Proud Heart.

I hate to play Polly Anna but gosh darn it, sometimes the world is too full of happy things to ignore. I feel like good things are happening to all of the people I love at the moment and it makes me wanna shooout. So here goes. Congratulations to...

...my dear friends James and Betta on the birth of their first son, Graeme. He's a handsome lil' devil and I can't wait to meet him when I get home next week...

...to my brother on becoming "The Godfather." No, not a mafia head, but to the lovely Leah Venier. Now, I happen to be Godmother to Leah's sister Sidney...so Alex, let's not let sibling rivalry get in the way of our (god)parenting duties...

...to my friends Christopher and Tea, Annie, and Catalina, who have all (separately) taken the big plunge and bought new homes this month! Christopher and Tea are surrounded by boxes as we speak, Annie is still, I think, without a couch (correct me if I'm wrong darling but I believe you prioritised a PVR over furniture), and Catalina moves into the W to be my neighbour this weekend. Here's to many rooftop hot tub rendezvous (in a completely neighbourly way of course)...

...to my dear Pearson roomie Nicole whose debut CD, Nyko Maca and Playground was just released...you've come along way from when we used to sing at the top of our lungs in Calgary House Room 6.

...to my first year buddy Darragh for submitting his PhD 4 days ago. Now get back to what you do best, D, which is blogging in your cool, snarky yet endearing Irish way that makes me laugh.

...and to the rest of you loved ones (and you know who you are) who are embarking on new secret adventures, both near and far, that I don't dare blog about for fear of stealing your thunder.

Gold stars for everyone. Thanks for letting me be a part of your successes-it makes me very
proud to be your cheerleader.
