CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!!

FACEBOOK is taking up all of my internet time...
It's finally summer! I have a great job! I've had a couple great camping trips and a hiking trip.
AND I have three huge tomato plants that are blooming like crazy and about 30 green peppers on my plant!
I don't have a whole bunch to say except stop worrying so much about money. You loose so much time trying to save up and you miss all of the fun things along the way. Just enjoy life, stop focusing your whole life thinking about your own problems, it could be soooo much worse. (this is my july life lesson)
Here's some pictures.


absolutely beautiful... this is the start of our ride

Wow... It has been a really long time since I last blogged... I promised myself that I wouldn't let it go so long cause I hate when people don't update... anyhow, a lot has gone on since I last blogged. I wrote all of my finals and aced them all as well!! A average of 95 on all four finals! So that made me pretty happy!! Then I graduated, meaning no more school (maybe ever). I then had a little road trip to Red Deer for two days before I started my new job. Yay I am about to have money again!!! Oh yeah... We also made a big purchase today!!! Three Hutterite chickens!!! I am so excited to cook one up, nothing will beat good old home grown chickens, but Hutterites are a very close second! So I think that I will cook one on Sunday, just in case anyone cares, lol. Another little thing... most of everyone who knows me already knows this, but I am extremely excited about this, so absolutely everyone needs to know... Kate is moving to Lethbridge in July!!!! YAYYYY

This is a little bit late, but it made me laugh. Even though I'm in a relationship it's hilarious!!! So for all of you Valentines day haters or touchy-feely couple haters... You'll love this
Valentines

KATE'S TRIP

Well Kate came to visit me for the past nine wonderful days. Here's a little summary of her eventful visit...
Top Ten Events:
1) Finally having my best friend around for more than a day
2) Laughing until I am sure that I will bust my gut
3) Gaining a slight accent (british/katenbeck)
4) Becoming a super spy
5) Memories (making and remenicing)
6) Pulling pranks
7) Moxies ( 5 times in 9 days...)
8) Snorts that start gails of laughter
9) Embarrasing moments
10) Deep talks only her and I could have.
and also... my toenails!!

Kate modeling the computer... sexy pose!

I finally have a toe nail again!! One of the highlights was getting my toenails done!! but that only lasted for a few days, then Kate knocked one off, lol

me hobbling along with my pinched nerve (severe pain... just so you know) the lady that took our picture actually thought we were from england or somewhere else... whoopies

us at the park again... yelling for the duckies to come back...

kate walking away from me...

I hope every one of you finds that best friend... through the thick and thin, they are there!! It's amazing! Thanks for comming Kate and thanks for nine days of good times that I will remember forever!

jason and his crazy roomate justin, making us laugh!! wierd, but very funny...

what?? a boy straightening my hair. again, not a normal occurance, but very funny, and definitely a good piece of blackmail, lol... the best part is, he did a great job!!

Here's my little cutie... her name is Q-Tip, wierd name I know, but she actually is a q-tip, she cleans her mom and brother's ears daily. ewwwww...
bev and me... just chilling after we curled our hair with the difuser... best invention ever. we were getting all dolled up for a bridal shower... oh what fun it is to be high on hairspray!!
me and my boytoy... or toyboy depends who you talk to. i quite like him!!!
oh you did not just say that... lol, apparently i have looks that could kill... apparently it's true.
he's actually smiling... i can't believe it.... love ya jay!

Well... I went home again. Just for the weekend this time... It was fun, the whole family was home. All of my brothers even. so that was awesome. Just like olden days!! Well... if you know my family at all, you will know we are crazy, so we decided that we needed a trophy wall... well, since it's not hunting season, we improvised!!

He has a deer in the headlights one too... which is funny, and i might put it in my blog later...
here's a drunk deer look... yikes, it was either this one or one of me laughing histarically
and here's an even drunker deer... wouldn't want to hit that one
this one even has ears... oh my brothers!!
boy's will be boys... always wrestling, seeing who can beat the others... little joshy is getting pretty big though. and dj is starting to put a little weight back on his skelaton... but steve still has most of the training behind him... it's pretty close between the three of them, but then there's me, all talk, and pen stabbing, lol... sorry dj, guess butter knives and pens really do puncture the surface... ouch!!

Well, there's a little glimpse into my trip home and my family. Hope you enjoyed!
