Future Mother in laws and Edmonton!

We went to go see Jesse's mom in Edmonton. She is currently going there for her last year of welding to become a Journeyman, just get her ticket and begin another trade. They decided to rent an apartment in Edmonton for the duration of her time there and Gord decided to work in town. We went up on the friday evening since we both missed him mom so much since she lives on the island and works in the oil field all the time. 

When we got there it was hard to find her apartment at first since it is located in something like a strip mall. There was a daycare, a dance studio and a convenient store that was attached to this apartment. We eventually did find it after Jesse's mom waved us down from the street! When we got there she was already gooned and wanted to party! She tried to get us going too, but we were so tired. She thinks we are 70 years old haha. 

The funny thing is that she had a good nest on the top of her apartment building and she kept on saying this kid would scream goose. I thought it was cute, but not really believing that there was a real goose nest on their roof. But there was a real goose nest there! Saturday morning we woke up to Geese just honking away like a rooster would, it was god awful! But again hilarious! Then we followed her around doing errands, she had to get slabs of metal to practice her welds for an midterm exam in her welding class. If she had failed those tests she would not have been able to continue her class. 

We ate out at Boston pizza and they decided to do VLTS between her and Gord they had won about 1000 dollars that day. I was feeling lucky too and tried my go at VLTS, but I didn't win anything. I just watched as Jesse's mom kept on winning 250 dollars at a time. It was nice though that they paid for our lunch for us. 

It was a great time bonding with my future mother in law and look forward to seeing her again! Maybe next time not so much eating out though..

Meeting Jesse's "Aunt"

We went down to Brook's one day to update our insurance and we decided to go visit Jesse's "aunt" at the same time. Holly is really good friends with his mom and Jesse has known her since he was about 5 years old, so basically she is his Aunt. It is really cool because she owns a tattoo/piercing/clothing/tanning salon.

 I was soooo excited about this because I love piercings. I have an obsession with them, after I got my nose pierced all I wanted was more piercings and it was my opportunity to get more piercings from a good piercer! She just asked me what I wanted done and she did it! I asked to get the top of my left ear done and my second hold piercings again. It was great because she let me choose where the piercing was supposed to be even though my second piercings were really close to the first ones, she still allowed me to do that. The first ear that was pierced hurt a little bit, then the second ear didn't hurt at all. When she went to pierce the top of my ear it hurt because of the earring I chose. The earring that I had chose was like a screw because it had a flat back and you could screw on a ball. She adviced this one because the flat back didn't hurt her ear. But to get that screw part on, hurt really bad. The actual piercing itself did not hurt but it stung more. 

After the piercings we talked about what we did especially about sterilization and the health board how indecisive they are about standards etc. It was great to talk to someone that knew what I was doing and what I knew about. I was super glad to meet her and cannot wait to see her again! 

New piercings love <3

GIRLS TRIP!

My cousin Sarah invited me up for a girls weekend in Edmonton sometime last month. It was nerve wrecking because it would be my first time driving to Edmonton by myself without Jesse driving. I really wanted to prove to myself that I could do it, because Jesse just might not always be around to drive me places etc. especially when we have children. The drive was great to Edmonton, I only missed 1 turn and in return it made my travel better. I was so proud that I was able to do the drive by myself. It was sweet because Jeremiah was worried about my driving, since he didn't know if I had driven by myself to Edmonton before, sarah was worried as well but I conquered it!

We decided to go over to my other cousin Brock's house and there I got to meet Angel his fiance. She is super nice and funny! We played a card game that was similar to cards against humanity and she gave us a little preview of what a Passion party would be like, the types of lotions, the toys, etc. (I even got to buy some stuff too) 

Sarah and I later went back to her house and we stayed up practically the whole night talking and watching girlie movies that our men would not want to watch with us. It was fun!

The next day we decided to go shopping, we went to South Common at forever 21, urban planet, etc. Sarah taught me this great trick at Sephora though, she told me to lie about my wedding being in a week and that my make up artist quit on me. They then will show you techniques for free! Sometimes I just love to work the system! It was great because I got to learn a new technique for my wedding and again it is for free. I used it back home in Red Deer too, it is a fantastic technique to learn new makeup skills! 

And that was our girls weekend! It was fabulous, it was fun and it was nice to get away for awhile and spend it with my cousins!
