4 days until June!

Hi everyone!

It is so cool to see how everyone is getting to know each other as we get closer and closer to September and your arrival. Many of you know me a little already... since I was the one who had the privilege to do your interview! Which you all did great by the way. But I thought I would tell you a little more about myself...

I grew up in Ontario, right outside of Ottawa. I left home at 17 to go to BC for Bible College. I took a camp ministry/outdoor rec degree. I have been serving in camp ministry since I was 16 and love it! My first Qwanoes experience was in 1998, when I was a camp counselor, boat driver, lifeguard and events crew games guy. Best summer ever to this day! I recently spent 10 years down in Oregon, got married to my beautiful wife Gretta, I have three awesome and very different kids - Kaia 5, Titus 3, Koen 2. I am a Canadian citizen, but I also have my American citizenship. Phew... okay I'm done.

Jay, your kids have the raddest names!

Jay said...

Thanks Tanner!

Jon said...

Yeah I have to agree with Tanner I had to read it twice cause when I saw the names I was enthralled and forgot the rest

Marissa said...

haha I'm on the same boat as Jon and Tanner. Also, yay for dual citizenship!!

Jay said...

ha ha, glad the names of my kids enthralled you... we were going for the unique side of things, but hopefully not too unique :)

My wife will be applying for her Canadian citizenship in a couple years and then the whole family will be dual. Should come in handy I'm sure!

I believe that everyone should get their own name so you get awesome points for giving your kids unique names.
