Chantel Mernickle- Thank you!

Chantel Mernickle......... you can find her under awesome in the dictionary.

I can't even tell you how excited and grateful I am for the goodie that was waiting for me at Treasured Memories: a signed copy of Ali Edward's (love her, love her, love her) new book! I squealed and then said "shut up" like ten times and then I saw that it was signed and thought I was going to cry! You rock Girl! Thank you so much!

Hello Friends!

I'm not sure if it's the weather, the cold I have been fighting or the wedding plans (which really aren't all that "fun") but I am in a funk and let me tell you friends it ain't pretty! Scrapbooking, no thank you! To be honest I can't even find my table or make my way to clean it without rolling an ankle. Cleaning the apartment.... no way. Laundry....... forget it! Making a meal more involved than Kraft Dinner (which by the way is cheesier and super delicious).... not going to happen! Aughhhhhhhhhhh! I get all jacked up in the mornings to get stuff done........ too bad I'm at work! Then when I get home I melt into the couch and become one with it. What to do? What to do? I am going to have to do something major to get out of this one!

On a less whiny note..... my girlfriend Jenice got engaged in Central Park last week! Congratulations Hun, I am so so happy for you both! I am getting so much positive, loving comments about my invites and that makes me happy! I am in the works planning a surprise for Cory, can't give too much detail (hi baby) but I love doing this kinda thing and it's long over due. We never see each other, we get up and go to work together (no talking- too tired) we go to bed together (so tired- must go straight to sleep) and lately that seems to be the extent of our quality time... Boo! I'm working on it though, so that has gotten me a little excited. I got some good news at work so we're going out to celebrate on Friday ( haven't had a chance to tell you Cory- we're going to Yiannis.... whoo hoo). Then we're heading to Lac La Biche on Saturday for my grandma's birthday dinner..... Mmmm food.

There you have it friends, the latest and not so greatest with me. I hate to read whiny blogs where people complain about everything and think that nothing good ever happens to them so I apologize if that's how I came across....... just wanted to let you all know I'm here, I'm thinking about you and I'm in the beginning stages of a self improvement journey!
Hugs!
xoxo

Whoo Hooo!

It's official, I am done my wedding invitations! They are assembled, stuffed, addressed and stamped! I have lost count of the hours it took to get them completed, but we're talking well over 40 hours & let's not forget the hot, sweaty, sticky day I spent at Naomi's- thanks girl! I want to jump up and down! They're beautiful & I am so happy to be done them!

Photos from Jasper

Cory & I spent the weekend in Jasper, it was fabulous! We saw more bears than I think I have ever seen. What's even better- we saw two sets of cubs... so stinkin' cute!!! The weather was great, it only rained Saturday during the night. Here are a few pics of our weekend...Classy- red wine in a Tim Horton's cup. (I forgot to pack glasses) Cory and his girly girl drinks.
How cute is this little guy!!!
Hello Big Guy, this bear came right beside the truck!
No big deal, just climbin' a tree.
Athabasca Falls- no matter how many times I see them they amaze me.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE this picture!

New glasses

I bought two pairs of glasses over a month ago, the first pair worked out great and I love them. I got the second pair home and hated them so I have been searching all over the city for a replacement, I had 60 days to exchange the frames and I used up over 30. I finally found the winner! I love these ones too, they have bling on the sides- super cute. Here are a few silly pics Cory & I took.

My baby boy Charlie! He loves me, he loves hugs.... really. LOL.
