Well the fires around have seem to die down quite a bit. The water bombs are safely parked at the airport awaiting any other 'flair ups'. It was pretty bad here for a few weeks. I woke up one morning and could even see across the street because of all the smoke. Evacuation notice has been removed!

I started packing the house...i know i know its super early still however i'm hoping time will fly by and POOF off we go. I've got 3 boxes packed and marked!


11 days till were out of here on holidays! I so excited to see western Canada. Starting to get a little nervous about white water rafting but i think its going to be so much fun that i'm not gonna have the time to be worried about anything. We managed to get couple hotels for a decent price.

I miss home so much..
I miss everyone..
I miss my Nonna's cooking...
I miss everything...

I hope when we move and have a place of our own that it'll feel more like a 'home'

190 days

190 more days till we get to start a life in a new place! Boy oh boy I cannot wait. I'm not sure if its the actual 'place' or the 'people' in the place. Things change, I just didn't think that they would change this fast. I cannot wait to get a job that I can do something at. Have some resposibillity, help people, do stuff. I understand a paycheque is a paycheque however there is so much more to it then just that.

Just FYI this blog post it going to end up being a mental explosion of emotion and ranting.

Ok so I completly understand in 'Fairness' in the work place but when does it become just a shyt-show. I don't do well when things are done in convince for the employer and nothing for the employee. If your going to throw 'rules' and scheduals into the mix make it fair for everyone not just for people who have apperently EARNED it. Last time i checked being preggo doesn't mean you earned SHYT!

Also being of another 'race' also intitles you to EARNING it. What happened to people who go outta there way to do things to make work a better place?! Seems like no one gives a crap anymore. Working late, not bit*hing about things that should be done a better way, extra little things here and there......THERE IS NO POINT. (Yes i'm bitter)

I tired of stupidity!!! *sigh*

Sorry that you read this...I just needed a spot to rant and get it all out.

16 days till our Road trip
Apx 34 days till i'm home!! (i hope)
190 days till we're outta here!

Enough...

So i'm pretty sure i'm sick of this place. Apx. 30 weeks left! *sigh The count down is officially Starting. Who knows it may be sooner. Places in the running are as follows:

Weyburn, SK -----Apx. 6.5 hours from Winnipeg, Mb
Shellbrook, SK---- Apx. 10 hrs from Winnipeg, Mb
Melfort, SK Apx. -----8-9 hrs from Winnipeg, Mb
Fort Qu' Appelle ----5.5-6hrs from Winnipeg, Mb

Still looking into these places....nothing set in stone as of now.

forever

Forever and Ever....

Hello all,

It's been quite awhile since I wrote, my fault haven't really made anytime. We go through life always thinking that eaither there isn't enough hours in a day or can the time go by any faster. Do we ever stop and take in the moment? This week has been all about that. Taking in a moment, enjoying it, remembering it. Time goes on and so does life. I miss being a child, an innocent human being just starving for more. Now an adult, taking on new responsibilities, dealing with life day by day.

Our Wedding was AMAZING! Couldn't have asked for more. Jon and I did all of our pictures first (Carrie Ekosky Photography), the best advice we took! We did 'first look' pictures at Assiboine park. The walk towards Jon was the longest walk of my life. Emotions that I can not descibe ran through me from head to toe. When I got to him it was like the world around us disappered. After all the pictures we headed to the church. Walking down the isle I was over joyed and couldn't wait to get to him again. It was all over so fast!! The reception looked amazing! The decor turned out even more beautiful then I imagined it.

Bed time for mee!
ta ta for now!

25?

Only 25 more days left! I can't believe a year has past...the day is almost here.....Bring it cuz I'm ready!!!

1 MORE DAY!

Finally booked our flights home! 1 more full day, *sigh*..
PAVED ROADS, STARBUCKS, WALMART HERE I COME!!!!!!

Pum-a-what?

So i've discovered a new yummy fruit!! It's a Pummelo! It looks like a grapefruit on steroids but tastes sweeter. I think this may almost be my fav. new fruit.
You peel it pretty much the same as an orange however you don't eat the skin stuff, only the pulp. The peel is super thick which can make it a little harder to peel. Just pop it into the fridge, it's easier to peel when its cold. Here's a pic!!!

Project numero uno!

I'm currently making a baby blanket. I LOVE crocheting!! I can't really follow any pattern yet SO I just make my own!
Here's a sneek peek ;-)!

*sigh* I keep telling myself that I will write everyday but it never ends up that way.
Hmm....what is new...We're moving in less then 10 months! I know it doesn't seem that close but to me thats all I have to hold on to right now!

I found this YUMMY looking cheesecake recipe!!

Click HERE for the recipe!

hello house!

All moved in, Kinda!!! I currently have a kitchen, living room and half a bedroom....i do not have the other 2 spare rooms...yet. That is my mission for the next couple days. I work the early shift all week which is kinda nice, yeah i don't get to sleep in but i have allllllllll afternoon to unpack.

97 days everyone! Time is flying by, everyone kept saying that days will go faster and faster as time gets closer, and boy oh boy were they right. Not much left to do....i think....

The new job is going great...so far. This week will be my first full week of work and i'm kinda excited! Wish me luck peeps!

Adventures in Stoon

Day 1 in good ol' Saskatoon! Today was such a good day, got up at 7am dropped puppy and Jon off at the airport, went to Starbucks for coffee to read my book. I headed over to the mall where I found the best deals ever! Made my way over to my cuzins and went out for lunch, then went to walmart. I was making my way over to the hotel when I decided to go renew my license. Right beside SGI was JYSK I went in just to walk around and to kill some time. They had pretty much everything on sale!!! I bought one of those oil diffusers (rasberry), a really nice creamy colored table cloth, a smaller black table cloth and a string panel. THEN i finally made my way over to the hotel to check in.
I was expecting the hotel room to be just like every other hotel...your typical striped bed cover.....hard bed...mushy pillows...blah blah blah. Well I walked into my room and it is amazing! Big pillow top mattress, fluffy duvet, marshmallow pillows, mini fridge, tv, cool bathroom! *sigh* relaxation!
I was debating going down to eat some supper earlier and I wasn't sure how to charge it to the room (its a business trip). So I asked the front desk how I go about doing it and she says, 'well you may come down to the restaurant and just tell the person serving you that you would like to charge it to your room OR just order room service!!!!!!!!!!! I'll give you one guess what I did!?!?!?! You got it, ordered room service! It was sooooooo yummy, stirfry with rice and some yummy ginger sauce.
Tomorrow I start training 10am wish me luck!

Nerves

I got a new job! I start training on Sat. Jon is flying up on friday morning and I get to stay in Stoon for training. I've never stayed in a hotel by myself. Sounds kinda stupied but i'm not looking forward in having breakfast and supper alone in a restaurant. However I will probably get a lot of reading in. I started reading twilight, never thought i would be into it but I like them!
Well that's my blurb for the day!
Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

If someone is still reading...leave a comment everynow and again will ya!

Time...

So much time has already gone by. Christmas this year was different, yet relaxing. My dad came up for a visit. It was nice to have him up for x-mas made it feel more like home. Dinner was very yummy and the people were so much fun! We had turkey, potatos, veggies, cranberry sauce, buns, meatballs, salad, and many more goodies! The holidays seemed to fly by!

Dad and I came back to Winnipeg together just before New years! I headed out to the cabin for New years. Watched some hockey, ate some good food and enjoyed everyones company!

The 2 weeks to follow were, lets just say not at all what I came home for. Understanding that a lot has changed since Thanksgiving. However I did not come home to get tied up in foolish childish games. I'm not saying I know it all because I don't but RESPECT is a pretty simple word to follow. Kinda sad to come home and not be able to have the entire family in one room without someone saying something wrong or someone taking something the wrong way. Did we all loose the meaning of family? Hopefully one day, when its not to late everyone will realize just how much we mean to eachother.

Wedding invites are all printed! Started putting them all together, I can honestly say that i love them! Took some fonts, sizing, twisting and turning but we managed to come up with an awesome design! Stay tuned!
We also got a couple more things booked for the big day, i'm starting to get excited!

9 days left in the city then back to reality, life.

hm...soo

hm...well...DAY 1 Blog never really went anywhere :-(.
But i can report that i have been working out...noticing a difference...hmm..nope. but i know it takes time.
Thats all for now.

Day 1

November 25, 2009

I figured if I start writing about my challenge it will motivate me to keep on track and maybe inspire some of you to jump on the fitness train.

We finally got our elliptical we bought awhile ago. Today was my first day using it, I started with 20 mins. Its crazy how out of shape I really am. I never ‘loved’ my body but I never hated it. It was just one of those things, I was ‘comfortable’. I’m not going to call this my new years resolution, its just something simply that im doing for myself. To get fit, feel good, and love myself. I want to wake up and look in the mirros and say that I love myself again. I'm going to start with 20min-25mins a day for the next week, from there I will increase to 30mins and we will see where this road leads us! Wish me luck, i'm gonna need it!
