Christmas Holidays!

So this is what i woke up to early one morning on my way to work. It was freezing cold out, and really early in the morning. Happy Holidays!!! December 22/09















Thanks to whomever decided this would be something fun and productive to do! I walked back into my house and sat down on my bed contemplating whether i should go back to bed or figure out how to get to work. So i made a few calls to no avail. So people don't like phone calls at 6:30am!!! I called the police to report this, i called insurance to talk to a whole lot of people who didn't know what to do so they would transfer me to someone else who might be able to help. I made a makeshift window with some black garbage bags and duct tape and hoped for the best. It is really hard to see with a black window!! and cold as well driving down a highway at 100km/h.
An appointment is made to have the window fixed horray!!!
Take it in, and at this point i am thinking that i have everything under control, NOPE! I recieved a phone call from the auto glass store telling me they ordered the wrong window, but for the hassle they would fix it when i got back, and they would also give me a great deal. In the meantime they placed a piece of plexiglass to help with driving and such. I thought to myself, how am i supposed to leave my car at the airport for two weeks, with a plexi glass window, i am just asking someone to steal it. My boss being the kind person that he is gave me his vehicle, and had me park my vehicle in his garage at work. Wow, i didn't know what to say. Feeling bad that i would have his vehicle for two weeks just parked at the airport i rented a car one way to get me to the airport.
Smooth sailing now right?! I got home to finish packing, cleaning... but wait where is my passport?? I went through all of my drawers, papers, shelves... no luck. I won't lie i did start to cry. I called my boss at 11:00pm, to see if he would let me in to check in my car that was parked at work, and he graciously drove on down to let me in. No luck there as well. Driving home a bit hopless, i got home and said yet another little prayer. With some more careful looking, i found it just in time to shower and crawl into bed to get a solid 2 hours sleep before having to drive to Calgary.
But i made it and my next post will show you all of the fun we have been having!!!

What a week!!

So this year i am grateful that i actually made it to Hawaii!!! Just a brief update:
So work has been extremely busy with it being the end of the year, and people eating all the things that break teeth.
I have also had my temple assignment on saturday's, i have been busy every night with all of the little things. Laundry, getting gifts ready and delivered...
So tuesday morning came around, i walk out to my car at 6:20am to find my driver side car window has been shattered. Nothing taken from my car, but glass shattered throughout. I didn't cry but just stood with a helpless feeling. So i walked back into the house sat down on my bed, tried to find a ride to work with no luck at 6:20 in the morning. So my next phone call was to the police, then to insurance, and the next task was to get to work. So with a couple of garbage bags and some duct tape i managed to make it to work. A little late but i did make it, and boy was it cold.
I took my car in on wednesday to get fixed to recieve a phone call at work saying that they had ordered the wrong window. Awesome!!!
I have the best boss. He told me that i would leave my car at work parked in the garage and that i would take his vehicle.
I felt so bad and overwhelmed that i rented a one way vehicle to get me to the airport the next morning. I finally get home, to pack and do all the little stuff at home, thinking i am home free, NOPE just kidding, where is my passport???? Yup lost it. I looked all over the house, and that is when the tears started. Dr. Hall at 11:00pm drove down to the office to let me in to my vehicle to check, and no it was not there. I came home feeling at a loss, and kept looking. Saying multiple prayers, i finally found it, then to crawl into bed for two hours sleep. It was then up and off to the airport at 3:00am, and needless to say it was a rough ride. But i made it!!!! Some flights delayed and late, and all of my insides just screaming, i made it safely!!! Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

It has been a WHILE!!!

A brief little catch up. So i turned 29!! My birthday was good, spent with family and friends. I spent 10 days in Hawaii at the end of October. It was fabulous, very relaxing, just sitting on the beach playing with Abi and Julien, soaking up a little too much sun!!! And man did i pay for the time in the sun when i got home. I blistered, and peeled at least three times, so itchy!!! Got home and the whole H1N1 broke out and guess who got the shot, ME, and guess who got sick the very next day, ME. It was miserable, i have not been sick like that before.
I am going to be an auntie again, not to just one but two. We know for sure that Paul and Nancy are going to have another little girl, and Julie and Sterling have not found out yet.
Work continues to get busier, but it is the season for toothaches, broken teeth... my insurance is running out and I need the work done NOW!!
I still work at the temple on Saturday's, which is going great. I am continually amazed at how much i don't know.
Life in general is going well, and the next step is figuring out where too next!!!
I do know for sure I was born to be somewhere warm for sure. I am so ready to be in Hawaii again, and this next week and a half is not going to go by fast enough.
But i hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season with friends and family.
Love you all!
