The Bridal Shower!

Well being overwhelmed is rather an understatement right now. The small corner of stuff that I had has now exploded to one wall of the basement. I can't beileve all the stuff that we recieved. Max was standing there is total shock. He didn't know what to think of all of this and when my mom and I mentioned that we will also receive wedding presents he nearly hit the floor! It's so nice we are going to be able to move out and just worry about making mortgage payments instead of trying to get stuff for our house! Thanks again to all who came, this was a lot of fun! I wanna get married all over again! :)

Immigration Experts!

Max and I are headed down to Calgary some day this week to see a gentleman who is an immigration consultant. I am getting pretty excited about this because this could mean that Max could stay here permanently and he would be able to get a job and work here! It would be so nice to know that he could stay here. I would be so nice to know that now my life can actually start and we can make plans, like looking into getting a house built and making plans for dinner parties!!

The last exam ever?

I went down to Calgary today to write my final in my Religious Studies class. A class which in some respects was interesting (Muslims aren't so bad!!)and in other ways it wasn't so good either. I bombed both midterms!! Not bad but it just made me work harder to pass that's all. So I wrote what I hope and pray ( hummm interesting usage of words!) is my last exam ever for the University of Calgary. I think that I did really well in the respect that I wrote and wrote all that I could on the short answer questions. I even ended up putting lots on the back of one page which for me is pretty rare. So it's just two classes to go in my Ending Hate and Making Peace class and I am going to be finished with University!! YEAHHHHHHH!

I wanna rock and roll!

That's right I want to party. I want to party so hard. I want to party so hard that it take over three days to recover from partying so hard!!! Yeah that is what I would like to happen!

I handed in my badge!

It's official I am no longer employed at the hospital anymore. I went and handed in my badge. My boss seems a bit disappointed. To be honest I am as well just for the simple fact it was a nice easy job, for the most part. Hopefully I will be able to find something where I can sit in an office all day!

Help!!!

I have forgotten the pleasure of sleeping in!!! Friday can't come soon enough, hell next Tuesday can't come fast enough. That is officially the last day of classes for me!!! YEAH!

The countdown is on!

I finish one course at the end of the week and the other one I finish next week! YEAHHHHH! I am so looking forward to having three days off that I am going to spend at least one of them in bed, recovering from a hangover!!

Max is finally here. All of a sudden there are people saying that they know a person who could help us and they know another person who could do this. WHY didn't they say something last fall when we got married!?! Max could have been here for Christmas and then he could have stayed and who knows he could have maybe even found a job and we could have been one step closer to getting our dream house built. Ohhh, we even agreed on that too!!

July is almost here!

He's in the air up there again!!

He's done his duty free shopping and had taxied in to the sky once again!! So it's something like 7 hours to go!!! YEAHHH!!!

I am NOT in the least bit excited about this am I!!! :)

My eagle has landed in London!!

I just checked the Heathrow airport website and it says that his flight has landed 10 minutes early... nice! Now he's probably making his way through the endless coradors through out the airport to the transit lounge that thousands are forced to sit in while they announce your gate for your connecting flight. He's going shopping for me too, this should be very interesting!

He's in the air up there!!

It's official, his flight from Gothenburg to London has officially taken off!! YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I have been bouncing around all evening, that is when I haven't been sleeping!!! I can't wait to get out of bed in the morning... ohhh haven't said that in a long time!

OOOOOOOOOOOhhhh I'mmmmm sooooooooooo Ttiiiiiiiirrrreeed!!!

I am at the brink of exhaustion!!! I don't remember how many days in a row that I have been to work but it's been about two weeks since I have actually had a full day off!! I can't wait to spend a solid 12 consecutive hours in my bed, completely undisturbed. Hope you read that one Max because that wedding band of yours does not give you immunity this time!! Sorry!!! I neeeeeeed to go back to bed! GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

WOW!

I just realized that my husband is going to be by my side in less than 48 hours!!! OOOOOOHHHHH!!! And then I am going to drop him off in a pub while I go to my evening class. Nice wife aren't I!!!

World Cup 2006

Yeah yeah it's that time yet again!!

Most North American women (who aren't married to Europeans or South Americans) have really no clue what this is like. There is something comparable in Canada but that is about it (ummm Stanley Cup). So yeah I have lost my husband for a month. I can imagine right now that both him and his father are glued to the television awaiting to find out if England will actually win their first game or if the unintentional goal by Uraguay was just a fluke of nature.

Anyways have fun y'all and I'll see you in a month.


P.S. Max you should see the really really REALLY nice ring that I have picked out *wink wink*

Ending Hate and Making Peace!

So I started my three-week course tonight, after being delayed for two days. Anyways, it seems like it is a pretty interesting course. The prof is an American, which when I first found out I though ohhhhh no. But she's pretty cool. She's Jewish, she didn't think that some of us could tell, but I kinda had a feeling she was. Anyways she describes herself as a black chick stuck in a crazy white chick's body! Doesn't agree with the Bush ideology (that comment won me over in a heart beat).

So this is going to be pretty interesting, it is a one of a kind kind of course. She is only one of a few dozen people who specialize in this field. So here's to crazy Americans!!

She's baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Welcome back Rachy!!!! Finally something new to read on the net!!

Less than a week to go!

Ooooh the countdown is on!!!

It's less than a week til my hubby gets here! There's so much to do. I have school in Calgary 5 days a week now until the end of the month (holy shit what was I thinking??) Plus there are the few loose ends to tie up with the wedding. I tell ya this has been rather stress free. Unlike one girl that I know who is getting married within the next two weeks. Her entire family is stressing out about the whole thing!! Why??? Really when you think about it, it's only a few hours out of your life and chances are you'll end up remembering the stuff that was planned moreso than the stuff that was meticuously (i know!) planned out!

Reminicing!

I have been thinking alot about stuff from when I was a kid. One of those things is the Colecovision video game system. I had one when I was a kid, got many hours of enjoyment out of it too. Since we have moved into our house I don't recall where exactly the console went to so I thought for the heck of it I would check out e-bay. Yikes!! They haven't gone down in price let me tell ya! But I am going to wait and see. I did bid on some stuff but oh well what the hell! So if you wanna help me out go and out bid me.

High School Memories!!

Today as part of my cool job of running a coffee shop I got to go back to my old high school. There were a group of kids, very very talented kids, who are in a band called Intended Response. They were kind of having a year end concert of sorts and I was there to sell coffee to raise funds for the Arts program at the high school. I heard something pretty sad today. I guess that school board is cutting the Jazz Band. It's pretty bad, I was there when it was created. I am so disappointed because it seems as though we have alot of talent in this town. It was one of those things that it was because of band (yeah yeah I know I am a band geek) that I graduated from high school. Why is it that they always axe the arts first??? I really hate to imagine to see how much money this school has spent getting a football team!! Not that I am ragging on athletics because I am pretty sure that there are a few students out there who wouldn't be in school if it weren't for football, but I mean really???


Anyways I saw my old English teacher who failed me sooooo many times. When I was in his class I spent most of my time thinking of other things and not concentrating on how alot of the storylines of Shakespeare relate to 21st century life. The one thing that I did think was pretty cool is that he's been a teacher there for something like 30 years now, which is pretty remarkable when you think about it. Anyways he has a book with a list of students that he has taught over the years. Both my husband and myself are in there. He has always encouraged us to update it when ever we are around, so I went and chitchatted with him for a few minutes. He's pretty happy that I have been able to get so far, even though I failed two of his classes!

Getting prepped for the in-laws!!

So today was the last day of a sale at work where I could by a package of 24 toilet paper for $6, so what do I do, I buy two cases or eight packages!!!! I figure seems we have three bathrooms here at my house that we would probably probably use quite a bit in the three weeks that I am hosting my inlaws.

So it's about a month and ten days to go. I hope that my father-in-law has alot of fun. And I hope that my mother-in-law chills :);)

AND... it's less than 10 days to go until I get to see my HUSBAND!!!!

Pretty damn cool!

There was nothing interesting on tv tonight or so I thought. I ended up watching the Scripps spelling bee. It was pretty damn cool. A Canadian girl, from Alberta, Finola Hackett ended up second out of the whole thing. This is pretty huge when you think about it. This contest is pretty much the world championships of spelling and this girl from small town Alberta was only one letter (albeit a pretty damn close letter) away from taking the whole thing.

Congrats Finola!!
