The rally I am going to in a week and half is shaping up to be the best rally ever. Because this year the ESPN X-Games have added rally to their lineup and whoever wins this rally gets to go, most of North Americas top drivers found on this side of the continent are attending. The will get to race against 11 other drivers including Colin Mcrae (yes the one in the video game and WRC driver). So last year where there to maybe 4-5 top drivers this year there are 10+!!! This is going to be awesome. Here's a little clip I made from video we took the last 2 years.

Soccer
Soccer season is upon us. Over the winter I have been playing indoor soccer (Futsal) and the season is now over.
The people that organized that league have started an outdoor one for the summer, and both Anne and I have joined.
It took at bit of coercion to get Anne to agree to play, but I am sure she will enjoy it once we start. We are on different teams to make looking after Maya bit easier.
Playing will take place on a full field with two 40-minute halves and full Fifa rules except of slide tackling. We start this Sunday and I can't wait.
Last Saturday I played for the local 30+ team as they were short on players and had a great time. I got an inordinate amount of ball time and made a good accounting of myself. I am quite confident I will do well in with the Saugeen league once it starts. So much fun!

Job Interview in NC
Sorry for not posting in a while, we suck.
Anyway, we had a good time checking out the Wilson Medical Center, but have decided not to take the job. There were a lot of pros and cons to weigh, but in the end we decided that it wasn't worth an international move and a number of unknowns regarding Annes job. We are just too Canadian at heart I suppose.
I was probably a once in a lifetime experience though and we quite enjoyed it.

Pennsylvania Rally
So June 3rd is that rally in PA that i go to. Who wants to come this year? There is a really good entry list so far and competition will be heated.
It's about a 5 hour drive from Toronto and we leave Friday some time and come back Sunday. I have already reserved a camp site for the nights of the 2nd and 3rd.
Who wants to come? Anyone? Seeing cars go very fast in the pitch black woods with blinding lights is an amazing experience.

Fighting and packing
Does this happen to other couples?
When you pack or are getting ready to go on a trip, short or long, do you fight while getting ready for it? Becasue we seem to bicker the whole time we are packing and getting ready, well more than usual anyway.
But as soon as we get going, everything is fine again.
Its just kinda weird.
Anyway we leave tomorrow, and Maya is looking forward to a sleepover at Grammy's. I don't htink she relizes its for two nights though.
Everything is ready for us at Wilson, we will see how we like the hospital and what the area has to ofter. Although, I gotta say, I have been less than impressed with their handling of the travel arrangements. I have had to poke and prod for every bit of information so far. Seriously, if I hadn't phoned yesterday we would have no idea where we were staying or anything. But we going with an open mind and will see if its something the Lord wants us to do.
Keep us in your prayers.
