Team Burke

Did we leave the country or something??

yes. we just got back from vacation in rainy and cold Nova Scotia. Steve and Cari's wedding was beautiful in spite of the rain, and it was awesome to get home and see everyone again. Taylor gets cuter every time I see him. I will upload pictures soon. it's nice to be warm again.

It's Supposed to be Spring!!

Yesterday's high -- 99 °F / 37 °C. Yes, that's right, we broke a record for May 22nd. Nasty.

My Review of "Star Wars Episode 3"

I really wanted to like this movie, so maybe I had too high expectations. Let's just say there's a lot of action, then a lot of talking, then a little action, than WAY too much talking, then more action, more talking, ending with some terrible acting, and the end credits. Lucas has an incredible ability to put amazing special effects in a movie and make excellent actors look like terrible actors. Best part of this movie is Yoda. Worst part is the script. 2 out of 5.

1st Night Back to Rock Climbing

Since I've been taking night classes my weekday nights have been very busy. Now that school is over Andrew and I can start going to the climbing gym again. Last night we went and discovered we are both way out of practice. I had a few panic attack at the top of the wall but managed to control them much better by the end of the night. a little sore but feeling great this morning.

George's big scare

Sunday night George wasn't acting like himself. he didn't want to eat and he looked scared. during the night he got up several times and vomited. While cleaning up after him around 5:00 am I noticed he was hiding under the bed. I coaxed him out and noticed his face and neck were swollen to twice their normal size! I rushed him to the vet and they kept him there all day. turns out he was bitten by either a spider or an ant and had an allergic reaction. the vet had to give him 2 anti-histimine shots and the swelling still wasn't going down so he gave him a cortizone shot and finally he could breathe properly again. I got to take him home looking nothing like himself around 4:30. Luckily he's back to normal this morning with a bump near his left eye where he was bit and some pills to take. bugs here are nasty!
