is it a sign???
i was just goofing off on ebay last night while i was on the phone with Will...shocking, that i was on the phone with him, i know, but back to my last thought...goofing off, blah blah blah, and i decided to look for the stroller that i want when we have a baby...and that is the Jeep Cherokee stroller...i have wanted one for a couple of years now...it is so great...lots of room, fun toys for the baby, cup holders...oops...off track again...
so, i find one that i want...gorgeous...only a couple of hours away from our house in CA, so we could go pick it up if we bought it...and i showed will...and i can't remember what he thoughtof it, but i loved it!!!
anyways...the only think i told him, though, was that it was not the original colour that i wanted...i wanted the green one, but the colour didn't really matter, it's just the concept...
well, i walk into the house this afternoon, here in canada, and sitting right by the door is the Jepp Cherokee stoller in...can you guess which colour??? GREEN!!! right in the living room...first thing i saw when i walked in...
i mean...what is this??? can i be??? am i pregnant and not know it??? lol...i know that last one is not true...
kari-lynn's friend is having twins right away and can't use it anymore, so asked if she wanted it...richard said yes, so they got it!!! she said she would sell it to me if i would like...lol
would i like???? heck no, i would LOVE!!!
i covet that stroller...
i should be wary of that, though...one of the ten commandments is "Thou shalt not covet..."
dang commandments...hee hee

WOW!!!
so, it's been awhile since i've blogged, huh??? not as long as it took heather, though, i might add...lol
so i have this funny song in my head..."Under Pressure" by David Bowie...now in an of itself, the song is not funny, per say, it's just that all i can think about as i hum this song in my head is David Bowie as the Goblin King in Labyrinth...and i guess that is what makes it so gosh-darn funny...with his skinny little self, with the mullet of all mullets...dancing around in leotards, i do believe, but i could be remembering that part wrong...i hope i am...lol...i'll just take heather's advice..."Don't think about David Bowie in leotards. Don't think about David Bowie in leotards"...ARGHHH!!! all i can think about is David Bowie in leotards...
what a freakin' funny movie...
DANG!!! i just realized i never watched A Night at the Roxbury last night...someone had it playing on the tv in the back of the store yesterday and it made me want to watch it, and then i never did...i actually ended up going out looking for a birthday present for Solomon whose birthday is in a matter of days...hey, it's better late than never...right, Michelle???
i promise to get on that...i was actually thinking about it today, to be honest...
by the way...i saw the CUTEST baby item today, that i so would have gotten you, if i knew if you were having a boy or girl...so, if you would like to find that out for my information, i would greatly appreciate it...cause it's really hard to buy stuff for a sex-less baby...ha ha ha...i am so funny...
well, anyways...kari-lynn and aubryn are home now, dinner may be cold on the stove...
oh, but i may as well add, that if i didn't think it would come back to haunt me, i woulda lied to ups today...if they don't find the tiara that mysteriously went missing from my package, i am plum out of luck...unless the package was a gift...and i would a said it was, except that on the original invoice it clearly states 'personal item'...dang...i want them to compensate me...cause, let's think about this...they lost something that was in a zipped bag, in a sealed box, and somehow, this is not their fault and they are not responsible...now that is customer service!!!
but it is as Nikki said, "Just think, you have made some gay guy very happy at UPS as he is dancing around with your tiara on his head, singing, 'I'm a princess'"
well, if that doesn't make it ok, then i don't know what would...lol
oh, yeah...and i held a funeral for 2 of my credit cards today...i cut them up...2 of them!!! i feel so liberated...lol
i decided to put them all on 1 card with lower interest, in hopes that i can pay them off sooner...here's to hoping that works...I hope it works!!! I hope it works!!! DANG IT!!! IT BETTER WORK!!!

YAH!!!
my dress is here...in my posession!!! and that's the happy news...
the not so happy news is that somehow...still trying to figure out how...ups lost the tiara that was packed in with it...you ask me, someone at ups stole it...
but YAH!!! i have my dress...
i am so excited...
life is going pretty alright up here, overall...
solomon's birthday is in a week(ish), so i am just about to get him a present...
i sold some stuff on ebay and have had to threaten negative feedback on people cause they have yet to pay, snow is starting to melt cause it was a very sunny day today, was not feeling so hot today, so the ladies at work have decided i must be prego (meanwhile, i sit there insisting it's not possible), and spencer (my boss) pulled 2 prank calls on me today...i knew it was him on the second, though)...i wasn't so nice to him *ahem*, i mean, 'the customer' ;) ;) nudge nudge, on the first one...lol
so, i guess that is about all that is going on right now...i got a really nice clock for our house down i CA...i saw it and thought it was nice, wondered if will would like it, then he came up and saw it on his own and told me he liked it, so i bought it :)

HOLY SNOW!!!
so, the weather forecast called for 10 cm...now i do know the difference between 10 cm and 10 in...and that looks like 10 in...you know why??? because it IS 10 in...that would be 25 cm...and they are calling for another 10 cm tonight...so, does that mean another 25 cm???
this is some nice guys helping push a lady so she could cross the intersection...just to, of course, get stuck when she gets to the other side...this could be a good joke...
why did 3 guys push a ladies car across the street??? so she could get stuck on the other side and have another guy help her...
HA HA HA...knee slapper :)
fyi, kari-lynn and i did go to help too, but just as we started to go across the street, she got out...compliments of the guy who pushed her...
but in all seriousness, it was great to see so many people out there helping others get unstuck...we even had help getting unstucka few times...a few other times i had to do it myself...
and this is someone who decided they just didn't want to take ALL the snow off their roof...i guess they figured after taking off half, they had had enough...
have a happy saturday...and i will be staying in the house now til spring...

planning, planning, and more planning...
will and i have decided to do a small vow renewal type thing when i go back down to the usa...
the plan is that it will be just him, me. a bishop, a photographer and maybe his sister and her bf...
so, yeah, small...
this way i can wear my original dress, and we can renew our vows to each other...
the time apart has been really hard and we thought this would be a really nice way to end it...
i have been looking at photographers, though...yeah, we can't afford one...they are WAY too pricey...the cheapest we found was $650...and that would only give us 48 pics...which, really, isn't more than we would need, but it seems a lot to pay..but, who knows...
if we decide we just can't affford a photograper, will said he would do the pics...he studied photography in school, and has a fancy slr camera (just have to fix the lens)...if he just lines up the shot, we can either use a timer on the camera, or if his sister is there, she can just snap the pic...or, heck, is she knows anything about photography, she could just take the pics...or if janna happens to be good at photography, maybe she would come down and do the pics...lol
it would be a good excuse to hang out and see each other, if nothing else...hee hee
so, yeah, as i mentioned, ups found my dress...it only took 4 months...now i am in a battle with them about getting my money back for shipment...and i'm not just figting it to be mean...i mean, i really do deserve to get it back...and i know i may lose this battle, but i will not go down without a fight...and i shouldn't lose the abttle, cause i am right...ups LOST the package...that is their fault...they did not call kari-lynn OR me, to get a correct return to sender address, when they had written it down wrong, and they did not call either of us to get a return to sender authroization...that's not anybody else's fault but their own...and i know it was turned away at customs, and that is not ups's fault...and if they had returned it to kari-lynn, i would not have a valid point...but the lost it after it was turned away at customs...they did not deliever back to canada...they lost it...so, what this means, if that it is ups's fault that it got lost and was not returned, and so i deserve the money for shipment back!!!
and that is all i have to say about that...lol
have a happy day :)

WINTER WONDERLAND...
it makes me want to start singing at the top of my lungs for all of Edmonton to hear...
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening??? In the lane, snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland...
i mean, it only took til the middle of march to get this much snow up here (ok...FINE!!! mke me a liar for a few days...march 9)...it's still crazy!!!
but i must say, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
not so beautiful to drive in (when the car you get to drive doesn't have the best for winter tires)...but, hey, it's a car and it's better than the bus :)
so, i thought i would share a couple pics of our wonderful winter wonderland...

EBAY.COM
so, i decided to try to hand out at ebay...will and i have been talkinga obut this for awhile, and now it is time to put it into action...i have a few different items that i have bought and am going to list...
well, i managed to list 1 item successfully, YAH!!! but now i can't seem to add any other items...
how irritating...
i guess i will have to try again tomorrow...
as for other news...
we have the receipt from our first set of immigration paperwork...that means we can now send in the next set...once that is sent in, immigration will send me a letter with date/time of my interview with the US Consulate down in calgary...we are guessing that i will be able to go back to california probably mid-late may...
will has just chosen his schedule for the next year...kinda, anyways...he will be working 12am-8am at the airport...and because he has the most seniority of the night shift officers, he will get to choose which one he wants before they do...he will take whichever shift gets him all or most major holidays off...with that schedule, we should have few problems with being up here in canada for christmas!!!
i am supposed to be going to When a Stranger Calls tongiht with my friend...i have only seen her once in the last month that i have been here, so it will be really nice to hang out with her...
life is good, overall...
snow is coming down like there is no tomorrow and like it is making up for lost time :)
it really is beautiful...we have had some beautiful weather here, even with the snow...
all is well...things are working out great!!!

it's the BIG DAY!!!
will is arriving today is just under 5 hours...but who's counting??? lol
he is only going to be up for a few days, but it will be so nice to see him...
as i look back on the month, it's funny that each day seemed to go by slowly, but overall, it went by fast...which is, of course, exactly what we want...
i can hardly believe a month has already gone by...the sad part is, though, that the paperwork is already taking longer than expected...so, we are hoping that it will pick up the pace in the final process...
hopefully, when he gets home, the 2nd set of paperwork will be able to be sent in...he can't send the 2nd set in, until he gets a receipt saying he sent in the 1st one....and he is still waiting for that...
so, hopefully, it will be there when he gets home...and then he can send it off...
well, that is it for now...
i know i have been horrible about blogging this past week...i guess there was just nothing interesting to say...
well, have a good one and i will see you again later...
p.s. i'm sure i'm the only one that notices this, but, i didn't really post this at 7:31...it was 8:31...for whatever reason i can't set the correct time according to where i am...so, it was 7:31 in california, but 8:31 here in edmonton...so, my point being, that he arrives in just under 5 hours from 8:31 :)

it's SNOWING!!!
ok, so it's kindof a pitiful amount of snow, but i can't afford to be picky about that right now...i'm just excited that it's snowing!!!
there's probably enough snow on the whole street to make one small snowman about 6" tall...hee hee
or enough to pack it into a suitcase (along with dry ice, of course) and send it down to my sister from another mother (aka sis-in-law, christine) in california...
well, that is it for now...i am getting ready to go to work for the day...so not excited about that, but, hey, gotta pay for plane tickets somehow... :)

circle journal...
so, back on dec. 31, i joined a website called scrapbookeronline.com
yes, you guessed right, it is all about scrapbooking...
well, there are all kinds of things you can do on this site...you can post pages that you have done, get ideas from other scrappers, swap different scrappy stuff, etc...
well, one swap that happens is called a circle journal...
that is where however many people who want to will say that they want to participate...so, in this case, 13...each person will choose a theme they want for their journal...you do an instruction page, sign-in page and a page to start your journal...
well, i decided to join one of these cj (circle journal) groups...called Sistas Around the World Circle Journal...
every month, on the 15th, the journal gets mailed out to the next person on the list...then, in 13 months, we will all get our journal back filled with other ladies' layouts according to the chosen theme...
the reason i am tell you all this, is cause i have just finished mine...well, maybe...tell me what you think...
instruction page...i think i need to add stuff to jazz it up, but i don't know what yet...
it says...
Places to go, people to see
Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon??? Did you do a trail ride on a mule???
Have you been to Taiwan and seen kids running around on the beaches???
What about the Eiffel Tower??? Have you ever been there???
Do you live in a quaint little town that has an annual fair that you always go to???
This is what I want my journal to consist of...the places you have gone and the people you have seen...
It does not matter to me what kind of materials you use, or anything as such, all I ask if that you do a two-page layout.
That is it, that is all...
HAVE FUN!!!
this is the sign-in tags page...everybody chooses a tag and decorates it as they wish, as long as it identifies themselves...
and this is my actual 2-page layout...kari-lynn helped me to get it started...i could not think of how to decorate it...

It does not matter to me what kind of materials you use, or anything as such, all I ask if that you do a two-page layout.
That is it, that is all...
HAVE FUN!!!
this is the sign-in tags page...everybody chooses a tag and decorates it as they wish, as long as it identifies themselves...
and this is my actual 2-page layout...kari-lynn helped me to get it started...i could not think of how to decorate it...

started work yesterday...
fun! fun! fun!
i work at XS cargo as a cashier...it is a discount clearance place...
the one reason i don't like working there, is cause they have such great deals and cool stuff, and i don't want to buy anything, cause i need to save my money...hee hee
it's alright...i started yesterday and i can handle most of the till process by myself...i definitely still call for help. though, sometimes...
the plan is that most mon-fri, i will work 10-3...then i will leave and go pick up my niece, aubryn, from school for 3:30...then i come home and tidy up and make dinner...it's a pretty sweet deal...i may work later today, though, don't know yet...rich has the day off so he will pick up aubryn and then if spencer is ok with me leaving at 4ish, then rich will come get me...otherwise, i may be there til 5 or 6...i'll find out when i get a phone call...
so, that really all is that is new...
are you reading this will and heather???

well, to be honest there is not a whole lot going on here since i got up here...
i saw my doctor re. the miscarriage i had...she has recommeneded that i keep my appt. with the obgyn and tell her all about my family history and see if they can do any testing...
Nytz, my pet bearded dragon is so big now...she is a lot less skitsish, too...when i pick her up, i can actually feel her in my hands now...she actually has weight to her now...it' actually kinda weird...she's so cool, but i think will would beg to differ...hee hee
i am starting work tomorrow with my bro-in-law...i will be working in the am as a cashier, then go pick up my niece from school, come home and cook dinner...
will and i are going to be sealed in the temple this next january...so, i have started looking at simple wedding dresses that i can get...i do have a certain style picked out, and i am going to go to Sposabella on wednesday and actually try on a dress of the same style so i can see how it looks on my...if you want to see the style i am looking at, go to www.eternitystore.com and look up style 8012...that is the style i am going to try this week at the store...see how it looks on me...
not much else going on...
it has been very very hard being away from will...i knew it would be hard, cause it was hard when we were engaged, but this is definitely harder...i always tried to not take things for granted, like having it with me all the time, but now that i don't have it, it's amazing how much i miss it...i miss holding his hand, i miss seeing his beautiful smile, i miss the way he strokes my hair...it's so hard...but the one thing that keeps me going is his knd, familiar, reassuring voice, that it is only temporary and he will be up visiting soon...
p.s. i totally just tried to make this post all colourful like my other posts, and apparently, i can't so that on this computer...:( that is so sad...

goin' back to canada...
not much to say here...
especially since i am running around like a chiecken with my head cut off trying to get everything done...i am infamous for leaving things to the last minute...and this is no exception...
so, as of 11:00 pm wednesday night, i will officially be back in edmonton...
i am going to miss will...i don't know how i will go every day without him...i can hardly wait to see him when he comes up to visit...

it wasn't meant to be...
"Sometimes God uses women to house angels until he has room for them to come back to heaven. You had an angel in your womb but it was time for it to go home."
"God is taking care of you guys and He has your little one in His hands."
these were, i think, the most wonderful words i could have been told...this has been one of the hardest things for me to go through...physically and emotionally...
i can safely say that much of my comfort comes from these words, offered to me by friends...
my other comfort comes from the amazing support of my wonderful husband...he has taken such great care of me...he held me in his arms as i cried and cried and cried some more...he bought me a heating pad for the cramping in my stomach and back...he brought me breakfast in bed...he even kept the bedroom door closed so Shawnessy wouldn't get in and wake me up...he took two days off work to look after me...and i can say is that i would not have survived yesterday if it was not for him staying home with me...
the pain is finally starting to subside, but it is far from gone...
the rest of my comfort comes from knowing that things happen for a reason...i may never know the reason, but God does...he knows why he needed our little baby back with him...
all i need to remember is that it happened for a reason...

padded room, here i come...
ok, seriously...i don't know how i do it...stay alive, that is...
a week or two b4 the wedding i burned my hand...honestly, i can't recall what i burned it on, but it burned bad enough to blister and peel and you know, see that i was doofusy enough to burn myself...
a couple days ago i am putting dinner in the pre-heated, very hot (450 f, to be precise) oven when i pressed my arm against the oven door...while i was on the phone!!! but since i was on the phone with my mother, no especially choice words were spoken...or screamed!!!
then today...oh, today...i am opening the bathroom door, and i somehow hit my toe with the edge of the door, which in pain, thrusts my upper body...namely the chestal area, into the edge of the door, which then, in pain, also thrusts my face into the edge of the door...namely the eye...
i am serious...how do i survive??? how am i not dead or permanently in special care...seeing as i am indeed SPECIAL!!!
and all i can do is laugh!!! because we all know that even if i were in a padded room, i would still somehow manage to hurt myself...even if i was walking to the door which would be opened for me, i would trip and hurt my ankle...or...OOOH OOOH!!! how about this scenario...i am sitting...always (never allowed to stand)...i would rock back and forth in boredom and fall backwards hitting my head on the floor...(if it were padded, though, it may not hurt, but i may twist my back in a weird position when i fall)...
it's just the type of thing i would do...
lol

so, i've been hearing rumors...
that it is FREEZING cold in edmonton...which, admittedly, makes me less and less want to come back...
so, i decided to check it out for myself...
today, a high of -6c (21.2f) with a low of -12c (10.4f)...
ok...i admit...it is colder than fresno, today, high of 12c (53.6f) with a low of 1c (33.8f)...but that is NOT freezing cold...lol
don't get me wrong...i don't doubt i will be wearing a toque, mitts and winter coat and wimpering my pretty little butt off, but that's only cause i am very aclimatized to fresno weather...which even i am willing to use the heater all day in...
i just have always laughed at how wimpy we as canadians are when it comes to the cold...i mean, i don't think -30c (-22f) is all that terrible if there is no wind...but give me -12c (10.4f) with a wind and i will cry...i just think it's funny how we always cry about how cold it is, and how "you need to bundle up out there, dear...it's frigid" (we've all heard it before) and i walk out the door taking my coat off as i walk...cause it's so not frigid!!! lol
anyhoo...maybe i will be singing a different note when i get there after being in CA for 6 months...i'm excited to come home, see friends and family again...but so sad to be leaving Will...i don't know how i will survive not being with him every day...
