After the Fire
OK I will write a little more...
We spent the night of the fire... or what remained of the morning. Together on one couch sleeping comfortably. In the morning I went to Class (I was still in Real Estate School at this time and was about 30 minutes late!) That evening we stayed at Falyn's house... and we made a few calls to hotels etc trying to find a temporary place to stay. The next night we went the meeting at the community center where they told us that it would be more than a year to fix the building so we need to find a place to stay... That night (Friday the 16th) we found a furnished 2 bedroom condo on Banister road for $695 per week as a temporary solution. On Saturday I worked for a bit at Simons, came home with a dozen roses and Mailie started to cry (Nobody had ever bought her flowers before!) Iane, Mailies mother was scheduled to come visit for a week (yes I met her mother half a week into our relationship). She took an immediate likeing to me, we got along fantastic, We had tons of fun ate great etc.
We stayed in that appartment for 2 weeks and looked for another place to rent. We found a condo in Windsor Park (by chinook) very nice 2 bedroom for $1750/month (almost 3 times what we were paying at the Albert Park appartment!) We moved in that Friday (the 30th) slept on the floor with some sheets and then on the weekend had the movers bring in our stuff (Mailies stuff I had nothing!) And we were officially living together, still thinking we were dreaming but never wanting to wake up.

Night of the Fire - 3
We got to Miles' place probably close to 4 and laid on the 2 couches. After a few minutes we could not sleep I propped my head up and we started talking. Somehow we got to talking about how women always go for the Asshole, I asked if she thought I was an Asshole and she said "I dont think so" we continued to talk by this time I think I had figured out that I had a shot (YEEHAA) and that she was not taken. We started opening up to each other, things we probably never would have said in any other circumstances. I think I started by saying how if I saw her pulling up while I was (I parked in the back and she parked in the front) then I would take my time to hope and catch her in the hallway and get to say hello. She immediately admited she did the same. Then I admited that if I saw her doing laundry I would quickly take my garbage out so that I ran into her in the hall, she did the same with me! Then SHE admited first (this is the part that really got me) if she heard someone coming down the hall she would run to her door and look out the peep hole at me!!!!!!! I used to do that too!!! but my god never in a million years would I have thought she was doing that to me, I felt like a a freak (yes I know we were stalkers) Anyways so we basically found out that we had been attracted to each other for the entire 2.5 years even when we had been seeing someone else we were always on each others minds. We always thought the other was taken or was simply too good for us (I honestly never dreamed I would get a woman as beautiful as Mailie) so to try and make a long story short... I know... way too late... I asked her "Can I kiss you"... she said "yes please" and we moved in together 2 days later!

History - Night of the Fire - 1
On May 15th 2008 at around 12:30Am I woke up with the strange sensation "Snap Crackle Protein" I got up and went to the cupboard to get a protein shake or bar or whatever. I can still hear this crackling noise. Thinking it was someone having a bonfire, I go to my balcony and go outside (I was naked) - Saw an Ambulance accross the street driving Very slowly but no fire below... ducked back inside (Again i was naked...) Waited for the Ambulance to speed up and drive away and went back out onto my balcony. Looked around for the fire and saw on my neighbor to the right (south) that her balcony had a small fire going on it... maybe a foot and a half high. So I went back inside and got dressed... pondered for a few minutes what to do and went out into the hall. The lady from nextdoor was out there too and we both looked at each other and she sais "My balcony is on fire!" I said "I know I saw it!" Then I go back inside... she goes and sets off the fire alarm.
I go inside and start thinking what I will need in case the place burns down... (NO I DID NOT THINK TO GO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!)
Grabbed my wallet, phone, watch and walked out the door again... hung around in the hallway hoping my super sexy neighbor accross the hall would come out to see what was going on. She did after a minute or so (in her cute pijamas), and I said ya there was really a fire on the balcony!. She went back inside for a sec and then we went and banged on a few doors, then went downstairs. We stayed together and she was cold (or at least ACTED cold) and I put my arm around her. She clung to me and we watched for a while as the fire spread. The fire trucks got there and I tried to tell them where the fire started etc... they insisted on bringing the hose all the way through the appartment, up 3 flights of stairs and down the hall... by that time the fire had spread quite a ways. I went to try and get some water out of my car but they would not let me by. Mailie was chatting with some other people, I came back and put my arm around her again!... Eventually they put out the fire... Brought a bus up for us to chill in for a while as they "secured" the building. We sat together on the bus and chatted a bit. ... This whole time she is stressing out and worried and all this and I am simply exstatic that I am holding onto this beautiful woman, thinking nothing but possitive things and have a HUGE smile on my face, talking about how the fire is only destroying physical possesions etc.
Mailie did not have a place to stay so I invited her to stay at my friend Miles house which was just a few minutes away. She agreed and we continued to wait unti we could get into the appartment to see the damage and see if we could recover any of our things before leaving.
We finally got into the appartment at 3ish or something like that (Mailie pointed out that we were holding hands at this point, I am sure she will comment). My wall was burn in my bedroom and roof had collapsed onto my bed, Mailies appartment was flooded by otherwise OK. We took a look then went to my car to go to Miles...

History - Before Fire
Background on Mailie and I and how we met...
This is going to be long so I will split it up.
We both lived in Albert Park appartments, accross the hall from each other for 2 and a Half years.
We said Hi to each other occasionally when we ran into each other in the hall or downstairs etc.
We chatted twice when the power went out, once for maybe 10 minutes when my buddy Miles was visiting. We went down the hall to Pat & Jims to get a lighter to light the candles Mailie had (Neither of us smoked and had no bbq lighter)
Other than that not much interaction. I heard her talking French in her appartment and always thought that would be a great way to introduce myself properly.

Pregnancy - Week 26 (I think)
This is to introduce Peanut Ashby and all baby's who have at one point been referred to as "Looking like a Peanut"
I will post the ultrasound picture that initialized this nickname and I am sure lots of parents will relate.
