Spring has Sprung

Yesterday B bought the bbq he's been wanting for a while. He set it up and cooked us some yummy steaks. It was my last supper before joining WW.

Yup I rejoined Weight Watchers . The weight is sneaking back on and I do NOT want to be fat ever again so I go on Tuesdays now.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo Happy.. yesterday B bought me something that I've been wanting since I was a young girl. LILY OF THE VALLEY, my absolute favorite flower of all time.

They are only leaves right now but they will bloom soon and I will be ecstatic :) I will document their progress on here :)

Meh

Kaiti and I went for coffee this past weekend. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine.

We are so lucky to live where we do. Their are some beautiful horses that we get to watch frolicking in the fields. I wish I wasn't allergic to them so I could enjoy them more.

Still no word on when I will go see the allergist.. ugh!

Meh

Woke up this morning to a beautiful sunrise... so of course I took some pics LOL

I had a terrible time with my computer yesterday, all because I was trying to remove a stupid Microsoft product. It ended up screwing with my antivirus that I had installed and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it just wasn't working. I even did a system restore which made things worse! Today I have managed to work around it and come up with a fix I can live with! Let's keep our fingers crossed that it keeps working.

This afternoon before B went to work we stopped off at the hall that we'd like to rent for our wedding. The lady we talked to was very nice and showed us around. The only problem is .. they might be booked for the weekend we want so we have to wait until the end of the week to find out. I sure hope we don't have to change our wedding date AGAIN!

We went to Wal-Mart to pick up B's glasses and I bought a few things I needed. We came home and just lounged around until it was time for B to go to work. I hadn't eaten all day so I made some chicken nuggets..YUMMO!

I have been reading a really good book, Until You Are Dead. It is about a Canadian man who was falsely accused of murder back in the 50's who served time in prison and was even supposed to be executed but apparently he was kept in jail for many years... I love to read about serial killers, mass murderers, murder in general and crime. Some people think that is very strange. It's not a morbid fascination that I have, simply I like to read about the criminal mind because it is so far from who I am and I find it very interesting.

My Fiance

I didn't want my sweetie to feel left out LOL so here are some pics of him :)


He works in corrections, hence the uniform :)

Mother Nature is BiPolar!

What a busy and crazy week. A few days ago it was like summer out.. then yesterday it starts snowing!

There are a lot of flowers blooming around here and we always drive by this farm with daffodils.. I just HAD to take a pic..

Kaiti and I took advantage of the nice weather last week and took a walk down the old dirt road by our house. Of course being the photography nut that I am, I had to take pics of that too ! lol

Check out the cute pony and momma horse :) Damn, I love living out here in the country!

I think Barry and I have found a venue for our wedding. It is literally 2 mins from our house. We can have the ceremony in the back yard, and the reception in the hall and its only $200!

We have also decided on our wedding colors. We are going with shades of Blue and Yellow.

I haven't decided if I will wear a wedding dress or just a formal dress of some sort. Lots to think about still, but at least we have the venue figured out! phew!

It's Gonna Be a Hot One

They have forcasted it to be in the low 20's today. I have no faith in weathermen...
So, I got up at 5am with Barry and had this beautiful site out my living room window..

It's a tad blurry..it was 5 am.. whaddyawant!

Kaiti and I went to a garage sale down the street at 9 am. We found some goodies. I collect glass and I found a few choice items :)(pictures to follow). I also like Scottish things, so I bought a tartan tin, and some records, two bagpiper ones and a Bay City Roller album.. all in excellent condition.
I also bought a mini picture of the local parliment buildings here.
Kaitlin bought a cup and saucer and a chinese soup bowl and spoon.
Eclectic bunch we are! lol

We are off to the library today. We attemped to join the local library last week and were told we live in the wrong jurisdiction so today we are trying another library..sheesh!

Hopefully the weather man is right and today will be hot and sunny!

The Parental Units

Yesterday my parents came over from the mainland to visit. We had a nice time. We went for lunch and drove around. My dad is an ex military guy so we took him to some Air Force related stores so he could look at all the goodies. I bought him a nice t-shirt for a souvenir. The time went too quickly, like it always does. We drove them back to the ferry around 5.

I have been suffering from allergies lately. I am not sure if its just a seasonal thing or if it could be related to the fact that we live near so many animals and trees, and fields now LOL! I finally caved in and went to the clinic and the Doc gave me a prescription for Flonase and another spray to try. He also is referring me to an allergist as I want to get shots for my allergies. I am told there is a long waiting list so I am waiting to hear back from them.

I was pretty tired after all this running around and was ready to crash then Barry said that we were going to the gym!!! I'm glad I went. I mostly focused on my abs and hips. I need to get my ass in gear and lose my 15-20 lbs before the wedding. We also need to get on program with that as well.

Today I am going to be doing laundry and just catching up on stuff around here. I'm pretty sure we will be back at the gym tonight..depending on how tired Barry is after work.

We are mostly moved in.. all the boxes I can't deal with right now are in storage LOL! They will be unpacked one at a time.
