I forget

I forget ...

Sometimes I forget just how lucky I am. Sometimes I dwell on the bad things that have happened.

I am so very very lucky, I have some amazing friends who are there for me when I need them even if I haven’t been there for them much when they were/are going through a rough time.

I am so lucky to have such a great family and I really really mean that there are quite a lot of us and I seriously love each and every one of them. I hate that I speak with them and remember just how much I love them and how great they are, we are all pretty different but we have know each other our whole lives and we would stand by each other fiercely.

Id forgotten, just how very lucky I am!!

Thank you guys and you know who you are I really am thankful to have you in my life and I will try harder to keep in touch!

Little Update :)

I thought id show you how im spending my time these days

spending time with my boys ... becuase lets be honest they are THAT CUTE!!

Managed to get this photo of Hamish, i think he is saying stop enough photos!!!

oh we had our first snow fall last saturday and weve had a fair bit since then but thankfully its not lying, it is cold though :(

HOCKEY season is back and i got a new top ... actually bar got a new top and i was "allowed" to wear his old one. However if they lose the game tonight i probably wont be allowed to wear it ever again!

The spamster has been cold so he has shacked up with Ducky (thanks nicole ;) ) spooning is his new favourite pastime!

more shots of said snow

Other than that we are just hitting month end at work so long hours and trying to get things to balance ... kinda fun kinda sucks

More updates soon ... promise!!

Coming to you live from ....

Hamilton Airport .... yip really not that exciting and trust me i wish i was somewhere else as well!!!!

Things have been a bit crazy, i keep saying, and believing, that my life will calm down and it wont be crazy ... and well ... i think im coming to the realization that my life will always be crazy.

Last Sunday i flew to Hamilton and then drove to Pittsburgh ... silly immigration laws. Im a permanent resident of Canada but you need a PR card to travel in and out of the country by Plane, Train or Boat, but because i am legal i can drive across the boarder, hence the flight and drive. The drive is 6 hours and to be honest nearly all the way its beautiful and lovely and i really couldn't complain...

I spent a week at our plant site which is actually just outside Pittsburgh, i have had an awesome time, some days i was actually laughing until i cried so much fun with the girls down there!! And i even seemed to get a LOT of work done, we worked hard but tried to make it fun at the same time so it didnt seem like we were working so hard!

i tried some local restaurants that i have only seen in films before ... that was kinda fun

then of course there were the groundhogs they are so so cute i was so excited the local Pittsburgh people not so much ... same with blue jays!!

other than that i spend most of my time eating or at target ... oh how i love target... i didnt get too much but i did get some stuff i have been after for a while so that worked out!

Tonight im going to get back to Calgary pretty late and i have to say i cant wait to see spaz and get a cuddle. and the HAM-ster too of course ;)

believe it or not i didnt even take one photo whilst i was away so i have nothing to share ....

hope everyone else has been having a great weekend!!
