J&J's Wedding Invitation

Jenn and Jon also wanted to 'be green'. So they sent out electronic wedding invitations. Emails were sent to friends and family that included the following image. (It was an Irish wedding.)

JennD Got A Great Gift

Mid-Week Friend Update - A Wednesday feature that provides a small update on what is happening with the incredible people that I have in my life.

Jon surprised JennD this Valentine's ... with a puppy!

Her name is Brinn, which in Irish means noble defender. It looks like she is a Black Lab but I don't know for sure, Jon may have gotten her from a breeder or adopted her. I do know that she is 11 weeks old, keeping them up all night, and that it was love at first sight.  Aren't they the cutest little family!

Newfoundland Facts - Population

Going on a little trip to see Newfoundland from April 7th to 11th. It will be my final province, after this I have visited all 10 in Canada. JennB and I are going to be staying with Jerrica and her family. Looking forward to seeing the sites on the west side of The Rock!!

Newfoundland and Labrador have a population of 373,872 (as of April 1, 2007) which is 1.5% of Canada's total population and gives the province a population density of 1.36 /km squared. In Canada, only P.E.I. and the territories have less people. More than half the population identify their ethnocultural ancestry as Canadian, while two-fifths identify English ancestry, and one fifth identify as having Irish ancestry. St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador's capital city, obviously has the most people, with a population of 181,113 in 2006. However, Corner Brook which is 30km away from Jerrica's hometown of Pasadena, is the second largest urban area in the province with 26,623 people. Pasidenia is really small, 3,180 people.
