SOLD!........well maybe

Hey everybody. Well we have conditionally sold our house. The home inspection is today so as long as they do not find anything wrong with the property, then its official. The only dissapointing part is that the possession date is the end of May which means we have to move our Europe trip to either June or July. We are thinking July now (Ben and Johanna I will email you when we know for sure) because we have two graduations and a wedding to go to in June. My little sister and Braden's little brother are graduating on the same weekend! Bad luck hey? So we decided that I will go to Kate's grad and Braden will go to Nathan's. And Braden's cousin Brittany is getting married and we are so excited! It should be a fun wedding!

Frontier, Saskatchewan

I just got back from Frontier and wish I could go back again. It's a completely different lifestyle and there is so much more to do than living in Calgary. I guess I'm not much of a city person. I got to watch my little brother (the one that's about a foot taller than me) play hockey, Kent (my other little brother) and I went curling together, I helped mom with a project that her students were working on in school, and got to see the cutest baby ever! (Tyson). Before I went to Frontier, Morgan and Tyson were in Calgary visiting. So Morgan brought me to Frontier and my Mom and Dad brought me up to Calgary. It was so much fun to see everyone again but the trip, as always, was just too short.

Back To Normal

Well we finally have our house back to normal. No more plastic hanging over the doors, or drywall dust all over the place, or all of our furniture stuffed into the bedrooms. We have really come to appreciate having time to relax in the evenings and living in a clean house once again. Here are some pictures of what our house looked like not so long ago.

Happy Valentine's Day

Well I hope that everybody had a good Valentine's Day or Single Person's Appreciation Day! We went to this cute little Italian restaurant but have you ever gone to a nice restaurant only to find out that their portion sizes are tiny? I'm embarassed to say that we went to McDonalds afterwards! And I have never seen McDonalds so dead empty. I guess its not the typical place you go for Valentine's Day! Anyways we also found out that they put the trainees at the counter when it is not busy. The guy that served us was hilarious! First of all he put cream in my coffee cup, spilt it on the dirty counter and then filled up the dirty cup (with no cream left in it) with coffee all the while touching the part of the cup that you drink out of. Then he accidentally made Braden's cheeseburger a plain burger. Then he forgot to put chocolate sauce on one of the sundaes. Finally he filled one of the sundae cups up too full, said "uhoh" but attempted to put a lid on it anyways. By the time we got to our table we couldn't stop laughing! I don't know, maybe you had to be there but it was pretty funny.

I got tagged!

Well I got tagged by Morgan sooooo I have thought of five totally random facts about myself
1) I am NOT a morning person.
2) I LOVE Alphabets cereal.
3) I have the cutest dog ever! (her name is Honey)
4) I use hand lotion like twenty times a day.
5) I hate birds. The older I get the more I do not like them and the more afraid of them I am. Unfortunately Fort St John is infested with giant crows!
