April 30, sigh, monday, again.

So its monday morning. and i'm really tired. i was so warm and cozy in my bed this morning. i just didn't want to get up, but i had to. oh well. another week that i'm hopeing with go by fast. *knock on wood*. i didn't get as much done on the weekend as i would liked to. Kim and i didn't go get raspberries, she didn't call so i assume that she got busy, thats okay. i didn't get my little area where i wanted them fixed anyways. the womans show was awesome. a much better hall then last year. lots of free little goodies. i would say other things but i got a mothers day gift and i dont want to say what it is because i think she reads these things. and after we did end up going to Craig and Bevs house for dinner, it was nice. we sat out on the porch from 2:00 till 7:00. i got a little burned on my face, i guess i'll have to start wearing sun block all the time now. : P kyle got burned on his arms, but it faded onto a really dark tan, damm him and his dark hair. haha. but oh well. i think we'll be going to canadian tire tonight, we need to get some stuff to stick down a hole that we have under our front step where there are wasps. Vance our new neibour warned us about. and i'm glab that he did. and we know we need to do it soon, because there waking up now. so we need to nip it in the bud. but anyways.

if everything goes well with my grandpa's MRI's today and tomorrow they're going to come up on the weekend for brooks' thing. that'll be awesome. it'll br really nice to see both of them again, so *cross fingers* that everything goes okay.

i dont have anything else to say. bye byee for now.

Brooks....getting....baptized....

So my mom called me last night, and told me that her husband, Brooks, has made the choice to get baptized. i'm very happy for him. its good that he has made that choice, even though i dont follow it. but good for him anyways. its going to happen may 5th in Lethbridge. i think my sister is going to go, so i'll get a ride with her, but if not i'm sure i can get a ride with one of my aunts or cousins. but i'm pretty positive that heather will be going. it will be nice to have all the family together. Kyle doesn't want to go. and i'm fine with that, he can make his own choices. it bothers me a little. but its what he wants and i'm not going to bug him about it. but thats all i have to say. bye byee for now.

new position????????

so i out in my resume to go for the payroll job that we have open(because the last lady quit after like 1 week.). last week i told the payroll lady(jackie) that if she needed any help that i would help her however i could, because payroll is so busy, and only having one person doesn't help. and jackie said that i should put in my resume and i said that i would and she said that she would talk to the accounting manager and yeah. this morning she said for me to send my resume on up, so i did. i havn't heard anything yet, *fingers crossed*. so i guess we'll see. the thing is, is that i dont have any experence with that, but i am really good on computers, and i learn quick. so i really hope that some one sends me a e-mail or something saying anything really about it. like even if its a no i would still like to know, so i'm not always like, whats going on and always wondering. but anyways. i dont know if i'll hear anything this week though. its a payweek and there really busy. but anyways. thats it for now.

tuesday....... when it should be friday!

Hello all. i am at work. and i want to go home and go to bed. i'm really tired. i had a good sleep and all that, but i just want to sleep more. i remember when i use to go to bed at like 1am or 2am and get up at noon or 1pm. good times those were. haha. anyways.

i talked to my old neighbor last night for like almost 45mins. it was really nice to talk to her again. we were planning on going to the calgary womans show on saturday and i had called her to make sure that we were still on, and we are. i'm excited to go, we went to the spring one together last year and it was nice, just walking around talking. last year they had some people that sold garden plants, and flowers and all that kind of stuff. so i'm going to see about getting some flowers and vegies to plant from there, as long as there not to much money. but how lucky am i that i get paid the day before we are going? haha. so i'll talk some cash with me and i'll have my bank card too. so yeah. i'm happy to be going still, and with Bev too. Kyle is going to hang out with Craig(Bev's husband, our other old neighbor) and his son Austin. he's looking foward to that too, because he hasn't seen them in a while either, i think our house warming party was the last time we saw them and that was before christmas. so its been a while.

but anyways. i dont know that else to type about so yeah. bye byee for now.

.....

So I got some yard work done. Not as much as I would have liked too, but a good amount. I got the back yard raked, and the front ‘garden’ cleaned out. And I started to get the back ‘garden’ cleaned out and I decided that I’m going to move where I’m going to plant my raspberries. I’m going to put them along the other fence because when we fix the one I don’t want them to get trampled. So I’m going to build up and garden for them. I’ll build it up so that Duke doesn’t get into them. I can use the 4x4’s from the old one to put around the new one. And yeah. I’ll take pictures today when I get home from work.

My body is really sore from doing the yard work, a lot of having to bend and twist. But it’s worth it. And a really good thing is that the neighbors said that we could borrow their lawn stuff. Like shovels and stuff like that. So that’s awesome. They are really nice people. And the love Duke, so that’s good too.

We moved the bedroom around, put the bed right up on the wall. It looks a lot bigger now, you can actually see the floor, and not just little bits around the bed. My dad is going to take this next week off, so hopefully we can get the rest of the hallway finished, and maybe start the front entry. But he’s decided that he’s going to sell his house, and he wants to get some stuff done to his house before he does ours. So I don’t know. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I’m sure that I’ll talk to him either today or tomorrow and she what’s happening.

I don’t really know what else to talk about, I’m sure I’ll think of something later. So yeah, bye byee for now.

meh.............

so its friday, the 13th. oooOOOOoOoOoOoooo... haha, not really. and i'm at work. and i dont have anything to do.
but i have decided that we are going to go to canadian tire after we're done work so i can get some stuff to work on the yard. i need to get some grass seeds. because there are some bare patches that i want to be filled in, or maybe some 'turf builder' some one at my work told me that it works pretty good. and i want to get a really good rake(?) to get up all the dead grass. because the green stuff is starting to come through. i do really like doing yard work, i think i have since i was a kid. i would always want to mow the grass and all that stuff. and now that i have my own yard to take care of its even better. and one of those garden claws, i think thats what their called, to get up all the weeds that are growing in the "garden". i'm excited.
we need to find someone that will let me dig up some of their rasberries so i can have some in my garden, and people tell me that they are alot of work, and i know that. i use to take care of the ones at my moms old house, picking everyother day, pulling out the dead ones, triming them every season.
all this yard work talk is making me want to go and go some. haha. but what really sucks is that we have big pine trees all by our house, and grass cant/wont grow by them. so i think i'm going to make a big planters box to go by the one front fence so i have have flowers and what not there, instead of little bits of grass and dirt. because thats just no fun.
oh my gosh i'm so excited for yard work now. that sounds really funny, but when you live somewhere for like 8 years when you cant do anything you want to go it really bad.
but anyways. i will give a update on how everything goes at the start of next week. maybe pictures too. before and after ones. yeah, thats a good idea. anyways. bye byee for now.

weekend

.....So the eye doctors was kindof a bust. he said that the reason that my eyes get so weird when i am on the computer at work is just because i'm on it for so long. and that i need to get some good eye drops. so i did. i guess there helping. but he said that i'm neer sighted(so i cant see far away), and not far sighted. so i dont need glasses for when i read or when i'm on the computer. just for if i start driving. so yeah. it was a waste of $74.00, but oh well, i'll get $50 back, so i dont really care. and my benifits at work kicked in. i like it, you can make a claim on-line and have your money back in 24-48 hours. which is really handy, but only for eye stuff and the dentist, not p.scrips. but of well. i dont have any re-fills left on that anyways, oops! so i better get to the doctors some time soon, either that or start buying baby stuff. hahaha. just joking. i'll go to the doctors sometime this week and get that fixed. but anyways.

the wedding was nice(chris'), a little bit boaring, but it was still nice. i want ours to be nice like how theirs was, but with a bar. haha, we need that bar. i'm sure it would be different if kyle's family was mormon and my dads side was too, but there not. we like to drink. so we gotta give the people what they want. haha, and what i want. haha. there so young, Chris and his new wife, Charity. he's only 19, and shes 18. but they made a cute couple just the same.
but anyways. i better get back to work. bye byee for now.

wedding / job issues

So a little bit ago kyle and i decided that we were going to get married this year. and i was really excited. but now he wants to wait till next year because now he wants to have a cermony. which i'm fine with, i just wish he would have told me sooner, so i wouldn't have gotten so excited about it and hadent started planning things. but thats fine. its not like we'er going anywhere. so yeah. i was a little mad also that he didn't tell his parents that we had chosen to do it this year, but i think that he did that because he didn't want to do it this year. so whatever.
any who..............
its the long weeekend, i have 6 working hours left in my day. and then i get to go to the eye doctor. my benifits finally kicked in, so now i can go to the eye doctor, and the dentist(i dont think i will though), and i can get my perscriptions. FINALLY! haha. but anyways. kyle has i think 2 or 3 job interviews for today, and he's going to meet me at the mall where my doctors is. he did start a new job on monday, but he cant do it. they thought that he had his drivers licence, but he doesn't, so he cant do what he need to. because you need to have your drivers to drive this special fork-lift. so yeah. it might be a little rough(money wise) for a while, untill he starts working again. and he really does need to, i cant support us on my wage alone. but we are looking. i think i have faxed his resume to like 50 different places, and a bunch of them call, but its all for like $10 - 14/hr and he wont go lower then $15 because thats what we need. so anyways. i better be getting back to work. talk to you all later.

Floors

We finally put in our new floors! they look really good. and my whole body hurts! we got just the living room done. we weren't sure if we would have enough to do the hall way too so we're going to wait to see if we can get a few more boxes. and if not my dad thinks that it might work, just as long as there aren't too many bad boards in the boxes. i got alot of slivers, kyle cut his finger pretty deep on a staple that was sticking out, so did my dad.
when we pulled the carpet out friday night it was sick. the people that lived there befor us had a dog, and you can clearly see that they never cleaned up after it. that was the sickest smell ever, and it had gone through the carpet and into the underlay. like to do you know who a cheeta has spots every where, well thats what the underlay looked like in some spots! sick!!!!! and there were so many staples, who needs to use that many! well those dumb people that put it in thats who. but anyways, i'm just so glad that its in and done. next will be the rest of the hall, front entry/stairs(with the tile that my dad gave us on the weekend), and then the kitchen, floor, back splash and all. dad thinks that after we do the front entry and kitchen that i should quit my job and be a tile setter, haha, i dont think so. so anyways. i'll put a picture of how it looks on here so every one can see how awesome it is.
