Monday's Project

I thought I would post some photos of my project for the day. I'm packing the office and my closet today. I'm currently at the point where things are worse before they get better. I'll post more photos tonight and HOPEFULLY it will look better.

More of Izzy's New Clothes!!!!

Check out Izzy's new Canadian wardrobe!

CityTV visits the office

CityTV's Bridget Ryan, who is originally an American by the way, stopped by with a camera man to surprise one of our assistants in the office, Agata, who won Edmonton's best administrative professional award.

She was surprised to say the least as everyone in the lower level and some on the second floor knew about it. She was "told" it was a crew coming in to do an interview about School Safety Patrol - for which she replied in her Ukranian accent, "DOWN HERE?"

Things are moving right along now. The weather is turning for the worse though as flurries are forecasted for tomorrow. But it's supposed to warm back up next week. Missing Amanda, but we're less than 3 weeks now!

Talk to you later.

10 Random Thoughts and Things To Do

1. I am so thankful for my friend Jessica. I went over to her super cool Old Market apartment tonight for our favorite...TACO SALAD. She's about the only other person in this world that gets as excited about taco salad as I do. And, after chatting for awhile she pretty much read her mind...ICE CREAM.
2. Missing my hubby like crazy!
3. Feeling good about school...passed my comprehensive exams, well on my way to completing my project and only 5 or so more pages to write on a paper before I am done with the semester.
4. CRAP...now that school is almost over, what am I going to do now? Any ideas?
5. Feeling better about the state in which my house is in (thank you soooooo much Molly). Moving is as horrible as I remember!
6. Can't believe the new wardrobe I bought for my DOG!!!! She will need warm 'clothes' for the winter ahead....right? Pictures to come...
7. Tomorrow is my first day of getting up at 5:30 a.m. to workout. I need to get in shape so I have just as much fun shopping for myself as I did shopping for my dog (she can fit into an XS, I can't!).
8. Mow the lawn...anyone want to do that for me?
9. Does anyone even read this?
10. Buy vinegar tomorrow.

Great Falls Easter

Jason here.

I took a trip down to Great Falls for Easter. It's very nice weather, and it was just mom and I the first couple days since dad was doing a guy trip to Oregon - he gets back tonight.

So mom and I went for a walk on the ol' River Edge trail in Great Falls with Charlie. Jessie had to stay because it was too hot and too long.

This is the same route Lewis and Clark took on their way through and it runs along the river where the big waterfalls, now dammed, are.

We spent a lot of time on these trails when I was a kid. The dams are huge!

There are five of them in and around here, but only two you can get to by walking. We also went to the fish hatchery where they breed trout so you people can catch something every once in a while.

Mom also spotted what we think is a beaver. Although it was very light coloured. Tonight we're watching the final Oiler game and eating steak.

I will drive back to Edmonton tomorrow since i have to work Monday.

Comps are over!

Amanda here...I have pretty much been oblivious to everything other than school for the past two weeks preparing for my comprehensive exams. Well, comps are over and it's good to be back. I am now one step closer to having my Masters! Now it's on to my project that needs to be completed and presented before I leave for Canada.

Things are coming together and time is flying by. This weekend the fam is coming down for Easter and my garage sale on Friday and Saturday. Spread the word about the garage sale - Friday from 8 am to 4 pm and Saturday from 8 am to 11 am.
