Happy New Year's!!!

Still can't believe this year is over. It seems like it just started! It's been an interesting year, that's for sure. Good things, not so good things, fun times, sad times, this year had it all! It seems like the older you get, time goes by faster. So, I definately thought that at 25 years old, my life would be a little different but I've finally learned that although making plans and goals is good, they almost always change and that's okay. Change isn't a bad thing! It can be hard at times but it's an opportunity to learn and grow as a person. My favourite thing this year, hands down has to be my nephew Brody. I LOVE him so much! He's just so much fun. I love spending time with him and playing with him. He's such a great baby! He's growing up so fast. I'm gonna miss him so much when I'm at school next year but he promised he'd Skype me every night. My second favourite thing from this year would be my trip to California with Natalie, Steve, and Lorelai. They're such great friends. I had so much fun with them and meeting their families. I wish I could go every year with them! It would be a great tradition. There are so many things that I enjoyed about this year. I got to spend the Summer at school and live with one of my bestfriends and we had some great times! I was in a relationship that ended up not being so great but I learned SOOOOOO much about myself that I have to look at it as a good learning experience. Being back at home for the Fall, I was able to be with Family. My parents sold their house (we'd lived there for 19 years), I worked at a movie theatre (loved it!) and tons of other things that were good. There were also things that were hard to get through but it's better to write about the things that were good, cause that's what we remember in the end. Of course we don't forget that we had hard times and it's good to remember how we got through them but we won't forget that we did have hard times so we don't always have to write about them all. As this year comes to an end, of course I've thought about all the things I would like to do next year. I've set some goals for myself that involve school, and work, and family. I've set smaller goals this year so that I won't forget what I need to work on. My main goal for 2009 is to set smaller goals and not worry about things I can't control.
I wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year's!!! Have fun with friends and family! Tell the people you love that you love them! Make this year a great year!!!

Merry Merry Christmas!!!

So, I guess this is Christmas! This year has been a little different as we moved out of our house just 10 days ago that we had lived in for 19 years. It doesn't quite feel like Christmas but it is still Christmas because friends and family are around and that's the important thing. So, I'd like to wish everybody a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's. I hope everyone is safe driving around in the snow! Don't drive if you're drinking! Be Good!!! Remember that the Christmas Season is all about celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. He's the reason that we're all here and even if you don't believe in Christ, I'm willing to bet that you can feel that there is something special about this time of year, so enjoy it with friends and family!

Change Again!

So, it was time for change again! I'm gonna colour it again soon but for now I just got it cut. They took off a lot! It may not look like it but it feels like it! All my hair is gone and I like it! I thought I would be totally devastated but I like it! It's easier to look after! I look horrible in the pictures but thought they'll do for now!

Santa....I KNOW HIM!!!

So, lastnight I was working at the movie theatre and in walks Santa! It was really him! and I'm all, "Santa, I know him!" So, of course everyone busts out laughing! The guy standing infront of him in line was totally floored and when he got up to the counter he totally forgot what movie he wanted to see! It was pretty funny! I got to help Santa and he came to buy a gift card! He was still dressed as Santa and he talked like he was actually Santa! It was pretty cool! So, if you're in doubt you can now rest assured knowing that he really is real! Merry Christmas!

Home Sweet Home no more!!!

Last night was my last night in our house! I moved all my things into my new place, and even though I'm headed back to school in a few weeks, it's all a little sad! We were in this house for almost 19 years so it's natural to be a little sad that we're leaving after all this time. My parents found a new place in Coquitlam but won't be able to move until February so they'll be in a hotel until then. Things are going good though and all the moving is almost done...for now atleast! I'll be moving again come January when I head back to school. You'd think that I would be used to moving, I've moved about 20 times in the past 6 years! The joys of being at school and on a mission! Well, I guess it hasn't been too bad! I still don't like packing and unpacking and the whole process of moving, it's just not that fun! It's almost all done though, so I'm looking forward to that!

Brody's first sleep over!

Brody had his first night away from home last Friday! It was so much fun to have him here! I loved it! I love that Joe and Laura let me take him whenever I want. It gives them a break and it's good for Brody to be around family and get used to other people. He only woke up once (it was about 5am) and he was up for about an hour. I changed him and fed him and he got a bit fussy but I always just talk to him (and not in baby talk, I hate that!) I talk to him like he totally can understand me! LOL! and I told him that he had to be quiet so he wouldn't wake up Nanny or Papa! I sang him back to sleep and then he didn't wake up again until 10am. He did so great! I'm so proud of him. I'm gonna miss him soooooooooooooo much when I go back to school in January but it's not forever and I'll just have to Skype them everyday so I can see my little man!

Movin' on out!

My parents finally sold the house! We need to be out of the house by December 15th! Sucks, I know!!! They amazing part is that they actually found a new place in Coquitlam but the down side is that they can't move in until February. The people said that if they can find a place earlier then they'll move out so we can move in earlier. That would be nice but for now my parents will be in a hotel in Langley and I'll be moving in with my brother and sister in law which I don't mind at all cause I'm pretty much there all the time anyways! I'm headed back to school in January too so things have been crazy around here with packing and getting things organized and ready for the big move. Hope all goes well. Saturday the 13th will be the main moving day so that things aren't left to the last minute. It's a little sad as we've been in this house for almost 19 years now. There's a lot of memories here so of course being sad is normal but I keep telling my Mom (who is the main water works around here anytime you mention how sad it is that we're moving after all this time) it's not the actual place you live in that makes it a home, it's the feeling you create so we can have a home anywhere! Change is good...sometimes! It will be fun to decorate! I get to help picking out new things and stuff like that so I look forward to that. Well, I'll keep upto date with how the move goes!

Gotta love a free movie!

So, my job at a movie theatre definately has its perks! The best one being the free movie part! To date, I've only seen 4 movies so far so I've been watching about one a week. The first one I went to was 'Changeling', Laura went with me. It was great! I really enjoyed it. Of course I then went to see 'Twilight' and I took Laura again. Not bad but not that great either. I then took my Mamma to see 'Australia' and Laura came with us. I LOVED it! I don't know why it got such bad reviews??? It was Hugh Jackman for almost 3 hours! Who wouldn't love that?! Tonight I took Debbie to see 'Four Christmases', which wasn't as good as I thought it would be but it was pretty funny. So, I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to viewing movies. I go to see a movie only expecting to be entertained so I usually leave satisfied. It takes a lot for me to actually hate a movie. There are a handful of movies that I strongly dislike, but for the most part I do enjoy most movies. I'm really gonna miss my free movie viewing when I head back to school in January, but I'll keep enjoying them for now.

Twilight's over!

So, the craziness of Twilight came on opening weekend and it stayed for all of 2 days and then it left. I'm not surprised though, it wasn't that good! It wasn't horrible but it wasn't good. It was pretty much right in the middle. The good thing about it was that it stayed pretty true to the book. Very little was changed in the film adaptation. The obvious condensing of things happened due to the need of getting enough important events in the book into the movie. There were moments that definately brought on the cringe factor! A lot of lines were actually pulled from the book. The number one noteworthy horrible line (and it wasn't from the book) was when Bella was talking to Edward in the cafeteria and she says to him, "your mood swings are kinda giving me whiplash". LAME!! I couldn't stop laughing! Anyways, since no more books are to be written (which I still think is a bad move on Meyer's part) the mania will hopefully subside until the next movie will be released which I believe will be in 2010. So, until then.....
