Megan's Dry Grad Party!

My baby sister graduated! She had her fake graduation ceremony at the beginning of June. Her best friend and her family threw a Dry Grad for all the kids. I helped out quite a bit, and it was an epic party! It was rewarding seeing all the kids have fun!

 Root Beer Keg! It was sooo tasty!

 They had a prize wall. I blew up all those balloons. I pretty much couldn't breathe after.

 This was the backdrop of the stage and photobooth. I helped Ruth make it. It was sooo easy! Maybe I can do a tutorial!

 Amanda, Ruth and I. They are the best party planners ever!

   Randy and I. I love him!

It was such a blast, and I'm glad we could do this for the kids. We had a concert, blow up boxing ring, video games, food and lots of fun.

Where has the time gone?

I really haven't blogged in a long time. I'm not sure why I wasn't, but now I have more time! My life has been absolutely insane lately. Here's the update to where our life is now:

1. I STARTED A BUSINESS.

Yes, a legit business. A cleaning business. It's been a rollercoaster and a half, but I'm loving it. I love being my own boss. I work crazy long hours, but it's so worth it.

2. I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT LIKE CRAZY.

I decided I wanted to do a 5K. Well, I was training like a nut, but then I went on vacation and I haven't gotten back into the groove. I've been eating really healthy though, so I've been able to keep my weight down. At my heaviest I was 184 lbs, now I'm at 172 lbs. It's been a slow process with lots of dedication and giving up my favourite food, but I'm so ready to be bikini worthy in the summer.

3. RANDY STILL HAS THE SAME JOB.

I thought I would add in an update about Randy, but he's kinda exactly the same. Oh wait, he plays dodgeball with a league, and he just signed up for slow pitch. I'm so excited to go watch and (hopefully) play when they need an extra player.

4. ANNALEEN TURNED 8.

I threw a luau for her and it was great! She got so spoiled by all our family and friends. It was such a fun party. I think I'll throw in a full post just on her party.

5. WE WENT TO UTAH

My big brother graduated as an honoured student with the Exercise Science program at BYU. He's heading off to medical school in the fall in Virginia. We're so proud of him. He's a rockstar. We also got to visit with all my nieces and nephew, my grandparents, and we had the chance to go see my grandma's headstone which I hadn't seen yet.

I could catch you up with everything else, but I'll take it step by step. Right now I'm going to go play with Annaleen. We're teaching her how to play chess!

Edmonton Trip

Wow, I am really behind in blogging, but I always am.

In October I went to Edmonton with my best friend Desiree and her little guy Maclin. A stop at the West Edmonton Mall was a must. It was mainly the reason we went! We mainly just walked around, and we watched the sea lion show. It was a blast. Maclin had so much fun. It's crazy that he's already 9 months old. STOP GROWING! He just happens to make me way more baby crazy!

I gave up on Thankful posts.

I really did try, but I went to Vancouver for a week and get way too far behind. It doesn't mean that I'm not thankful, I'm just lazy. I did see this post today and I wanted to try it too!

I'm weird because:

I don't like veggies..except for potatoes.
I'm a crazy cat lady. legit.
I'm 21 with a 7 (almost 8) year old.

I'm a bad friend because:

I live in a different country than all my friends.
If I don't feel like talking to you, I won't.

I'm a good friend because:

I will drop anything to help you.
I love to buy presents.
I'm a good listener.

I'm sad because:

I don't have too many friends up here in Canada land.
I don't make nearly enough money.
I'm not a very good cook.

I'm happy because:

I have a very loving husband, who loves me no matter what I look like.
I have a great support system.
I have a job I love.

I'm excited for:

Christmas. Christmas. Christmas.

Day 10. Baby!

Today I'm thankful for my new little niece Chloe. Tom and Crystal have been struggling for over 10 years to have a baby, this little miracle baby was born last week, and I couldn't be happier for them. She really is the little miracle baby, and I can't wait to see her on Friday. I get to go to Vancouver for the first time with Randy and his sister Tara this weekend. I really can't wait!

Thirty Days of Thankful: Day 2-8

I admit I'm horrible at blogging. I had something come up and I've been off the computer for a while. Here's my list!

Day 2: I'm thankful for my parents. They're always there for me and pick me up when I fall down.
Day 3: I'm thankful for my cats. They're hilarious, and they are so precious (yes, I said that word) to me. I love them so much!
Day 4: I'm thankful for my brothers and sisters. That includes my sisters in law! They're all hilarious in their own ways, and I love them all so much!
Day 5: I'm thankful for my bed. It's nice to have somewhere comfy to sleep!
Day 6: I'm thankful for Desiree. She's my best friend, and my shoulder to cry on. She has a pretty cute baby too, and I love my godson soooo much!
Day 7: I'm thankful for my car. It gets me from a to b, and it's a very dependable car!
Day 8: I'm thankful for Randy's and my job. Without them we'd be on the street! :(

Thirty Days of Thankful: Day One

I just stumbled upon the idea to do "Thirty Things I'm Thankful For" for November. I've already had Canadian Thanksgiving, but I think I'm still okay to do this one. Everyday I'm going to post something I'm thankful for.

So today I'm thankful for my husband! It's kinda obvious why I'm thankful for him, so I'm just going to post a picture of him :) Love you babe!
