Wowza! Its been a long time. I'm wondering if I should continue to post here haha its so infrequent!

Ok so to recap, Halloween passed us with no real event. The plan was to decorate our neighbours house and maybe give out candy but it was way too cold and there weren't many kids out. Plus, we didn't buy any candy so that didn't really work out. It was nice to have the night off from work though.

It was my birthday last week and I am happy to say it turned out to be very nice. I had a bit of a princess moment when I felt like Chris wasn't going to do anything special but then he did, he actually bought me flowers! And he came to a sushi restaurant with a friend of mine. I got some very nice presents, some hot coco, a book, some candy, some nice cards, a video game and a neat travel mug. It was nice.

Work has been up and down and it is draining the life from me. In October I had less than 190 hours, where as in November they had me working 210 hours. Now in December they are trying to cut back on overtime hours so I have 146 hours this month. I dislike the inconsistencies but I think I will enjoy all the down time this month. Granted, all the things I could do during the days that I'm off will likely be closed due to the holidays but still.

Chris has been doing pretty well with work, getting contracts set up and keeping busy. He was off for a few days around my birthday in November. It was nice having him home the first few days but that got old really fast. He doesn't like to let me sleep in! Lately hes been doing work with our neighbour which has been nice. The neighbour (Jon) has his own reno company so when Chris has down time hopefully Jon can hook him up.

The dogs are doing really well, all happy and healthy. They do have a very strong smell which is unpleasant. Even with a bath they stink. Its frustrating. Roxy is losing big clumps of hair all over the house which is making it a longer cleaning process. Paul's nails are too long and are making snags in the couch. We just got the couch like 3 months ago and it looks terrible. Oscar is being a jerk, getting growly and snippy. I think he feels overwhelmed with all the other dogs in the house. And Emma, well shes wonderful. Stinky, but very sweet.

Anyways, time to get back to the movies. Its almost bed time anyway. Enjoy my pictures!

Habs and Thanksgiving

Oh man! I totally thought I had written something up about the hockey game I went to with Chris and his parents but I totally didn't! Oops!

A few weeks ago Chris's parents invited Chris and I to go to a pre-season hockey game with the Ottawa Senators playing against the Montreal Canadiens. Of course I said yes, I had never been to a hockey game (that I can remember) and Chris's parents are nice people so all in all it was to be a great night. I wasn't disappointed! There were fights, shoot outs, penalties, big screen camera fun and the wave. Super fun! And even though the Habs didn't win it was still a great time.

Some other news is that Chris and I are in temporary care of a small and extremely adorable dachshund. Her previous owner is a girl I went to high school with and who now has two kids. Apparently Emma (the new dog)snapped in the face of Brittni's toddler and had to go. My understanding was that Brittni was waiting to hear back from a dachshund rescue out in Kemptville or something and that if she didn't hear back quick enough the dog was to go to the SPCA. Well, I contacted her and told her I could take her dog for a little bit just so Emma wouldn't have to go to the shelter. I misunderstood what Brittni was saying cause now when I contacted her to ask about what was going on with the rescue she said that it was either I take the dog or it go to the SPCA and the rescue had never really been an option. Looks like I'm a sucker.

Anyways, now we have 4 dogs and a cat. Make no mistake about it, this 4th dog will not be staying we are trying very hard to find a new forever hoe for her but its hard because of her previous living situation and attitude she needs a very specific home to go into.

This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend which would be awesome except I am working. Chris has two family dinners to go to and I will do my best to attend both. I look forward to spending time with his family they are all such nice people. And then I have Monday off for which I am thankful! I am also thankful for Chris and our wonderful fur baby family.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend too!

Hello everyone!

Its been a busy and chilly last couple of weeks. Chris is busy busy busy at work, doing a kitchen and brick on a fire place. Really great stuff.

Some new things happening at the house. For one, I got a haircut. Chris seems to think it looks pretty good so that makes me happy. Second, I bought the dogs their Halloween costumes for this year. Again, really cute and Chris likes them too. Third, well...I joined a roller derby league and bought my first pair of skates. I'm very excited I'm hoping to be on the fundraising committee as well so if you know anyone who wants to throw some money at a not for profit organization do not hesitate to contact me!

I booked my ticket to Houston for my birthday. Next is the hostel. I think I've got it all figured out though, I'm very excited!

As per usual, check out these pics!
