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!

Hanging out with friends

This past friday I went to go hangout with my old friend Britany, we went window shopping and then she took me to dinner at the firestone. She bought some stuff at stitches and at bath and body works. Bath and body works had a 3 for 3, so she was nice enough to let me pick out three products, which made me really happy. I got some vanilla bean noel stuff since it smells so good. I got the body cream, and the fragrance mist. I also got the cashmere glow body cream, it smells very clean which is good.

At firestone I got a beef dip and our server was her sister! It was nice to meet her, and it is amazing how different they are. Totally different personalities, different looks everything. You would not have guessed that by looking at them that they were sisters. Britany ordered a lobster brie sandwhich which she said was good and her sister ordered her the gingerbread hot chocolate which was very good as well, it also had a gingerbread whip cream that went ontop so it was really rich. 

Remembrance day weekend

This weekend I took off of school. I did my CSP test and got 86% on it so I felt like I deserved a few days off school. To take school off for a few days when that is the only thing you worry about is really weird but relaxing but I am so thankful that I did it, because I am ready to kick ass in school again. This remembrance day I took the whole day to get done all my quizzes and such in Medical Terminology and now I am caught up, just need to do the module 2 test then I am finished this module. 

Since I took the weekend off of school I decided to go to a movie and Jesse and I worked on a model car together. 

The movie that we went to go see was Thor 2, and it was better than the original Thor. It was very good and having a close up on Chris Hemsworth abs is nice as well. We went with my friend Kelsey White, she is also in the CSP program and she is from White Horse in the Yukon. It was a very good movie though. After the movie we went back to my place and talked for awhile...its always good to have friends over. 

Lastly, Jesse and I made a model car. We created a pontiac firebird...do not know the year but I will insert the pictures down below. But I found a new love to do model cars, its fun to paint them and then put them together. I am planning on buying my own model car. 

I did all the interior 

Red Deer, Kitty, and halfway done

Finally, I am getting around to this blog. It has been awhile since these events have happened. Lots have happened...it is the end of the month, which means all I have is exams again. So its a very stressful time. Jesse has been trying to find a job again after getting laid off from this shut down in Conklin...so again stressful. 

We went to Red deer to pick up the chevy cavalier that I talked about in my previous blog. Mom came along with us to bring my car home, I was so proud of her she drove deer foot all by herself! Especially since driving that road is so scary. But while we were in red deer and picked up the car we went to the mall to just hang out to let Jesse sleep. I went into target for the first time and it is really cool being in there, they have really good prices..why can't lethbridge have one? 

Then we went to go look around the rest of the mall. I got a free massage from a place that was promoting their company, it was a really good massage, it was nice because she used her palms as opposed to her fingers. It was very relaxing and nice, it got out a lot of the kinks that were in my back and neck. Then we went into bath and body works and they were giving out a free travel size lotion for anyone that entered the store, so free lotion is always nice. 

Then we went home again..That is about it. 

But guess what people? I beat my fear of driving...I actually like driving..can you believe that? I like it. I got over it, after watching mom drive through Calgary I told myself that Lethbridge driving. is not that bad, and I shouldn't complain, the traffic could be way worse.

But to introduce people to my car...

KITTY THE CAVALIER

She is a 1994..not 87..chevy cavalier and I love her. She drives perfectly...pretty good for 250 right? and she doesn't look like a granny car which I love, only thing it really needs is a stereo. 

sleeping love bug...awww 

Also I am halfway done school..yay!!

Sad? Happy? just a bunch of mixed emotions...

SAD...

I had to throw out all of my stain slides in bio..I understand we can't keep them forever because there are dangerous bacteria on them, but still they are all such hard work. I was so tempted to just go in there after class and take them, but I knew I couldn't I knew I would get sick. 

Also It would have been really cool to get a picture of all my slides but I wasn't able to..sad face..but for now this little picture below will give an idea of what they look like, but still all my hard work.... 

HAPPY...

Jesse might be coming home in a few days yay! and better yet he is giving me an early christmas present...my very own beater! I know I talked about the Jimmy but it was just falling apart, it was horrible and we sold it to someone and made a return on it so it was good for our bank. But he is getting me a 1987 chevy cavalier and the colour is green and rust...*crickets*...yeah I know, sounds like a horrible car. But we are not spending lots of money on it so if I crash it, it will only damage my insurance. 

SO hopefully we will have a pic of that for next time...until something again happens..

College tests...and hard work going down the drain

Last week I had my first college test, and I did so well. I was stressing out so bad over it, but in the end I got an 83 on it, which I think is really good considering that the class average was 71. This week too there are going to be tons of exams and college exams really are not that bad if you listen to what the teacher says will be on the exam. 

But the sad part about this about being tested and graded is that some of our work is just thrown out. For example, in our Microbiology lab, we made all these slides, stained them and now we have to throw them out. I am so tempted to go to the lab and steal one just so that I can remember that I made them. Me, myself and I made them. The coolest slide that I made was the nigrosin stain because it looked like the bacteria was glowing in the stain.

But sadly we have to throw them out because we have bacteria on them that could be very harmful to other people...bummer eh? But it was a cool experience none the less. 

Last week, Jesse also went away to a shut down for 24 days. It was sad, but your love's have to do what they have to do to make money. 

That has pretty much been my last few weeks. 

Until something somewhat interesting happens....stay tuned.
