So summers pretty much over for most of us all… The leaves are already changing colours up here in Canada… The nights are starting to get a bit colder… I actually consider wearing a sweater at night… Where did the summer go to… I think back at all the crazy and awesome things that happened this summer… And I just can’t help but say that this has been the best summer of my life… So much has happened…

Let’s start with ice hockey ending and a new sport i’ve never played starting hehe… Ball Hockey… haha your probably thinking…”wow big difference, hockey is hockey”… but shit… this has kept me busy all summer, its incredibly fun and some games get pretty hardcore… It’s kept the competitiveness of hockey in my life which i need hehe… I played with my best friend Carm whos been playing for a few years and asked me to play on his team this year… Now that I’ve started I can see myself playing this for a long time… its so much fun… the only downside is it tears apart your running shoes… I went through two pairs of real expensive nike shox this summer ! booooo

As the summer went on… and the temperature started climbing… July was here and the Camguys and Camgirls of GWC and CWH were headed to Toronto for some good ol’ Canadian Fun hehehe… In Toronto, during the days we all did a bunch of photo shoots and vids, and at night the girls did all kinds of club and website promoting, while the guys got to play bodyguard hehe… I love partying with the cam guys and girls… it was such a blast in TO, and as much as Abbie dislikes the camguys and girls partying together i think its still fun… and really the girls sometimes needed us there… even though you might think that all the camguys would do is just hit on the camgirls, we were actually all looking out for each other which was real nice… Wherever ya go really, if theres a bunch of pretty girls dancing around in skimpy clothes, theres always those guys who will try to grab them and what not and I think its good that we were there to look after them… I consider all of us like a big family… I really can’t explain the feeling it is to actually meet your co-camguys and girls… but honestly I think its awesome… You get to know them on a more personal level then you ever could over a computer… its just memories you’ll never forget…

I’m gonna get a little personal now, because I have a big ol’Canadian Matty heart, and I like to share what I’m feeling…
So I’m sure as most of you all… with the coming of this trip… was the coming of a VERY special girl in my life… yeah yeah you all know who im talking about… hehe me and Nyli had been talking over GWC / CWH for like 11 months of so, we got pretty close over the net…talked on the phone a bunch.. and we got to become good friends, we both would always say we’d like to meet, and I told her that I would come visit her this summer… but then when the sites decided to take a trip to Toronto, and that she was going to be coming, we planned on her coming up a day early to spend with me and then we’d go to Toronto together the following day… Driving to the airport I was all holy shit what’s going to happen… i had butterflies doing moonwalks in my stomach hehe, but the moment I saw her standing there waiting for her bags, and she looked at me, everything came naturally… we ran up and hugged each other like we’d known each other for years and years… It was love at first sight. Every moment I shared with her was like out of a dream… The sunday at the end of the trip when she was suppose to leave, she ended up changing her flight and staying till Wednesday… We had sunday - wednesday pretty much to ourselves… and by the time she left Wednesday night we were officially a couple…even though it felt like we were from the moment she was in my arms at the airport when she first arrived…

Within a month, Nyli returned… August 10th, and spent nearly 3 weeks at my house with me… Lets just say this was the best month of both our lives… we did so much, went to stag and does *which are pre wedding parties for the bride and groom*, partied at bars, toga parties, photoshoots haha, and even a member chat… we had so much fun whether it be out partying it up, or just relaxing in our sweatpants watchin movie stogether… We’re in love… and its the best feeling i’ve ever felt… I could go on and on about how much she means to me and the amazing times we had together… because literally every second of every day was so much better when she was here…

Sadly she left, August 28th to go back home… but within 3 days of her being gone.. haha a little harmless flirting on the phone led to me booking a flight to come see her this time at her place. I spent the Labor Day weekend with her and her family, and got the official tourist guide of where she lived hehe… again another AMAZING weekend to add to this amazing summer… It just seems like every time we’re together there isnt a single thing that could go wrong… its amazing hows things can turn around and just all of a sudden be so right…

Its been a week now… since we’ve been apart… Today is Monday, September 11th 2006. In the past week… I’ve had my tonsils out… which has been probably the worst experience of my life… it hurts to just swallow, I can barely talk, it hurts to drink, and I havent ate a solid food in over a week… My pain killers make me incredibly dizzy and dopey and all I’ve been doing is laying in bed, watching movies and playing video games which are getting increasingly boring… Pretty soon it’ll be back to work, and back to the cold weather…

I miss everything about this summer so much… If i could just rewind my life I’d do it all over, but then again, now that I think about it… I have so much to look forward to in the future now… I think everything happened just the way it should have happened, and I’m very excited to see what the next few months bring to my life… that I think I’d actually pass the opportunity to relive it again… and just say “So Long Sweet Summer… It’s been one I’ll never forget…”
