  • It's been about a billion years since I've updated on here ... I'm WAY too addicted to facebook I think!

    Lots has happened since I last updated ...

    I survived 3 weeks in Winnipeg and never want to do it again!  SOOOO COLD!

    I got engaged a few weeks ago which is pretty exciting.  It's been a big surprise and shock for most people but it's probably the only thing I've never been more certain about.

    His name is Mike and we met late August 2006 (we've been together for 7 months) so I guess you could say it's been a whirlwind courtship.  Our wedding is slated to be August 2008 (hopefully on our 2 year anniversary).

    We're heading off to the Mayan Riviera, Mexico in two weeks which I'm super excited about!

    I'm moving to Ladner this summer :( to save money for our wedding :(  Who knew getting married would  be so expensive!  If anyone has any cost saving ideas let me know!!  Seems like a lot of places in Vancouver require minimum $16,000 for food, not including rentals, etc.  It's CRAZY!

    So that's about it from my end ...

  • It's been awhile since I've updated ... 2 months to be exact!  Lots has been going on.  My personal laptop is broken so I'm computer-less at home.  But I do have my work laptop.

    I'm currently sitting in my hotel in Winnipeg ... it's 5:30 am BC time and it's -50c outside.  Less than ideal conditions but it's fun none-the-less.  It dumped snow out here a few weeks ago and because it's soooooooooo cold the snow is still around because it can't melt!  It looks like it snowed recently.  I'm in Winnipeg for 3 weeks for work.  It's a looong time to be away from family, friends and my boyfriend :(  But as my roommate says distance makes the heart grow fonder.

    I went to the Barenaked Ladies concert on Friday night!  They are probably the most talented musicians I've ever seen.  They were making up songs on the fly; made an entire song up about all the bald men on their crew ... one person starts and the rest of them just pick up.  Very talented!  They're definitely fun to watch.

    Anyways, time to get to Head Office.

    Cheers,

    Michelle

    This is the view from my livingroom window BEFORE that second storm came through and blanketed Vancouver AGAIN!  WHITE OUT!  Craziness!

    I bought my first car!!  Yet another sign of growing up :(

    Only 6 more weeks until I'm in -40c Winnipeg temperatures!

    Brown water is GROSS!!!  The weather here is unbelievable!  It snowed briefly today before the torrential downpour continued.  Still no water around here ... It took 3 different locations yesterday before I found a 1L bottle of water!   They still haven't restocked today OR they have and are sold out!  CRAZInESS!

    I took a shower in the brown water today ... GROSS!  My roommate will still boil and drink the brown water though *barf*  Some people can handle anything I guess.  Seriously though, the water looks like dirty toilet water!

    I have two weeks left before I start my sales position.  Another 2 months until I take off to Winnipeg for three weeks!  Time is flying!  Tomorrow I'm going car shopping ... I've decided on a 2006 Honda Civic LX 4dr dark blue. I figure this car will last me for 20 years since it's a Honda.  I'll be able to use it to go to Whistler, roadtrips and even when I have kids!

    I came to a realization last weekend, I'm actually growing up.  I no longer party on the weekends, I'm more likely now to go out for dinner and a movie with my boyfriend or going for a drink with my girlfriends to catch up.  No more crazy nights, no more crazy stories!  On top of that, now that they're finally letting me loose to the public at work, I'll have to wear suits everyday and have grown up conversations.  But then again when i think about what it was like a few decades ago, people our age were married with kids!   

    Anyways, getting picked up soon for a games night with friends! Ohhh how lame am I!

    Cheers,

    Michelle
