2012 has been an interesting year...Leslie got a new job and is now working for BC Transplant as an Organ Donation Coordinator and Organ Donation Specialist.
Cheryl continues to do well in her police career and we got engaged. Wedding will be next August 2013. More info please read below.
Cheryl and I met in 1997 in Bellingham, Washington. We kept in touch over the year via the internet plus flying back and forth. Before we both knew it I moved all the way across the country to a new country no less in march 1998 and been here ever since. I, meaning Leslie grew up in New York on Long Island where her family still remains except my brother.
Went to College in upstate NY and grad school back on Long Island where I got my Masters Degree in Social Work. In 1999 I started working as an Intensive Care Unit Social Worker at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, BC and loved my job after all those years.
Cheryl grew up in the lower mainland of BC and many of her family members are here as well. Beautiful place to grow up and go to school. Throughout Cheryl's teenage years and adulthood she worked for her mother's family business. However, at the ripe old age of 35 she decided to embark upon a career in law enforcement which she has been enjoying for over 5 years. Cheryl has found a passion within the Police force working with kids in schools.
We have been together as partner's for 15 years and after Cheryl graduated Depot (Police Training) we both got motorcycles and our licenses. I grew up on bikes and Cheryl always wanted to learn to ride. Learning was easy for Cheryl and getting back on a bike for me just made sense. Cheryl thinks I am obsessed with bikes but to be honest once she is on the road I can't stop her.
Cheryl loves video games, I love wild life, Cheryl dreams about white sandy tropical beaches, I dream about seeing the polar bears in Hudson Bay, Manitoba.
Opposites attract and we both share a passion for adventure motorcycle touring. We learned this after buying our first 2010 BMW F650GS bikes. We travel well together making sure we are both taking care of ourselves. Cheryl is the brains, mechanic, navigator and packer, I am the organizer/planner.
Cheryl is the quiet one, I am the loud New Yorker. Cheryl loves video games, I love live web cams featuring Bald Eagles, Falcons, osprey's and Owls. In the end it seems to work.
Wow, How long have you been doing this blog? That is amazing…
Since last August 2011.
Only 200 more views to go…pretty cool we think. Fun too!
Wow, that is amazing. I’ve been doing my blog since March and I can’t see how I would ever get that many views. What’s your secret?
I have no idea Texas!
No idea!
What ever it is it must be a perfect storm… That is truly amazing… I know I’ve said that before but I can’t describe it any other way… I hope I can figure it all out…
one thing that does come to mind is that I post about what I LOVE and that is not just about bikes. I also post on Google + and use StumpleUpon. Maybe try them too! StumbleUpon gets us a lot of traffic.
Thanks for the info… I’ve been using goosle+ and StumbleUpon since you posted this and I’m starting to get some views from them. StumbleUpon has been picking up but nowhere the views you get. Had you been using StumbleUpon for sometime before you started your blog? I’m hoping that as I use them more I will get even more views. Thanks for your help… Ivan
when we started this blog we had no idea about all the other media sites out there. I did not even start keeping stats until about 6 months after the blog started because I did not know about widgets. LOL StumbleUpon we added after the new year 2012. it’s a learning curve and I am still learning how to get this BLOG out there.
Congrats girls !
thanks!
