Havnt posted in a while

well I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I should. Nothing to exciting happening here.I have one more week of school, and we start our practicum. I am excited. We are all moved into our new place now! It was a VERY very long day and move. Just me and Trav it took us 16 hours! But we are all unpacked and everything now! YAY. The weather has been soo hot. When we moved the humidex was 41 degrees! We nearly died. Thank god in this place it is cooler, so we can't feel the heat as bad. We went to Quesnel last weekend, got to surprise Judy and Reiny!! (Travis' parents) We took them out to dinner for their anniversary. Then we went to Dwayne and Lorraine's Family reunion. The day we left I got food poisoning really bad,I didn't feel good until Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday was my 24th birthday, I had school, and then Travis and I went to dinner at Chapters View Point. It was beautiful. I am going to post some pics of the view! So for anyone who reads my blog, I know where my dad is now! I am excited just to know he is ok. I am going to try and get enough nerve to ask him to come to my grad! So he can meet Travis' parents. My mom hasnt been doing to good. We need to get her help as soon as we can! Before she gets to far. Well I gotta go for now, I will post some pics from my birthday!

Braydon Luke Tyler everyone!

Baby!!

Well I am an aunty times two! I now have one of each! Breydon Luke Tyler was born this morning at 8:16 am! He weighed 8lbs 1oz! Jason called me, and Breydon was crying so loud cause he was hungry, but couldnt eat cause Ashley was getting stitched up! I can't wait to meet my Nephew!!! Congrats Jason, Ashley and Mercede! Welcome baby Breydon!

Nothing to exciting!

So nothing to much new here. School is over in a couple weeks! Well not over over, but we start our practicum on July 16th! It will be nice! Then our final is on July 28th! Haven't really heard anything about dad yet! But we are getting there. The cop that is helping me is great! So 2 more days then I am an aunty again! And 8 days I will be 24! I cant believe I am 24! I remember when I was 3! Funny what you can remember! Anyways gonna go cool down, you can tell its summer now! Hot and muggy! Oh well! Anyways gonna add some pictures! It's neat looking at pictures when you were younger, and now!

Happy Fathers Day Dad and Jason!

Happy fathers day to my daddy and Brother Jason!! Never thought I would be saying that to Jason!! Here are some nice daddy pics!!

I cant live not knowing where he is. So it is me again who must contact him!

Well I am at it again. I am finding my dad. I am not sure what everyone will think or anything. He is my father, I cant live without knowing where he is. He is my guardian angel, my hero, I look up to him. Even at times like this. I have started something. I wont say much here. If u want to know, you can call me, or msg me. All I need is support. I dont want to hear that he doesnt care about me. Because I know he always will. Anyways wish me luck!

Baby and other things!

Yay I am soo excited! I am going to be an aunty again really soon! Can't say the date, but sometime within the next couple weeks...I am so happy for my brother and Ashley! They are awesome parents. Mercede is lucky to have them. So to my Brother, sister-in-law, and Niece CONGRATULATIONS!! Not only are they having another baby, they just bought their first house! I called him yesterday and they were just setting up, and Mercede was trying to help! She is such a doll!! I am going to go visit them in August!! Long 30 hr bus ride, but well worth it!

School is exhausting right now, I don't know why, all I want to do is sleep. Not feeling good, no energy, no appetite, Just want to sleep! Hopefully it will go away soon, I think it's from the pain I am in right now, with my tendinitis, my ankle was very swollen yesterday, and I can barely walk on it. Stupid dr's here are well...stupid. He told me there was nothing for it, so i told my instructor at school and she said there is lots, if I don't do anything now i will need surgery. And also my tooth is infected again, so I have to go to the dentist next week. Maybe once my foot and mouth heal I will be better! I hope so!!

Tomorrow we are going to go to Barrier for karaoke! There are like 10 of us regulars going. It's going to be fun! Then saturday and sunday we will clean and do laundry and pack, cause we have to move at the end of the month! We dont really want to move now, cause we made this our home, but I am sure we can make our new place a home too!
Anyways Gotta go, gonna clean up and go to bed!

Leave some comments!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss you dad

I really don't like these days:( The days when I cant get him off my mind, wondering if he's OK. I went to school today, and we talked about mental health problems, and things that lead to it. I shared my story about him, and it was very emotional. I wonder if he knows I am always thinking about him, or if he knows I have days where I cant function without knowing where he is. I had to leave school early today, I was having such a hard time. It didn't help I had a dream about him last night. I found him, and he came to live with us!! Next weekend is fathers day. I will buy him a little gift and a card, just so he knows I am thinking about him. I wish he realized how much he means to me and how much I miss him and love him! I am hoping tomorrow will be a better day. I just feel like hiding till I feel better again! Thanks for listening, who ever is reading this, and dad I miss you and love you soo much.

ooooh great

So when I got to see Ashley and Mercede 2 weeks ago my foot started swelling and it was sort of painful, I didnt think anything of it, just thought it was bad support in my shoes. But in the last week it has gotten really painful and the pain went into my heal and the other side of my foot. Feels like the bone is bruised. So I went to the doctor the other day, turns out I have really bad tendinitis in my ankle and heal! GREAT. I am wanting to go to the gym so bad, but I cant because I have to stay off it as much as I can, I got an ankle brace for support, but it still hurts like crazy. I am hoping it will get better within the next month, because I start my practicum next month. And I will be on my feet all day! ugh it's painful. Anyways Better go clean my house!! Have a gooder!!

Weight loss and stuff!

border="0">

Well I started my diet today. It has been going good. Craving carbs though, I want a piece of bread or pasta!! LOL cant have it though, it's alright, i will survive and it will be worth it in the end. Here is a list of what I ate today!

Breakfast: 1 egg scrambled
Snack: No fat plain yogurt, and 3 onion rings!:O
Lunch: Chicken salad, with hard boiled egg and fat free dressing
Dinner: Salad with mushrooms and egg, and 2 small pieces of roast beef, and lots of water.

So right now I am 224 lbs...so my scale says. My goal weight for right now is 175 lbs, It's horrible but I will do it!!

missing Dad and Jay!

Today has been a hard day. I am missing my family. I miss my dad, and Jason. I never get to talk to them, I don't even know where Dad is. Mercede and Ashley are so lucky to have Jay! He is a great guy. I got to talk to him tonight! Not for long but I did, I told him i missed him, and that I loved him! Wish I could do that with my dad! Here are some old pics of them! Brings back memories

Mercede Lynn

12 more hours

It's finally almost Saturday! LOL only if my niece knew how much Aunty misses her! I really can't wait any more! To everyone I wont be able to see this weekend, I am very sorry, I am going to be in Deroche, if anyone really wants to see me! I wont be there to long. But long enough to spend time with my niece! I cant wait. Miss you lots baby girl!

I have been updating my blog a lot. But haven't gotten any comments. So leave a comment who ever reads this, even if I don't know who you are! Thanks, I will post pics when i get back of my beautiful girl! CANT WAIT!

Can you blame me for being frustrated?

I am so frustrated right now. I just found out Ashley has been in Kamloops since the 17th, and does not have time to come see me. So she is down for a whole month, and I get to see her one day! I don't get it. I even asked her if she wanted to go for coffee or something when i get off school...she said no, im to busy, thats when my family gets home!! Great sister in law I have! I really want to see my niece. But she doesn't give 2 shits what I want. Anyways enough about that, at least I get to see them for ONE whol day! UGH Anyways gotta go have a shower and get ready for school!! Have a good day everyone!

awesome weekend! Great weather and pics!!

This weekend was great, we went to Wells Grey Park on Saturday! We got to see Helmken falls, which is 3 times taller then Niagara Falls! It was breath taking. Then we got to see Baily's Chute. It was a little hike to get there, but it was fun. Travis had a beautiful butterfly land on his finger...I think that means good luck right?? We seen about 5 deer on the side of the road. And a black bear! It was so neat. He was so close. I am going to add some pictures of the beautiful waterfalls!!

Weekend!! and Hotness

I am excited. Travis has the weekend off, and its HOT. So we were gonna be busy today, u know, house hunting, grocery shopping, wash the car, blah blah blah. Totally was not looking forward to it. So we changed our minds and are going out to Wells Grey Park for the day, for a picnic, and to take pics! I am excited. It is going to be 32 degrees today! But it looks cloudy and Windy, so it will be nice. Travis and I both fell asleep on the couches last night though, I didnt have a very good sleep. But oh well I will be ok.

Yesterday we had like 3 hrs for school. We got our 6 week evaluation yesterday, mine was good, I currently got 92% in all 6 modules so far, so I am doing good. We are going to be going into our 7th week. Yesterday after school, a bunch of girls and I went out to the old Tranquille farm, which is an old mental institution, kind of like esendale if anyone knows about that one. We walked around and looked at all the old building, it was kind of creepy because it said no trespassing all over, but we went anyways, we are going to find the owner, and see if we can go for a tour with all of our class.

Anyways gotta go get ready, gonna head out soon. I am bringing the camera so I will post some pics when I have the time. Have a great long weekend everyone!!

UGH, Summer has arrived!!

Well I think summer arrived early this year...Back to the Kamloops dry heat! It is may 15th, and it is supposed to get up to 30 degrees, and tomorrow is gonna be 32!!! I guess I have to get used to it. 32 was nothing compared to last year. Try 10 degrees hotter. I KNOW!! 42 degrees!! AHHH to hot for me. And we have labs all day at work, so I cant even wear summer clothes! Gotta wear scrubs!! Not looking forward to it. Anyways I better go, gotta get ready and go to school!

Interesting, boring and excitement

Well it's been a boring couple weeks at school, we are into the dry stuff, like measurement, blood pressure all that kind of doctor stuff. We got to go up to Kamloops Seniors Village today. It was fun, we got to play with the lifts. There has been some problems going on at school with a girl I am sitting with and I, she is a prissy girl who makes me look 10 inches tall, she treats me like a 4 yr old, and talks over me. So the instructor has been noticing it. She took me out today and talked to me about it, so hopefully tomorrow i will be ok! God people, this isnt high school again, i didn't pay 6000.00 to get treated like that. Oh well I am a big girl, and not worried about it. But who cares. Anyways we all went out for lunch today while we were up there, and someone decided to drink. BEER!! So as soon as she got back she was kicked out. We'll see if she comes back, How stupid and careless can you be?? YOUR AT SCHOOL!!!

Enough about school, my weekend was pretty boring, all i did was homework. It's the long weekend next weekend and it's supposed to be HOT!! Up to 30! And Travis doesn't have to work, so I am not sure what we are doing, I cant wait though, I like it when he doesn't work. I just realized we have lived together for a year now!! And It has also been a year since we moved from Quesnel!!

Im not sure what this world is coming too, global warming is horrible. I say that because I am watching the news, and they just showed the huge earthquake in China, and the the cyclone? Thats so sad:(

Anyways I better go, I have homework to do. WOOHOO!

Well School is going great, I got 93% on my assignment, and 83% on my exam! I am happy. I have decided where I want to work when I am done. At the Hamlets. I don't know if i wrote that before. But they have a brain injury ward for young adults, and they are desperately looking for care aides! But right now we are studying all about nutrition...and I have to create a recipe for a diabetic, and have all the ingredients from the Canada food guide, and I have no idea how to do it. I am also doing one on a pureed diet too...So if anyone can give me any tips on how to do that it would be great!!

Travis has the weekend off, and we have nothing to do!! It's going to be a sunny weekend too, so maybe we will take off for the day or something. Today is 20 degrees out!! It's so nice

Ashley and Mercede are coming to visit in 21 more days!! Yay I can't wait to see my baby girl!!!!!

Life isnt long enough to take for granted:(

It's been a sad last couple days. Jody Mckimmon passed away Friday in a car crash, she was 17 years old. Way to young to go. My best friends Grandpa is really sick with a major blood infection due to a massive heart attack. There are all these innocent people out there, who do not deserve this, and their families do not deserve it. My heart goes out to the families struggling with the losses of their loved ones. Here I am sitting here, knowing these people didn't mean for this to happen. Who knows, at this moment my mom and Ross are probably taking a hit of coke or injecting heroin. who knows what they are doing, I know it's mean to say, but thats how i truly feel. There two people right there, throwing their lives away, not giving a shit about anything else, as one innocent young girl lost her life, and one is struggling for his life. I just don't get it. To the families keep strong, it will get better!

I want to thank Travis' parents for being so great to me, I really do appreciate it

hmm

Nothing to exciting happening here the last week, I'm in school full time, Travis is working full time. We have been boring and busy! The weather has been nice this weekend, today is warm, but really windy. I went to the library to do some homework. We are getting into the harder stuff, and it's getting to be a lot of work. But If I keep up with the homework, and studying I will be ok! I can't wait to start working! There is a place here on the west side called the Hamlets. It is a seniors home, but it also has a brain injury ward also. I am going to see if i can do my practicum there, and hopefully get on full time when I am done. I just noticed here today that there is another center being built close to where we live now, so I know for a fact that there will be no shortage of jobs! Anyways back to the books for now, got another exam on Thursday!

I just want to say my thoughts are with the Mckimmon family right now, their youngest daughter, sister was killed in a bad car accident in Deroche yesterday, R.I.P Jody! She was a 17 yr old girl, just about to graduate:( My thoughts are with you!

Scared...Mad

I called my mom last night...she was totally out of it. Rambling, giggling, didnt know what she was talking about. Just sounded really bouncy and out of it. Then she started complaining about mouth sores or Ulcers...I think she is doing drugs. But I dont know. If anyone know what mouth sores are caused from? First thing I thought was DRUGS! Where did my parents go?? They raised us great and everything. But now we are older they don't give a shit. My dad decided to take off on his family and never talk to them again, and my mom decided to turn to drugs. Great parents I have! So please comment and give me some solutions or answers PLEASE!!! Thanks for everyone who has been here for me over these years. They have not been easy at all!

I dont think it's spring yet!

Yesterday was crazy. Snow...In April?? I don't get it. We went to Costco and went shopping, I told Travis It felt we were going Christmas shopping! Cause it was soo cold and windy and snowing like crazy! Today is a bit warmer, but nothing close to last weekend! 25 degrees! Big difference!! It's retarded! Anyways We are busy around the house today, I am making dinner and doing homework, Travis is cleaning and stuff.

School is going great. We have our first exam tomorrow! UGH I guess I'm as ready as I will ever be. I bought my first pair scrubs yesterday! Their purple! I put them on and got so excited! Maybe I will wear them tomorrow to give me good luck!! haha I need it! Anyways gotta get going, dinner is almost ready! Talk to you all later!

20 Years ago I think!

My cousin Liz sent me some pictures on facebook! I love them, take a look!!
I was between 2 and 4 yrs old!

is spring here?

Well I think Spring is here! Today feels like summer. Just watching the weather network, and it's 22!! YAY finally. I went shopping today, bought a skort and two tank tops! It will be nice. I am just going to clean my house today, and study a bit. I was outside all day! So NICE! Tonight we are going to Karaoke, I haven't heard Trav sing in a couple weeks! About Travis...He is looking to go to school now, when I am done! He wants to be a computer technition. I can't wait. Then we can have our careers, pay off the car, buy a house...Get married?? HAHA thinking a head of myself now! Anyways hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather!

School! And my support Team!

Well school has started! We are going on day 4 now! It's going great. I have to quit work though, I can't do both, work and school and study and homework! Just not going to happen! Something is really bugging me right now. I was told I will not have much support from Travis' family, and that they were holding me back. Well right now, they are my biggest support team. I dont want to start anything, but I am frustrated right now. Travis is a big inspiration in my life, and so are his family. I got a card from his mom, just to say congratulations. Something so simple made me get tears in my eyes! My mom hasn't even said congratulations, or OH I'm so happy for you...And she probably never will. I told her about the things I had to do about getting ready, she said it was all bullshit! But I just want to say thanks to everyone, and this blog isn't meant to offend anyone, or cause anything!

YAY, school tomorrow!

Finally it's almost Monday. I have everything done!! I am getting ancy for tomorrow and Tuesday now! Travis is coming home on Tuesday! It's been a long boring weekend! I have been super sick with this cold, all by myself here. No one to snuggle with! Oh well, I survived. I am so happy with all the support i have gotten this week about school. Work has been awesome, and very understanding. I asked for part time on Thursday. Not very much notice, I went to work today, sick and everything, turns out that I didn't have to work because I got part time. So It took 2 days for them to change my shift. Judy, Travis' mom called me today, saying she went out and bought me a bag, pens, pencils, binders and a big notebook!! So I don't have to buy anything! She also has a friend who took the course just recently, and has some books for me. So I might be able to use those, instead of buying my own...But I will probably buy my own. I knew I wanted to go to school, Just never knew when, or where. It wasn't because anyone was holding me back that I didn't go before, or anything like that! It was all me. I didn't feel ready financially. But Now I am ready, and I have so much support, especially from my boyfriend. I love you baby!! I can't wait to actually start my new life and new career. Hopefully in the next few years I can get married, and have a family, and buy a house! And just be happy with who I am with, and with Life!! YAY ME!!

Update

Well I am all ready to go to school on Monday. Got everything done yesterday. The only thing I need to do is get my transcripts! I am very excited!! I can't believe I'm actually doing it!! Travis is gone, he left yesterday. I am trying not to notice he's gone. Yesterday was ok, but last night was hard. I am sick, with a stupid cold, I don't need this right now! So with Travis being gone, and me being sick, I am just going to take it easy till Monday. Tonight I will go out to Karaoke, and I have to work tomorrow, then Monday we start school! I called them yesterday to make sure everything is good! There were 20 people signed up for the course, but unfortunately they had to bump 2 people till October! Thank goodness it wasn't me! Anyways I am going to go lay down for now, hopefully get rid of this cold! Wish me luck for Monday! I will update on how it goes!!

Stress! and Excitment!!

Well as of Monday I go to class at 8:30!! The funding isnt 100% official yet. But I will find out on Monday for sure!! I am so wanting to quit work like TODAY, I have taken abut 2 days off, and I really don't want to go back, UGH. I'm sure if i quit and dont get into school in April I could find a job easy. So we will see what happens today. I went and got my shots and my TB test yesterday, and my physical done, everything was ok, took like 5 minutes to do. The only thing he said was to watch my posture because I slouch, and I could hurt my back.

I am sad and gonna go crazy for 4 days:( Travis is leaving tomorrow to go to Quesnel till Tuesday. I am going to be so bored without him. But it will be a nice break, and it will be nice once its Tuesday!!

Anyways I have to go get ready for work now! BLAH, I will let you all know if i quit today!!

Update on School

So I went to the school today for an appointment, It went awesome! I filled out the application, and the questionare, I met with the instructor and the RCA Director. I did a written English test. I passed it all! So now I will find out Wednesday or Thursday if i got the funding. I dont think it will be 100% but they cover the tuition, I just have to pay for the book which is like 375 plus the application fee, and another 300.00 So in the end I will have to pay about 700.00 for the whole course if i get the funding! Plus I also have to get my WHMIS and Food safe. I have to get a physical, and a TB test. Geoff said that I would be lucky to get into get my TB test in 3 weeks. But when I got to work today, I called them and made an appointment and I go on Wednesday, then Friday for the results. I am missing a lot of work right now, trying to get all this done. But it's ok. As soon as I know, I will go part time at work until my student loan kicks in, I am going to see if they will pay for my living expenses. I am so excited. I knew I would get here one day, it took a long time, but it's worth it. Just think in 6 months I will have my RCA certificate, and maybe i will go into nursing! For an LPN!! MAYBE....

Anyways thanks everyone for their support it means a lot!!

OMG AHHHH

AHHH I just got a call from the School I want to apply for...I GOT 100% funding...They will know for sure of Tuesday. So I have an appointment with the program coordinator and I am going to fill out my application, and get my transcripts and all this stuff within a week. Then if it all goes well, I will start class on Monday April 8th, 2008. WOW when i heard that I am being funded I had tears in my eye!! YAY. I will work Convergy's part time, to pay for my living expenses! Keep your fingers crossed for me, I will let you all know on Tuesday If I am in!!!

My new friend!

So, I have made a new friend this past week! He is an awesome guy, and I look forward to talking to him every day. I think he will be my new inspiration in life, and in my career a head of me! No, it's not what you think! He is special needs, and very brilliant! he is 18 years old, and lives with his mom. He likes to spend time in his "office" when he is not volunteering at the seniors home! He wants to be a mentor to other special needs kids, and he also made his own website on special needs awareness. When he is done school he wants to work at a camp in Kelowna. Anyways I thought I would share a little about my new friend! His name is Krystian! Anyways enough talking now, must clean my house! Have a great weekend everyone!

Hmm.

Nothing to exciting going on here! The dentist went great. The tooth is healing, and finally getting the swelling down. I go back on Tuesday for a cleaning and the rest of the root canal. Then I will be done with that for 4 months! YAY.

It's funny, I was just going through all the posts on my blog. So many things have happened in my life in the past 2 yrs. And I am glad everything happened. Because if some things didn't happen, I wouldn't be where I am, or who I am with. It's pretty amazing how your life changes all of a sudden. I think there is a reason for everything. I believe what happened in October of 2006 happened for a reason, and in May of 2007 happened for a reason. I am happy where I am today. I love Travis, and I love Kamloops, and work isn't going to bad. AND I'm going to school in October. I have grown in so many ways in the past 2 years. But I have also been through some stressful times also. But all was worth it, because it brought me here. Sorry I'm just rambling on now.

So tomorrow is easter. And I have to work! Thats alright though I guess. Gonna go to shoppers and buy some chocolate for everyone tomorrow! We are going to Cliff and Linda's tomorrow for dinner. He's our Elvis in town! LOL hes neat! They got all excited, and invited us over for roast and Yorkshire's haha not sure if thats the right spelling.

Tonight we have a date night! And I am VERY excited. We are going to Milestones and then a Movie, then we are going to go to Karaoke! I love Saturdays with Travis!

Anyways gotta go for now! Happy Easter, and have a great weekend!

UGH

I have to go to the dentist today! Not looking forward to it. Mona Vie is still in the thinking. Thanks for the comments...when you leave an anonymous comment, leave you name! Please, I dont mind the comments, I just want to know who is reading my blog! Thanks and wish me luck today!

Mona Vie!

Has anyone heard of the drink Mona Vie? It is a super awesome drink, with lots of nutrients and vitamins, you only need 4 oz a day, and 2 oz is one serving of fruit. It sounds like an awesome drink, and I would love to try it. Travis and I are thinking of selling it through a business called T.E.A.M. The more people you get to join, you and the other people will make money off of it. We are just thinking about it right now, but it sounds like a good opportunity. If you really get into it, you could be making 52000 and up a year! Some people have become millionaires from this thing. If we really get into it, it could be our home business. Here are some websites if you are interested! Let me know what u think!

YAY for school!!

GUESS WHAT?? I applied for a student loan, so I can go to school next month!! I am so excited. I was going to wait till October to apply, but the lady from the college called me yesterday and asked me If i was still interested! I said of course, but I was worried about the funding. So she said apply for a student loan, and test the water and see what they will give me! So I did it! Now I just have to fill out the application for the college, and try to figure out how to get my transcripts! Not sure how to go about that yet. But I am VERY excited. I could hardly sleep. They are looking for resident car aids so bad, that the government is willing to give back 2500.00 when the course is done, and I think Convergy's has a tuition reembersemnt. Travis is VERY excited for me! yay. His mom is going to come over today and help me fill out the application. So the class begins April 8th, and we graduate September 26th! Anyways I have to go get ready. Judy will be here soon, We are going to the cowboy festival! Anyways anyone have any advise leave some comments!!

Dental Work!

So I finally went to the dentist, I have not been there in years. I have an abscessed tooth that needs to be fixed. He couldn't do it then because of the infection, my tooth was so swollen. So I have to go in for a root canal, I'm a little worried about that. I hate the feeling of being numb! But it will be worth it, I am going on the 17th, then the 25th so they can finish it. It's nice because I have an excellent dental plan at work, 100% covered for stuff like fillings and root canals. Then 80% for caps and stuff. So that is why I am getting it done now. Then after all this is done, he's going to refer me to the orthodontist, and try to get the gap closed in my teeth. Well after not being to the dentist in literately years, he says I have good teeth. I was happy to hear that. They took x rays and stuff yesterday, maybe there will be more work done when i go back, so we will have to see! YAY no more pain!!

I am missing my family a lot lately, I just talked to Jason on the phone, and he said they will not move back here anytime soon, they are buying a house:( I mean good for them, but I will never see the kids, and the probably wont even know who Aunty Sarah is:( Hopefully they will. I posted some of my favorite pics of them, and us! I can not wait to see if they have another girl, or if they have a boy, It would be super special if they had it on my birthday.(She is due July 6th, and my birthday is July 2nd) Anyways hopefully I will get over missing them.
Gotta go for now, makin cookies, and I have to start Dinner soon, Back to work tomorrow!

Update, It's been a while

Well It has been a while since I posted, so I thought i should now!
So! I joined the YMCA. I went 3 times last week, I have been trying to eat healthy, but DAMN it's hard. Next week I plan on going Monday to Friday! And eat healthy. We went grocery shopping yesterday, and didn't buy any junk food. Only for Travis, because he doesn't need to eat as healthy as me. I am very excited. And I have so much will Power this time! I am sick of being the weight I am. Right now I know I am 214 lbs. Never pictured myself weighing over 200 lbs, but I let myself go. My goal right now is for people to notice I have lost weight. We are probably going back home for Easter, so I want people to notice then. Right now my long term goal is 160 lbs and a size12-14...So If anyone has some good healthy easy to cook recipes let me know!! I will try to update on this more often. Maybe start a fitness blog.

Travis was in a Karaoke contest, and he made it to the semi finals, but someone beat him last night, He did great!

Mom and Ross came for a surprise visit the other weekend, It was nice to see them. Well my mom anyways. Ross was drunk the whole time pretty much. But we did have a good visit with them.

I'm sure there is a lot more to update about. Can't think of it though. I gotta go make breakfast. Omelette's and Fruit. Take care, I have pictures to post soon. Feel free to comment and leave some yummy recipes !

Weekend, Weather, Gym...blah blah blah

OMG, last night we went out and had a Yukranian New Years with some friends. We decided to go after all. It was so neat! When we got there they did a ritual welcome song and dance, with the Violin, a potato, piece of pickled herring and a shot of Vodka! It was neat. Then we had dinner! Holey talk about a lot of food! Pirogies, Sourkrout, cabbage rolls, meatballs, EVERYTHING. It was great! We visited with everyone for a while, then it started snowing really hard, and some guy was attempting to drive down the driveway and went in the ditch, the driveway was super long and snowy!

Well we we had a cold spell here for a week or so, wind chills up to about -35. To cold for me! But we got over it, now it has warmed up, and snowing lots!

I got my results back from my blood test! And NO I'm not pregnant, and my Thyroids are fine also. So I guess that means I have to just keep my self active and healthy, to get my energy up! I had to cancel my Curves membership because it interfered with my hours at work. I was unable to go. But I am going to start going to the pool's gym. It's an Olympic size pool, it has a really nice gym with a great view, a really big indoor track! I really want to start running again! It is like 5.00 for drop in, or a 34.00 membership fee, and the hours are great! They are from 5:30am till 11:00pm. So I can either go first thing in the morning, or after work. Or even go twice a day! I am excited.

Well I better go, got lots of cleaning to do!

School...Work...everything else!

So! I finally got a call from the school today. Thompson Career College! For the resident care Program. I have an appointment with them on Tuesday at 8:00 am Tuesday morning, I am very excited, and a little nervous. I really want to go to school, I know I will have to take a student loan though. It is only 6000.00 though. So hopefully they will give me some advice when i go to the meeting with the school.

I am still feeling sick and no energy. I am sick of it. I get plenty of sleep at night, then I come home for work, and sometimes sleep then till Travis comes home. I got my blood work done today, hopefully they will find something. When they took my blood I was of course cold and Tired. So my veins were very hard to find. She asked if I was having a rough day, because I was tired and cold...I had to say no, because I'm used to it. Thus the reason for the blood test. So I will know by Monday if it worked or not.

Work is stressful. But its going Ok. I really done like being yelled at! But Oh well.

We got invited to a Yukranion New Year on Feb 1st...Not sure if were going yet. Travis has to work till 9:00, and another reason...someone will be there, not sure If I want to deal with it anymore, I want to stay away from them...I wont say anymore about that. If you want to know, just ask. We went to Karaoke Last Saturday night, and Travis sang the River by Garth Brooks! AMAZING JOB!!!! Maybe If our camera will let us put movies on the computer, i will post one of him singing, and you can hear him~ He is awesome!!!

I posted a montage of me and trav, and some family!

Blah

I have been feeling really achy and sick lately, yesterday I woke up with sore shoulders and just stiff. Today my back is achy and crampy. So Friday I am going to get my blood work done. Hopefully they can find something. I really want to go to the gym, but just don't have the energy. I just want to sleep! Anyone have any suggestions to get my energy back??
