, we bought a new car!!!

After hours of research, car dealership visits, a few test drives and lots of discussion, we have chosen a HONDA FIT for three key reasons: 1) Better on Gas 2) Tons of trunk/backseat space 3) Smaller payments than we are currently making. The Honda Fit answers all of these and will become the "one car" for our "one car family" once the Mini Lease is done in August.

Also, I've been keeping monthly sets of our Pics on Flickr and now that we are passing the halfway mark of 2008, I thought you'd like to revisit the last six months of pics! Enjoy!

ONE CAR FAMILY

Corsiworld is down to one car as Michelle has sold her big red truck. It was a tough decision but with the Mini Lease ending in six weeks and the idea of getting a more reasonable vehicle for the both of us and the dogs, the need for the truck was diminishing. It was fun while it lasted but now, car shopping is going to turn up a notch! Booya!

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Not too much going on at Corsiworld but there are a few things to note.

As a lot of you know, I am a huge HULK fan and one of my most anticipated movies of the summer has come out, THE INCREDIBLE HULK which I loved. You can read my review HERE!!!

CROSSFIT is going well, I've lost 7 lbs. and am still enjoying it. I have one more private session on Monday and then I start classes with the big kids which is both exciting and scary. My body is definitely improving but it's not going down without a fight, my knees are sore, my arms and legs ache and my "core" feels like it's been through the WRINGER but overall I can tell I am getting harder, better, faster, stronger.

Michelle has been traveling a lot for work visiting such epic locales as Port Alice and Fort St. John! Who knows where the world of Environmental Science will take her next!!!

CARMINE has joined LAVERNE at Daycare and is doing fantastic, he has absolutely no fear and loves meeting all manner of people and dog, big or small.

For Father's Day we visited both pops, BOB in the afternoon for a drink on the patio and dinner with MARIO in the evening. Good to see the Dad's smile.

Finally, I've added two more reviews to my Restaurant Blog VANCOUVER EATS, a positive one for SAVORY COAST and a negative one for NICK'S SPAGHETTI HOUSE.

That's it for now... carry on!

CLINT'S STAG

Four days of debauchery... drinking, eating, gambling and laughing in the classic Sin City, LAS VEGAS. Brimstone, Jason, Eric, Mark, Andy, Gambler, Jeff, Dodson, Ryan, Janus, Sean, Jeff, Mike and myself took part in an Epic stag weekend for our boy CLINT. Some highlights: a kick ass dinner at MESA GRILL, VIP Lounge at PURE, the MGM POOL and personally, winning $337 on STAR WARS SLOTS. Sleep was at a minimum but the good times were at a maximum. Hope you had a great time Clint, we sure did!
