Nothing interesting ……
Well hello all,
I just thought I should write a little family update because no one else in the Striker Family seems to be doing so. My mom reads the site but hasn’t started posting or commenting so everyone bug her about that,
Hmmm so I guess we have a little bit of new news
Jill - Has finally booked her trip to Europe she is leaving at the end of April just a couple days before I’m due so here’s hoping for a early baby arrival. She will be gone for two months and has booked a 27 day Contiki tour which is a under 35yrs bus trip. She is super excited and will be visiting tons of different places. For the second month she has no set in stone plans so if anyone has some suggestions you should e-mail her. We are all so happy that she has finally committed to doing this since she has been talking about it for a looong time! Other than that she is just working, and saving up and having a good time with her friends.
Mark - Has moved to Edmonton (for those of you who didn’t know) He left with Thomas at the end of December and moved into Thomas’s house with a bunch of guys. As far as we know he had no job yet …. we actually don’t even know if he has been handing out resumes. He has so much money saved up my parents are a little bit worried that he could spend a year out there sitting in his room at his computer …. hehehe that totally sounds like Mark. But I have faith that he will get bored and have to get out of the house and find a job, eventually 
It’s his birthday on the 31st so it will be kind of sad to not celebrate with him but we all think him getting out of Agassiz and spreading his wings is awesome!!!
Jack - Is doing well, if you can ever get him to talk. We all are amazed that he has such good friends in high school because he doesn’t talk to us (Not even to his sisters!!) The friends he has must learn how to have pretty good one-sided conversations. But he is dong good and still playing lots of hockey and basketball - my parents & Jack are travelling so much for his games Seattle one weekend Whistler the next its lots of driving but they seems to enjoy it
Mom & Dad - Are doing very well Dad has lots of work but always has time for hockey. He just got a new Saug (sp) hunting knife for Christmas and is showing everyone who will look. He is super excited about it and it is pretty cool. Mom also got new/used couches for upstairs (for free of couse) and then they gave their 50++ year old bright orange retro couches to the thrift store. Just for curiosities sake mom went in to check out the price they were asking. We were all shock and laughed super hard went she told us the Agassiz Thrift store was asking $100.00 for our orange couches (the most expensive thing in there) I think she is still getting a kick out of that.
The Jarvis’s - I think we are the least interesting of the bunch just working lots, Lance has been trying to get out snowboarding at least once a week to recover from his ski hill withdrawl. For at least the last 10 years he has been working on one hill or another and was able to go all the time. I am getting pretty big and have 3 months left to go!!! Avi is also changing daily and I think she is understanding more about the new baby now. We got to babysit my friends 4 month old last week and Avi was in Heaven, bringing him toys, dancing for him, and giving him lots of big suffocating hugs! I think she will be a great big sister!
But I should probably go Aviendha is begging for my attention and to go play outside with her new slide!
