It's been a month!!!

Ok, so Holy Crap it's been a long time since I've posted anything! The sad part is, I don't know that I really have anything to post. All I know, is that I'm SUPER bored right now, so I figured this would be a fun activity to keep me busy.

So I went home and it was great to see all of you I got to see! Kailey is SUPER cute, and I'm sad I can't see her on a regular basis. Hopefully you Podezwa's (sorry, I'm positive I spelled that wrong) will make a trip out here to London soon and we can all hang out here.

I guess I just want to share a bit of my testimony...seems a little weird to be posting it on a blog, but whatever, I'm doing it anyway. I'm SOOOOOOO grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who gives us what we need in the timing that's best for us. The final decision to go home to go through the temple was pretty quick, and Heavenly Father paved that path so incredibly well there were no bumps anywhere along that way. He provided the funding, the convenience of the flight and all things that just made it such a positive and uplifting experience and I can't even begin to express how grateful I truly am. I'm so blessed to have the gospel in my life and I look forward to many years of amazing Temple experiences.

Ok, also I'm like 90% sure I'm going to be buying a car, and I would love to hear your feedback in this particular area. What do you all recommend? I know absolutely nothing about cars, so anything you can tell me would be great!

Going Home for Easter

Well,
It certainly has been a long time since I've updated my blog...or at least it feels like it. I'm happy to say the the pneumonia has gone away with the help of the amazing drugs that were so nicely provided to me. There's nothing like being able to breath without coughing!

I'm excited to report that I'm going home easter weekend to take out my endowments! Woo Hoo! I'm pretty excited, I'm not going to lie! I'm going through on Thursday the 20th, so if you're reading this and you can come, I'd love to see you there! I'm starting to feel like a grown up now :)

Well that's it for now! I just wanted to keep you all updated. Hopefully I'll get some fun pictures while I'm home!

Still at home...

Well...I'm still at home and not at work. To my credit I did try and go in yesterday, which totally ended up being a half day cause I'm just to tired to do work. Seriously I would get up to go to the fax machine and be totally winded by the time I got there. Which is Ridiculous. I mean come on now, there's just no need for that. Anyway my manager was nice enough to tell me to go home and get rested...so here I am...still at home. I have officially worked 4 hours all week. Slowly am I going crazy....

That being said I have LOADS of time to do nothing but search the web. I found this HALARIOUS site called http://www.morphthing.com/ man, there's some good times. It lets you upload pictures and then it morphs the faces together (think Kate Hudson's scrapbook in how to loose a guy in 10 days). I've decided it's only really creepy if you morph your face with someone you actually know (think Kate Hudson in how to loose a guy in 10 days.). That being said it's totally acceptable to morph you face with Celebrities you don't know... (I do fully realize I'm probably creepy and insane, but come on people, I've been home now for 7 days!!!) Anyway here's a few examples for you to see just how crazy this site really is...

This would be me and John Krasinski (Jim Halpert from the Office).

This would be a cross of myself and Michael Weatherly (think Tony on NCIS)

This would be myself and Patrick Dempsey (Dr McDreamy on Grey's)

As you can see the hours of the day just fly by so fast when you start morphing your face with Celebrities. Seriously...you should try...it's loads of fun!!!

BORED!!!

Well, it's been awhile since I've updated my blog and I figured I had better post a little something since I'm sitting here all bored and such. So I haven't been to work in 5 days, which sounds like it should be fun, however I'm really wishing I was there today. We had a nice 3 day weekend (it's Family day here in Ontario...the Liberals promised if they got voted in during the last provincial election they would give us a Holiday in February...and they actually did) and I managed to get sick. At first I thought I just had a happy little cold, but I went to the Doctor today and surprise I have a sinus Infection and walking pneumonia. LOVELY! It does however explain the elephant sitting on my chest. I got fun drugs though, which make me pretty happy inside. The Congestion that was giving me man voice just didn't want to go away, so with any luck, the drugs will make me sound somewhat female again!

Lets see, what else can I say? Oh I went to a dance on Saturday night. While I was sick. I don't know why I do that. I don't even like dances when I'm healthy so why going to them when I don't feel well seems like a good idea I'll never know. I pretty much just hung out with the Old Ladies club in the Kitchen as it was more fun than actually dancing. (Before anyone gets upset, yes I did go in a dance for a bit...it was just more fun in the Kitchen)

Here's a really bad picture of me and a pretty good picture of Holly. My eyes always seem to disapear when pictures get taken...I find it annoying!!!

Here's Suzette and John...they take better pictures then I do :) John would not be a member of the Old Ladies Club, but he's still fun :)

Here's Amee and I...still not a good picture of me, however I don't think we took any good one's of me that night. Oh well...life goes on!

Well this weekend is the temple trip and I`m super excited to go. I`m heading over to the Family History Center so I should have more names to do this weekend. I`m telling you, if you haven`t started doing your own family History you should totally jump on that Bandwagon cause it`s loads of fun!!!

PICTURES!!!!

For all of you out there who are currently prego and about to have babies...take pictures ok??? All of us singles (namely Me) like to live vicariously through looking at YOUR pictures! So don't let me down...I need them! :) Before I get to the pictures of my niece however I'll share a few points from my week...

Last weekend we had O'l ladies night at Amee's...good times. We broke out the dating for Dummies book...and learned how to flirt. Haha, man there's some serious inside jokes there, however you would really need to see me for me to explain them, so let me just say that the book is seriously troubled when giving flirting instructions...if anyone were to actually practice them they would look like an ape. No joke...next time I'll take pictures. We even practiced on a few poor males on Sunday at break the fast...good thing they were good sports. Although we did have a volunteer for our Coach...it has possibilities.

Sunday night I enjoyed games night out at John Wright's. I don't know if you've ever played 4 on a couch, however if you haven't I would seriously recommend it. You could probably find the instructions online somewhere. It's a nice fun confusing game for all involved...sadley the girls lost 3 out of 4 games. Also enjoyable, snowball ambushes on people just showing up. Probably not really a Sunday activity, but it sure was fun. The element of Surprise is always a good time.

Now to the pictures...some of these are on facebook, but I love them so I'm posting them anyway...you'll all just have to deal :)

So here's the proud Papa (My brother Kris) and his little girl. Not even home yet and already exhausted!

Poor Hannah had a little bit of Jaundice so she had to live in an incubator for a couple of days!

Hannah and her Catapiller...it's pretty much the same size as she is!

Hannah at Home...she looks like my brother I think...she's kinda small to tell right now though!

Anyway thats pretty much it for me this week...thankfully it's Wed and only 2 more work days to go!! Maybe If I'm really lucky tomorrow will even be a snowday...keep your fingers crossed for me!

Crazy Week!

Well this week and last week have been absolutley insane! I've gotten good news and Bad news and life as I once knew it has ended! (Ok so maybe I'm being a little overdramatic but somedays it certainly feels like it!!!)

Good news first....I'm an Aunt!!! Woo Hoo! Kris and Catherine welcomed Hannah Julia Chatham into the world on Thursday Jan 24th! She weighed in at 6lbs 12oz and I would totally post a picture but they haven't sent me any. There's no cameras in Yellowknife or something??? Come on now, I want a picture of my Niece! Anyway I guess they're all doing well cause I haven't heard anything else from them...I've even left 2 messages and I assume if something went wrong Mom would have heard about it. I promise I'll post a picture as soon as I get one!

Bad new...Michelle has been diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Not cool in any way shape or form and I have no idea if she'll kill me for having posted that. She's handeling it WAY better then I did...I had to get a blessing before I felt any type of Comfort (please no one mention that to her, cause she doesn't need to worry about me) however now I'm doing ok even though it still SUCKS! I REALLY wish there was something I could do...like give her a Kidney or something, but there isn't so we all just have to deal with it...and I should probably go get tested myself...but I'm holding out on that option for now.

So there's my crazy week in a nutshell. If you notice to the right of my Blog I have a fun little poll going to see where I should go for Vacation so if you haven't already done so, please take the time to click a box. I'm interested to see what will win!

Holidays are Fini!

Well, Christmas has come and gone and it's all back to real life. Which is kinda sad really, I was having a grand time in the Scosh not working, just doing nothing all day well, except for the part where I did the running around, and the grocery shopping...and everything else that no one else had time for. It was fun to see everyone I got to see and I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to really hang out with everyone. When you haven't seen your family in 8 months, you just really want to spend a good chunk of time with them. I do have some cool pictures though.

So here's Teeny, Davis and Sammy. I think Davis had on more makeup then Kristine...it's all right though! He can pull it off.

These are my Cousins Kayla and Brad. How cute are they??? I have to admit that one of the things I miss the most are all the Kids. Being in a Singles branch and not really knowing any family's with Kids I don't really see a whole lot of them out here. There's just no one for me to play with!!!

Grampy plowing the driveway. When Mom and I went up to Fredericton for the weekend they got 30cm of snow on the Saturday. So Grampy goes and and gets this super cool tractor from the garage and procedes to plow out the driveway...which is really more like a cul-de-sac in the yard...the thing is Huge! Anyway I thought it was cool enough to take a picture!

All right so I Know Debbie would KILL me for posting this...(so please don't tell her Rob) but I ran into my favorite girls at the Superstore and had to get a picture. Incidently I don't really have any pictures of Morgan smiling....I really don't think she liked me all that much :) Everytime I saw her she would cry, so I guess it was me :) It's all right though...Emma still likes me :)

Those are some of the fun highlights from my trip! I'll post more pictures off to the side. Plus there's always facebook.

Anyway I'm now addicted to the show Project Runway. I don't know if you've ever seen it, but it's totally awesome. It's a bunch of fashion desingers trying to win the money for their own clothing line. Seriously, I have no idea what I ever did before TV on DVD. Actually it's sad how it's consuming my life. Well...that and reading. (I actually did read the Twilight series Kristi, I LOVED it, you should totally read "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray)

I hope all is well and that you had great Holiday fun!!! It's back to the real world now!!! P.S. If you had the choice to go to Salt Lake or Ireland which would you choose??? I need comments on this cause I only have enough Vacation this year to do one, and both have come up, so please, please give me your feedback!!!!
