So Busy...

So we are in the middle of madness at GW right now... I am working lots of over time and felt guilty for leaving after my 8 hours was up today. The paperwork is endless. This is so totally the worst time to be taking my last Payroll course... but I guess thats the way it goes sometimes! The other day I stood up from my desk and this is how it looks! You cant even see my keyboard! Haha....

My Oakley's!!!!!

So I have been looking at Oakley Liv Sunglasses for months and months and months now. Finally Brian and I went to the Sunglasses Hut where I tried them on and hated them... but right next to them and very similar were the Oakley Breathless! Just awesome, but, $225 plus tax! Ouch... I searched Ebay and Craig's List and ended up winning them on Ebay for less than half the price! Yippie... they arrived 2 days ago in the mail and I couldnt be happier with my purchase!

1 Year Anniversary (at my job!)

So on April 20th I was joking to my co-workers about my 1 year anniversary with the company on April 21st. "I want chocolate cake, gifts..." I was totally joking. The next morning Amber shows up with some home made "Dirt & Worms" treats just for my anniversary! Haha... very fitting!

Happy Birthday's!!

April 24 - Happy Birthday to Elliott! I don't know how old... but he is the first person I have ever seen not show up to his own birthday dinner! Haha... Brian, Mom, Elanne and myself had a good time! Hope you are feeling better and enjoyed the left overs Elliott!

April 26 - Happy Birthday to my brother Aaron! 27... wow, its hard to believe, seems like just yesterday you were chasing us at the cabin with Tomato Horn Worms!

April 29 - Happy Birthday in memory of Grandma who would have been 79... still hard to believe she is no longer with us... I thought she would be around forever

April 30 - Happy Birthday to Kindra! 31 years old today!!

Kiddie Park

I was invited to join Julie, Cali, Stephanie, Lilah and Declan at the park on Saturday afternoon... wow do those kids have energy!! (well, except Declan... sleepy little guy)

Anxiously Awaiting June 1st!

Well... it is 95% official that we have our new 2 bedroom suite in Langley! Yes, we are moving.... it has been almost 1 year now since we moved to Coquitlam and we have decided we are just not happy here. Both of us have always wanted to be in Langley so we decided the commute, which isnt that far, is worth it... here is a sneak peek at our new suite (the house is still under renovation which is why it looks kinda cluttered/messy)

This is the entrance to our patio from our master bedroom. There is hardwood flooring, a big closet with a light in it and lots of natural light! This is the living room with fireplace and window that faces the street.

We have a rather large laundry room with closets and cupboards... I can not wait to use the old top load washer (after a year with a half sized front load stacking washer/dryer I feel like I am doing laundry all the time)

This is the kitchen... yes its small but have you see our current one? Not much different... I will miss having a garburator but otherwise this little kitchen is just perfect (notice the dishwasher?!) I have a trolley cart I am going to put in the middle there as an island for extra storage and counter space.

Bathroom has lots of counter space, new tile floors, great water pressure... a huge closet... we are looking forward to the more spacious bathroom for sure!

Well, thats the mini tour... once we move in, I will put up more pictures!! (and of course have people over)

Baby-Sitting Cali!

I took my Good Friday stat last friday so I wouldnt have to commute from Abby to Burnaby for work and I ended up taking Cali for the day! Julie was working and Greg was off camping... I took Cali with me to visit Kindra and baby Alex... wow was that ever alot of work! Who knew packing a kid around would take so much out of you! Chasing a kid around, slugs in your pocket (yes, a slug!), nap time, dinner time, bath time, bed time... lots of work! It all went well. This picture of Cali was taken at Boston Pizza at lunch time... Julie took me for lunch to thank me for the upcoming night! (Dad-this picture is for you!!)

House-Sitting

Lucky Mom and Elliott are in Palm Springs right now! Brian and I stayed in Abbotsford at their place from Tuesday night until Saturday afternoon watching Tag, Iggy, the cats, Fish and the Plants. Brian and I really miss Tag so it was nice to spend so much time with him!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone! I drove around today dropping off my Cake Pop Chicks for mainly the kids, but mom and dad got them too! (Sorry Vaino's I wasn't on top of this enough to get some mailed out to you!!) Cali had no problem digging right in!
