Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Alberta we Go!

We're leaving tomorrow for a long weekend in Alberta. What's the occasion you might ask? Well the Calgary Stampede is over, and it's not to eat some delicious Alberta beef, it's for our 3rd family wedding of the year, Mandi & Jordan's.

We leave tomorrow night and are back on Monday. Just a short little stint but long enough to hopefully see some familia and our long lost friends (well, they're not really lost they just live so darn far away). This will be Mr. Jack-a-Loo's first airplane ride so wish us luck. Luckily I'll have Mike there with me so we can take turns pulling each others hair out. How sweet!

Speaking of Mike, I have some horrible terrible no good very bad news to report. He was laid off last week :( There was a shortage of work and unfortunately since he was the lowest man on the totem pole, they parted their ways. Luckily they were so kind as to set him up with a job interview with another company the following day. He has his second interview tomorrow so again, like I always ask, please keep all possible flexible ligaments crossed for us.



Well folks, this is Katie "hopeful, trying to be completely optimistic" Ryan signing off. I need to go find me an outfit to wear to this shindig. Ugh, why couldn't I have been a man!!! Seriously! Throw on a suit and DONE!! No, no, not us women folk. We need a dress, our hair did, matching accessories, new shoes, manicures, nylons, and SPANX!! Oh the joys...and now my tangent has now ended.
;)

P.s. - Jack got his 1st haircut. He was pretty good about it to except for the part where he started head banging back and forth. He's a little peek into his fun time at the hairdresser.
