Watch Out!

In the spirit of the biggest loser, tonight I went to an aqua fitness class. It was quite the work out. I moved muscles I never knew I had. I'm already sore and can't even imagine what tomorrow will be like. But I do feel good. Also, Chis went to soccer tonight, so watch out competition, cause we're gonna be losers....and then winners!

Yay for the Government!

Today I received in the mail an acadamic scholorship cheque for $1,ooo. from the Alberta Government!! Since my tuition is already paid, it's pretty much play money...or saving for future play, either way, I'm gonna have some fun with it!

It's Here!

The first snow fall of the year

What We've Been Doing

We've both been pretty busy with school and work and extra-curricular stuff lately. I had my last day of classes last Thursday and my first final was the next day on Friday. I have 3 more finals left and will finish them this Thursday at 5:30. It'll be a busy week studying for them and making my lesson plans for Monday when I actually start teaching. Chris has been working as usual. He still drives about 2 hours north to his sites. They should be finishing up soon and then he'll be doing office work. It has been great experience for him. He also recently joined a Men's Soccer League which he loves! He is playing goalie now and then will probably move out of the net later on in the season. They have games once a week and sometimes practices too. So between that and playing basketball every Thrusday he's pretty tied up during the week. On Friday we went out on a date with just the two of us. We have been doing so much with friends lately that we hadn't been on a date for a long time. We went to Earls for dinner. I got calm chowder soup (mom's is better) and a cajun chedder chicken sandwhich which was ever so tasty. Chris got chicken quesidilla's that were also tasty. We went to Baskin Robins for dessert. Chris had a fruit smoothie and I got Rocky Road ice cream. We did some shopping for the wedding (I'm sure that was Chris' favorite part of the date) and then watched Transformers (that was the more 'man' part of the date). On Saturday we over to some friends for dinner and games. We had pork sandwhiches, ceaser salad, chips and salsa, and cupcakes. We played Monopoly and I won!! Yesterday we watched Star Wars 4,5, and 6. Believe it or not, but Chris had never seen them all before, so this was a necessity. I made ham and pineapple pizza and it was a nice and relaxing today. Oh, and we still have no snow!!

Take a Look

I added the blog of the lady I am taking my card stamping classes from. It's great for ideas and tips. If you click on the link she has on her blog to the website there are even more pictures and they are categorized (ie. birthdays, christmas, etc).

Everlasting Autumn

We have had just about the best fall season in a long time. We still haven't had any snow! There are rumours of some today, and I guess I can't really complain because it is already November. I have enjoyed the nice weather though. I can still run outside and it was beautiful to see all the leaves change and fall and just to be out of doors. We've had a lot of sun too, so it hasn't been that dreary. So this picture is from back in October while on a walk around the legislature building. It was another nice crisp fall day.

Crafting

Here is what I've been working on lately. It's a scrapbook calender and all of the pictures are things Chris and I did that month last year. It is a work in progress, literally! Last week I had to do November and December because the year ended in October!

For some reason I didn't take a picture of September, but it's more of the same.

Halloweening

It's a couple days late, but here is our halloweening adventures. We had a little party at our place that turned out great and was a lot of fun. We had a pumpkin carving contest, donut on a string eating contest, halloween charades and more!

Here is Chris working on his halloween costume. He went as the Tin Man. My orignal plan was to go as Dorothy, but I couldn't find a dress so I had to come up with an alternative...

And the final products...Chris as Tin Man and me as Professor Umbridge. The theme between us is that we both have no hearts.

We had a pumpkin carving contest, guys versus girls, it was pretty intense. The guys pulled out the drill to help them out, but I'm not really sure if it helped them.

The guys carved a pumpkin Tin Man and we did the Transformers logo. It was a close call but I think the ladies won.

Here are some of our friends costumes.

Captain Hook and Tinker Bell.

Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam sandwhich.

Your favorite condiments.

Umbridge and Hermione, they must be under the imperius curse or something.
