Proud Mommy

I am such a proud mommy this past weekend. I have the best pug in the world!!!! Friday afternoon I decided that my dog looked a little scruffy. It looks like spring is in the air because she is losing her winter coat. So she just sat down and let me brush her for a good hour. Usually this is quite that task when it comes to her. She doesn't like brushings very much, but she just took it in and enjoyed eveyr minute of it. Or so it seemed that way. She wasn't too egar to get away from us. Then on Saturday Cam and I decided that it was such a nice weekend here in Edmonton that we should seize the day and take our dog out for a walk. We had to go to the store to pick some stuff up anyways, so put on her leash and off we went. She walked right beside Cam and me the whole way. She wasn't tugging on her leash or wandering all over the place. However, there were many puddles that were around so we had to dodge over those somehow so then she would do what she had to do to get past them. She would love the shallow ones. She could get a drink from them and walk right through them. As soon as the puddle would get to deep for the monkey she would jump out and go to the next puddle to see what that one had in store for her. She loves puddles, who knew? She got to meet a puggle (beagle pug cross) he was only 7 weeks old. Very very cute. By the time we got home I thought I owned a black pug. She was DIRTY. So we had to carry her right to the bathtub for a bath. Bath's usually aren't her favorite, but for whatever reason this time she just stood there and let dad scrub her down. I was so proud at how well behaved she was. She got an extra treat for the day. Again..... I LOVE my pug :o)

March Madness

The month of March has been complete madness for me. I have been so involved in my surroundings that I haven't had any me time to work on my blog. We have been busy entertaining guest at our house. After Cam's sister Jenn left we took a week off and just relaxed and enjoyed a little down time before the madness of March began.

The beginning of March my best friend came up for a visit. Nikita was here for a long weekend. It was so much fun. I realized how much I have really missed her. When we were going to school in Cranbrook we were basically together 24/7 especially after Cam moved out to work in Alberta. It was great we had a fantastic living arrangement and understanding. While she was here visiting she was offered a job to fill in for maternity leave for a year at my office. I think after careful consideration she wasn't too interested as she had other obligations in Nelson. We then found out that one of our employee's was leaving us, therefore a full time position opened up. So again I offered it to her, because I thought how great will it be to work with my best friend in an office full of my other new friends. So hopefully she can come for that job, but if not then maybe another time.... I am in Edmonton for a while.

This upcoming weekend is one that I am most looking forward to. All of my bridesmaids are going to be here under one roof, yes poor Cam and Ryan. We will have a weekend full of laughs, good times, and maybe the occasional tear. I will be busy this week arranging for things for us all to do. My best friend Nicole is coming from Kelowna, it has been about 1.5 years since I have seen her. My cousin that I grew up with like a sister, Brynn is coming from Montreal, and I haven't seen her in 2+ years. I live with my sister, and see my other cousin Amber frequently. I don't really have many words to describ how excited I am for everything. It seems as the day is approaching I get more and more excited, and fall more and more in love with Cam.

It's Here!!!

It is in and it is gorgeous :o)

My DRESS IS HERE!!! I am so excited. I came home from work on friday afteroon kinda bummed. I went out shopping with a couple of girls from work and we went to LuLuLemon to buy some new pants. I was really excited about this. I really wanted a new pair. I don't know how, I can't really explain it, but something came over me telling me not to buy anything today. Think it over, don't be impulsive as I usully am. So I watched these two girls buy whole outfits at LuLu and I didn't buy a thing. I was a little bummed.

So here I was sitting on my couch listening to Cam and his buddy Carl exchange stories about what has been going on in their lives. Then all of assuden Cam turned to me and said, 'oh, by the way some lady called today and said your dress was in.' He then turned back to his conversation. I quickly took one look at my sister and we both got VERY excited about this news. At that point we both cleared our plans for the night and we were off to pick up this dress that we have been anticipating the arrival of. So we kinda made a night out of it. We went out to West Ed Mall, and then tried it on and 'ewwd and awwwd' the dress and then I paid for it and we went for supper to Cheesecake Cafe. It was an excellent night. One of the best Friday nights I have had in a week ;o)

I had the pleasure of trying on my dress this morning after my shower to see how my veil looked with the dress. Perfect! So now all I have to do is get it hemmed. That is it. This dress fits me as if it was made specifically for me. I need no other alterations other than the hem. I am so happy right now. I would post a picture of it, but then that would ruin the surprise.

Mawhahahaha

Where have I been?

Good morning all :o) I know it has been a while since I have last posted anything. Things have been a little busy as of late with going to Vancouver, Cam's sister Jen coming for a visit, and getting back into routine. This is going to be such a busy month for us in this little house of ours. One of my best friends is coming to visit me next weekend (insert huge smile here), my bridesmaids are all coming this month to visit and get delegated to (wink wink, insert even bigger smile) and my sister and Ryan move out at the end of the month. I have come to my own terms with Danielle moving out. I know that it is a good thing not only for her and Ryan, but also for me and Cam. I think that Zoe might take it the hardest ;o) crazy dog she loves everyone. Anyway I just wanted to say hi to those who read my little blog and that I will be back at posting more stories to share soon.

This is Zoe's bed, courtesy of her favorite auntie Danielle. I think that we need to find a new cover for it that we can wash regularly. She loves to play and fight with this bed, but most of all she loves to sit on it and wait for her family to come home.
