Despite what you may think, I am still alive.
It's been busy, and needless to say - I think many people will find this time of year much more exciting then the winter months - when a weekly, or something daily tradition was to update the world on my life. Now, well it's too darn nice outside to sit still, and blog. It's tough to keep up with the growth of the grass on our property let alone challenging myself to a blog!
So work is going well. I am going to be signed off by around the first of June from training, which is about a month of the initial plan - so I am excited and thrilled to be soon on my own. I am still working 1-2 shifts a pay at the hospital for right now, and once I get into the swing of things at OPS I will hope to pick up more hours again.
Wedding plans are going great! We're in the final stages of the invitation design - I LOVE them. My Uncle Wayne is SO talented!! The Buck & Doe is coming up quickly, June 18th so we're really excited for that big night in Dundalk too! Time is FLYING!!
Neil is doing well - he's been a huge help around the house while I am away from home many nights now. I am SO lucky to have such a great husband-to-be willing to help out with the laundry and dishes. It sure feels good to come home and know everything can be taken care of. He has been spoiled while I was just working at Credit Valley, and I think he knows that.

| Lennox`s - 6 weeks old |
Lennox is still growing like crazy! Her 1st Birthday is this Saturday. We are renting a doggy safe blow up castle, having a doggy bone cake and everyone`s invited!! Keep an eye out in the mail for your invite! So come on over and bring your puppy too! JUST KIDDING. I am totally NOT that person. This girl is working at the hospital, nights! We have a busy day on Saturday, but of course she`ll get some extra loving.

| Lennox & Neil - Love On the 1st day we brought her home. 6 Weeks Old |
She is crazy about Neil. I can be home with her all day, she is good and barely bugs me. She loves being outside, and cannot get enough of the birds. When Neil gets home, she wants ALL of his attention, and wants to be played with. One day I tried playing with her before I knew he`d be home, to try to tire her out - and I wasn`t good enough. The moment he got home, she was bugging him to play. She is even as suggestive as to bring the ball in the house, and set it on his lap. She is so funny!
She has been testing the `water` out at the river which is about a 5 minute walk from our door, and she is loving it! She`s so funny to watch.
She is also loving running alongside Neil on the walking and biking trails by our house. As soon as we get out bikes out, she knows. I have a feeling most summer walks will turn into swims in the river, so just loves it!
orld.. meet Dexter! This is Lennox`s cousin! This is my Aunt Marilyn, Uncle Al, and cousins Fraser and Adam`s little puppy Dexter. He is around 10 weeks old now, I think. Isn`t he ADORABLE. Lennox was SO good with him, and he was adorable with her. I think they`ll be great friends.

| Our beautiful pear tree - I just love the smell and flowers! |
So finally, spring has sprung - we`re testing out the skills of our greenhouse and my green thumb and trying planting some peppers, tomatoes, and herbs early to give things a little head start. They have slowly started to come to life. I also planted a couple planters of wildflowers for the front of the house. They are coming along too. Here`s the progression of the planters.. the tomatoes, peppers and herbs have a little less `noticeable ` growth but they are still coming along.
Last week we cut out grass twice. Over the weekend we worked on rototilling the garden, and weeding out the flower beds. I am bound and determined to get a green thumb and get my mother helping me out with the gardening thing! She always has such an awesome garden and I want one too!! I got some pansies at the farmers market on Friday so we planted them and Mom brought me some perennials too, so I mixed up the stuff and planted it around. Hopefully in a few weeks everything will look really good!
Ok, I will update you all again soon. xoxo
