Alas, I Digress…

So, I totally neglected to finish chapter 1. I completed the Tri and did awfully, but the fact is that I FINISHED it and that’s what matters.

But finishing the Tri was just the first step in the beginning of my summer of awesome. See, around the same time I completed my Tri, I found out the best news ever:

Andrew has his interview for his permanent residency (aka green card) on August 14th.

See that photo on the right? That photo was taken the day after our wedding when we went with my family on a puffin/whale watching tour. That was taken August 26th, 2007.

Today is July 15th, 2009.

We have been married for almost two years. And yet, we are still living apart, long distance, as we have since we started dating in 2002.

That is soon to change! Soon, we will be able to start a life together. And what better way to do it than by taking a massive road trip to Newfoundland and beyond! (Not really, on the “beyond” part, but I am starting by going to Montréal, so that should be pretty sweet.)

But not only is this road trip going to be awesome, this summer has been awesome in general. And will continue to be awesome. And thus, I must blog about it.

So watch out summer! Here comes Rachel, and she’s ready!
