EGAT! I've been Tagged!!!

I am: not wanting to be at work right now...and I am also not being very productive since I am completing this while at work!

I have: 3 sisters and 2 brothers (Liz, Emily, Hannah, Adam and Isaac)

I Think: about my crazy Lady Grandma who passed away over a year ago quite a bit. She wasn't really crazy.....we just called her that because, well, she definitely was not your typical grandmother. I'll have to fill you in another time.

I Know: that it is going to be one FLIPPIN cold winter here in Edmonton.

I Want: a new wardrobe!

I Dislike: peas. Apparently as a baby, it was one of the few solid foods that I LOVED...must've ate a bit too much.

I Miss: my niece Sydney and nephew Blake. I haven't seen them in what feels like forever...and now there is a new nephew, Grant, that I haven't even met.

I Fear: snakes! Hate em! Loathe them! Not too sure what I would do if I ever came into contact with one.

I Feel: tired. I even got 8 hours of sleep.

I Smell: Office air. Mmmmm... pretty neutral smell actually.

I Crave: right now?? Considering it's 9:30 in the morning I could go for a Pumpkin Spice Creme Frappucino from Starbucks. It's my new temptation.

I Cry: quite a bit when it's that "time of the month". I remember that once a commerical for Kitty Litter made me teary eyed...and I hate cats!! Go figure.

I Usually: bite my nails...but quit it cold turkey a little over a month ago and they're so long!! I so proud.

I Search: for my passions/talents. I think something is wrong with me because I honestly don't have any hobbies or things I just absolutely love to do. Who would have known that at the tender age of 28, I'm still trying to figure out who I am.

I Wonder: When I'll get pregnant! WHAT?? HUH?...you heard correctly...we're trying!

I Regret: not having a better self esteem when I was younger. I stayed in relationships that were no good, and going nowhere, for too long. I wish I would have realized what I deserved a lot sooner...but at least I got it right eventually.

I Love: how Mike plays with my hair every night right before we fall asleep. I found out that he used to do that with his Mom when he was little, so I guess he's just used to it.

I Care: about my family. I always wonder how they're doing....REALLY doing!

I Always: watch the Biggest Loser on Tuesday nights. I find it to be such an inspirational and motivating show. Much to Mike's dismay, I also am a faithful "The Hills" watcher. I don't know why I like it..but I do.

I Worry: about the most random things. My mom was a worrier, my sister is a worrier, and it looks like I am too.

I Am Not: very patient. It is definitely something I need to work on.

I Remember: when I got into the wrong car one day after school and there was a frightened old man staring back at me. I swear, it looked like my Grandma's car...just a different coloured interior.

I Believe: that people can change.

I Dance: when I'm home alone. I'll turn up my music and dance all over the house. Let me tell ya, I can cut a mean rug!

I Sing: in the car. I don't care if it looks like I am talking to myself, I love to sing.

I Don't Always: floss my teeth.

I Argue: with myself a lot. I have a knack for always thinkig negatively about myself. I'm trying to be better...but it's hard. No it's not. Yes it is..oh geesh, see there I go again. ;)

I Write: in my journal less ofen than I should. I'll be so good for awhile...and then months will go by with no updates. It's so bad right now that I haven't even finished telling my whole engagement/wedding story and I've almost been married for 2 years!!!

I Win: at Rummikub most of the time.

I Lose: my patience for people too quickly.

I Wish: that i was a conductor. Now that you've stopped laughing, it's true. I pretend I am all the time (when I'm by myself of course). I would love to be a conductor for a large orchestra. I would have a sweet conductor's stick too!

I Listen: to my Ipod every morning on my way to work. I just love music so much, I would listen to it 24/7 if I could.

I Don't Understand: why people bully. I hate this more than anything. I even contemplated breaking up a fight I witnessed while walking on my lunch break awhile ago. Three guys were beating up on one...and it made me so upset. I tried to get someone to break it up but nobody would. Eventually they stopped and I pretty much cried for the duration of my walk.

I Can Usually Be Found: at least once a night, sleeping in a really weird position. I sit indian style and then just put my head down so I'm basically in a ball. I've been doing it ever since I was a little kid. If you ask, I'll demonstrate! ;) Mike was pretty weirded out when we were first married.

I Need: to be better at doing the little things I know I should be doing. I need to be better at remembering the important things in life.

I Forget: conversations. I'm the worst when it comes to relaying information.

p.s. YOuR TURN!!!!! a tee-hee-hee

Update!

Welcome Grant David Weekley!!! Weighing in at a hefty 9 lbs, 7oz! Mom is doing great but I won't say much more so she can tell you all about it. I've seen a pic...he sure is CUTE!!!

Bundles of Joy

Well tomorrow is the big day, my seestor (Liz)is being induced and we will welcome a new nephew into our familia. I'm so excited but yet a little sad. This will be the first labor that I will not be attending. Yes you've read it right, I watched my sister give birth to both my nephew, Blake and niece, Sydney (or Sissy as we like to call her). I have to admit, I was quite skeptical and "iffy" about the whole thing at first but in the end was so glad I did it. It was an amazing experience, both times! One of my bestest friends in the whole wide world Kyrsten, or as I call her KK, is also due in the next day or two. What are the odds!! Please know that you both will be in my prayers and Diz....I better be at least #2 on the phone list!

P.S. KK, This pic is for you. Oh remember the BA days? How can you not, it's where it all began. ;)

Show ME, or I should say, show US the Money!!!

So I just had to boast and brag a little bit here. Mike just found out yesterday that he was awarded a scholarship that he applied for. He got such great marks last year (3.8 GPA) that they felt he deserved it...and I'm glad because I think so too. I'm just so proud of him. He was so hesitant in going back to school last year as the last time was over 10 years ago, and he always thought he just wasn't a "school" person. Little did he know. He is studying to be a Landscape Architect and has completed 1 year so far (1 down, three to go). He absolutely LOVES it and has definitely found his passion. Unfortunately he can't finish his degree at his current school so we'll either be moving to Guelph Ontario, Idaho or Utah next summmer. These are our only options as there is only 1 school in all of Canada that has his program and then the universities in Utah and Idaho will accept his full two years of credits so he won't have to retake any classes. It is kind of exciting not knowing where we'll be a year from now. Can you believe that it will be my 6th time moving to a new place? Shoot...and I'm not even an army wife!!! I have lived in Connecticut, Toronto, Provo Utah, Calgary, and now Edmonton. As weird as it sounds, I have loved moving and living in different places. I have met some amazing people in the process (you know who you are) and wouldn't trade it for anything. If I had stayed in my home town of Windsor Ontario, I wouldn't have met my hubby and for that I'll be eternally grateful.
