Okay , I know ................... I'm sorry!

Its been a little while, sorry about that, I've been lazy! My fault!

So, lets have a little catch up shall we................ Merry Christmas, Happy New year and I've already broke my new years resolution - how about you???

Christmas was quiet out here in the mountains, Matt offered to work so one of the guys he works with could spend the day with his 2 young kids, so we celebrated on the 24Th, turkey and all! Yea, that's right, I made my 2ND turkey and it was yum yum gwoooood! I made way to much food, its hard cooking for only 2 people on a holiday, but who doesn't love leftovers!?!?!? On Christmas day I had a ton of fun on my web cam watching the family back in Ontario open presents, have some laughs and share some shots! Don't you just love technology!

New Years Eve was another quiet one out here, with us not knowing many people yet its a little hard to throw a big bash! Maybe next year! There were some suggestions from friends that we just put a big sign on the window, but that would mean I couldn't wear my track pants so that was out!!!

Now we are into 2009! Holy Moly! How the year flew by and now a new one begins. Well, Matt and I are beginning it with a trip back to Ontario, in a couple days we will fly home to visit all the best of our family and friends!!!! I CAN"T WAIT! I'm so excited! Its going to be great to see everyone and catch up, have some laughs a few drinks and alot of fun! I'm betting there will be some shopping in there too, you know me, love to shop!!!

So, now its on to packing and making sure I don't pack to much in the suitcases, I'll need room for all the goodies I intend to buy!!!

See you soon Ontario!

Birthday Thoughts......................Hmmm!

Well, it is official, I am now 30! wow, its not as scary to say it as i thought it might be, who knows maybe it hasn't hit me yet. the twenties are done, but my hubby keeps telling me that the 30's are the new 20's, do you think that has something to do with him turning 32 this coming april? I've had a few friends hit the 30's before me with no complaints so far (I think). So I can do this! It doesn't really change anything except that when someone asks me how old I am I can't get away with telling them 21 anymore, I'll have to up it to 26 or 27 maybe. What does 30 mean to you? What should it mean? Is this where women start to wonder if they have missed out on things in life? Or where they jump at the chance to do something drastically different? What should I be doing differently? do I start using anti wrinkle cream or do I have to stop acting like a child( sometime)? I think "age ain't nothin but a number" and we only feel old if we want to feel old! I have my days that after running around with a young puppy I think, "okay time to sit down" but I don't think I feel old - yet! Maybe once I have some kids and have those sleepless nights then I might start to feel the age. Who knows! It wasn't the shock I thought it would be, I thought when 7:10 pm came around (the time I was born and my momma always reminds me that it was the time I put her in extreme pain) I would start to freak out have a mini panic attack and not know what to do with myself, but it wasn't so. I made it through and now have 10 years to get through before the next (maybe) panic attack!!!

Packages! For ME????

Wow, I am one spoiled girl! Other then the amazing postcards in the mail, I have received 2 packages for my birthday. One from Momma and One from Lisa and Stef! Holy Moly the mind reels! I made sure to take pictures of everything as I opened it so that it would be like they were here with me when I did! Momma is trying to start me on here addiction of snowmen collecting, I don't think I have the dedication she has, not sure I should take on such a task! But now I have 2 - the one on top of the tree and the one she sent me this year! Lisa and Stef on the other hand love to surprise me with fun and funny gifts. I loved all my parcels, you would too. Check them out here! and here!Whats your favorite of my fun and funny gifts?!?!?!?
I also received some pretty flowers from Momma and Brian yesterday! Thank you Again, Momma!

Look what I've been getting in the mail!

It started one crisp winter day like any other, I headed to the mailbox to see if my cheque for millions and millions of dollars had finally arrived. The surprise that waited for me was so different but just a valuable................ a POSTCARD! A Postcard? you ask, but not just any Postcard, this one was special it had a Mounty drawn on it! I knew this was the start of something! For every weekday that followed I looked forward to going to the mailbox and seeing what new surprises awaited me. It made me smile each time. I received a "B" "Y" and so many other letters over the next couple weeks. From great friends like Lisa, Stef , Jen, Danielle, Sara C, Sonia and some I still haven't guessed. I think they are sending me a message of some sort, I think I have it figured out, checkout the pictures here to see if I'm Right!
