10 months, honeymoon, OHIO, back to the YMCA

So summer has come and gone so fast. But I had the best summer with Rebecca. We did lots together and she is so much fun to be with. I forgot how fun it was to be a kid again, but she's a pretty great 8 year old. I go back to the YMCA Sept 5th, can't wait. My shifts are 7:30-9:15 and then 2:30-5:15. What do I do in between those 2 shifts you might ask? Clean houses. I have 2 so far, Thurs and Fridays. And the other 3 days I keep busy with planning my week for childcare, and packing since we are moving Oct 1....er, did I not mention that? Hehehe whoops. Yes Matt and I are moving to Grimsby Oct 1. To a wonderful 1,000 sq ft basement apartment. All open space... it's an amazing apartment, and BIG, and a really good price. Couldn't have asked for a better apartment. So close that I can bike to work, and Matt only has a 10 min drive if that. We are both really excited.

I found out where we are going on our honeymoon. Matt's been planning this honeymoon for almost 2 years and I figured it out...thanks to one of the teachers at my work, (I stopped by my work on Tues) and she had mentioned something about a Disney Cruise. WELL, we are going on a 4 nights 5 days Disney Cruise and then we make a stop to go to Disney World. Eeeekkkk I cannot wait. We are going Jan 9-18, 2007. I am so happy we didn't go on our original honeymoon right after the wedding but waiting a little over a year and then went. This honeymoon is going to be amazing. 10 day honeymoon, only 129 more days till the wonderful vacation. I still cannot believe he planned this all on his own, he's so great.

Hmmm what else???? OH I am going to OHIO this weekend with Barb and Cindy and Marlene. Dad has been working there all summer so mom goes with dad and they take the trailer. So we are going there to visit them. ROAD TRIP. Us 4 grills are leaving early Saturday morning and coming back Monday night. I will definitely have pics of the trip once I get back, which reminders me, I better go charge the batteries in the camera.

We've been married for 10 months. It's been going by so fast it's retarded. Fun, but so fast. WOW I think I am finally out of words... didn't think that was possible. Ha!

The girl who ran out of words...FINALLY

Grandma

My Grandma Lesage passed away in the hospital this afternoon. Man all this death crap sucks. First my Uncle Bill is May now, my Grandma. But she was ready to go to heaven. She's been sick on and off for a quite a few years. So some comfort knowing that she wanted to go and be with Jesus. It's just sucks.
 

Computer

Hello everyone, who may or maynot read this....

Our computer decided to dye on us. Matt knows what's wrong with it, so it's just the matter of getting it fixed...SOON. Because I am not liking this no internet hoopla. So if you don't hear from me don't panic and think that I feel off the side of the earth, i just don't have a computer. I am at work now doing this....shhhh..j/k.

Signing off as the girl with no computer/internet (how will I servive) ;)

Accident

So while camping my brother Chris calls my dad's cell and leavs a message letting us know that he was in an accident. He's ok wansn't his fault. He was turning left into a gas sation on Hwy 20 and some lady re-end Chris. She was going 80km and rammed right into my brother's car. Aparently she wanted to go threw him not around. Here are some pic's below of the damage. His car is totaled and isn't driveable. Chris has whiplash and let just pray that nothing else goes wrong down the road. Also pray that nothing will go wrong with the insurence company and all goes well for my brother Chris. love ya bro

1 more sleep

TOMORROW TOMORROW TOMORROW...

That's right this time tomorrow I will be officially at Port Burwell Provical Park. Away from computers, tv, and all other hydro like things. I cannot wait. I absolutely love camping. (I will be gone from July 28- Aug 7). Especially now since my mom and dad bought a 2007 32' Trailer. This is one fine trailer people. I definitely be taking pics of the trailer and post them later tonight when I am at mom and dad's dropping off my sister Marlene. Just thinking about this massiveness of a trailer makes me drool.

So far I've been packing, clothes and more clothes. The sad thing about leaving for 10 days, Matt isn't coming with me :0( He just got a full time job, (at another house) so we figure it wouldn't be a good idea to just not take holidays. But there is a silver lining to this, he will be coming up the last weekend, so Aug 5-6. He tried to get someone to take his Friday shift but it's Aug long weekend so no luck there, but at least he's coming up. But we thought since I already have 2 weeks of b/c the people that I am a nanny for are gone, for there holidays, we both decided that I should go camping rather then staying here bored while everyone else is gone. Matt won't be here much cause he's working fulltime, so I am glad that I'm actually having a holiday.

Just cleaned the apartment. So I hope when I come back home it will be clean still, *crossing fingers* It probably will be since Matt works 3-11 for 7-3, so I'm sure he will keep it clean

Well I think I am out of words... WOW that's a first. It's starting to thunder and lighting out... don't really like thunderstorms, but glad Matty is here (his day off).

How to weigh yourself and get the most accurate result.

I can't believe I was doing it wrong all these years.

We must get the word out.

One more

oh here is one more of Haden (6) and Garrett (4) playing in mom and dad's 'cool tub"

awwww

Brenda and the boys and Faith came down monday to tuesday. It was nice to see them. There are some pic's below of Faith in my parents 'cool tub'. She's so cute and sweet, I just wanna kiss those checks all the time.

Well 9 more days still I am off camping for a much needed vacation. I can't wait. Friday is my last day for 2 weeks. The people that I'm baby sitting for are leaving out east for 2 weeks and it's the same time I'm going camping. I can't wait. Only 8 more sleeps ladies.

Enjoy the pic's of Faith.

*~* Happy Birthday BAG*~*

Toby Has Finally Been Saved!!!!!

Remember when I posted a web site about a cute bunny named "Toby"? It was a while back... well I just went there now and this dude didn't eat the bunny. But I know that it was just a scame so he could have the money. It's funny to read what these people wrote though. But the even funnier stuff is that theses stupid people actually fell for this and gave the guy money. Oh man stupid people make me laugh.

YMCA

Yesterday was the last day of day care ( I go back come sept). I am really going to miss all those kids this summer. I had a blast, I learned so much there. I've been working with kids since I was 14 so for almost 9 years and in all those years, I learned quite a bit but working for the YMCA I've learned that much more. I had a blast working with my co-workers ( even though one might be leaving..stephine...don't) the kids, I can't even explain how much those children mean to me. I've become attached to all the children there and even the parents I 've really grown to respect and love. It's amazing and sometimes over whelming knowing that this is where God wants me to be and that I've found my knack in life at a young age. I feel really blessed. *sigh*

Aight, so this summer i am baby sitting a girl, i start at 11am-5 or 6 pm. I drive for 40 mins but i am totally excited about baby sitting her. We are going to go shopping, swimming, biking and the best of all we are going to build a bear. ohhh we are both so excited. This girl is 8, and so much fun to be with. I start Tuesday so I have a few days off which is nice.

Today I was at work cleaning, up the daycare, everything needs to be disinfected and put away for the summer, so i cleaned for 7 hours ( got paid though so all good) . I am physically exhausted. We had to take all the chairs and table and sensory bin and art easel and anything else you can think of we disinfected and put out into the hall ways of the school, so the room can cleaned and our rugs steamed.... i can't wait come Sept to put the class room back together and start fresh.... I'm so looking forward to going back to work Sept 5th.

so now what do I do for the next 4 days, clean my apartment, do some laundry and sleep sleep sleep. so nice not having to get up at 6:30 every morning.

but now i am off to chilax on the couch with Matty.

as Tigger would say (or Brenda my sister)
"Ta Ta For Now"
