#Been #Busy !

There is a reason I haven’t posted an update in a few months.  #BeenBusy!  Let me rattle off the list ;)  I was voted in as Strata President for our business complex again, a necessary evil I suppose..  Amber, the boys and I drove to Vancouver for a weekend visit..  Lot’s of driving for a very short stay but we had an amazing time as a family!  

We put on another concert, this time for Sarbjit Cheema and his team of singers and performers called “Mega Vaisakhi Mela 2016”.  It was a great show that we managed to sell out.  

Adderley celebrated his 3rd Birthday, he reminds me of myself more and more every day.  I think that Coltrane might look a bit more like me but Adderley definitely acts more like me. 

We were invited to Edmonton to join the Premier and Provincial Finance Minister in a round table discussion to discuss the budget, which was an amazing opportunity. 

We are putting on another radiation for the Canadian RED CROSS in support of the rebuilding efforts in Fort McMurray tomorrow. This Saturday is the Calgary Vaisakhi celebration, which is always a lot of work but a great way to get involved in the community.  I think that this year will mark the 22nd time that I’ve attended a Vaisakhi event, but who’s counting??!​

I am still in Toastmasters and totally loving it!  I just completely the first speech manual called Competent Communicator which was 10 speeches.  I feel like I fluffed my 10th speech but was happy to get through it, particularly during such a busy period in my life.  Looking forward to moving into my next set of speech manuals and trying to improve my public speaking abilities.
​
We put on another Multicultural IDOL event, this time featuring Russian, Serbian and Croatian singers.  It was another great event and we discovered some amazing singers from each language category.  I look forward to working with this throughout the year.

Finally and most importantly, Amber and I are celebrating 6 years together as of today!  Amazing how time flies and just how much one can accomplish in such a small amount of time.  Amber’s an amazing woman and I’m such a lucky guy.
