be nice to me, i've had a hard day...

on april 8, friends, family, and the like celebrated kody kicking cancer. kody was my roomate in first year of university. she is an incredibly intelligent, optimistic, and truly inspiring person who i feel honoured to know. she was diagnosed with non-hodkins lymphoma in september 2005 and has been undergoing chemo and radiation treatment ever since. she has treated it as a bump in the road and nothing more. kody is free to be and we are all thankful.

happy birthday to sean on april 14!

unfortunately, yoga and tai chi are now over so it's just the regular gym for me! i know better than to sign up for stuff all summer so i'll be back to to it in september. namaste.

i have spent a significant amount of time with the new puppies. they are beautiful and i adore them. all but one are now at their new homes. mai tai is the newest addition to my mom's household:

easter weekend was spent partly at my mom's and partly at matti's parents house. liisa and jared had a couples shower at the handley's and it was very nice. great bbq, fun photo show, and of course great presents!

jonathan is in nepal right now. according to his email, he got there just as it turned into a war zone. he says he is fine and that the tourists are hoarded to the nice area of town but not before seeing a bunch of burned out cars and police machine gunning protesters with rubber bullets! yikes. we'll be glad to have him home soon!
