December

December…

Winter I guess is finally here. We had a pretty good windstorm the other night, it didn’t bring very much snow with it. But it blew so hard and flung the screen door open I thought it was broken, but it was okay.

We got all our Christmas lights and decorations put up. And I’m glad that we did it last week when it was “nice” out. I’ve wrapped all the parents and other family members gifts, and I think today I will attempt to wrap Kyle’s.

We are going to hold off on any more renovations to the house till the spring, the only thing that is left is to finish the stairs and front entry. Well the only ‘big’ thing. And we need to use a wet tile saw, but wont when it’s so cold and snowing out side. Unless my dad tells us of something we can use inside to cut the tile we are out of luck till spring.

We finally chose a gym to join, on a 1 year contract too. So no backing out this time, I think we will be more diligent with going this time around, first off we have a car so it is easier to get there and home, and in order for us to have a baby my doctor said that I need to loose weight, because weight loss will give your body a 'kick' in the reproductive area (her words). So I’m excited, we went last night and we are going tonight too. I want to loose 15lbs by Christmas, and I’m not drinking pop anymore either, well maybe 1 can every 2 weeks. But water with dinner every night, I already drink a lot of water, but not so much with food, so I hope this will help.

We got our Christmas plans all straitened out. We will go to Lethbridge in the morning on the 24th, spend the day with my mom, Brooks(mom’s husband) and my Grandma who is up from Orem Utah. And any other family members that happen to pop by. Then I think we will go to my Aunt Denise’s house in the evening for my dad’s side of the family’s Christmas get together. Then back to Calgary for Christmas morning with Kyle’s parents, then we will go home, have our Christmas with just the 2 of us, plus the dog and cat. Then back to the in-laws for Dinner. I think I’m going to see if my Dad, his girlfriend, Heather and Beau will come over for early Christmas dinner and gift opening on the 20th, or21st And if that doesn’t work then we would have to do the 27th. I’ll have to call him and see what there plans are then we can decide. Christmas was always pretty crazy, having to decide where everyone goes for those days, and wanting to be with all the different sides of the family. But we are going to try and see everyone this year and see how that works out.

I’ve decided that instead of buying people that I work with gifts I’m going to bake cookies and put them in cute little Christmas looking containers and just give those out. Its better then spending a bunch of money on people and I think that people like it better because you took the time to put everything together. I hope that people will like that.
I don’t have anything else to report on. TTYL…

November all ready...

I cant believe that its November already. in under a week it will be Kyle's 24th Birthday! YAY. then soon Christmas will come, the new year, then my 22 Birthday. This year has gone by a lot faster then i thought it would, so much has happened.

We have decided that we aren't going to sell our house just yet, the market has really dropped, so we'll wait till it starts to pick up. we have a "friend of a friend" that is a realtor and she said that the market should pick back up in 1-2years, we are okay with waiting, the house still needs a lot of work done to it.

Its starting to get cold out there again, we had our first snow fall last week. but it warmed up so most of it is gone. but in the mornings i still have to scrap my windows, which i dont mind, its better then taking the bus.

we still havn't heard back from the fertility clinic about our appointment. and havn't heard anything about Kyle's test results either. he did it more then 2 weeks ago and the doctor hasn't called or anything to let us know about it. its very frustrating because we want to find out if its just me with the problems, or both. we are still trying all the time ;) so who knows what will happen. i will call the doctor again today and leave another msg. and maybe she will get back to me. i just want to know if we are getting our referal or not and then to know when the appointment is would be fantastic. i have the number to the clinic so i figured that i could just call and see if i can make a appointment my self. but i dont know if they let you do that. but anyways. i will call and we will see whats going on with it.
For more about my condition(mainly the family members that ask me about it) you can check it out at this website(or just google PCOS)

but i better be getting back to work. i'm sure i'll have more to talk about in the next little bit. TTYL.

My fantastic "New" Car!!!!

And of course when i say "new" i mean a 2002, but only owned by one person before me. so anyways. Yes indeed i have a new car. it is a 2002 Saturn SC1 3Dr. its while and oh so cute. It has new front tires, and is really in need of new rear ones thats forsure. just had a oil change 2 weeks ago. this guy that lives across the street from us seems to think that these cars have coolent issues. and that i should let him take a look at it. i think that he is a mechanic so i would have no problem letting him take a look. but we will just have to wait and see. but oh the freedom of having a car. being able to drive to work, not have to take the bus everywhere, being able to go where ever and whenever we want, not having to call and see if Kyle's mom will take us to get groceries. I LOVE IT!!!!! we already made a sightly big trip. we drove it to Airdrie to go to the walmart super center, they have really good prices on chicken, so we got 3 packs of 6, at around $10 each. it was awesome.

hopfully we will be going to the gym on friday(*crosses*fingers*) and getting our memberships all done. i'm really getting sick and tired of looking the way that i do. i want to get as close to weighing 170lbs as i can. if less then fantastic. Kyle is feeling that way too, be wants to be 180-190lbs. we changed our diet, we eat alot better then we use to but still nothing, but i guess not losing anything is better then gaining, right?? sure, why not.

this weekend is going to be "busy" i guess our friend Andrew is going to put in our new front window. so last weekend we bought new "brick mouldings" for the windows, they are alot thicker and wider then the other ones, so we are going to need to run them threw the table saw and try and trim them. so that will be interesting. we will have to wait and see.

oh well. but i'm still really happy about the car. and thats all i have to write about for now. so ttyl. bye byee for now.

A new month...

...with a list of things to do.

I haven't typed anything is a while and I have quite a bit of stuff to talk about....

This past Saturday (Aug 30th) I took my road test to get my drivers license! I did really good (or so the guy said) except for the fact that I didn't slow down and yield at an uncontrolled intersection, so I failed. I wasn't very happy. But I will go again this Saturday and try another time. I’ll go to the same place so I kind of know the route that they take (the guy said it was a planed out route that they always use, so I will know what I’m doing). And hopefully I will pass because I really want to get my license and then we can get a car, because its starting to get cold and we don’t want to have to be taking the bus in the winter anymore. So that will be the first little bit of Saturday.

Later on in that day (noon-ish) we will be expecting a guy to come in from a furnace cleaning company to, you guessed it, clean our furnace (and ducts too). Its $139.00 for the furnace, 12 vents, and the dryer duct too. My mom said that is a good price. Its starting to get cold and we want to be able to turn it on with-out smelling that nasty smell that comes from the ducts from the last people that owned the house, as well as the gross smoking smell. And it will be nice to turn them on and not have dust everywhere, we're going to have the furnace inspected too. but that will be next week. so I guess I’m pretty excited about that.

a few weeks ago I canned some peaches with my cousin Kim and her mom, my aunt Nancy, and now this weekend(we hope if they are ripe enough) we are going to can some pears, which reminds me I need to go get some more big jars, I better write that down, done. anyways... I’m really looking forward to that because maybe then we won’t run out of the peaches so fast. I tend to take a jar(just a .5L) to work everyday and have that for breakfast. we only have like 4 little(.5L) jar left and like 9 of the big jars(1L) left. I was thinking that I could go out and buy some more peaches just from a store or a roadside stand, but I don’t know. they are going to run out fast and once they're gone that'll be it for the year. so I think I’ll do that. my mom said that she would bring her canning stuff down when they come down on the 12th. so I think I will plan that for then...

I cleaned the upstairs part of my house really good this weekend too. by our fireplace we have a little kind-of shelf thing that I have pictures and stuff like that on, and under it we just store junk in it, and I cleaned that out, and all around the fireplace. I cleaned off all the coffee tables and the movie cabinet, in the kitchen I have a chine hutch type thing and I cleaned out the bottom of that, and re-organized it, as well as all the kitchen and kitchen table. I got 4 bags of garbage out of there. I would have done more but it was like 1am and Kyle wanted to go to bed. I think I will try and do the computer room tonight, either before or after big brother is on. it really needs it, we still have boxes from wedding gifts in there. we really need to get to the dump but I don’t think that will happen any time soon, maybe I should call up some garbage-hauling people and see what they charge. there sure is a lot. I’ll just have to wait and see, geeze, so much to do with so little time. and while I am writing this blog I have a little post-it next to my key board where I’m writing down a list of things I want to get done before the snow hits. including the other stuff I wanted to do this weekend(the back splash in the kitchen). oh my goodness. I kind of hope that they pears aren't ripe so I can try and get some of this done. lol. I have to call my dad and see when he would be able to help put in the back splash and the front entry tile.

and on top of all that we have decided that we want to move next year, and buy a actual house, not just a du-plex like the one that we are in now, unless its one of those really nice re-done ones with the extra sound buffers in the walls so we cant hear what the people next door are doing. we decided that if everything is done by December 31st we are going to put it on the market, first for a few months on welist. and if that doesn't work we will just get a realtor. but it all depends on if everything gets done. which I’m hoping it does.

but I don’t have much else to day. at least not that I can think of right now. so I better get back to work. maybe I’ll type out my list of things to do, now that I have a list that is written on 3 different post-its. so anyways. TTYL

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday, he will be 55. Heather and I are going to take him out to dinner tonight, and then we are going to take him to see a movie on Sunday. We're going to see the X-files movie! I'm really excited to see it. When we were kids we would always watch that show with our dad, I really liked that show. So I’m glad that we're going to see it. We would go tonight but its Friday night and we figured that the theaters will be busy, and Heather has to give her friend’s dog some meds at 8:00 and she can’t miss it. So we will go on Sunday, I’m thinking an earlier show, but it doesn't really matter to me.

We get our new washer and dryer today! I’m very excited about that as well. They are really nice Kenmore, I think, front loader washer and dryer set. Dark blue. Super nice. And really big. I’m glad that I will finally be able to wash our blankets and not worry about only 1/2 of it getting washed because it wont all fit in there. I think I will end up doing a lot of laundry tonight. And we get our new fridge too. That one might be a little harder, because we were told that you should let it sit and "settle" for like 5 hours before you put any food or anything like that in it. And you have to let it get cold and all that. But it might be an issue because we don’t have any coolers to put anything in. we do have a little "bar" fridge thought, so I guess that could work. If it actually works. lol. we will have to wait and see. so now we will have replaced all the appliances in the house. but we decided that when we move if the new house and they don’t have new washer and dryers like our new ones that we will be taking them with us. I think it’s a good plan.

tomorrow I will be going over to my cousin Kim's house and we are going to can some peaches, as long as they are ripe enough. we were going to go to my aunt Nancy's house(Kim's mom) but I guess she can’t do them on her stove because it’s a smooth top. so that’s really good that we don’t have to go to Airdrie to do it, I can just walk like 5 houses down to get to Kim's. Which will be good because Kyle wasn't going to be able to help because we are also getting a new sheet of glass put in the window(the one pane(?) is cracked) and one of us has to be at the house, and because its Kyle’s friend Andrew that is doing it we figured that he should be the one that stays home. but that’s okay now, because once they are done Kyle can come over and help with the canning. so that all worked out.

I cant think of anything else to talk about, so I better be getting back to work. bye byee for now.

Where has the year gone???

Its the end of July, the year is more then 1/2 gone. there are 156 days left in the year, 150 days till christmas, and 177 days till my next birthday, it doesn't seem very far away. i just think its crazy how fast the time goes by, it may not seem like it(except on weekends), but it sure does. On thursday we are leaving for our anual trip to BC to Kyle's grandma's house. we will be there till tuesday(driving back then) and then i am back to work on thursday, i'm taking wednesday off because we are going to do down town and get all the name changes and all that done, along with getting our passports done too, we figured that if we want to go to mexico in november or december we should have those in order. so thats the plan for now...

we are going to buy a new fridge when we get back too. the one we have now makes alot of weird noises, and i'm pretty sure its going to break down any minute. its not very good at keeping things in the door cold either. and stuff in the freezer is either frozen solid, or kind of melting. so its about time. and i would like everything in my kitchen to match, so far everything is white, except for the fridge. another bigger purchas i would like to make is a new tub for the upstairs, its very old and just plain gross. its a nasty yellow(off white) color, and has the whole built in tub surround thing going on that i just dont like, it makes it seem much smaller then it really is. so a nice new tub and some new tile to go all around up to the celling would be really nice. i'm getting all these ideas now that i am talking about them that i have started to write stuff down that i want to do. and i know that we can do these things because(and i know this isn't the best thing to do but oh well) we took out a line of credit so we can fix up the house and sell it! i'm excited because i think we are going to try and get everything done by next spring and put it up. so here's hopeing(*cross fingers*).

i dont really have much else to say, i only have 1 1/2 hours left in my day, so that helped speed things along. i better e-mail my cousin and see if they can check in on the house while we are gone. bye byee for now.

So here we are...

So I just typed a whole bunch of stuff, and I went to highlight it so I could do a little spell check and it disappeared!!!!! And then it did the save thing so it saved as it being all deleted. So I get to type it over again, which is okay, because I don’t have anything to do.

So.....as I was saying before. It has now been one month that Kyle and i have been married. Its exciting stuff. the time went by really fast, alot faster then i thought it would. but now Kyle and I are finally going to go to the bank to get joint bank accounts. I'm not really sure how it will work. like if I will just be added onto his or if they will make a whole new account or what, but I am excited. I will be glad when I can stop worrying about having to go to the bank to take out my half of the mortgage and giving it to Kyle so he can put it in his bank account. so that it will be there when the mortgage payment comes out. or when we go to pay our bills online. so I am looking forward to that.

some day this month we will also go down town to get my name legally changed to Chambers and all that stuff, like my Alberta Health and SIN card and anything and everything else that needs to be changed. I think we might go get our passports that day too. but I don’t know. we will just have to wait and see. I could go on the 31st of the month. That’s when we will leave for BC but I think that we aren't going to leave till the evening, so I can have the day to do all that running around. but again... I just don’t know. OR.... I could just take a Friday off early and do it. now I really don’t know. I should find all this out and then start making plans.

so anyways. I don’t really have much else to say. so I better be getting back to work. even though I don’t have anything to do...bye bye for now.

Oh my goodness...

It has been so long since i wrote anything. So i'm married now! it was awesome, everything went well. the food was good, the cake was fantastic, i cried like a baby, kyle almost cried, but held it in. it was good times. there isn't really anything else to say about it except that. we have been married for 4 weeks now(tomorrow). life is the same as it was before, because we were living together like a married couple anyways. i just have a extra ring on my finger and a new last name. but of course i do love being married, and introducing kyle as my husband, and i call him husband all the time too. its cute, i love it.

my cousin Kim had her baby, it was a girl just like i thought it would be. and a good thing too. we went over there and i droped off a hanging basket of flowers, all the flowers were pink! so i knew i was telling the future when i did that. and Andrew joked when he got home that night to sleep at the house that he didn't think anyone knew it was a girl, and i said i was just predicting the future. but anywas, there baby, Brianne(i think thats how you spell it) is so cute. and yes pretty much all babys are cute, but she is just adorable. she will be a heart breaker. and of course this just made me more baby crazy. we are very determined to have one. Kyle even wants one now that we are married as well. and i have always said, all my life i have wanted to be a mom, and we really hope that we can make that come true. and of course because i want it so bad i have to have issues with that as well. i have PCOS(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycystic_ovary_syndrome), if you want you can go to that web site and read up. but its pretty much that i have cysits on my ovary's, and i dont ovulate. but i have a appointment with a specialist for August 11. so i hope that she will be able to tell me something good. or fix me so i can have babies. because i really want one. and if it all came down to it and there was no chance that i could have one we would adopt, but i just want to be pregnant, and go through all the "good times" that comes along with it. but it will all come in good time, i just have to wait it out.

but anyways, i better get back to work. bye byee for now.

1st Shower...and wedding stuff...

Well last night i had my first of two bridal showers, it was really nice. It was at my Aunt Sherron's house, Kyle's mom(Cheri) and I got there at 6:30(it didn't start till 7:00 but oh well, i like being early). Then everyone else started filling in. 3 aunts, a bunch of cousins(8), Heather(my sister), Cheri, and a family friend(Val). we ate some little finger foods and cake. Then played the "spice game" its where you take a bunch of different spices and put them unmarked(aside from numbers) little cups and pass them around and then everyone writes down what they think is what. i got 5 out of 12 right. my Aunt Nancy and cousin Kim won, i think they got 8/12 right, so they won some stuff from bath and body works(its like the body shop, just bigger and better, and in the states). and then i opened presents. From Aunt Wendy and Andrea i got a big picture frame(with 7 photo spaces on them), a cutting board and a cheese grater(all things on my registry). Aunt Sherron gave me a bunch of stuff from bath and body works, Val(family friend) gave me a gift card to pier one, my cousin Danielle gave me a gift card for a movie theater. Melani(cousin) gave me a really nice chefs knife, and The Bullocks(Aunt Nancy, Cousin's Kim, Tara, Madi, Jeneal, and Charity) all pitched in and got us the dish set that we registered for. My aunt Sherron brought up a gift from my Grandma(in Utah). In there was 2 cooking sheets, a cook book(a really good one too), and something that my grandpa made. I didn't want to open it because i knew that i would start crying, but i did anyways, and i started crying, then aunt sherron started, then nancy, heather, kim, wendy, and andrea. but thats okay. i was very happy to get it. so yeah, it was a good night. we left at 9:00 and got home at 9:30, i drove. we made kyle come out and take the dishes in. it was alot of fun.

i'm looking foward to my shower next week out in Carmangay with my dad's family. and then the week after that its the wedding. very exciting stuff.

Heather will come over on sunday and we are going to make up the little party favors. so i have to go out and buy the candy tonight or tomorrow. as well as doing up the other center pieces. i have a list of stuff that i need to do. as well as picking up my dress. which i will do tomorrow. so i have a very exciting busy weekend. and next weekend i will be at the other shower and in Lethbridge so i wont have time to do any of this stuff. and as i am typing this i keep thinking of other things that i need to do. so i am just writing them down as i go. so again, a very busy weekend.

i am hoping we can get all the wedding stuff done as well as putting carpet in the computer room.
last weekend we did our bedroom. and it looks awesome. so it would be nice to get the other room done as well. we have the carpet for that room in one of the other bedrooms downstairs and once we get that roll of carpet out of there we will be able to clean up that room, maybe even get it painted, and have that all sorted out. then i think we will have our house in pretty good shape. so once again, a very very busy weekend ahead of me. but thats okay. but i better get back to work. bye byee for now...

Mothers Day...

My sister and I are going to go down to Lethbridge for Mothers day. Lethbridge because thats where our mom lives, for those of you that didn't know that. haha. I'm excited to see my mom, it hasn't been very long, but its different when you aren't able to see them every day, if you wanted. so i am excited, and then i will get to see her next weekend because she is coming up to go meet with people about the wedding, and pay for the most part of the food.and then just a few days after that for my first bridal shower, and then the next weekend after that Heather and I are going to Lethbridge again for my second bridal shower, and then......(haha) a week after that its the wedding. so my mom and i have some busy weeks ahead of us. but thats okay.

i am very excited about the wedding now. We looked at wedding bands for Kyle on monday, found some really nice ones, but really $$$ too. i know that i can get something nice and not have to spend alot of money either. so i will look more when Heather and I go to the mall on friday, and maybe in Lethbridge too if we get there early enough. I think we are going up saturday morning. Heather usually works on saturdays but i think she said that she was going to see if she could get it off, or only work till 12:00 or something like that. i dont know i will talk to her later and find out for sure.

we are meeting kyles friend(Andrew) and best man tonight for dinner and drinks, just to talk and hang out. it will be nice to see him, he was in Asia for i think 2 months or 7 weeks, i'm not sure, but we havn't seen him in a while, so it will be nice to catch up. but anyways..... i dont have much else to say, i am at work and i am bored!!!!! and this will be my second post this week, its a record, lol. anyways.... bye byee for now.

33 days till the wedding…

Not much to say though, everything is done. We just need to pay for the food. My mom is coming up from Lethbridge on the 17th(of May) to pay for it, well her part at least, and I will get the other part of the money from my dad before that time. I figured out the main stuff, and who paid for what…

Hall – $150, Kyle’s parents
Bar Service – $100, Kyle’s parents
Food – $1350, $1000 from mom, and the rest from dad
DJ – $500, Kyle’s parents
My Dress – $600, Me (Kyle’s aunt Heather is doing my hair for me)
Cake – $300ish, Heather
License - $92, Me

Everything else we didn’t spend much on, the centerpieces were $30 for 15. So that was awesome. And there wasn’t a whole bunch left after that. We have everything pretty much all together. We (Heather and I) are going shopping for Heather’s brides maids dress on Friday, I really hope that we will be able to find something. And that’s pretty much it. Oh yeah, candy for the little “goodie bags” for the tables, and that’s it, I think. Lol. I am getting even more excited, I have my bridal shower (first one) in 2 weeks, and then the other a week after that. I am just so excited!!!! But that’s all I have to write for now. So yeah, bye byee for now.

Hello all............ its been a while.

Hello. its been a while since my last post. i like to go on here and read my cousin's, Kim and Andrew's blog to see what they are up to, how things are going with them having a baby and all the stuff that they are doing around the house. every once and a while i will check my blog while i am on theres and i noticed that Kim suggested that i make a post about the wedding and how those things are going, so here it is.......
50 days till the wedding. so just under 2 months. i have my dress(the most important thing, lol) the location, the food picked(the location does the food, we just picked what we wanted), the invites all done, and most of the RSVP's back. alot more people then we though are coming, i think we are at just about 80 people right now. i really dont think we will go over 90. there are so many because people with familys decided that they are going to bring there whole family, which is fine, but when its the mom, dad and 3 or 4 kids that adds up because we have to count all the kids, but its fine and i'm not going to worry about it. just as long as they give us a good present, or in our case a good chunk of money, i'm totally joking!!!!! or am i, lol, i am, i am.

but on our rsvp cards we put "wishing well appreaciated(?spelling?)" my mom thought that was a little tacky, but when you have lived together for just about 3 years you tend to get all the stuff that you need. so we figured that people can either give us money or gift cards so we can go out and get the stuff that we need from where ever. so thats the plan, and if people want to buy us gifts too thats okay. people said that we should register anyways, but i just dont want people going out and buying us stuff that we already have. so for my shower with my dads family out neer Lethbridge i decided to put together a little list of things that i would want, so i put some towels on there and some sheets and a blanket, and then as kind-of a joke i put on a BBQ(a $400 BBQ). so i sent that to my one aunt and she said that she would tell everyone what i wanted and they would take care of that list. so a few weeks after i gave her that she e-mailed me and said.......
"hi
just to let you know take the bbq off the list , it has been taken care of-
a lou"
i was so shocked!!! and so happy, i called Kyle right away and told him, he was also very shocked and very happy. he is just sad that we have to wait to get it. that bridal shower is the saturday before the wedding, so May 31st.
i am going to have 2 bridal showers, one out neer Lethbridge with my dads family(because they all live out there). and one here in Calgary at my aunt Sherron's(is it 2 'r's' hummm, i'm not sure) house with my moms family and friends here in Calgary. i just figured that would be easy, with my family all living like 2 hours away from eachother this just seemed the best. Heather and Aunt Sherron(hummm) are planning that one. i'm not sure what they are planning, but i;m sure it will be fun. i told them that there was one thing that i really wanted as a gift, its funny. i want/need one of those shelf storage things that sit over the toilet in the bathroom. i dont have any space to store stuff in there, so thats what i wanted. Heather made a event page on FaceBook and i posted on the wall that, thats what i wanted. i couldn't think of anything else. but thats what i want, so yeah...
Heather and i will go to Lethbridge and stay at our moms house and then we will go to my aunts(Aunt Diane G, i have 2 aunt Diane's) house for the other shower, my mom will come to that one too, its okay, because she was always good friends with my dads sisters, and my aunt Glenna will go to that one as well, she was friends with some of my aunts as well(they all grew up in the same area) so it wont be weird having everyone there. i'm just going to be excited to get our BBQ, i dont know if i will get it then, or if they will just bring it up when they come up the next weekend for the wedding. oh well, but anyways.

i dont really know what else to say about the wedding, we have everything pretty much done. i did the center pieces(just 2 shade red candles stuck in little glass holder things with melted wax holding them in, and little plastic glass looking things around them that i got at the craft store). i like them. they are cute and simple. we just need to buy kyle a black shirt and a red tie and he is good to go. but yeah. i dont have any thing else to say so i better get back to work. bye byee for now...

Long time.......

It has been a very long time since i wrote anything last. lots has happened......

I got a new position with the company that i work for, i now have more work to do, which i really do like, it keeps me busy, and i like that. i hate sitting around and not having anything to do. i go crazy. anyways. and with this new job comes a new pay, which i havn't gotten yet but i'm told will happen soon. i am getting a little peeved off because it is taking so long for it to happen though. but all in good time right? we shall see. the girl that was the receptionist here has also moved positions, so they hired a new girl, Charity is her name and she is my cousin's wife, so my cousin too. she will start next monday(on my birthday). and i am very excited because she will be able to help me out with things, and i will be able to focus more on what i need to do and not what need to happen at reception. and with me reffering her i get $200 after she's been here for 3 months. so thats pretty sweet too. anyways.

We got some "new" carpet to put in our 2 bedrooms that are up stairs(our room and the computer room) from my mom, it was in her basement but they put the stuff that use to be up stairs in there and we got the other stuff. i'm excited to put it in. i think i am going to try and convince kyle that we should do it this weekend. i am just so sick of that nasty brown carpet thats in there now, its so gross. and i'm thinking that if we do that i could re-paint in there too. i want to get a really nice brown(not like the carpet) for the walls. and then in the other room we have the 1/3 paneling in there and paint that to match kindof. because in that room when it becomes the babys room we will just paint the white part of the wall like a baby pink or baby blue, depending on the sex of the baby. so yeah, thats my plan for the weekend.
after the doctors on friday of corse...... i have a new doctor, a female doctor. she's also kyles doctor, so thats nice. but i have a appointment on friday at 3:00. because i have some concerns. i think i have a thiroide(?) issue. i was told that if you have that kind of issue that can cause you to only get your period like once every 3-6 months, and thats what has been happening. and having that issue can also cause a person(me) to not be able to have a baby, untill it gets fixed. so i am going to ask her about that and what she thinks, and most likely get some blood work done, which is fine, i just want to know whats going on, so we know how to fix it. because i have been off "the pill" for over a year now and nothing. so i dont know whats going on. but i hope i will know soon, i just really want to have a baby.

we went to Utah 2 weeks ago. my grandpa passed away so we went down for the funeral. it was nice to be able to see all of the family, but not for the reasons that we were there. i cried alot, which i always do, i'm kindof a cry baby. Kyle wasn't able to go. because we aren't married his work wouldn't let him have the time off. it made me really mad because i really wanted him there, but oh well. everything worked out just fine. the ride down was of corse boaring, i slept almost the whole time. it was nice because i had the back seat to my self. on the way home my aunt Glenna drove back with us, so i had to sleep sitting up, i had no issues doing that, just after a while my neck would start to hurt, but i still slept most of the way home too. but everything was good, i got to see my family and spend time with all of them. and had a good time, aside from the real reason that we were there. it was nice. anyways.

i dont really know what else to say, so i better be getting back to work. bye byee for now.
