Happy new years...and New year Commitments!

Happy new years everyone! What is everyone's resolution or solution to the year or commitment? What is mine you ask?

1. I want to stop stressing myself out too much when I feel like I am getting angry to fast..I just need to count to three and let it go. I need to find my balance this year, and be the sweet girl that I know I am. 

2. I need to learn to appreciate the things that I have. Everyone always more or wants bigger things but we do not realize the things that we have in our life and the things that we take for granted. Maybe I can do some volunteer work this year to learn to appreciate the things I have more. 

3. Be healthy. Everyone has a resolution to lose weight lose weight lose weight. But my goal is to be healthy both in body and in mind. I want to feel like myself again, I would like to fit back into some of my "skinny" clothes and learn to love myself again by doing things that will make me healthy. 

4. I want to accomplish everything that I set out for myself last year that I began to embark upon. Such as graduating my program, excelling in my practicum, getting my driver's license, going to Edmonton and saving up for the car of my dreams. 

Those are my resolutions this year and I wish everyone a merry 2013 and hope to bring 2014 in with a bang, much love and appreciation for everyone in my life.

I hope you all have the best year you have ever had, I sure hope that I will. 

CHRISTMAS! (well technically christmas eve...still can't wait to open presents!)

Today was our christmas in our house because tomorrow is Jesse and my day together that is my christmas present to ourselves..Some alone time! But we opened our presents today, we ate junk, we went to grandmas, you know all the crap you do on christmas day we just rewinded and did it on the eve of christmas. 

Well we opened our presents to each other. Jesse got pretty much the same things that I did a mug, a gift card to timmy's (mom's enabling our addiction!) Some pj's by his favorite brand of cola...you know it..its the pepsi. He got some stocking stuffers such as bacon flavored mints, and he got some sweaters and a house coat from yours truly. 

We got mom a watch a phone book..since she lost hers. She got pj's herself and pretty much the same as us. 

After we opened presents we went to Smitty's for some breakfast. Mom had some eggs and pancakes, I had eggs benedict (craving for like 8 months but I just never got around to it) and Jesse got a beef dip. 

Later on we went to grandmas, and we helped her move her freezer, we changed the TV from her room into the living room since hers strangely stopped working...which is weird. We played  crokinole (had to google how to spell that) and Jesse completely annihilated us. He had the highest score of us all and grandma was surprised how competitive he was. Grandma got us some fun stuff too like a gift card to the movie mill, and lots of chocolates (got to try merci chocolates for the first time and I think I have a new favorite) It was so much fun, later we went to go check out Sweet Ideas which moved to behind my grandmothers building it had so much cool stuff. They had the biggest jaw breaker I have ever seen...and the most expensive. 

But that was pretty much our christmas it was small, it was perfect and I couldn't have wished for anything more expect for my sister being here, which she will be in January. So although in the last few weeks, I thought that christmas would be ruined by everything that has happened, but just by these two days it has been the best ever! Lets hope that that streak continues and that it will lead up to a good new year!

Merry christmas everybody! 

December

This month sure has had both its highs and extreme lows. 

This month: we pretty much got our mustang stolen, we moved to the new apartment, and I finished school. 

Mustang:

So we went to Calgary to go trade our mustang to this guy for a Ford F-250. We test drove it, but did not test drive it on the highway. There were so many red flags, and we signed the mustang over to him. Once we got onto the highway the RPM's were going 4000 for only 80km. That simply was not good, and when we got it home it just stopped working entirely, so the stupid fuck that lived in Calgary pretty much just walked away with a free vehicle that Jesse loved so dearly. We definitely learned our lesson, if there is at least one flag with a vehicle do not buy it. We should have realized what he was doing when he lied about the kilometers on the add it said 250 K when it was really 350 K. But all we were thinking about was we need a vehicle because it was snowing and the mustang was rear wheel. It was such a shame and we learned something from it. 

New apartment:

We moved on the 16th into the new apartment and just in time. On the friday before the move I had called the Edmonton office for Midwest highland park homes or some shit like that to complain about the ladies in Lethbridge only to learn that she is even more of a dumbass then they are. 

The new place we really like, it is extremely quiet and the lady that works here is really nice. Our apartment is nicer than we thought it would be too, yes we do get the occasional pot smell but that is ok. The move was irritating and we do not have the house set up fully but we have some christmas stuff out. We decorated our gingerbread house and tree so it feels more like home. It is really nostalgic being on the south side though from where I grew up, but I know it is a good neighbourhood and if we wanted we could get a dog. 

School:

I passed school all with B- and one A-. I am so proud of how I did and now I start my practicum on February 3rd and go till March 28th. I am so excited to start it, and right now I am just trying to find a job. So wish me luck!
