1 year today..

1 year today my Nanny passed away at 1:30pm. I still don't understand it all. I mean my Nanny was suppose to live forever, to outlast me. Nanny and I used to talk every Sunday night ever since I moved away. It was a date. I could talk to Nanny about anything and everything, things I didn't talk to my sisters, my mother or my friends about. It was just so easy to talk to Nanny. I still go to pick up the phone some Sundays then realize that she's not there anymore. It never fails, every Sunday I think of her. I haven't fully dealt with her death yet, I still can't watch our wedding video as Nanny is on it. I've just begun to be able to look at our wedding pictures again. But I still cry. A couple of weeks after our wedding, Nanny went into the hospital and was only out for a week before she went back in again at Christmas. Funny, I made her scrapbook of our wedding pictures for a Christmas gift. I wasn't able to make it home and kept after mom to bring the gift to the hospital so that Nanny could see it. This was before she had gotten very ill and we had no thoughts of her passing. There was just something itching at me that Nanny had to see this scrapbook and soon. Jenni showed it to her Christmas Day and Nanny got very ill Boxing Day. So she did get to see it before she passed. I thank god for that. I wish so much that she could still be around, there are so many things I would like to tell her.

Here are some pictures of Nanny on my wedding day - September 24, 2005.

I love and Miss you Nanny - forever and ever........

Wow, what a Christmas!

Wow, we had a wonderful christmas! I was off on Thursday afternoon so that's when the crazyness began! I finished up my shopping and did my groceries that night. Friday Wes did his shopping and I baked some banana bread and went to the market. Saturday Mom, Wendy and Kadence came for a quick visit. It was really nice to see them. Kadence is sooo sweet! I took a few pics but didn't bring my camera here with me. We made cherry bread that evening. Sunday we cleaned up and Kathy, Brenda, Carter and Keith came over for supper. We ordered chinese and I made a cheesecake for dessert. Later on that evening we went up to Kathy and Brenda's for some snacks. We came home, watched a bit of a Christmas movie, put out our gifts and went to bed. We woke up at 7:00 christmas morning and started opening the gifts! Later that day we went to Kathy and Brenda's again for supper! Yummy!

Some gifts that I received are: New comforter set, microwave, cd player for our car, a whole bunch of rudolf stuff (6 ornaments, 2 snowglobes, stocking, 3 of the characters that speak and sing!), hand held tetris game, wallet, Victoria Secret body lotion-spray-body wash, Rascall Flatts CD, tupperwear, gift certificate to Peningtons, Dale Jr hat, ummmm, OC season 3, turkey platter, 2 foot files, popcorn maker! Wow, the list keeps going on and on! The comforter set and Microwave were combined gifts for Wes and myself.

So needless to say, we had a great Christmas!! Now I'm back to work! But I only have 3 days to work then a 3 day weekend, so not too bad. We had planned to head up North yesterday but we got too much snow and didn't want to risk. So we may head up this weekend.

I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas!!

OH MY GAWD - 3 more days!!

Wowsers, only 3 more days until Christmas!!!

WHOOHOO!!


This will be my last day at work until after Christmas. I want to wish everyone a

and a

Happy New YEAR!

Only 6 more days...

Wowsers, only 6 more days and it's Christmas. Or another way to think of it is exactly one week from today, we'll be opening gifts! Imagine!!!

So it could be a busy week!! Well actually not really, until payday anyway! Payday is Thursday. I took Friday off to get some extra stuff done. I'm going to head out to the grocery store bright and early that morning to get our christmas order. I may even have to wait in line I'll be that early! Then i have to run around to a few other places and pick up the last gift for Wendy and James, last thing for Wes' mom and a few things for Wes. Mom, Wendy and Kandence may be down on Saturday for a couple of hours for a quick visit. That'll be nice. They have never been to my place around Christmas time. I think Wes and I will make some Cherry Bread and some sweets that afternoon or no Christmas eve day. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

The Christmas House

Well Sunday night we took a drive to St. Margarets to the Christmas House! Wow, he has over 3 acres of land and it's covered in pathways and lots of lights. He even has a replica of a church that I am taller than! It probably goes to around my waist area or so. He has a bon fire every night for people to stand near and get warm. He also has a little barn type thing with a ceremic village in it. It's beautiful! There is a pond with ducks in it - he said they stay there all winter long. He made a little heated hut for them but they won't go in it! They sleep on the ice!

Anyway, here are a few pics. Of course the ones that was taken of the yard didn't really turn out because it was dark. As well, my batteries died on me!

Only 12 DAYS UNTIL CHISTMAS!

Well.....

Well, isn't time just flying by! Not much longer now and Christmas will be here and gone! We're heading to Moncton tomorrow after work for a little shopping. I took Friday off so we'll be hitting the mall that day. Hopefully we'll get the rest of our shopping done!

Last night we took a drive around and looked at Christmas lights. There are quite a few that are decorated so far. I guess every year there is this place in St. Margarets that decorate like crazy and have this little village type thing set up. I haven't heard yet or not if it's been set up thus far, but we'll definately be taking a spin out there sometime to see it.
