Well last week was an interesting one Ill tell you that!  Dave was working in Trail from Monday till Friday, so i was home all week by myself (which was fine, cuz when he was on the rigs, he was usually working 2 weeks at a time, so just 5 days was no problem!).  And on Monday our fridge wasn't working properly to keep our food cold (more importantly my Pepsi!!), but our freezer was fine.  Luckily I didn't have much in there and was able to use our landlords mini fridge that they have out in the garage (which is our entry way into our place).  So on Friday i had my friend Anna's batchelorette party to go to, so I saw Dave for about 30 minutes once he got home.  And that was alot of fun, but I had a really hard time relating to some of her old high school friends.  I was the only one who didn't go to college/university after high school, so our lifestyles were quite different.  (if you are wondering why i haven't gone to school yet, its because i haven't decided what i want to do.....and i don't want to waste money if i decide otherwise).  But i love dressing up so it was fun!
then on Saturday Dave was going out camping/fishing, but i wanted to spend some time with Han before she went to school.  Oh and the fridge got fixed on Friday, and our landlord moved all our frozen food into their deep freeze that is on the deck.  In the afternoon, i NEEDED a Pepsi, but also wanted some ice, so i attempted to go to the deck.  the landlords have 2 dogs, and at the time were looking after 2 more.  Over the fence I pet the dogs, and just had my hand out, and one (that they are looking after) bit my hand!  He didn't puncture the skin, but it hurt, and i had red marks on my hand all day!  So no ice for me!  that evening we went to watch the races at the track in town, and we had a blast, it wasn't as hot as we thought it would be, it was just great!
Then on Sunday my friend got married, and she looked just gorgeous!  It was nice to see her so happy, I just wish i could have been part of the day.   the reception was alot of fun too, the food was great, and so was the company!  Dave was beyond sweet to me that night!  the dance had started and Dave and i went outside the venue (the deck overlooks paddlewheel park, and okanagan lake) on the deck, and just looked at the stars, and it was so great to share those moments with him.  He knew the day was a little bit hard for me so he made sure i was always okay. 
Oh goodness, well that's my week last week!  And I love my Bucky!!

What was his Mission?!

So at work tonight something kinda odd happened.  There is this guy that often comes in the store....and takes a really long time deciding what he wants.....then talks so quietly you can barely here him.  Hes really short....I`d almost guess just under 5 feet.  So anyways he comes in tonight....and I can here some music....and also music from the radio on.  And then theres this guy standing at the counter.....with his cell phone around his neck.....with the "mission impossible" theme song playing.  He has a dead serious look on his face....and is sorta tapping his foot.  My co worker helped him.....but had to leave cuz she was laughing so hard.  Another customer said once the guy left that the guy was having a "mobile party". 
I was talking with my co worker about it.....and we just wondered who listens to that kind of music while they are going to a convenience store to get smokes?!?  Has he not heard of headphones? 

Just thot I`d share my interesting evening!

Cooking Lessons!!

For some reason everytime I try to make a new meal for Dave and I....its a big deal to me.  Recently Ive come to the realization, that Dave needs to have meat with every dinner meal.  And....Id be perfectly fine eating chicken forever.....but I have to branch out for his sake.
Tommorow im going to try and make ground turkey chilli, Im hoping it turns out really good!  My mother in law made some this way, and it was fantastic!  I am sure it will taste great!
Starting in September once we get back in the swing of things again, my mom is going to help me out.
She realizes the issues I have with cooking a variety of `meaty`meals.  So we are going to get together and cook together once a week!  I am really excited to start looking thru the recipe books I have and try new things, and I know it will make Dave really happy!

Although, I could cook up some kraft dinner and throw some bacon in, or whatever.....and Dave would be happy to eat it.  Haha I think he just likes that I make the meals!!

Excited!!

Childhood Memories

So I was listening to that song by Taylor Swift...."I never wanna grow up"....Or something like that.  And it always gets me thinking about when I was a kid, and what I love/miss about back then.  So...Im making a list on here of those things!  If you havent noticed....I LOVE LISTS!

::My Childhood::
:The sound of the truck's breaks when my Dad would come home
:Playing in the kitchen with my barbies and their Jeep/picnic table
:Lawn mower rides in the little trailer...with no back at my grandparent's
:The smell of "evergreen pine" air fresheners in my Dad's truck
:Disney movies....and being scared of the wolves chasing Belle (in the beauty and the beast) and hiding behind the couch with Amanda
:Pushing Hannah in her little pink car
:Baby Tina/my orange cat Cory
:Daycare field trips
:Auntie Debbie and Auntie Gail's cabin they would rent out in the summers
:Riding in my Dad's old truck, and standing up looking over the dash....and drinking chocolate milk.  That is one thing I truly wish I could have done more of. 
:Playing in the front yard in the snow all bundled up
:Playing in the backyard....running around barefoot (even to the store)
:Coloring barbie coloring books
:Drinking Pepsi at my grandma's house and how it tasted different than at home
:The Dance of Joy before Hannah came home from the hospital

I just hope my children have as good a childhood as I did!  What is something you miss/love from when you were a kid?

Im a hoarder...

THE PERFECT FRIDGE: Filled with cold Pepsis!
Haha I dont drink them all day long, but for some reason.....I hoard them, and I like to always have lots in the fridge.  Does anyone else hoard anything?

Sheep Farm!

The other day I went to the store and had some extra time to kill, so on my way home...I decided to drive down my favorite road in town (Old Kamloops road).  I like it alot, cuz there are TONS of wood houses, and at the very end of the road there are about 20 baby sheep....and a few adult ones.  So to me its very worth the drive!
This time, I got to the end of the road.....and there were no babies.....just the adults, so I'm thinking they may have died, guess Ill wait til next year to see new babies.

So on the way back....I was thinking that I'm 23...and married.  So then I was thinking what on earth would i be doing right now if I wasn't married and all settled in Vernon?  And then something popped into my head!  Jared told me there are a ton of sheep farms in Whales.  I thought maybe I would move there....live on a farm, in a little cabin-type house (all Id really need is a functioning bathroom and a fridge for my Pepsis!) and be a Shepard girl/helper.
The only issue Id have would be the "slaughter day".....for those days I will call in sick!  Maybe I would have lived there for a year...
It was fun to have a little dream for the day!



Also, Dave said when we have our own place (with a little bit of land) I can get a few sheep, only if he can get some geese!  He says they are funny....so I agreed!!!

Its funny, cuz there are two ways from my house to get into town, and on both routes there are sheep!  One time I asked Dave if anyone else goes a certain way just to see sheep.....and he said no.  Haha!

Where Do They Find These People?

I have been watching "My Strange Addiction" for both seasons now.  And one thing I always wonder is how something can start out as a LOVE, then turn to an OBSESSION, and then spiral into an ADDICTION.  I also wonder where they find these people for the shows.  Do they write in to the show, with their weird addictions?  Also, the thing is every single time I tune in, the "addictions" are always the weirdest things you would never think of.  Another thing I wonder, is why people volenteer themselves to be filmed while they do these weird things....like eating rocks/pottery/couch cushions/cigarette butts/corn starch/comet.....having a real life doll as a wife/taxidermy/rats.....and whatever else. 
To me it seems as if their families/friends have no clue about these addictions.  And then they broadcast it across the world on TV for EVERYONE to see.  But really where do they find these people for the show?!  And one more thing.....this show is definetely not a dinner time show.  I have felt sick to my stomach numerous times, while watching.

Maybe the show's message is that anything can be an addiction?!
I admit I am drawn to it, to see the next crazy addiction/person.
