{This&That}

My mom comes in 18 days!!!! I'm seriously so excited. I can't wait to see her, or for her to see H. She has changed so much in the past 7 months. I only wish my mom and stepdad were closer so they could see her, and us, more often. 

It's almost summer, enough said.

My Birthday is on a Saturday this year... the big 2-5. I'm ancient. I don't exactly know how I feel about turning 25. I had a huuuuge issue with turning 20 but I'm feeling pretty good right now. In the 5 years since I turned 20 I've accomplished quite a lot. I moved away from home, partied my face off, started dating C, moved to The Okanagan, moved to Vancouver, got engaged, got married, went to school (AND graduated with a diploma as a Medical Lab Assistant), got pregnant, moved back home to PR, had a baby, kept a baby alive (so far ;) ha!), and started a new job at RBC (which isn't exactly doing what I went to school to do, but it's work - and it's pretty decent!). I like to think that even though we don't own a house yet, and I've got student loan debt coming out of my ears, we're not too bad off. There are people who are 25 and have nothing to show for it - I think I'm doing pretty good. Come to think of it, I could live in a box as long as I had my husby and babygirl. I have high hopes for 25.

There is a plan in the works (hopefully!) to head out to see a good friend in Lethbridge next month. I hope it works out because I'm awfully excited and I would hate to be let down! Fingers crossed for time off. 

My littlest of sisters graduates in June. Again, I'm ancient. Grad gift ideas, anyone? It's gotta be something special - she's one of the good ones. 

I don't exactly love this new blog format. I know it'll grow on me and before I know it it'll be just like the old (and then they'll change it ((like FB)) to throw me off again)... I feel like the other set up was easier to find your way around. On a different blog note - I updated my design - I'm not so sure I love it so I may change it again. Ha! 

And 1 super random fact before I leave you for the day - I have 6 duvet covers and I just bought another one... who the F needs 7 duvet covers? I just get so bored of them so quickly!

{Some Things Will Never Change}

I got my first horse when I was 11.. she was pure black, she had a bad attitude and she was a wee bit crazy. I loved her. We sent her to her retirement home (a nice farm where she was free to roam and eat all she liked) quite a few years ago and she recently passed away.

Though I will probably never own my own horse again, I am lucky enough to have a mom and sister who still have theirs. I still love them and I'm grateful that I can visit with them whenever I'd like. Recently H has shown a very strong liking to "Orses". She's basically obsessed. 

We went to my moms this weekend and had a great time hanging out in the hard. H even got to sit on Casey for her very first time. She was in heaven. 

Wether I have horses or not, I'll always love them.. and it looks like H will, too.

{Friday Night Leftovers}


  • My mom is coming to visit April 4th... I'm counting down the days like a 12 year old going to Disneyland. I miss her so much. I always miss her as I don't get to see her very often, but since I've had H, I find myself missing her more than usual. She hasn't seen H since September (aside from Skype, of course)!!! 
  • I LOVE Kinder Mini Eggs - seriously the best chocolate egg you will ever eat. Buy a bag (Walmart) I dare you. 
  • Dear Tax Return, thank you for paying off my new tires and my credit card, buying me new pants, and also taking a huge chunk of my LOC. Do come again next year. Love D. 
  • We have been washing H's clothes with our laundry detergent for a few months now and her cheeks an arms have been super dry. I bought baby detergent again to see if that's what is making the difference. As I poured it into the washer my ovaries started to spit out eggs, pretty sure. It was like a flashback of a newborn. Oh how I love that smell. 
  • Speaking of laundry - I've done about 30 loads today.
  • 2nd week of work, over. 4 more weeks of fulltime training and then perhaps I can have more than 20 minutes a day with my babygirl. I miss her :(
Head over here and check out some more!
