Here we are in Jasper, visiting my aunt and uncle and cousins here. The young one is my cousin's kid, Hannah - she is adorable. We've had a beautiful day, Canyon Crawling, and enjoying the beautiful sites of Jasper Alberta.
sorry ariana! it would have been great to see you before you went off galivanting around the world! It was a struggle, but finally Jasper won over Calgary as Leigh had never been here before. Hope all the planning and packing is going really well Thinking of you...
Ah well, such is life. Everything is going swimmingly... I still can't believe I'm finally taking this trip that I have wanted to take my whole life. I don't think it's going to sink in until I'm on the plane!! (If then!)

The campaign is called product [red] Companies are supporting this effort by donating a portion of their proceeds towards it. If anything this campaign has done lots to at least raise awareness. What a great way to make a difference in the world! Half Way There At the most recent conference that my husband Leigh and I attended there was a presentation made with regards to the CLEAN WATER ISSUES of Africa. Many people are dying and are incredibly sick because of lack of clean water - with some solutions being as simple as educating Africans on "how to" dig clean wells.
