I guess it has been a while huh...
Well, good news, I plan to upload a lot of pictures onto my flickr.com account (I am "theanykey"). You have to be a registered user to view any of my pix, because I only have a couple available to the public, the rest are for friends and family only. I am just neurotic like that.
So, we intend to give our 1 months notice to move the heck out of this house, and into my Mom and Dad's basement until we can get our $#!+ together and move back to Edmonton.
I plan to ask my soon to be cousin-in-law Genevieve if she can find out if she would be allowed to have me come in to her classroom to get the feel of being a teacher, to ask her questions, and see what it is like. I also want to ask my cousin Craig, who proposed to her on the 22nd of December, 2005, if I could come to some of his classes at school, where he is studying to be a High School teacher!
Congratulations to Craig and Genevieve on your engagement! I love you, and wish you both lots of happiness!
ALSO, Congratulations are in order for my seester, Joy, and my Brother-in-law to be, Mat!
Here's a pic:
Also in the picture, are my Auntie Mel, proud Mummy to Craig, and "Mummy in Law to be" to Genevieve, and her daughter Kaitlin, Craig's "seester".
Mat proposed to Joy Christmas morning! She then tried unsuccessfully to show off her ring to me, but I am oblivious, so I didn't see her ring as she was practically waving her hand in front of my face while I was driving to Mom and Dad's that afternoon.
Mat even went to my parent's house to ask my Father for his permission before he proposed! I figured that custom would be outdated, but Craig asked Genevieve's Father, too! (He had to call, because they live in different cities, but wow!).
In my opinion, WOW! That shows tremendous respect for your other halfs family to ask permission before hand! What would you do if they said no??? Oy.
And it is so romantic!
Sigh :)!
Well, I hope that everyone had a great Christmas!
I have to mention some of the presents I got!
I got Seasons 8 and 10 on DVD of Friends ( I already had 9), and I watched the finale and then all of season 8 on Chrsitmas Day.
I got a BEAUTIFUL Handmade by my Autie Chair Journal/Dream Book, complete with address book and front cover picked out just for me from my Mommy and Daddy. It is so beautiful!
I got an awesome hand picked gift set from J, Chair and Theya (part of gift exchange)! It included a book called "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran, and a beautiful, beautiful wooden box filled with oil incense, charcoal on which to burn the oil incense, a stone plate thing to put the charcoal on while it is burning, candles and a moon and star candle holder, Himalayan bath salt crystals in a beautiful little bag, a bundle of sage for smudgeing, a necklace with wooden beads, a purple bead bracelet, and a bunch of little white rocks, that I unfortunately, do not know if they serve a purpose, because I am "blonde" like that.
I got some super freakin' warm slippers from Jarrod, because he said he hated my old ones...
I got an awesome game from Chris for Christmas: 20 Q (20 questions)
But gotta go do the New Year thing!
Happy New Year!
