10 Weeks to Go - Meet Evan Mitchell

I get to follow Meara in this blog event. Sweet. I have no problem with that. What can I tell you about me? My name is Evan Mitchell. My mom, Lydia, was best friends with Meara's mom when they were younger. I guess they still are now. They just haven't seen each other in a while. Anyway, that's not really about me. To start, I play hockey. I'm good at it, but I have no intentions of turning it into a career. Don't tell my teammates, they won't understand.

I go to King's College in Halifax where I'm studying marine biology. I guess living by the ocean my whole life, I've picked up a love for all things aquatic. When I graduate, I plan to make a difference. For as much as we know about the earth, we still learn new things every day. That's more than true about the oceans, too. There is still so much to explore, and I'm going to do it. Anyway, I'm rambling.

I love animals, too. My parents try to reign me in, after all, they own a bed and breakfast, which doesn't exactly jive with furry critters running around. As a kid, I owned a couple of hamsters and a guinea pig. After one of the little guys got out and went missing for a few weeks, my mom decided larger animals just might be better. Now I have two dogs, Ebb and Flow. They're Springer Spaniels. You'll have no problem finding them. In fact, they'll probably find you first.

Never Forgotten is Meara's story, but I'm glad to be a part of it. The moment I met her I knew she was something special. She's amazing. I think you're going to agree with me, too.
