Fall Fun

Well here in Calgary it has been so warm these past couple weeks it has felt more like summer then fall, but we decided to kick off the season by heading out to the Calgary Corn Maze with some friends.
I am sorry to admit we did not defeat the corn maze, but we had a blast just hanging out with fun friends....Mason maybe next year we will actually make it through the corn maze and you can claim defeat!






I can't wait for more fun Fall activities to come...it is such a fun time of year!

CRASH

Well it happened I was involved in my first ever car crash! IT WAS NOT MY FAULT which is a huge relief but it was a little scary. Nobody was hurt and I feel just fine but my car is smashed in and Hank is really kicking himself for paying $3000dollars for my new bumper 6 months ago! I was going straight from a two way stop and the other lady was turning left and apparently the sun was in her eyes and she didn't see me. We weren't going very fast but she was driving a huge SUV and unfortunately my little Jetta got smooshed! Today I have had to deal with all the insurance and police reports and calling back and forth and it is not fun. I guess I am glad that nobody was hurt and that me and the baby are fine!

POOR LITTLE JETTA!!!! (actually I am kind of wishing it was totalled, then maybe I could have gotten a new car)

I have a Yard

I have a yard with bushes and trees and grass, I thought this day would never come...but after a few threatening e-mails it happened. Now it actually looks like I live in a house not a dirt pit! YEAH! Backyard still to come but at least it looks pleasant from the street.

Suz was here but now she's gone!

Here is my one picture proof that my cute mom was here to visit me. I am horrible at taking pictures lately but I did get one of my mom in Banff. My favorite part is her E shirt. Whenever she comes and needs a shirt for when we go hiking or biking she borrows this shirt and says I wear my E shirt for my E!

We had a blast shopping, hiking, biking and just hanging out.

I am not going to lie I woke up depressed and lonely today knowing she was gone.

Thanks for coming mom I love you!

Summer and the Living's Easy

Well it is not really summer but it finally feels like it here! On Saturday our NEW WONDERFUL FRIENDS, Simone and Mason Dahl invited us out to their community lake to spend a day on the beach. We had a wonderful time soaking in the sun for my much needed pasty white body and chasing their beautiful daughter Bella around. We followed it up with a wonderful bbq where the Baldersons were able to join us. All together it was just the Saturday I have been needing this summer but haven't had.

Thanks guys we had a blast!

Does it get any cuter? I don't think so!

Things I am loving this week!

Starting my Saturday by running around the Resavoir on a Sunny Day!

Blueberries every day!

My kitchen table

This itty bitty swimsuit my friend gave me for baby girl!

My new chairs I found for my empty living room!

and lastly bbq's with good friends, maybe I will actually take pictures today!

Everyone is saying goodbye to summer, however up here in Calgary I feel like it just arrived so I am saying hello and loving every second of it!

Best Friends

There is nothing like best friends, and when I say that I mean best girlfriends! Someone to tell everything to, someone to tell you, you are great even when you are not, and someone you can go anywhere with or do anything and you still have a good time. I have so many wonderful best friends and sisters back home that I have cultivated lasting relationships that I cherish so much. Being up here away from all of them is probably one of the hardest things about living far away. I don't have my best girlfriends!
Sorry this is kind of a pity post but I have been feeling a little down about this lately and wanted to express how much those I miss mean to me. We have lived up here in Calgary for a year now and I don't really have a best friend. I am sure this could be my fault, the fact that I work everyday, or that I am not trying hard enough, but it is getting hard. I feel like I just want to pick someone and tell them they have to be my best friend up here because I need one. I have made some really great friends but it seems everytime I do they move away! Bummer city.
Hank keeps telling me that friendships like that take time and I agree they do, but I also have to say that some friendships just click and I am hoping to find that!
Anyhoo I guess I just wanted to say how much I think good girlfriends are a blesssing in life and I am grateful for each and everyone that I have even if they live far away they are still there for me.

Oh and P.S. if you live in Calgary and want to be my best friend I am in! ha ha

P.P.S. sorry for the lack of pictures lately in my posts. It could be that I am too lazy to take pictures or it could be the fact that I am 20 weeks prego (half-way yeah) and still in the awkward stage and don't feel much like taking pics of myself. Take your pick!
