Tired

So it's almost time for me to go home.. thank god, I can't wait to go to sleep in my own bed. Last night was the start of my 7 backshifts in a row.... and a 11 day stretch I'm starting with no days off in between. But when it's all over... I'll be on vacation and in my house with our new puppy. I'm so excited I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are a few new pics of Cocoa, she's soooooo adorable. My Parents got her yesterday, the 2 week stretch is here... the countdown starts :)

Happy Birthday To ME

So today is my Birthday!!!! I'm 26 :) It's been a good weekend, last night Chris and I went to his aunt's house in Dartmouth and had dinner, cake and a PARTY. Lots of wine and Beer. This morning I slept in and Chris got up early.. he went out and got strawberries, blackberries and flowers to go with the breakfast he cooked for me. Breakfast consisted of Bacon, pancakes, lots of fresh berries and coffee.. it was awesome. Oh, and the flowers were a big bouquet of orange lilies. It was a very nice day. I've added a few pics including my baby b-day cake we got today, I was craving cup-cakes with butter cream icing, so the closet we could find was a baby b-day cake with butter cream icing. YUM. Hope everyone is having a great long weekend :) I sure am.

No more Fish

So, it's official my fish are now gone. I spent my day off on monday taking the tank apart and cleaning it out. Wasn't that fun, the big fish were hard to catch.... very fast. Anyway, it's all done now and they are living in their new house @ Patrick's. It will be one last thing I'll have to take care of when we finally move into the new house... I'm betting the dog will be enough for me to handle. Anyone with kids right now is defintly laughing at me.. lol. :) I'll miss the little creatures and my planted tank, but not the weekly water changes.

Halloween

Here is a pic of Storm @ Halloween... it's one of our Friends dog's. I think he looks pretty cute!!!!!

Just Packing & Relaxing

The only thing I did this weekend that was exciting was pack... lol. We started packing up boxes of stuff in the apartment, the time to the house closing is getting closer then we think. They are painting this week, so as far as we know things are on schedule. The fish tank is being taken apart tomorrow and the plants and fish are going to their new home at Patrick's.. since I'm off tomorrow and should probably take advantage of the day for packing and getting ready for the move. Will have more updated pictures of Cocoa soon. My parents get her on the 13th of Nov and then she will be here with Chris and I in our new house on the 25th. We are very excited and can't wait for everything to be over with. Tonight is the Patriots vs. Colts game... should be very interesting... go Patriots. Hope everyone had a good weekend it was cold out but nice.

Over 3 Weeks Old

Here is a picture of Cocoa, my parents went and visited her this weekend. I can't wait to get her on Nov 25th.

Pedro

Here's a picture of Mario for Halloween, dressed like Pedro.... I laughed my ass off. Good job Mario :) I love it !!!!!!!

EastSide

So tonight for supper we met Chris's good friends Jenn and Nathan at EastSide Marios downtown. It was my first time meeting them, they moved back from Toronto and are living in Yarmouth now. Very nice people, we all had a very good time. I had a really yummy meal, Seafood Linguine it was excellent. Now I'm home watching multiple episodes of "Lost", Chris is gone to work.. working the backshift for the next couple of days. We visited the house today.. looks like things are coming along, the insulation is in and ready for gyp-rock. Less than a month to go and we will be in
there !!!!! I'm so excited. Hope everyone has a good night, I'm sure there are some Halloween Parties going on out there.. BOO to everyone.

Boxes, Boxes and More Boxes

Chris went yesterday and picked up boxes to start packing..... there are so many. I definatly know what I'll be doing all weekend, I'm gonna start packing up some of the stuff that we don't use right now. The more that gets done the better. 1 month away from Cocoa's arrival in Halifax. :)

Meet Meatball

Here is a pic of Meatball Adams new dog, he's 6 months old. Adam is a friend from work and fellow ball-player from the Toll MegaHurtz.

RELAXED

This weekend was a relaxing weekend, it was awesome, Chris and I never had any obligations just to relax and have fun. Ryan was over on Friday night and I made BBQ pizza and him and Chris chatted about the stock market and making $$$$. Ryan is now interested in starting into the stocks as well. Saturday evening I cooked Chinese food, won-ton soup and chow mein.. it was yummy. We then headed to a Birthday Party for Chris's uncle, the entire family was there.. it was nice. I even had a couple of beers and too my surprise my stomach held up and I felt fine, it was a great feeling :) Sunday was football day and roast beef dinner.... Go patriots, they won of course... beating Buffalo. Go Brady !!!!!!

The Count down is on!!! exactly a month from tomorrow and the house closes, I'm crossing my fingers that everything goes according to plan. It's gonna be a busy month, and I'm working like crazy. Hope everyone has a good week, I'm hoping to have updated pics of little baby Cocoa by the weekend, and maybe some new house pics too.

Working Weekend

The whole weekend Chris and I have been working.. him 12 hour days and me 8 hour days, so needless to say the weekend hasen't been very exciting. Next weekend should be better we are both off, it will be nice to relax. It's getting closer to the house closing.. I can't wait, crossing my fingers that everything is done ontime. :) Gotta get back to work, pretty busy weekend. Hope everyone enjoys the nice fall day today.. it's sunny outside.

Cocoa

She's the one on the left handside!!!!!

Here She Is !!!

Here is a few pictures of my little puppy Cocoa, in all the pics she is the darkest chocolate one. The mother had 8 puppies 6 yellow and 2 chocolate labs.. all female except 1 male. My parents went on saturday to take some pictures for Chris and I since we were dying to see the little girl.

Apple Pie

Here's a pic of the Apple Pie I made today for Chris. We went and got apples today so I decided to make a pie, tomorrow is turkey day. Yum. I'll have pics of my puppy to post tomorrow.

Finally Sunday Shopping!!!!

Ok so finally Nova Scotia is with the rest of the Country and world... sunday shopping finally exisits here too. It just makes things easier for people who have to work all week long, and then cram it all in on saturday.. now u can do it on sunday if U wish to do so. I'm very excited and feel like Nova Scotia finally has taken a step forward instead of backwards. The government finally realized that the issue was not going away and that they couldn't stop the inevitable. See U at the supermarket, mall or where-ever this sunday!!! shopping.. shopping and more shopping :)

FrostBite

I think today might be my last day for sandals... I've been hanging on to the possibility that it's not that cold outside in the mornings, except for this morning they felt like they had frostbite walking to work. It pains me to wear shoes and socks, but I guess I have no choice.. the only good thing about it is that now I get to go buy a new pair of shoes :)

My Puppy is born

Finally after waiting since Aug, my little puppy was born yesterday. I feel like it's my baby.. lol, I know crazy huh!!! She/he is a Chocolate Lab and I can't wait to see pics of them. My parents are going to visit them on sat so I'll have some baby pics then. I'm sooooooooooo excitied.. mom, dad and the little puppy will be arriving on nov 25th the day after the house closes. :)

Cutie

Here's a couple of pic's of one of my best friends little girl Hannah, also known as Hannah Banana :) she's so cute.

Travel Bug

For the last 2 years Chris and I have not spent more then 3 consecutive months at home without taking a trip somewhere .... it's been since July now and we haven't traveled anywhere. We are both itching to go away, but with the house stuff it's just not in our budget right now. I can't wait until things are settled again so we can take a trip somewhere.... I'm missing Santa Monica California right now. We went last year in nov for my birthday, oh well I guess a house and a dog will have to do.. lol. It just seems like the past couple of weeks everything on TV is california and vegas.... both places that I loved when we were there. I guess watching it on TV will have to do for now.
For more pics of California... check out my webspace @
