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.

Nov 24

So.................. i started a new job, in the same company, last week. and its awesome. i am keeping really busy and i pretty much always have something to do, which i really like. at the other place i found it really dull, and i never had anything to but except filling. and that was not fun. but here i was doing ePayables, which was awesome, and kept me really busy, and now i am calling people to get gas cylinders back that they have had for over 60days. which sounds stupid but its good. and the people are so nice and layed back, its totally different then at the other building where everyone had a stick up there butts. haha. i really like my new supervisor, she's super nice. and the people that are sitting around me are nice too. one girl who is just a year older then i am, maybe 2 years older, is going to have a baby, they just found out the sex yesterday, so i like that she can tell me things about that and i can share in her joy i guess you could say.
and then i find out that my cousin that lives just a few houses away from me is going to have a baby too, i think its something in the water, and if it is can i have some of it. haha, stuff like that makes me want to have a baby so bad, but we dont think that we can. i'm not going to get into it, but lets just say that if it was going to happen it should have by now. i think i might have to go and see the doctor one day and find out what the issue is. but anyways. my other cousin had her baby, a little boy(a little early too) but they are both doing fine, and will be able to come home this weekend, i think. my aunt is coming up from lethbridge for a week to help out. thats very nice of her. i think we will go for lunch one day next week. her my cousin my sister and i. but we will have to wait and see. anyway.
i dont have much else to say. so yeah. bye byee for now.

friday

So. it has been a while since i have posted anything. so i figured that it was about time that i got around to it. i just got back from a extra long weekend, my mom, her husband, brooks, my sister and i all went to Utah to visit family. mainly to see my grandpa and grandma. but it was awesome to see everyone else too. I got a facial done by my aunt diane. it hurt so much, i dont ever recomend it to anyone that doesn't have a high pain tollerance. i cried and screamed and swore a few times, i dont think anyone heard me because i did it inbetween sobbs. haha, she said it was okay that i said bad words just not the f word. and i'm okay with that. because i dont like that word. but anyways. she "extracted" my face, which means she popped every pimple she could fine, and thats what made me first start crying(i had alot). then she put salacilic acid on my face, pure acid. like you know how you will go out and buy that face wash and it will say something like 2% or 5% salacilic acid, well this stuff was pure, and it hurt so bad, and made my skin go all red and white. anyways, it hurt alot, but now that it had peeled and is all healed it looks awesome! haha. i still have some dis-coloration but that will fade with time. and i also have some new facewash and lotion and a special mask that should help too. i'm really excited! AND i lost a little bit more weight which is also awesome.
but anyways. we got some bad news when we were down there, my grandpa isn't doing so good. they dont know how much longer he has. and it was really hard to say our good bye's. but anyways. i better be getting back to you. bye byee for now.

Aug 20th 2007

So it has been an eventful week I guess you could say. At the beginning I wasn’t feeling to good. T.O.M came to visit. For those of you who don’t know what it means TOM is Aunt Flow’s son. Hahahahahaha! I’m so funny. Anyways. So Thursday was crap. I had bad cramps and all. And then Friday was much better. I had just gotten paid and my day was pretty good… until I got a e-mail from my mom telling me that my Great Grandma had passed away. At first I thought I was going to be okay. But them I started crying. And I couldn’t really do my job so I got Kendall to sit at my desk and watch the phones. I then called Kyle and sobbed and cried a bit. Then went into work. I saw Jesse our interoffice mail guy and told him what happened (I hadn’t told Kendall yet) and then went and sat in a empty office for another few min’s to get my self together. And went to my desk. Kendall said that Jesse told her what happened and that she told Corey (my boss) and Corey said for me to go home. I wasn’t expecting my sister to come and get me till 4:00(it was 3:15 at the time) and that I would be okay till then. And its one of those things that is okay till you start talking about it. Like this guy from logistics Patric came and gave me a hug, which was really nice. But then made me cry because I started to talk about it. So I called my sister and asked when she was going to get here and she said that she could be there in 10 min’s. so she came and I left. I think I took it really bad because of TOM and Aunt flow. Those jerks. But now I am okay. Going to the gym for 5 hours then going home and eating almost a whole pizza really made me feel better. So did getting so drunk that I couldn’t stand. Haha.
But then Sunday came along and I felt somewhat better. And we went out side to take the dog out and we saw the people that live next to us who told us that the people that own the unit on the other side of us were painting. And we thought great our house is going to look like poop. But the color that they picked is really nice. Its called volcanic ash or something like that. It’s a really dark gray and we really like it. So we are going to paint our side this weekend. there is no way that we would leave ours un-painted. First off I hate the color of our house. Its this nasty blue stuff that is just gross. And I think that when you have a duplex that the whole thing should be the same color because it looks stupid some times if its not. Like maybe if they are on 2 different levels. Like if one is out more or if there is more definition between the 2. I don’t know, I just don’t think it will look good. But anyways. I’m excited to paint the out side of the house. I’m told that it will increase the value of the house. And that’s a good thing when you are wanting to sell in the next 4 or less years. But who know. We will just have to wait to see what the future brings I guess. But hey, if anyone wants to help paint my house your more then welcome. Just give me a call or e-mail. Haha. Bye byee for now.

So far, not a good week!

There is so much to fill everyone in on! We got our tile in our kitchen, on the floor. I’m so excited it looks so awesome. So the up-stairs part is somewhat all done. We just need new stuff for the bed rooms, and the front entry/stairs. But we do have it, for the stairs, its just not in yet and I don’t think it’ll get done till Aug. but oh well I don’t care. We can wait. So now I’m thinking that next week I will tare out the back splash in the kitchen and put up the new stuff. It seems easy enough, and if we are careful we wont have to rip the wall out and just put up new dry wall, that would just be a big pain in the butt. But anyways….

We are dog sitting for Beau(My sisters BF) and we love his little dog(King, a bull dog), we have now decided if he ever asks us to do it again that we will be busy. He is very annoying, and is a bad influence on our dog Duke. All he does is ruff house and bite and be very annoying. He bit duke so bad yesterday that he yelped and I got mad and hit him hard, but he needs to learn to play nice and not to bite so much.

It is just not my week! And its only Wednesday.

I say this because our hot water tank is broken. It has a crack in the bottom of the tank, so we are going to have to buy a new one, haha, bye byee money! It’s a good thing that we have a gift card to the home depot or else we would be in a lot more trouble.

And last night wasn’t good either. I was in the basement playing with Pookie, my hampster, and I had him on the desk that his cage is on, well Sassy, my cat, decided that she was going to jump up on the desk and try to eat Pookie! She bit him right in the bum and it sounded like he screamed and because he was in my hand he bit me too. So I put him in his cage and because I was so mad I yelled at Sassy and picked her up and threw her out of the room, not hard but good enough that she ran to her ‘room’(the laundry room) and then I checked Pookie to make sure that he was okay, and he was, no bleeding or anything, so he’ll be fine. And kyle heard me yell at Sassy so he came down stairs and I started to cry because I was worried about Pookie, and then I went to see if sassy was okay and she was cowering in her bad, and I felt bad about being mean and yelling at her but she made me really mad when she did that. Like how was I going to know that she was going to try and do that. So I picked her up and gave her hugs and kisses, I think she’s still scared of me, but not as much as before.

Anyways

My granny is going to come to the city today, I’m excited to see her and for her to see what we have done with the house. She hasn’t been in a while, she was there when we still had the pink carpet in and the walls were a weird color. So I think she will like it a lot more now.

Kyle’s aunt Vicky and cousin Becky are coming in as well, she will be here tomorrow(Thursday) and will stay till Sunday or Monday. Vicky has a daughter(Jen) that lives here in Calgary and she’s well there is not other way to put it then a freak, she shaved her head and left a patch in the back of her head so she could have a poni-tail and she left her bangs too. And she has all these weird very badly done tattoos all over her, he boyfriend is a weird one too. They both drink all the time and do drugs. The last time that we saw them was Christmas eve, and we had all gone out to dinner, Kyle’s parents Jen, her BF, kyle and I, and they both complained so much and were so rude to the waiter guy, but I think that it had something to do with the joint that they smoked before we went in. so anyways, she hardly ate anything at all, a nice waste of someone else’s money. But before we left she said that she needed to go to the bathroom, so she went in and she was in there for like 20 min’s so I went in to check on her and she was in there crying and talking to a chair! And I was like okay jen we’re going now, and then she told me that she was talking to a old lady, and she has said something about her being a messenger and I don’t know, freaking crazy chick! But anyways I’m hoping that we wont have to see her. But I’m sure that we will. But oh well.

I don’t have anything else to say. If I could figure it out I would put pictures of the kitchen on here but I don’t know how to, so oh well. Bye byee for now!

June 5

Well hello everyone. It has been a while since my last entry. Geeze what have I been doing? Haha, working. But we finally did it. We got our back yard all cleaned up. My mom and brooks came to Calgary for the weekend and they stopped by on Sunday, I told my mom how nice our new niebours are and how they said that if we ever need any ‘yard tools’ to just ask because they have a lot. So I was out side talking to my mom and Debbie (the neibour lady) over heard me telling my mom that out weed-wacker is broken. So Debbie said that they had an extra one that we could borrow. And I said great. So she got the one out and Vance (the neibour guy) brought out another one, and he said ‘it’ll get done a lot faster if 2 people do it’ so he and Kyle wacked the poo out of the over grown grass and weeds. They were at it for a good 2 hours. And I really with that I would have taken some before pictures, because now it looks AWESOME! But I did take after pictures that I will put on here and try to explain how horrible it looked before. I haven’t heard back from my mom on what she thinks, but I’m sure she likes what she see’s.

Hummm, what else. We got all of the hard wood put in, in the living room and hall way, and we have all the tile for in the kitchen. The only hard part is getting my dad to come over and do it. But I’m not going to complain, it’s going to be free so oh well. The only thing that we need to buy is some ¼” ply wood for a new sub floor. Kyle’s dad said that he would buy it for us, but I don’t think that will happen. He said it after he had a few too many drinks so I don’t think he’ll remember it. So we’ll just have to buy it. I’m going to call my dad later to see about it happening this weekend. but we are going to my aunt and uncles house for a ‘cousins get together’. It’ll be fun. All of my cousins that live here in Calgary are all going to go, we’re going to BBQ and maybe play some games. It’ll be good times. Well not all my cousins. Some can’t make it. But oh well. So I’ll have to ask Kim(my cousin that organized it) what time it’s going to be at, and see when heather(my sister) will want to head out there. So we shall see. I should take a before picture of out kitchen floor. Its gross. And then a nice after one. Haha. Anyways. I better be getting back to work, even thought I don’t have anything to do and I’m just going to waste this last ½ hour. Bye byee for now.
