It's been almost 2 months because life has been beyond crazy! I'm (sort of) busy with my day job...and busy busy with my evening job...and somewhere in between all that, I try to spend as much time as possible with Dave & my girls. Not that that is an easy feat, as Dave is back working for himself again, which means 12 hour days, 6 or 7 days a week. The whole thing is exceptionally exhausting!
Hmmm...so what else is going on? Lets please start with my long time dream (haha) ~ a few weeks ago, I got to go & see my childhood idols all over again, as I got to see NKOTBSB with my 2 best girls!!!
It was soooo much fun singing along to all my favorite songs from 20 something years ago...unfortunately some of the boys have now hit puberty, so the songs don't quite sound the same. I was sooo looking forward to seeing what my crushes from so long ago looked like now...so disappointed though...THEY'RE OLD! :) I guess it happens to the best of us...either way, it was such a good time! My only regret is that I didn't bring my actual camera. I only had my iPhone, so the pictures came out pretty crappy in the dark...
I was smart enough to take the next day off of work...although it wasn't much of a day off by any stretch! Doctors appointments, clients needing their hair done, laundry...the list goes on and on!
That same week came THE moment I've been waiting for...the final Harry Potter movie. It's so sad to know that it's all over, but I have to say (as I've said about every other so far), this was the BEST ONE YET! So well done, and so nice to see the little ones all grown up lol. Harry Potter...you will be missed~ :)
That same week (do we see a pattern?) Dave & I drove to Valleyview, AB for my family reunion. I'm so proud of him as he handled it like a champ. I know others that would have been kicking & screaming the whole way lol. It was nice to see those who were there (though there were quite a few missing), as it's been a LONG time since everyone got together.
We had a golf tournament (not my finest hour), and a pig roast (poor little piggy started on fire), games, tubing on the lake, a mini concert, and even fireworks...a good time (I think) was had by all.
Here we are now, back to the grindstone. Long weekend this weekend. Dave is going camping with a friend of ours in the mountains, and I have big plans while he is gone. The bedroom is going to get painted (which he won't know about til he gets home), dinners with friends & a movie night out. I may even try to fit in some baking for when he gets back...if there's time...
I want to throw out a HUGE (premature) congratulations to my stepbrother Chad & his lovely fiance Leslie who will be getting married in Ontario this weekend. I'm sad that we wont be able to be there, but circumstances just didn't allow for this trip this year. We hope to be able to get out there to see them sometime soon. Would be nice to finally meet these people (and their 2 beautiful daughters) face to face, as we have only been able to get to know each other via Facebook....someday.....
Today I am (trying to be) thankful for all the stupid rain we've been getting. It is saving me time by keeping my flowers and lawn watered, and saving me mega money on car washes (why wash it, it's just gonna get dirty again in 5 minutes)! :)
