SHE'S BACK!

Jess is back! I'm pumped - although I learnt last night that doesn't mean I can stay up late *yawn*.

It is also the first morning I woke up to a chilly house in awhile. This is probably a combination of a) it hasn't been cold outside very often, and b) my hunny was worried about waking her so he didn't light one before he went to work this morning.

I went down and lit one.... we are just going to have to..... brrr....

~*~

I gotta tell you about a deal!

This is the point where anyone who doesn't want to hear wedding planning stuff can stop reading.

It's not something I was really thinking about but it sorta fell in my lap.

In fact, I just assumed I'd make our invitations - we have alot of time and that'd be the most economical, right?

Well not if you happen to get some really nice ones at Carleton Cards for 90% OFF! What is THAT?! I passed the table out front of the store the other day and couldn't believe it.

So I bought all 6 packs of 10, for $1.19/ea!!

It was just too sick of a deal not to do it. I figure for $8, even if all we used were the pretty envelopes I still had to pick them up.

Also, after much mental debate and some serious discussions, I believe the color palate has been set! Will update you soon! Just want to run it by my hunny first.

~*~

Has anyone used skype? Is my computer too slow for it?

Hunny's mom is still winning the Christmas Card competition and today is the last day. Boooooooooo! Will update you on the final count after we get the mail today.....


Have a great one!

SNOWSHOE SEASON

Has Begun!

Today we got to lace up, well... buckle up the snowshoes for the first time this season!

It was awesome! We needed to take Remy back into the woods so she could run free and stretch her legs. Hopefully she will be out of heat soon.

What better excuse do we need to throw the snowshoes in the back of the truck?

Hunting season isn't quite over yet, so we made sure to dress for the occasion.

Remy included. Bear never goes far enough from us that it's an issue.

It's amazing that the first of January is here, and under all this snow nothing is frozen.

Complete wet and muck.

As the dogs quickly discovered! haha

and after snowshoeing.....

how about a quick game of fetch in the snow!

Luckily for us the day was mild, not so luckily for the white fluff on the ground.

We had an amazing day.

On top of spending time outside, we also go our tree down and the house cleaned.

Now we are watching Ironman 2 and preparing to go for what will likely be our last Christmas Light Drive of the year.

I love Christmas lights.

Happy New Years Everyone!

I hope that you all had an amazing 2010 (LIKE I DID!), and that your 2011 will bring you nothing but the best of health and happiness.

Unfortunately, we are due for mild temperatures and rain tomorrow.

I'm so glad we got this snowshoe in before we lost our snow again.

I'm not a fan of global warming. What can I say.

Xoxo.

GOODBYE HOLIDAYS

Well, it's all over for another year. When people ask how my Christmas was, my first response is

PERFECT!

and then my second, after thought is always

too short!

Maybe that's the way it is in retail. I think perhaps we are the first to begin the Christmas movement every year, and so we feel the buildup for quite some time.

If I weren't going to work this morning, I would probably begin to take down the tree. Perhaps that's what I will do with part of my day off tomorrow. Removing ornaments, one at a time.... 

and we still have to watch our annual Love, Actually movie... just haven't found the chance yet this year!

But considering I own a copy and save it just for the holidays, I want to make the time.

Maybe will do that tomorrow too!

The Christmas Card Contest isn't over yet either. We extended the cutoff to Olde Christmas Day, because of so many issues with the ferry and canada post.

However, mom's still ahead by I think 2 cards.

 



I trust that everyone had a lovely Christmas. My dad was here for a few days, he arrived on Boxing Day and left last night. We got to share our good news with him in person, which I was really looking forward too. I'm always sad to see him go. Had to fight back the tears as I saw him pull his van away down the road. You never realize how much you miss someone, until you spend time with them and then you part ways again. I love my dad so much.

So one last Merry Christmas everyone!

and of course

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Xoxo.

YES

I love my hunny, have I ever told you?

I've truly never been so happy in my entire life. Probably didn't know I could be!

Well he gave me a special birthday present this year.

He asked to be with me forever.

I said yes

Have I mentioned that I never thought I could be so happy?!

Xoxo.
