Spring Has Definitely Arrived

As much as I love winter and all the snow that comes with it I also love springtime. I love when each day gets a little warmer, the birds are out singing at the top of their lungs in the morning and all the flowers start to bloom and the trees and grass turn green. The weather this year has been a little unpredictable though. Just when you think it is warming up it snows the next day. However this time I am positive spring is here for good. It has been raining off and on since Saturday and yesterday I heard thunder. Thunder has to mean it is here to stay right? RIGHT!?

Cuteness!!

I did not have the blinds open very far the other day but right on this little ottoman there was just enough shining right onto it. We bought this ottoman for Belle so she could sit and look out the window. Well on this day she curled up in a little ball on it and laid there for hours in the sun. Too cute!

TGIF!!

I thought this week would never end. Yet here I am on Friday and SO happy about it.

I am excited for American Idol tonight. Chris and I go to a friends on Fridays and have dinner and watch that weeks episodes. So I am looking forward to that. I think tomorrow we are going to hit up the YMCA and join. We both (more me) need to start going to the gym on a regular basis and be more committed to losing weight and being healthier. They have a family membership there that is not even 60 bucks a month. Not a bad deal for both of us to be able to go to the gym. Hopefully the weather is nice and the rain stays away on Saturday and Sunday so we can take Belle and Madison for a hike. Madison is our friends dog and we are taking care of her this weekend.

Chris and I are desperate to find a new church. Somewhere that we will feel connected to and at home. I am hoping to try out a new church this Sunday so wish us luck.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Yep, I'm Five

I have a habit of spilling things. Mostly on myself but sometimes I tend to spill my drinks. Last night I went out to dinner to Uno's with some friends and almost as soon as I sat down I spilled my whole glass of diet coke all over the floor. When the waiter brought me a new drink I was thrilled to have him bring me one of those kid cups with a lid. And I am not being sarcastic, I was actually really excited about it. Don't be jealous!

So I'm Thinkin....

Is it August 22nd yet?

A Love Letter From Evey

Dear Cadbury Mini Eggs,

I really love you. I love you more than I know how to put into words. I love you so much in fact I could eat a giant bag of you until I went into a sugar coma. And even then I would still want more. I am convinced now more than ever that you are an evil evil thing sent straight from the fiery depths of Hades. I thank God everyday that your tasty and delectable goodness is only available to me this time of year. Why oh why do you have to be so delicious? Why could you not just be sort of good? Why do you have to make my mouth water at the thought of you? Mini Eggs, I love you so much it hurts sometimes in my belly. I might just need to find a way to say goodbye. To let you roam free to the belly's of others. There are many other belly's out there for you to fill. But know this Mini Eggs, if indeed I do say goodbye, wherever you are I will always love you.

Yours forever,

Evey

What Season Is It?

The weather is just teasing me now. Last week we had beautiful weather then all of a sudden it snowed and was cold again. This weekend it was 60 degrees and beautiful outside then SNOW! I mean really? As most of you know I am a crazy person and I love winter. But lately I have definitely been ready for spring to arrive. I get excited when it warms up but then my dreams are crushed when it starts snowing again. I woke up this morning to rain so I figured that HAS to be a good sign right? Better remember my umbrella and my wellies today.

I am pretty sure this is what my dog thinks EVERY day!
I also think this is what Belle was thinking this past Christmas...
And I have the pictures to prove it...
My new favorite website....http://ihasahotdog.com/ Click and enjoy!!

As I was walking down the street today I suddenly realized that it is going to be spring soon. Which is totally crazy if you ask me. It seems like just the other day I was waiting and hoping it would snow on Christmas. And now here we are in late February.

Chris and I have some trips planned for this year that we are hoping to get organized soon. We will be taking a trip to Edmonton at some point in the near future. I have not seen my family for SO long and am excited to go home for a week or two. We would like to take another trip down to Myrtle Beach. We really loved it there and can't wait to go back. That would be sometime in the summer. We also would like to make a trip out to Seattle and spend some time with family and friends there. Then in November for Thanksgiving (American Thanksgiving) we will be heading to Southern California for a week. Chris's sister and husband live in Irvine (south of L.A) so we will be staying with them. Chris's bro and family and his parents will also be there but staying at a Timeshare near Disneyland. I am so excited to go to Disneyland again. This time though we are definitely planning on going down to San Diego to Sea World and stuff. YAY!

Not much else going on around here. Same old boring stuff. Working, watching hockey, drinking wine. We know how to live it up ;)

Randomness

We have recently discovered that Belle likes to graze on snow the way a cow would do so on grass. It is actually really funny and we found ourselves wondering last night if dogs can get brain freeze?

With the economy in the crapper and Starbucks continuing to lay people off it has us a little concerned with Chris's future with the company. We have spent 4 years in Boston to build towards something and now feel that might not happen. That is really frustrating.

Did anyone watch Chuck in 3D the other night? It wasn't all that great. The episode itself was great as usual but the 3D aspect of it was sorta lame. Maybe it was just the glasses we had, who knows.

I am addicted to facebook. There I said it. Now I can sleep at night knowing I have been honest about it!

Oh on facebook I did a list of 25 random things about me. So here it is for those of you who aren't on facebook.

1. I love brussel sprouts. Weird I know, but I really do. At my 16th birthday party my friend Lori and I had brussel sprouts with cheese sauce, my mum thought we were crazy.

2. I have a phobia of people hiding behind shower curtains. Every time I go to the bathroom at home or at other peoples houses I ALWAYS check behind the curtain just in case.

3. I play the cornet (or trumpet) and have since I was 7 years old. Yes I am a band geek and I totally love it. I don't play as much as I used to and I really miss it. It is one of the few things I am truly passionate about.

4. Most people think I am Canadian but I was really born in Scotland. We moved to Canada when I was three. I never became a Canadian citizen although I am def a Canadian at heart.

5. I have lived in Boston, MA for over 4 years. I don't like it here at all.

6. I love hockey and the Edmonton Oilers so much that I sometimes plan my weekend around games. Sad I know.

7. I have been fortunate to have more than one best friend in my life. Lori, Tania, Tammy, Evette and Georgette are all really important to me. They all hold really special places in my heart and I would be lost without them.

8. I am terrified of flying. I cry every time and don't sleep for almost the whole week before because all I can do is think of all the things I am convinced will go wrong.

9. I used to brag about the fact I had never broken a bone. Then came Winter Weekend at Pine Lake when Ange and I went tubing and made it a few feet, hit a patch of grass, went flying and she landed on my wrist which ended up breaking in three places. It was AWESOME! Remember Ange?

10. A year ago I fell out of a bus and severely sprained my ankle. It was really embarrassing since the bus was full of high school students. Stop laughing, it sucked!

11. I use to hate wine. Then I met Chris's grandma and she pretty much got me drunk on wine the first night I met her and there was no turning back.

12. I love the feeling of being comfortable in silence with a friend. I think it speaks volumes about your connection.

13. I love to write and I want to write a book someday.

14. Even though we aren't ready to have kids, Chris and I have had our kids names picked out for years.

15. I have grown to love the United States. It has its flaws but it has become my home and I will be proud to raise little Americans.

16. I am a dog walker

17. I am planning on going back to school to become a Veterinary Technician. For those of you who don't know what that is it is basically a registered nurse for animals.

18. I have to have water by the bed at night. Even if I don't drink it I need to know it's there just in case.

19. I really really really love chips and salsa from Chili's and love to share them with my person Georgette.

20. I am currently on a journey to try and become healthy again and lose 93 more pounds. If I reach my goal my total weight loss from my highest weight will be 118 pounds.

21. Chris and I both want kids one day but for now love the life we have just the two of us and of course our dog Belle.

22. I want to live in Colorado. It reminds me a lot of home.

23. Going for coffee is one of my favorite things to do.

24. I love getting mail from friends, it makes me smile.

25. I love road trips. I could get in a car and just drive with no destination.

Year in Review

Like a lot of people I had planned on posting about 2008 shortly before we entered 2009. Clearly that did not happen. Mostly because I am a sucky blogger and clearly forget about this thing for weeks at a time. But as they say (whoever THEY are) it is better late than never. So here we go...

2008 began with us in Seattle winding down an 18 day Christmas vacation. We rang in the new year with 2 of our closest friends Shawn and Celeste. A few days later I celebrated my 30th birthday. It was nothing exciting. The world didn't end. I realized that as much as people hype up turning 30 it was really just a regular old birthday.

This year my dad was diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer. Cancer has already taken so much from me and my family so I am happy to report that my dad is winning his battle.

In July Chris and I got to welcome not one but TWO new nephews. My brother and his wife welcomed Caelan Ethan Floyd on July 5th and Chris's brother and wife welcomed Avery Richard McClees also on July 5th. We have yet to meet either of them but can't wait till we finally get to hold and love on them.

In August Chris and I had a weeks holiday down in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was amazing. We golfed, sat on the beach, ate great food and most of all relaxed. It was a much needed trip for both of us.

In September we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary with an amazing dinner at The Melting Pot. It was so much fun and I highly recommend it. It is a little on the pricey side but totally worth it. The chocolate fondue for dessert was to die for.

In October I escaped to Philadelphia for the weekend with my girlfriend Georgette. We stayed with her sister and had a great time. We even got stuck in NJ for 24 hours after her car started acting up on the way home. It was a great time for both of us to recharge and have a couple days to just relax and not worry about the real world back home in Boston. This year has brought a lot of ups and downs, healing and forgiveness in our friendship and I am thankful to have her in my life.

We were shocked to find Chris's parents literally outside our house on Halloween. It was a wonderful surprise and we enjoyed a great weekend with them. Chris's sister and husband also showed up on our doorstep November 2nd which was Chris's birthday. I knew they were coming but he did not. It was great to have them all here to celebrate his birthday. We had a fabulous time with all 4 of them and thoroughly enjoyed showing them around Boston.

Christmas was quiet this year. Just me Chris and Belle. I would be lying if I said I wasn't homesick for both Edmonton and Seattle but at the same time it was nice to just be here with each other.

So there you have it. Those are the highlights. 2008 was not the greatest year for me on a personal level. I have struggled with a lot of things, my weight being one of the biggest issues. I am tired of being overweight and tired of not feeling like myself. I am tired of feeling like I am hiding behind all this extra weight and letting it hold me back from things I want to be doing. I have been homesick a lot this past year, probably more than the previous 3 years we have been in Boston. I miss both of our families and my friends back home in Seattle and Edmonton. I just have to keep telling myself that there is a reason we are here.

I am determined to make 2009 a year worth remembering. I want to look back on 2009 and be proud of what I accomplished and be happy with where I am at in my life. Which brings me to my resolutions for this year.

-First and foremost I want to lose weight and finally reach my goal and be back to my healthy weight. I want to feel confident again and find the happy person I used to be which I know is hiding under all this extra weight.

-I want to go back to school and have at least started before this year is up. That is all I am going to say about that because I don't want to say something is going to happen for sure and then it doesn't for whatever reason.

-I want to be a better friend. To be more supportive, to listen better, to say I love you more often. I have learned a lot about friendship this past year and what it really means to me on a personal level.

-Learn to play the guitar. This is something I have always wanted to do and have just never got around to it. THIS will be the year.

Those are the three main ones. The ones that are the most important to me. You don't want to hear about all the trivial stuff like how I want to walk my dog more, read more, drink less caffeine etc...

What are some of your resolutions?

The Interview

Questions by Courtney from Five Second Dance Party

(1) Who is your all-time Seahawk player and what does/did make him so great?

#84 Bobby Engram. Bobby is a wide receiver who has been in the NFL for 13 seasons, 8 of those with Seattle. He is one of those guys you don't hear a lot about around the league. He quietly does his job and is really good at it. Last year when we had injuries he stepped up and had the best year of his career with 1147 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. He is not the guy you throw the ball to every time but he is the guy who comes up with the big play and catch when you need him the most. The stars an sports teams have never been my favorite. For me it has always been about the heart and soul guys, the ones who are gritty and gut it out the whole game. Now if only the Seahawks resign him this off season I will be a happy girl.
(2) If you could pick one day in your life since your mom passed away and have her there to enjoy it with you - which day would it be?
This is a tough one. There have been more than a few that I would have given anything to have had her with me on. So I will give you a two part answer, one day that has already occurred and one that is yet to happen. I think the one that stands out the most for me is the day Chris and I got engaged. She was the first person I thought of and in that moment the only person I wanted so badly to share it with. The other one will be when I have my first baby. It will be really hard for me to go through that experience without her and to not have her there with me to share it. Just thinking about it makes me cry. I know you can fully understand that one having recently experienced it yourself.

(3) If you're in a hurry and need to grab a bite to eat real quick, what are you most likely to eat?

If I am at home and running out the door it is likely to be something I can take with me like a 100 calorie pack or an apple. If I am already out somewhere it would most likely be a burrito from my favorite burrito joint here in Boston. Anna's Taqueria. I am hungry now just thinking about it, thanks Courtney!

(4) How do you think you would react if the plane you were flying on was hijacked? Would you freeze or act? Since I am completely terrified of airplanes I imagine I would be in a corner with my knees tucked up under my chin, rocking back and forth and sobbing like a baby. Before I fly on a plane I don't sleep for weeks because my mind is running wild with thoughts of all that could go wrong. What if an engine goes out? What if we lose cabin pressure? What if the pilot passes out? What if the landing gears or brakes fail? What if we get hit by lightning? Then as I am waiting to board my plane I will size up all of the other passengers and try and figure out which one is most likely to hijack the plane. All these thoughts go through my head that by the time I reach my seat on the plane I am in almost full blown panic mode. So while I would love to say I would act I am afraid I would be so paralyzed with fear that I would not be able to do anything.

(5) What would be the most difficult to live without: your computer or your TV? Why?

Computer by far. While I love my TV most of what I watch on there is available online anyways. At least with my computer I would still have a connection to all my friends and family and be able to watch all my TV shows. I would def miss those days of laying on the couch being lazy and flipping through the channels but I would be so much more lost without my computer.

Want to play along?

1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”

2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.

3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.

4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.

5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

My Birthday Toast

I was not present but I am sure happy they did it anyways. Jan 3 was my birthday and also the day Chris's moms side of the family had their annual Christmas gathering. We obviously could not be there since we live ALL the way in Boston, but they toasted me anyways and drank champagne in my honor. Glad I gave them a reason to toast and drink some yummy champagne. How could you not love all those crazy faces? Thanks to all of you for making my day and putting a huge smile on my face.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Apparently we thought it would be fun this year to put tinsel on Belle and as well as antlers and Santa hats. Somehow I don't think she shared the same enthusiasm as we did for any of those things. Regardless she is really cute so I am sharing the photos with you anyways as much as I am sure she would protest.We finally got snow about a week before Christmas. I was very very excited. However that excitement faded fast when it warmed up in the days leading up to Christmas and most of it was melted by Christmas morning and what was left was all brown and dirty. BOOOO!!Chris and I stayed home in Boston for Christmas this year. It was nice just the two of us but at the same time I was homesick for both Edmonton and Seattle. It is hard sometimes living so far away. We doggie sat for my girlfriend Georgette so we had her dog Madison for an entire week. Aside from her fur that she leaves all over my house we really love Madison a lot. Christmas day we opened presents, had a great breakfast, watched movies, played games, cooked a turkey with all the trimmings. It was relaxing and perhaps just what I needed. We were going to go to a movie that night but it was PACKED and our showing was sold out. The picture above is my amazing drawing of Chris's main gift from me, new roller hockey skates. Dicks sporting goods screwed up and so they were not here Christmas morning so I drew that picture for him. Don't be jealous of my amazing art work. New Years eve was very uneventful. That was our dinner, a really yummy BBQ chicken pizza from our new fav pizza place. We watched tv, drank champagne and watched the Oilers and Avs both lose. HOORAY!
That's right folks, 8.99!! That's how we roll.

I have become one of those bloggers that I hate. You know the kind, the ones who blog like once a month with a quick little update of what is going on and that's it. LAME! I used to have so much to say, I am not sure what has happened.

Anyways...

I am still trying to figure out how Christmas has come and gone already. It will be 2009 in like 3 days and my 31st birthday is less than a week away. How did that happen? Where did the last 30 years go?

I suppose I do have a lot to say about a lot of random stuff, especially at this time of year. So I guess keep checking back in the coming days for ramblings about stuff you could probably care less about ;)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

Happy Birthday Mum!

My mum would have been 62 today! It is crazy to think how quickly and yet how slow at the same time it seems the last 12 years have passed. She passed away just 3 1/2 weeks before her 50th birthday.

I miss her! Her birthday it seems is the day I miss and think of her the most. It is a constant reminder every year that she is not here to celebrate with. Each year her birthday is a time for me to reflect on my own life the past 12 years. All the ups and downs and all the mistakes and all the joys I have experienced. I wonder what she would think, what she would say. What she would think of where I have been and the person I am today. It is hard sometimes, I think no matter how old you are you always need your mum. I miss that connection. I miss the everyday stuff. A phone call, a cup of coffee, a hug, the little inside jokes.

I wish she could have met Chris. I know she would have loved him and been so happy I found someone who loves me as much as he does. I wish she could have lived long enough to be a grandma. My brother has 3 healthy happy boys (10, 6, 6 months) that I know she would have loved them and spoiled them rotten. I just know they would have adored her. When Chris and I eventually have our own kids I am determined to make sure they grow up knowing who she was and how blessed we all were to have her in our lives even if it was for a shorter time than any of us would have liked.

Sometimes I struggle with understanding life. Why things happen the way they do and the reasoning behind it all. But at the end of the day some things just aren't for us to understand. As hard as it is sometimes to accept, God has a greater plan for all of us. If anyone taught me about faith and trusting God no matter what, it was her. She was a living example of what true faith really is. She loved and served her God with a passionate and content heart right up until the day she died. I honestly struggle with it sometimes but I always have her voice in the back of mind reminding me of what is important.

At her funeral we played a song called See You in Heaven by a christian rock band called Guardian.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwAQUHeA9vU

( I realize the video quality is bad and the bands hair is AWESOME, but you get the idea)

It's hard to say goodbye, my friend

But this waiting can last forever

Sooner or later the sun must set

Ending this time together

I wish that I had one more chance

To spend another day with you

And even though I know I can't

I'll see you in Heaven

I'll see you in Heaven

CHORUS:

The only thing that hurts more than losing you

Are all of the years, living without you

I wanna run back to you

And show you the life I've lived without you

Cause living without you is the only thing that hurts more than you

I see a picture of a little child

Standing alone, wondering where you are

I can't believe how this child has grown

Living this life, Sometimes so alone

Wishing I had one more chance

To have you hold me once again

Now even though I know you can't

You'll hold me in Heaven

You'll hold me in Heaven

CHORUS:

The only thing that hurts more than losing you
Are all of the years, living without you
I wanna run back to you
And show you the life I've lived without you
Cause living without you is the only thing that hurts more than you

I've let so many years of life go by

Thinking it's all worked out

Now I realize I do know how

To say that it's over

And let you go for now

Still I wish that I had one more chance

To say I love you one more time

And even though I know I can't

I'll say it in Heaven

I'll say it in Heaven

We all miss her a lot. But thank God we have that promise of being together again one day. I know she is in a much better place but it doesn't make missing her any easier.

Happy birthday Mum! I miss you everyday. We all love you more than we could ever put into words. You truly were a blessing to everyone who was honored to have known you. Thank you for sharing 19 amazing years with me!!

Photo Fun

Photo fun! I saw this on my friend Becca's blog Joyfully Hand-Picked.

Here's the rules:

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer

2) Select the 4th picture in the folder

3) Explain the picture

4) Tag 4 people to do the sameNO CHEATING! (cropping, editing, etc!)

This picture was taken on August 6, 2007. We were headed to Baltimore, Maryland and Washington D.C for a week to take in some baseball games and see all the sites in D.C. I took this pic at some point on our drive down there and clearly Chris was REALLY happy about it.

I tag...
