The Office=Amazing...

So here's what I did this weekend...I had an office Marathon with Holly. Yep thats right, I watched a whole crap load of the office. And it was amazing. However the only down side to having an Office marathon is you then can't get the quotes out of your head. I've pretty much been walking aroung all weekend thinking to myself
"'Don't be an Idiot' is the greatest advice I've ever received. I think to myself, would an idiot do that? And if the answer is yes, I don't do it."
Well that and about a dozen other amazing quotes. If you've never watched the Office I would highly recommend doing so. You'd be in for some great laughs.


Also I've started reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I don't know if any of you have started that one yet, but please let me know what you think about it. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I'm only half done though! I'm thinking I don't like it as much as the Twilight series.

Thats pretty much all I have this weekend...well that and I saw Prince Caspian the new Narnia movie, which was GREAT! I'm still doing the car shopping...which I hate. I can't make up my mind, and when I think I've decided I change it again. Anyway I hope all is well with anyone reading this :) Have a great long weekend!

Fun with Jumbo...and other stuff

All right,

So clearly I'm not so good at this whole Blogging thing. I just can't ever seem to remember to update it. However, I've had an exciting weekend, so naturally I want to share it with all of you.

All right, so those of you who know Nathan Smith and Caverly Butterwick with be pleased to know that they are now known and Nathan and Caverly Smith. It was my first Sealing and it was great. If either of the two of you read this, please know that I am extreamly grateful for having been invited. I'll just post my favorite picture of the Happy Couple, and if you want to see more, please check out facebook.

It was a fun, long day full of tears, laughs and some great practical jokes. It was some seriously good times...(but not in the maritimes).

Well...I have to admit that there was a little bit of time between the sealing and the reception...so thankfully I had two very fun traveling Companions (Andrew and Marci Saunderson) who didn't mind making some fun stops for pictures. So I thought I would share the amazingness of Jumbo with all of you reading my Blog...

I don't know how well you can read that, however essentially, the town of St Thomas errected a Statue of an Elephant that got hit by a train. No joke. An Elephant really got hit by a train...and they really made a statue to commerate this. So here's our Jumbo Pictures...

So there you go...Good times with Jumbo the Elephant. There's just nothing like a good road trip!

P.S. Car Shopping = Blech!

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!
