Emma's Wedding

<-------First Dance, Mr. & Mrs. Matthew Love


The VERY cute HOT couple... Emma & Matt. I know, I know, I took HORRIBLE pictures...and I wish I had some better ones, because I love Emma, and would LOVE to have some great pictures of her wedding...but I was too excited...and didn't have time to fiddle with my DUMB camera. Sorry! Of course, to the left is the Beautiful Emma...sans a head...with her mom.

Our New Car

You are of the first to see and know we are getting a NEW CAR! This is our new car...its a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon GTI. It is so awesome, and has so many cool features. We get it on Friday. Leather Interior, heated seats and a cute sun-glasses holder. Those are the highlights for me. I'm sure Troy thinks other parts are really cool...but to me...that its super cute...is a VW and those above 3 features make the deal for me. I can't wait until Friday! :) I had a hard time sleeping last night, and I'm sure that I may have a hard time sleeping until we get this cute car, and then probably after that too...cause I'll be so excited to drive it! :) I can't wait. I love it!

Ok, well I have much to share, however, I have to get ready for company! We're having Shawn & Sara over for dinner.

Ciao!

Delinquent

Sorry...I have been. Every day I read all the blogs that I know about and think..."WHY HAS NO ONE BLOGGED!" and of course, I am among those. Sorry if there's anyone reading this.

Emma is getting married in 2 days. I am thrilled! I can't wait! Life has been busy. I've joined a floor hockey league...did I put that in my last post? I play my 2nd game tonight. Tomorrow is The Keg & Phantom! Then early Friday morning we are off to Saskatoon. We've never been there before, so it should be fun. I'm excited.

Is anyone else watching BB7? I just love that show. I hope Janelle wins. She's my favorite. Or James...I think one of those 2. Anyone from BB6 I'd be fine with. I think I may have to get the live feed. I know I have a sickness. Seems worth it for the low low price of $39.99 for the season. Hmmmm...

WE went to the stampede on Sunday night, we went to the concert with Starfield and Chris Thomlin & Third Day, but we left 4 songs into Third Day's set. We were too tired, and much more interested in the first two bands anyway. I love the concert. We also loved the dream home. Ironically, Troy had a hard time falling asleep cause he was imagining us living there...it was our dream home. Really.

I better go, my love is home, and we're going out to eat cause I had a really busy day today and don't feel like cooking! YEAH!

Our CUTE niece Eden...isn't she lovely...

(I love this photo add option!)

Friday Fun

Its Friday! YEAH! Another weekend is nearly here. I work Saturday's but I still feel like the weekend starts on Friday at 4:30. Tonight is poker night...wish me luck. I never do too well at Poker cause I play like my $5 is worth $500, which I shouldn't bother doing. Oh well. its super fun!

I didn't really have anything to say, just noticeed that lots of people haven't posted lately, and figured I should. :)

I love Big Brother All Stars. I hope Janelle wins. :) I love her!

Thought I'd post a photo of our fly over above Niagara Falls, since Craig brilliantly showed me how to post pictures. Thanks!

Parade Day Sleep-in

Yeah! Parade day! I don't have to go to work until 12:30pm! Most people in Calgary don't have to go to work today until then (unless of course their job is parading around the streets of Calgary). One of the perks of living in this crazy city, (as far as I'm concerned) is the Stampede Parade morning sleep-in. Unfortunately due to some snow birds (or so we thought) we could not sleep in. The sound was TOO LOUD. Does anyone know what planes were flying over? I'd like to complain. yes sure they were doing their Canadian duty for those watching the parade, but what about the rest of us who were sleeping? And it wasn't one quick fly over...it was like 12 or so. Boo.

I woke up last night at about 5am and thought someone was in my house. Unfortunately I am prone to fear...and once my mind starts thinking about something...it becomes more and more real. I was woken up because I thought I heard the girl who lives above us, walking around very hard above us. (like stamping) (we never normally hear her walk). Anyway...this went on for quite a while, and then I started to remember the story my boss told me yesterday about someone getting their house broken into, through an open patio door, and the family who lived inside was tied up and such. I then began to think that our patio door was open...and although we are on the 3rd floor, someone could climb up the balcony's of they so desired...so of course, my mind started thinking someone was in our condo. Ugh.

Anyway, finally I got up the courage to go close the balcony door and eventually went back to sleep. I should have woken Troy up. Oh well.

Well...off to enjoy my morning off work. Hmmm...what to do...

We got Damn Friesen

As many of you may or may-not know, in round one of the playoffs the Calgary Flames played the Mighty Ducks. Jeff Friesen, otherwise known as Damn Friesen was on this team. He aquired the name Damn Friesen when he made some awful move which pushed the Calgary Flames further from the Stanley Cup which we all coveted. Anyway...Damn Friesen was traded today to the Flames. How ironic is that? Or is it...that Alanis Morissette song really messed that word up for me, and I'm not 100% sure if I'm using it write...but I would say...it has similarities to rain on your wedding day,or a free ride, when you've already paid...good advise that you just didn't take, and who would have thought it figures.

Yes TROY SHOULD POST MORE! Good point Craig. I'm happy to learn that the dinner that I made this morning in our new crock pot did not burn the condo down. Its the first time I've used it, and it occurred to me this afternoon that not all electrical appliances are safe at home alone. Apparently this one is. Pheuuuuuf! :)

So tomorrow is free beef day. The company I work for always buys a cow...from one of our clients, and the boss generously divides the cow between the employees. Usually he distributes it at some sort of company sponsored event where there's food, drinks, and well...taking insurance with the people we work with. We can't help it. That's tomorrow.

Anyway, I better go check on the bread I'm making for dinner. Mmmm....fresh bread.

**Craig, how do you post those pictures on your site? The only way I know how to do it is through (crap...I forget that free download...is it smile or something...?) Anyway...the way your pics look is cool, I'd like to learn to do that!

The Long Weekend is Over

Well the long weekend didn't seem very long...when you are spending 14 hours in the car driving to-and-from your weekend...it makes it more of a LONG DRIVE rather than a LONG WEEKEND. Troy & I had fun in Kelowna. I think my road rage is getting worse. I had a few "incidents" along the road with drivers I thought perhaps needed to either get off the road entirely, or re-take drivers training, which I was willing to give them. Man some people are frustrating! Actually...most people which we encountered on the long stretch of road beween Calgary and Kelowna yesterday were quite frustrating. Anyway... *deep breath*

Back to work again. I wonder what it feels like to retire. Good I think. Imagine not having to go back to work ever? How do people do that...I need a job with a pension. Hmmm...work today was lovely...as lovely as it can get the Tuesday of a long weekend.

Oh...what I wanted to add was that Kelowna was really fun, and Troy & I have been married now over 1 month. :) We took a day at the beach in Kelowna to celebrate this. We layed on the beach, swam in the lake, and rented a sea-doo to tool around on, on the lake. It was a blast! I had such a great time! We laughed lots and even tipped it over once from my CRAZY husbands driving. I love sea-dooing.

Anyway I'm trying to be a good little wife and bake my husband some cookies. I made him beef stroganoff for dinner from scratch...(However you spell that word). Anyway...

Craig you read my blog? COOL.
