2.5 month update
It’s been almost 3 months in our lovely house and it’s been pretty great but some things haven’t gone as planned (i.e. car breaking down, putting in a front lawn so early, etc) and some things aren’t going as planned (i.e. bar, 2nd bathroom, etc). But it’s still be a good time. We are doing everything but what we should be doing it seems (well except paying down student loan, we are still managing to do that! Not something I will sacrifice). I will admit, I still have the same boxes to unpack that I had months ago. They are just sitting there. There is nothing on our walls, heck…

First Bloom!!
I came home from work on Tuesday and what do I see?! A beautiful flower that we planted the other weekend and it bloomed! It’s a lovely shade of yellow. It’s not orange and not the typical bright yellow. It’s perfect. The picture doesn’t accurately portray all the colours. It’s all my crackberry can do. I didn’t have access to my camera so I have to work with what is at hand! But still, you can get the gist.

Should be
I should be sitting at home in NS getting ready for Carli’s bachelorette but here I am in AB. Alone. Waiting for John to get home from work….work that wasn’t supposed to be today. But that’s the life of a wife who’s husband is a really good field EIT. Oh well, it’s only early at least. I guess the only plus about being here is, it’s going to be 30°C for the next 4 days. Cooling off to 27°C on Wednesday after we are gone. It’s going to be a shock going back home. It’s going to feel so cool I’d imagine, unless there is humidity (which I don’t mind).…

First Renos
We’re awesome. We are drywalling geniuses. haha We bought some drywall and decided we are going to pick away at our bathroom in the basement. We had all intentions of getting it done on the weekend but that never happened. Then on Monday we were going to invite a couple over to hang out and help us but by the time we figured out we were doing it and went on our walk it was too late to call someone to come over. So we decided to take it on ourselves. And it was pretty easy. We did it and I was/am so pumped about it. I miss having something…

We have trees
So our desert…I mean backyard..it’s now just a little less barren. We have 2 trees now in the ground. Still nameless though. We may just go with a simple play on words and call them “Crabby” and “Debbie”. It’s kind of fitting since it’s a crab apple tree and a Deborah maple. But if we can think of something better, we will change it. It might just be temporary. But good enough for now. So without further ado, here is Crabby and Debbie. PS – The burn is nothing like it looks. It’s just red. No pain. Weirdest thing about it all…my face is still pale as it was 3…
