SOLD!!

So here it is..we sold our house. But to me it already feels like old news. It's been sold since the 9th. But we are so extremely happy and we got what we were hoping for it. This house has done us well.

So to celebrate we went to my parents cabin this last weekend. One last hurray before buckling down and packing. We have to be out of our house before August 10th!

There is always fantastic sunsets out at Arlington Beach. Pictures never do justice.
The weather was absolutely beautiful and the lake was soo calm..it was just a perfect day out. So we had to go and tear up the water with the Sea-doo and make some of our own waves! It was nice to be on the Sea-doo and not having to worry about being pregnant and hurting a baby inside of me! I could really let loose and have fun! It was the start of family camp and to welcome the campers they had pony's for the little kids to have rides. It was so cute and such a good idea. Here Akele is meeting a pony for the first time. She loved it. I'm sure she just thought it was a very large puppy. But she petted it and stroked it's neck.

All in all we really had fun at the lake. Great weather, good visits with friends and family and Akele enjoyed herself too.Plus my mom was there too to help out and take Akele for a little bit so David and I could go out and have a fire or whatever. My mother is more than happy to look after Akele. You know I thought her excitement for Akele would ware off a little after she had been around for a little while. But my mom still is sooo excited to see her and spend time with her. Truly unconditional love..not just when she was a newborn. Annyywwhooo...

So we're back home and now we have started to pack! I was a little bit unsure how well I would be able to get down to business and pack having Akele around all day. But she is so good and she likes to help mommy! I feel pretty good about all the packing I've done already. I just have a little bit left to do and there's still 3 weeks left!! HURRAY! But today was a very emotional day for me packing. I would be putting items into a box and then I would think about how long those things are going to be packed away for. Then I thought about when I would be opening them in our new house how Akele is going to be so different and so much bigger! So I would just watch Akele play and talk and just try to soak up every little thing about her at this age. It was just very sad for me at times. For those of you who don't know..we're moving in with my in-laws, and we could be living with them for up to a year! I know...very shocking..but it's not something we really planned on or really wanted to do..trust me. But things just are not progressing fast enough with the lot we want to buy. And we have to own the lot before we can start having our house built! Oh well..I'm sure I'll learn many lessons living with my in-laws...many!

For Sale

I haven't blogged in ages people and i'm sorry!

Well my house is for sale right now! It was posted on Friday before the long weekend. We had no bites on it over the weekend and I was becoming very discouraged. I know I shouldn't have because we knew it was July long weekend and everyone would be at their lakes etc. But for some reason I still got my hopes up. Then Tuesday came around and we got our first phone call. HURRAY! So we had 2 showings on Wednesday, 2 on Thursday and now we have 2 so far for Friday (which is today). There's an open house on Sunday and I know of a showing on Monday. On Monday at 7 pm we are reviewing our offers. I'm soo nervous about this and I really hope we get what we need. And possibly a little more would be nice too! Haha! :) I just keep praying that God will send the right buyer for this thing. There's been a lot of parents looking at it for the university student children. We have such a sweet neighbour that i would hate to sell to students who'll have parties and just upset our neighbour. It would be nice if a nice young family bought this!

We have done so much work on the house to fix it up for selling. It's so sad now that everything is done I don't want to leave. But I guess that's just how it goes and everyone does that. David built a new front step which is beautiful. And he built in in 1 day!!! We painted the shop and my dad help me lay some sod in the yard!

But even though we've been very busy we've had time for fun too. Whenever there is a showing on the house we have to leave, so we've gone to my parent's house and to my in-laws as well. I've always had my friend Joanne over with her baby Spencer for a dip in the kiddy-pool! Akele loves other babies and kids. She gets soo excited. Everyone keeps telling me that she needs a sibling. Trust me I know she does..it's just all about timing.:P For now she has fun with her cousins and her friends.

I took some pictures of the house so we'll always remember our beginnings, Akele's first house. I get too sentimental sometimes.

So Much To Do

Outside enjoying the hot weather.

Her new favorite thing is playing in the bathroom sink.

Akele's first time at Arlington Beach Camp (my lake). We had fun at my parents' cabin on May Long.

Sorry Bloggers that I have neglected you. But it seems like this is common with a lot of you lately..Facebook anyone?

Well my life has really begun to speed up in time! The time I have to get things done is very short. In the past couple of weeks we've decided to list our house by the end of June and move out. We have found out that the lots in Aberdeen will be ready by the end of the summer and we are #3 on their list. So that means we for sure will be buying a lot out there this summer. We are planning on having our house built by South Beach homes http://www.sbhomes.ca/ and move it out to Aberdeen.

Aberdeen really isn't' that far out of the city. We drove out there the other night to check out the lots and to have a visit with my friend who live out there also. From McOrmond Drive it takes 18 minutes driving at 100km/hour and it takes 16 minutes driving 110km/hr. So really..if i lived on the other side of the city i would be doing just as much driving or more. But I'm SO excited for everything to take place.

The stressful part..packing up our clutter in here to make our house presentable to potential buyers, taking pictures, listing the house on Saskhouseshttp://www.saskhouses.com/, mostly..what to list it for!! I've been researching it a LOT and praying about it..but I'm still undecided. We will just have to wait and see.

On a lighter note I figured i would just post some pictures of my baby girl.

22 Years Old

Well, I'm 22 years old now. It seems really weird to me. Sometimes I still think I'm this young 17 year old with no responsibility, but homework. But then I just look down and see my body and remember...no this is NOT what I looked like when I was 17!! But I'm trying to work on that. Georgie Mahan was at church yesterday and she looks absolutely amazing. She works hard! and I mean HARD! That's when I decided that I'm not going to look like how I want to without HARD work. Especailly cardio..which I hate. Put me in the gym lifting weights and I'd stay there all day...just don't put me on the treadmill!! So I'm going to start out slow and go for brisk walks around my block. I just can't start out jogging or my joints wont be able to handle it. Hopefully I can stay motivated. that's my biggest problem. So everyone keep tabs on me and make me!! haha

On a lighter note, I had a good birthday. My brother Kyle and his wife Maureen came into the city. They went to a wedding on Saturday. Kyle was asked to say the blessing over the food at the reception. It was a non-Christian wedding so Kyle was kinda nervous. But after he prayed for the food, everyone started clapping. I told Kyle that everyone must have been impressed with his geniune prayer.

David bought tickets to Delirium for my birthday! I'm so excited! I'm going May 13. It took a lot of hints for him to clue in to buying them. But I'm still very impressed, because the tickets a lot of money and I wasn't sure he'd be willing to pay something like that to see Cirque De Solie.

My mom and dad bought me clothes and then they bought me the best cook book EVER! I'm so excited to start using it. It gives you 12 weeks of recipes day by day. and then it breaks it all down for you. so for week 1 it will give you all the ingredients and groceries that you need to buy for every meal. How easy is that!

Akele was so cute with Maureen. She loved her and would laugh at her. Akele is the hardest baby to make laugh. I can only do so sometimes, but usually only David can. So for Akele to be laughing at Maureen, I was pretty impressed. She really liked Kyle too. Kyle would do his beat-boxing and other noises for her and she would just smile. I think she liked being held by Kyle too, seeing a lot more up there than she usually does with David and me.

The pictures above I love. The first one is of Akele sitting all by herself. She's such a big girl now. They grow up way too fast, and I know everyone says that..but they really do. I guess I'll just have to have another one here soon....

TGIF

You know, I use to really cling to that statement. Friday was the exciting day, last day of school or work before the weekend. Now I think everyday is a Friday!
So I have a pair of rollerblades and last night was my first time trying them out. I haven't rollerbladed since I was in grade 3 or 4. So it was a little scary. The only way I was able to do it was pushing Akele in the stroller. The stroller has a hand brake so I used that to stop, but mainly I could use the stroller as my balance. I didnt even leave the trailer park and I was tired already. My butt was really burning. That's good news. My buns need some baking.
I went to a Partylite Party Wednesday night. I had no intentions buying anything either. I dont really know anything about Partylite products, just that they're friggin' expensive. I told David before I left that I wasn't planning on buying anything, but he said "Well just in case you see something you like, you should bring the checkbook along or your credit card" So taking his advice I did. The party was really fun. It was held at Virginia's house. There were a LOT of Brazilian people there and half the house was speaking Portuguese. There were a couple of babies there too, needless to say it was pretty entertaining. The party was over and David came to pick me up and in the car I said to him "Well I'm never going to one of those party's ever again!!" and David said "Why's that...didn't you have fun?" Well I sure did have fun..too much fun...I spent $75.00!!! I'm very excited for my product to show up in a couple of weeks. My house is going to smell so very eatable.
I'm going outside now to enjoy this nice weather and go for a walk. Hopefully I'll have more to post in a couple of days.

I'm Back

So a lot has happened since I've last blogged. But most of you who are going to read this already know what is going on in my life at the moment. So I don't feel it nessecary to post everything to bring people up to speed in my life.

Last week David phoned me from work and said that a co-worker had brought a bunny and was going to take it to the SPCA if she didn't find a home for it. Now on the phone David sounded already in love with this little creature and he kept saying "It's ssoo cute and soo tiny." One thing led to another and David was bringing the bunny home over lunch to show me. After lunch was done the bunny ended up staying home with me somehow..I don't know..maybe I said we could keep the thing. I don't know the slightest thing about bunnies, I just know they poop a LOT (and that is still my view on them). I was very ignorant accepting to keep this bunny, but ooh was she cute. I let her hop around my hole house and she would leave her special presents all over. I assumed that she would learn where she was suppose to poop and pee after a while so it didn't matter much to me cleaning up after her. She looked so sweet eating lettuce and cuccumbers, plus it was SO cute seeing the bunny sniff and climb on Akele. Akele would watch her curiously and reach out to grab the bunny. I thought my family was complete for the time being. A baby AND a baby bunny..how cute.

We were told by people at Pet Smart that bunnies are very smart animals and you can train them very easily. I got some very good training tips from Jenna as well. I tried all these things and for some reason the bunny would just be hopping along and the poop would just roll out the back. She wouldn't even stop to see what was going on. I would have thought she would stop and sniff what she just deposited, but NOO she just keeps hopping, oblivious to the fact she just layed SEVERAL poops on MY floor!!! I got very frustrated with the bunny. So I gave up. I told David that we have to get rid of this thing. I know that if i stuck with it, I'm sure I could have trained the bunny, but I didn't want to put the effort into it. Not with a baby anyway. So we drove the bunny to David's boss' place. He has chickens, roosters, ducks and rabbits. So we figured what would another bunny be to him? He does eat all his animals (except the dog). So bunny could possibly be his meal some day..Ah the cycle of life.

That's my short week of having a pet bunny.
