Here's a little update for ya's!
Things have been a little quiet lately, all is well though. Wes went to see the Doc yesterday about his shoulder and they will be doing another surgery within the next couple of months. Doc said it would be sometime this spring, so I'm thinking within the next two months. He's not real sure what the problem is, but that it's probably soft tissue related which they can't pick up on xray. So they will do the surgery Arthroscopically to see if they can find the problem. If they can fix it, they will. If not, they may have to go in again after that surgery (probably a couple of months down the road) and go in the back this time. We were hoping that after his last surgery it would be the last one. Because physio didn't work out the way we expected, there is yet another bump in the road. He's lucky though, that his doc is willing to keep exploring to see the problems. Some won't take the time, as in two docs he's already seen. Once again, we may need a couple of good thoughts sent to the big guy upstairs!
Other than that, we're hoping to look at a house to rent this weekend. We're quite stoked. It's a 3 bedroom 1.5 story brick house. We drove by a couple of times and will see it Friday or Saturday. If all is well and our big bed fits, we'll move for May 1!
That's it for now. I'll try to post again early next week!
Take Care all!

Pics
Well here are a few pics that I've taken recently. Nothing major though!
First ones are of my new hair color! hahaha!! Yeah I'm weird I know. Honestly though, this is the first time that I had my hair professionally done! The pics don't do it justice and I'm sooooo not photogenic! My sister did an awesome job!! If your ever in Moncton and looking for a new do - look up Glow in the phone book and ask for Staci!
These next two are of the shower curtain that I made last week and my new antique 'box' I bought at Homesense! I thought it matched great with the bathroom and works as a little storage accessery
The next 3 are of one of Wes' diorama's that he has made. He's done 3 so far. This was the first one he did in a display case. Many of you may be thinking 'what is a diorama'. My explanation is that it's like a little scene miniature size. The car in this case, he put together (1/18th scale) and made everything else inside except the case it self. He made the bench, the little stands for the car, painting all the pieces, made the stool and all that fun stuff. It's quite a bit of work, but he does a good job at it. He's working on another one now and I'll try to post those pics when he's done.
Here's a little baby blanket that I made about a month back for a friend. It's already been given to her but I haven't been given the ok to announce the pregnancy. So I'll leave it at that until I can!
I think that's enough gloating for today!!
Take care y'all!
Miss ya's!

3 day weekend....
3 day weekend and it's over already! God time sure flies by!
Birthday went great! Spoiled as usual! I got an MP3 player, little clay angel with my birthstone, beautiful silver necklace with pink stone and earrings to match, Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine, and an Exercise Ball with the DVD. Plus I did some shopping in Moncton! I was planning on having some real bad food Thursday for supper for my birthday (chinese) but when it came down to it, I couldn't do it because I was scared I would get crampy and stuff because I haven't eatten that in quite a while, so I settled for a McDonald's Chicken Salad instead! Wes' mom, sister and nephew came over later that evening and we had strawberry shortcakes! Yummy!!
Friday we left for Moncton around 8:30, dropped Wes off at Champlain and I went and got my hair done by my sister. I love it! It's a darker brown with 2 diff colors highlights. I took some pics and will post soon! She did an awesome job! After that I went to the mall to meet Wes and we strolled around a bit then went to a hobby shop he wanted to go to, then Michaels and Homesense! God I love those places! I bought a few things then we headed home before the storm!
Saturday we were storm stuck so I enjoyed the day relaxing!
Sunday I went to the gym - GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!? I lost another 4 lbs and am up to 22 lbs lost! Whohooooooo!! I love it! 22lbs in 10 weeks!!!
So all in all we had a great weekend!

Another weekend over...
Yet another weekend is over! They seem to fly by so fast! It was a beautiful weekend, weather wise though! Sunday we decided to go outside and chop at some thick ice in the driveway to start clearing it up. Great idea at the time, but I'm paying for it now. My lower back is killing me and I'm having a hard time to sit here at work, never mind walking around. I'm thinking it either had to do with the ice (most likely) or I slept in a really bad position. Not sure which one!
Speaking of sleeping, what a hard time I had to sleep last night. With this time change and all! Usually I'm ready for bed around 9:30. Well we went in around 10 and I could not close my eyes! I got back up and stayed up until 11:50! In reality to me it was 10:50. Needless to say I'm a wee bit tired today!
So I weighed in on Saturday. Lost 1 lbs. This brings my total to 18. When I think about 18 lbs I think - 1. I should be around 22 right now'ish then think 2. 18 lbs is quite a bit. I lifted a bag of potatoes yesterday that was 7 lbs and that was heavy enough, add another bag plus a half of one, and wowsers 18lbs is quite a bit! It's still hard to wrap my head around it. I was hoping for at least 3-5 lbs this week where it had been 3 weeks since I last weighed in. My eating habits may have swayed some so this week I'm getting a bit more strict with myself and am going to try to avoid my beloved bagels. Subsitute for Weight Watcher bread, which is about 110 calories less. Probably not as filling, but may get my craving. Plus I need to eat more fruits and veggies during the day instead of the ligtht 90 calorie snacks I've been eating. You think 90 calories - not bad. But if you eat 3 of them that's 270 calories! So my goal this week is to eat more fruit and veggies and less bagels!
Big birthday week! Nothing major planned except a trip to Moncton on Friday. Thursday will be birthday celebration (no cake - but strawberry shortcake!) and maybe a few presents! That's about it! It should be nice, I always look forward to getting older!?!? ;o)
That's it for now. I'll try to write more by the end of the week!

Hi y'all...
The weekend is over and work has begun again! Oh well, at least it's Tuesday and there are only 3 more days of work besides today!
Our weekend was great! We took a spur of the moment trip to Moncton and got to see Julie and Gerry and Staci for a bit. We also took a trip to Champlain Mall, HomeSense and Michaels! I picked up a few little things. It was a great trip and nice to get away!
My weigh in didn't go as planned (unforseen bowel issues), but I will be jumping on this weekend. It seems to be down again, so we'll see. I'm hoping it is!!
Other than that, things are quiet. I'm finally done knitting all the squares for my little afghan/blanket type thing I'm making. It took long enough!! Hopefully I'll get up home or Mom will get down to see me so she can teach me how to crochet it all together. I attempted to sew the squares together, but it didn't look good. So I'll wait until I get some help to finish it off! I'll post a pic of it once it's completed.
My 28th birthday is next week! Wow, can't believe I'll be 28 already! Time sure flies! No real big plans I don't think. I'm taking Friday the 16th off and we're heading to Moncton again. Staci is going to do my hair - trim, color and highlight. Quite anxious for that, I need a little change!
Well I should be on my way for now. Almost break time!
Take Care all!

Salut..
Salut...I'm sitting here at work, debating what to do this weekend. Yeah, you can tell I'm busy at work! hahaha! I know a few trips to the gym will be involved and a weigh in. I'm hoping for another 3 lbs lost. Fingers crossed! Other than that, not real sure. Tonight we're going to watch Carter swim I think. Tomorrow night I will probably do some groceries. I know that I do need to knit a bit more to finally be done this blanket I've been working on and maybe start my other one. Except the other one will not be knit, it'll be sewn. Other than that, I'm not real sure.
Today is 2 weeks from my 28th birthday. Imagine, already 28! Time sure seems to fly by that's for sure. I can remember turning 16 and 18 when life was just starting and you wanted to be older. Now I'm thinking that 10 years flew by way too fast, will the next 10 years fly by just as fast?!? Turning 28 also makes me think a bit about what I've accomplished. I think I've done pretty darn good so far, although after I got married I thought I would have had a child by now. Dear old Mother Nature is sure taking her time with that. All in all, I think I've done pretty good. Yeah there are probably a few other things I would have liked to have done, but I still have lots of time for that. There are also things that I never thought I would have done that I did do in the past 10 years. Like getting married for an example. As many of you will vouch, I never thought the day would come, or shall I say wanted it to come. I guess deep down inside, I wanted it, but never thought it would happen. Of course, until my knight in shining armour came along and swung me off my feet!
Life can change so instantly, when you least expect. I am definately an example of that. And always remember, life is too precious to let it pass by. Live every moment as though it were your last.
One last thing, to all those of you that do read this, remember that you all mean so much to me and I appreciate your friendship even though I may not be in contact as often as I should be. As I wrote on Myah's blog earlier, we all lead different lives now and we don't always have much time as we would like to to keep in contact. Please know that I always think of you.
Wow, quite sappy eh...I mean it though........
