life in Kamloops

Well I have some worrysome news. Dad is missing again, not sure where he is, no one has seen him at the shelter in over a month. I am mad, and worried. Mostly worried. All I can say is I am happy I got the chance to see him in July, and that Travis got to meet him. Because now I dont know the next time I will see him again. So please keep my dad in your thoughts, and hope hes ok! Thanks!

So life here in Kamloops is good. We are both working lots. I got a great shift, 9:00 am to 5:30 Pm. I still dont like getting up early, but its not as bad as 3:30. Travis is working 12:30-9:00pm. He has requested earlier shifts, but has not gotten them yet. I am working on getting my license. It is hard because I dont have anyone to drive with. We do have a good driving school that costs abuot 1200.00, but I cant afford that right now. But it sure would help to get my License. It was Travis's birthday last month so I decided to buy him concert tickets to go see Aaron Lines. Its going to be an awesome concert because it is at the Sagebrush Theatre, and it only holds like 800 people, I think a bit less!! So when I bought thoes tickets, I also bought another set of Tickets to Paul Brandt. That one will be awesome too. Aaron Lines is on November 7th, and Paul Brandt is November 30th!! I get weekends off from work, and Travis usually has to work them. But he gets this coming weekend off, and we are taking a trip to the Wildlife park!! And maybe go Karting on sunday. It'll be nice to spend some time with him!!

So I have decided to join the gym!! We are planning on going to Hawaii next winter, and I want to wear a bikini or something!! Or at least look good. I am going to join the YMCA. They have one right down the road from us. I could go 5 days a week, after or before work!! I need to eat healthy, but dont know what im supposed to eat. If anyone has tips they would like to share, please do. Once I get motivated I will post before and after pics. Maybe a pic every month. Just to get me going even more. I need all the support I can get!!

Gotta go for now. Please keep my dad in your thoughts, and feel free to comment!!

Amazing

Its amazing how life works. One is Born, one dies. Its just amazing the plans god has for us. I say this because Grandpa Joe passed away on Wednesday. Grandma Gwen just passed away exactly one month ago on Wednesday. They are together again. Being together for 60 yrs, and then nothing, would be so hard. I believe grandpa went to be with his wife. I am happy they are together again. I love you grandma and grandpa fouty!! Just want to say Happy Birthday to Jeremy and Jason for today, and Happy Birthday to Jen for tomorrow!!

Thanksgiving

Well we had a really nice thanksgiving. Even though the weather was rainy and wet. It was still nice. We went to Travis' parents house. It was nice being home. The first night we were there we slept till 11:15 in the morning. We have never done that! We got to see my mom, and our friends Dwayne and Lorraine. Travis sings with them. The dinner was AMAZING. Couldnt eat it all though, there was so much, and i was sooo full. We got to go out for lunch with the friends that set us up!! Its funny looking back, almost a year ago. I want to say congrats to Starla, Lawerence, Gabriel, and Noah on your new addition to the family. Baby Lily!! She is adorable! I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving.

Excitment and Frustration

Well I dont know what to say, some people make me mad. I dont care if this person reads my blog or wat. Me and Jeremy broke up almost a year ago. You have to realize I have moved on, I dont follow your life like a book, so quit saying shit about me, I have never done anything to you guys. Jeremy is with YOU not me. SO SHUT UP, and why don't you grow up a bit. Sorry If I have offended anyone. This person thinks I am snooping around and tracking everything they do. Well I'm not. So Tasha enough about the bullshit.

Anyways We are going to Quesnel for the weekend! I cant wait. Turkey and Family! YAY. Travis' parents are selling their house. I am going to miss it there:( Oh well. I get to see my mom and ross too, and my Kitty!! Maybe I will sneak him home this time...SHH, lol. And we get to show off our new car. Derek, Travs brother wanted to trade us cars for the weekend, cause he has a Honda Prelude. But I dont know if we are going to switch. I died my hair platinum blonde! It looks really good. Oh well I am going to go now.

Its amazing how times change

Here are 2 pics of dad and I. I just thought it would be neat to compare pics, from 3 yrs ago, and now. I am all grown up now, and you can sure see how dad has changed too, he looks different. i LOVE YOU DADDY

ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM

Well We finally bought a car!! I know what some of you are thinking. Buts its a good car, and we can afford it, We got a Mazda Protege5!! 2003 It was $15995, BUT...We Traded Travs car in and got 3000.00 for it. So that Knocked it down to 12 something. Its a nice car!!

I just got home tonight, went to my mom and ross' for 3 days, for the funeral. Got to meet lots of ross' family. We had a nice service for Grandma Gwen. I feel so bad for Grandpa Joe, my mom is going to be taking care of him. Making his meals, washing his clothes, all that kind of fun stuff, Eventually he will be put in a home and someone else can do it for him. Grandma and Grandpa Fouty were married in 1945. I could imagiane being married that long, and then losing them. Grandpa is strong and he will be ok. But yesterday seeing the look on his face just broke my heart.

Anyways back to work tomorrow. Get to see Travis in 2 HOURS!! YAY

Here is a pic of our car!!

Sad

Well I just got some good news and some horrile news. Good news, My step sister had her baby!! Congrats Amber, Ryan and Pierce! Welcome baby Cohen. I bet hes cute. Bad news...Grandma fouty passed away the same day Cohen was born. Gradma Fouty was another grandma to me, she is Ross's mom. I am so lucky I got to meet her, and spend the says with her as I did. I even got to spend 2 Christmas' in a row with her. She was a great lady, wasnt scared to say anything. So please keep Grandpa Joe in your prayers, hope he copes with his loss, they were married 60 yrs, I couldnt even think of that. Anyways. One good note, Its Travis' birthday tomorrow, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNNY!!

School

So I think I might have plans for the year!! I am going to try my hardest to achieve them. I just found a Community Collegs in Kamloops that offers Resident Care. And it starts next April. I submitted my online application, Im not sure what will happen next. Maybe they will call me and get some testing done. I will work full time till april and save save save, so i can actually pay for school, and not take a student loan. So we will see wat happens when they get a hold of me, I will keep you all updated though!!

Goodbye

Well tomorrow is the day Jason and Ashley move:( I am happy for them, but it sucks. It takes about 18 hrs to get to Fort Nelson. So hopefully a bus ticket wont cost to much money, so I can go visit them. I want to be there to see my neice grow up. I really dont want to be 18 hrs away from them. But I guess thats life. Love you Jason, Ashley and Mercede!! We will miss you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I know my recent posts have been about my dad. But today is his birthday. He is 48! So just wanted to say happy birthday daddy!!

Tattoo

pics

here are some pics of me and my daddy!! I finally got my tattoo, its a guardian angel and it says daddys little girl! I will post a pic when i get one!

work, heat and babies!!

Well work is going good, getting busy and kind of boring. Talking to grumpy Americans can be kind of stressful but funny at the same time. Some of them come up with the funniest ideas. Today I had one guy call in and ask for his membership fee waved, and if i couldnt wave it he was going to cancel his card...LOL anyways enough obout that.

It has been pretty cool here, the weather hasnt been to bad, except today, it was 36. Way to hot for me. There is a forest fire up on the hill, i was watching all the bomber planes and hellicopters trying to put it out. Hopefully they got it a ll out. This weekend is supposed to get really hot too. But we are heading to Quesnel for the weekend, to visit family and some friends, and hopefully it will be cooler there then it is here, we are leaving tomorrow (friday) and coming back sunday!

I talked to my mom tonight, she said Mercede is Crawling and getting into things. I guess the other day she climbed out of her crib and went into the kitchen and got into the cat food!! Kids are so funny. Its amazing how fast they grow. Jason Ashley and Mercede are moving to Ft. Nelson soon:( Whiche is 16 hrs away from Aunty. It sucks, but I'll have to make some special trips to go spoil my neice a couple times a year. They are coming to Kamloops hopefully the 3rd of aug, then i can see them!!

Anyways enough for now. Hope everyone is well, have a great weekend! Leave some comments, its always neat to see who reads my blogs!!

Havn't blogged in a while

well things are going pretty good here in kamloops, except the heat, not used to that. Not sure if I will. The other day it was about 40 degrees. Work is going good. Finallu used to getting up at 4:30, I took 2 hrs of calls today, and probably like 2 more hours tomorrow, and hopefully the rest of the week. Its pretty neat. My birthday weekend was awesome, went to the family reunion and got to see so many people I havn't seen in a long time. I got some nice pictures of me and my dad, and travis and my dad. It was so nice seeing him again, he looks really good. I will post pictures when I can!! Well I should go, we are at the library and running out of time. We are supposed to get the internet hooked up on saturday, then I can post more!! Take care and talk soon!!!

Birthday Wish!

Well we arrived in New west today, Staying at Jason and Ashleys for the night. Then tomorrow we are heading off to the reunion, I am very excited to see everyone!! I cant wait. My birthday is on monday, July 2nd. I told Travis I wanted one thing for my birthday, and that was to see my dad. And I got to see him!! It was so awesome. I was shaking and almost crying before we even found him. I walked in and seen him sitting at a table, and he seen me I could see the instant tears in his eyes. My birthday wish came true. So we had lunch with him, and sat outside for about 2 hrs just talking. I got pictures and stuff that I will add when I get my computer up and running!! I get to spend the weekend with Jason and Ashley and my beautiful neice mercede. I have pics of her too that I will add. I am going to go though, I am getting tired. Hope everyone is well, talk soon!!!

Kamloops and stuff

Well we found a place to rent today, we are moving in on saturday. I am excited. Weather is really hot here, sometimes to hot but it's ok. Kamloops is a really nice place, I am happy here. We went to Quesnel last weekend. Suprised our friends who Travis sings Karaoki with. They were pretty excited. I start my training next monday, at 5:45 am. Not looking forward to that, buit I will get used to it. Mom is doing good in mission. She is going to be going back to Quesnel in about a week, to start over with Ross. He has been going to rehab and getting counselling. Which is good. But I think it is to soon for my mom. Her and Aunty Colleen went to see my dad today, hopefully that went ok. I'll call her tonight and see, and I will post more. We are going to the family reunion in 2 weeks. I cant wait to see everyone. Well I have to get going. Hope everyone is well. Take care and talk soon!!

Good luck Mom!!

Well I stayed at Travis's parents last night, we are in town for a wedding. Got to see my mom, which was very nice. I got a phone call this morning at 4:30 from my mom. Didnt really know what was up so I called her back, She decided to leave Ross. I am sending her on the bus today at 11:05 am, and she should be in Abbotsford at 7:05!! I am so happy for her words cant even describe. It has taken her 4 yrs almost to the date to realize she wasnt happy. I am so thankful my mom got enough currage to leave that loser. She will be in a happier place, and get her life in order again. Keep my mom in your thoughts, and wish us lots of luck. I will keep you posted about everything!! Thanks so much everyone

Convergys

Well Travis and I both got a job at convergy's. I am going to be an american express consultant, and Travis is a computer tech. I will be doing 5-6 weeks of training, and Travis will do 3 weeks. Then we will be qualified to work. I am so excited!! I will be making 11.55 an hr to start. Kamloops is a really nice place. We are going to go to the reunion only for 2 days tho, we can only get the Saturday and Sunday off. But thats ok, as long as I can go for at least one day. I cant wait to see everyone, and camp, I havent been camping in sooo long! It'll be lots of fun. Well hope to see everyone there!! Take care

In Kamkoops

Well we have decided to move to Kamloops. Unfortinutly things did not work out in Airdrie. Jen I am so sorry that things had to end so soon. My stay there was awesome, it was nice to get to know you again, and to meet the kids. I cant wait to come back and visit. Things are going to work out just fine for me here in Kamloops. I dropped a resume off at Gonverys yesterday, which is a big telecomunication centre, and they reemberse you for schooling. So I am hoping I will get a call in a day or two. They have 3 colleges here, Sprott-Shaw, TRU, and Another one with just health courses. I am hoping to apply at sprott-shaw. Travis and I are going to the family Reunion in July, I cant wait to see them. I'm kind of worried though, not sure what they are going to say about everything. But hopefully we can put all that aside and have a great time. Thanks so much everyone for their support. I will keep in touch with everyone. Take care and talk soon!
