winter, spring and I were very happy.. now you just show up and wreck the relationship.. thanks. ps/ leave.

Doesn't she look annoyed.. I think so!!

Ok, so who's annoyed? I am! Spring and I had a good thing going, and that damn winter wrecked it as of today. Neil had done the poo-duty in the back yard yesterday (apparently Lennox pooped a lot this winter!!) and raked the sand, stones and crap out of the front lawn yesterday. We were so ready for spring, and even noticed our tulip bulbs were popping out! Now they are covered in a white blanket, again. So here we are, Sunday April 3rd, covered in white - again. I would like to note that Neil started singing Christmas Carol's tonight, so I almost slapped him. If he doesn't show up to work tomorrow, he continued - and I knocked him out. Just kidding. 

Ok, so we are once again in winter. I put the winter coats away, and almost washed the front door mats from the salt stains! Spring, you better return very soon. It would be nice if tomorrow I woke up and this was all gone. So Mother Nature, do me a favor and behave yourself tomorrow and get rid of this. 


Not so fast. I think I will wait another few weeks. 




We had a nice weekend, I worked yesterday at the hospital (it's so much nicer working there now a lot less {due to a long commute} - working ten minutes from home rocks!) and then came home, had a quick nap. In the midst of me trying to wake up, Neil went to a fire call and then we had a really late dinner! We went to Tamarisk & Greg`s buck & doe in Flesherton. It was so great to see everyone there! It definatley took me back to being a teenager (no, not the way I acted or how much I drank) but just being around the people I grew up with. Greg`s parents live on one side of my parents, and his uncle lives on the other side of my parents - we spent a lot of time with their families. I miss being younger and care free!! 


Today we went to a play put on at the Curtain Club in Richmond Hill - my Uncle's are involved there, Wayne helps out with the behind the scenes and ticket sales, and Cam is an amazing actor! We saw "Someone who'll watch over me" today, and it was very interesting. Only three actors in the whole play, and it was quite emotionally tugging. Here's a advertisement for the club, they put on some really great plays - my favourite so far has been "Don't Dress for Dinner!" Cam is the one in the middle of the three men (he plays the English academic). The synopsis is - "An American doctor and an Irish journalist are being held captive by terrorists in Beirut. They exercise, they argue, they do what they can to survive. Suddenly, they are joined by an English academic. The three men display their national biases and prejudices, intensified by the cramped confines of their cell. A roller coaster ride of emotional drama!"


After the play, we went back to their place and had Chinese take out for dinner and hung out with them for a while! We also went and checked out their new lot, which they are building a house on this coming summer - I am so excited for them - it is going to be so nice! They basically designed the house themselves, and seeing them go through all the planning, and the different stages of it all has been very exciting!! 


Then, on the way home, we (Grandma, Lyns, Grant, Mom, Neil & I) were driving along quite well until we reached Orangeville. What a different world here at home, as you see - we've been blessed with a dumping of snow tonight. Neil had just nicely planted his ass on the couch, after nicely throwing a load of laundry in the washer when his cell phone rang, it was his boss asking him to come in tonight to re-connect the plows, and sanders and to plow the town tonight. So needless to say, it's 11:15pm on Sunday night, Lennox and I are sitting here staying warm watching the CMA's and blogging and Neil is at work. I am sure he will be out for a while longer, and then again early in the morning.


The new job is going well, for anyone who cares. It's very exciting, and every single day is different there. I think I'm doing quite well (on a self evaluation stand point) and I am really enjoying it. I have been doing the 6:00pm firefighter test pages three nights in a row, which is exciting because one of the departments we dispatch for is Neil's fire department - so they get to hear my sweet voice whether they like it or not!! Anyways, keep your fingers crossed that I keep catching on well and the orientation continues to be smooth. So far so good. 


Wedding plans are currently at a stand still. I think we've got everything under control right now which is very exciting! I have even booked the hair dresser and makeup artist for the day! I am feel very good about everything, and feel like we're doing well. I would also like to note, Neil has started writing his speech! My fiancée is super amazing, can you believe that! I am so proud of him - he asked me to read what he's got so far and was already crying! I have said this before, keeping my emotions intact that day will be a huge priority!!  


By the way, we're LESS then SIX months away now!! Goodnight my friends.
