Happy New Years!

Hi All!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their families and friends! All the recent posts are great, especially the ones with the pictures! I love pictures!!
In my world - Christmas went well but was busy - way too many people to see. It wasan interesting experience though, as Lee met almost all my family on my Mom's side......they all love him. What else, Aerosmith & Motley Crue concert was freaking amazing!! I actually cried when I heard Steven Tyler sing Crazy (it's my all time fav song by them and overall) - I didn't sit down the whole concert it seriously went into my imaginary book of all time favourite past-times. On a serious note I finally started corrective measures for my injury and had my first physio appointment yesterday it went well - but from now til who knows I have to go twice a week (at $45 a visit!!!!) I'm hoping it helps me....we also discovered that I have beginning signs of CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) in my left wrist, this probably was a factor from my arm/shoulder/back injury and also working at a desk all day....thank gosh we found it early. So I'm on the road to recovery - it only took since August!
As for New Years - Lee and I are taking it easy and hanging out with some of his friends - maybe going 4x4ing or something....gosh I feel old!! haha!

Hope everyone is well - keep in touch and All the Best in 2007!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Happy first christmas to both of those little cuties!!!

Well just thought I would get on here and wish you all a great christmas and happy new years seeing it is coming soon and I probably wont get time to write again before then.

We have been great...but really busy... busy at work like usual, a lot of people get depressed during the holidays and then well, there is the snow and the back log in the E.R's..... YEah.... so we park our patients in the hall ways ( AKA- Gordon Campbell wings) and wait... and wait...

things are still chugging along great with the wedding....can't believe how time is flying... only 61/2 more months. WOW!

well happy holidays guy's!!! get drunk on egg nog and rum and have a blast.... I'll be thinking of you!

4 days till family!

Well not a lot of news here. I talked to Keira for the first time in ages and made a date to see her for the first time since she was 7 months pregnant. I’ll be coming back to the mainland on Friday!! I’m so excited. I hope the roads will be good enough to drive on. That would just ruin Christmas for Drew and I. We are looking forward to introducing our newest baby Huckleberry to our families.
Drew and I are going to be buying a new car this spring. We are looking at a Subaru outback, or some sort of Toyota. We like the reddish color that isn’t red but isn’t orange.. yeah… dad has a couple used on his lot.
Our friends Pam and Joe from Manitoba are moving to the Okanagan this summer and they have gotten engaged! (key you met them at our wedding)
But yeah. I’m so excited about Christmas this year. We actually have not opened our gifts early! (we have opened them early every year we have been together) So we have a tree full of gifts!
That’s about it.
Key see you on the 26th bright and early!

'Tis The Season to be Witty

I was out with Angelina today and a reporter from Vancouver asked me about the conjoined twins. She caught me off guard and I think everything I said was pretty dumb. She took down my name though; I hope she's not going to put me in the paper. I said something along the lines that it makes mothers feel thankful for their childrens'health, news is more impactful when it's close to home, and that Vernon is in the news again only this time for a miracle and not a crime. I wasn't very eloquent though, becuase I was trying so hard not to say something offensive like "thank God it wasn't my baby, she must be worried that they will die".

Of course immediately after, I thought of all the insightful and interesting things that I could have said. That's how it always goes. Like when someone is really mean to you and you sulk away, then the rest of the day you stand up for yourself over and over again in your head. That's not just me, right?

Hi, I'm Tom Hanks

Did you ever have a moment of sinking, terrible realization? That's the kind of moment I had at the Kelowna airport the other day when I realized that the keys to my car and my house were making their way to Ontario in Matt's pocket and I had no way to get home. Anyway fortunately I got some help. I am so lucky that:

1)My mom hadn't left for work yet, so she could pick up Bill on her way to work
2)My sister had got her licence just days before, so she could drop my mom off at work and take her car
3)My sister had a spare key to my house that I didn't even know about
4)I had a spare car key by the door in the house, so my sister could get it for me
5)Although my sister goes to school, she didn't have a class that day until the afternoon, and it was early morning

So Bill executed that complicated plan for me and I was only at the airport for 3 hours. I'm also lucky that although Angelina's diaper bag was locked in the car, I did have some food and a toy with me.

It's funny; I have been to the airport three times this year and been stranded there all three times! The other times were due to flight delays. I feel like Tom Hanks in that movie where he lives at the airport!

16 More Sleeps...

...till the merriest Christmas ever, now that we have our little munchkin.

Matt wrote his exam on Tuesday... his final, last-ever CGA exam! All done! No more school! For the first time ever, we will have weekends together. Except for this weekend, 'cause he's at work, and next weekend, 'cause he's in Ontario for work...Well, starting at Christmas we'll have weekends together. Free time; what a strange and wonderful experience that will be!

What's so great about this MAC makeup? I'm not criticizing, I just have no idea. Is it long-wearing?

We saw Thank You for Not Smoking, and it was really good. We saw a preview for kinky boots awhile ago and wanted to see it, so thanks for the reminder Kirsten! Still open to suggestions!

On our way to Matt's work Christmas party
She loves my water bottle
That's aunty Bill's nose
Chillin' with aunty Bill

Tis the season...to be naughty.. I mean nice

Hello again,
Oh my gosh those are the cutest cats, awe! I want one so bad but not allowed at my place. Cute names too! Oh and I totally understand the love for MAC - isn't it the best? My friend works there so I get killer deals, has buying it off ebay been good, how do you know the quality you're going to get or if it's been used?? I never thought of buying makeup online.
Key - I love the comparison photographs - the pineapple one especially you can really see how much Gina has grown, she doesn't look like the same little girl I met in the summer. As for movies - I watched Thank you for not smoking and it was really good, could just be my weird taste is some movies though...oh and if any one is looking for a great Christmas music cd - I bought the Il Divo one today and I love it! Totally worth the buy. Anyone else have good recommendations for Christmas CD's?? I only have 2 and that won't last me very long.
I'm doing well, can't wait for the holiday season...and for the Doctors to figure out what's wrong with me. Here's a new pic of Lee and I from 2 weeks ago at a lounge downtown Vancouver.
21 more days!!

Kinky Boots

well I think that you should rent Kinky Boots for sure. Its pretty cute and funny, well at least we thought so.
Things have been going well here as usual. on Tuesday we have a meeting with a loan person to see if we can buy our own place. I"m so sick of renting and not being able to do the stuff I want to our house. just little things like crown molding.
I'm so excited about coming down for christmas even though it will only be a couple of days. None of my students still have parents so none will be going away for the holiday. Thus I go back to work on the 27th.
We bought The Village and are watching it now... so far so good... but we will see when it ends. it just started... but I have a crush on the Phoenix guy.. no idea what is first name is. but yeah. hes cute.. I'd do him.
Hmmm nothing eles really exciting or interesting going on. I'm addicted to buying MAC makeup on ebay and have 30 colors of eyeshadow.. hehehe.
Drew and I are done our Christmas shopping!!! we will likely do a we bit more shopping next weekend and that will be it.
here are some pics of our little ones. Huckleberry is the baby white one. then Stinkfoot and Igore are the other 2.
Peace out
ps I"m sooo looking forward to seeing you on the 26th Keira. I haven't seen you since you were pregnate with Gina.
