Vance & I

First I have to say how much I love my sweetheart! I'm so grateful that God brought him into my life. I can't imagine my life without Vance! We have been together for 5 years now! ( thanks love for reminding me!) Sometimes it doesn't seem that much time has passed and then I feel like we've always been together, knowing each other all our lives. Friendship is such a blessed gift we share.


Recently we went to Russia to see our friend Sherraine and the Canadian Women's Fencing Team in St Petersburg Russia. Vance was able to get a photography press pass and take pics of the crew. The ladies competed well and as a team placed 11th in the world. Congrats on beating the Swiss for the first time ever!!!! Unfortunately all were knocked out individually pretty early on. Sherraine's friend Krisztian won the gold metal in Men's Epee Fencing! Bravo!
We were able to tour about with the gang! What a bunch of character! You can only imagine what happens when you put a bunch of Canadians, a Hungarian and an American together! There's dancing, jokes, and laughter...usually at one another!


Seeing Russia for the second time was a bit different. I had more of a chance to listen and observe the locals. Not as friendly as us Westerners for sure! I'm sure lots was lost in translation and the people aren't as cold and rigid as they appeared. St Petersburg is a gorgeous city though.

Vance has been traveling for work quite often these past couple of months and feeling the effects of all that travel! I hope that his current trip in Tunisia is going well. He always seems to feel unprepared and comes out smelling like a rose! He's so good at what he does. That includes picture taking. The photos of the fencing competition are great! He has some possible new photo adventures coming up that I'll inform you on later! :)

Ti amo Vincenzo!
