yet another summer roadtrip!!

We did it again! this time we went to kelowna and back. We went up the coquahaila to merritt then took the 97c to kelowna stayed the night at matts moms new place which had an amazing view! we went out to montana's for dinner and our waiter forgot to put our order thru so we waited for an hour then realized it had taken a very long time. The manager came out and told us that because we had waited so long our meal was free all we had to pay for was the alcohol which was awesome. We had dinner, which was really amazing( i will deffinatly go back there) and deep fried cheesecake for dessert! 4 meals 8 drinks and one dessert only cost 25$! haha. Then we went back to matts moms house to unwind and sleep because we were all very tired.Today we went on a little tour of kelowna.We drove through the town and saw all the shops and art galleries and museums and fancy hotels. Then we drove up Knox mountian for a gorgeous view of the okanagan lake! We drove to gyro park where we went for a little dip just me and matt. We walked along the shore to a little boat rental place. Next summer were going to rent some stuff but we just didnt have the time this visit.When it was time to hit the road to come home it was about 3. We took the long way home through summerland peachland penticton and karemeous. We stopped in a fruit stand to buy some fruit! it was so cute. Just when we thought we were making some good time....BAM there was traffic....and people standing on the road out of there cars. I saw a waterbomber and i knew it was a fire. Sure enough 2 hours later and about 2 km down the road we drove past a brush fire that was being put out. Some kids started a fire in the grass and it got out of hand. The bilboard legs had flames on them as a drove by. It was a huge burn mark all over the field and really close to houses. So to make up for lost time we got a move on it. we didnt get home untill 11pm, it was a really long drive but thats ok it was fun and i have some nummy fruit! it was a very good weekend. I will post pictures tomorow! i made sure to take lots! well that is all for now!

Rain rainy days

Rain rain go away,,,only for the weekend. We are still un-decided wether or not were going away this weekend. I want to but i also want to hang around town and visit with friends and go out for a nice dinner with matt....I dont know i still have a few days to decide. Tonite is the season premier for the new generation of 90201!!!Im going to watch it. Ive never seen the old ones so this should be good. I cant belive summer is just about over and haha to everyone who has to go back to school...im still glad i dont have to...i miss it tho. Last weekend for the p.n.e too, maybe we should go there but its so expensive. I dont know there is so much to do....who knows. I am packing and cleaning and organizing and throwing stuff out and then some more cleaning. The one part i dont like about moving is the cleaning part but it will be good on the other end when we didnt drag a bunch of crap to our new place.I found a bag of nibs...from halloween and i thought they might still be good because they are all individualy wrapped...boy was i wrong...they were hard as cement and pretty dull on flavor so out they went. I also found a ton of bruisers toys and he was happy to have them back...but 5 mins later i went in the bedroom and bam! it was covered in fluff...now i remember why i took them away in the first place. Sometimes i think he could be worse then a child but he is only a dog...my fur baby and i love him no matter what kinda trouble he gets himself into.Well thats enuf for now....xoxo

oh happy days

Dreams

I think i might buy one next year.They are pretty cheap...only 6 grand for a brand new one plus a jacket pants boots gloves and a helmet!I would look like a badd girl hehe. I love it.Me and matt have decided for our honeymoon were going to bike along the alaska highway! it will be fun and hot beause its in august.I cant wait. I was watching some bridal shows on TLC and it turns out im not the only over organized bride out there with a binder with lables and stickers and color co-ordination! Were going to see our new place again tomorow. This shall be exciting, Were also going to the lake for a much needed swim in nice cool water.Anyways i have to go now and do some more packing and cleaning,I wish someone would come over and keep me company tonite....xoxo

Baking with katie

I am a blog stealer!

No im not i just loved gardening with miranda i decided to do my own spin-off. with my specialty....BAKING!
On todays episode(hehe) i decided that because we are 2 days away from getting groceries i would make some sort of cheap but tasty snack using what we had an abundance of...Cereal and marshmallows(3 bags i must add...from camping but we were always too tired to make s'mores and always forgot we had bags before we went camping again!) and 3/4 finished boxes of cereal that matt thinks are "stale" but i know they are not he just wants to open the new box.So far i think that the chocolate ones ( i added chocolate chips to the melting marshmallows), are the best!)

Moving...the apparent chronicals.

So moving post #2

The packing began today. We dont have any boxes besides a few laying around from previous cleaning and or de-cluttering mission i went on.I packed some things we dont need around i.e candles and tea pots and that sort of stuff.I know for most everyone moving is boring and why should it deserve a whole post? I dont even know im just that bored. I hate not having a job and having nothing to do.So the end result of that is a turned inside out house and me not acomplishing anything really. I belive i have truly become lazy. I litterally didnt go outside today(my balcony doesnt count..i was just airing out blankets)I cant wait to move so i can get back to working and seeing friends and family.I need to get out and walk maybe with bean everyday but that goal means i need to overcome my new found lazy-ness.Well this has really drifted from my moving diary!I just have so much crap that i dont want to move..maybe i can post them here and if you want anything ask me? haha.I will when i come across them.Amongst the wedding details rushing through my head im having a hard time concentrating!Well i should go and "pack"xoxo

Moving!!

Well im pretty sure that its official that we are finally moving out of this OLD appartment!
Im not saying i dont like my place but when i say old i mean old.My closet door fell off and wont go back on.The kitchen tap leaks which caused the cupboard underneath to grow some lovely little fuzzy things. The bedroom window has no seal on it and it leaks not to mention its not much of a window when you cant see out of it.My deck doesnt drain when it rains so i have to go out and push the water out of the hole but then it goes onto the people below me balcony and they yell.Im glad to be moving.We are talking to a lady who has a basement suite on fairfield thats cute and perfect for us and she even wants a dog there!So by september 15th im hoping to be there. But one little problem..our landlord had decided that he wanted to change his number and we no longer have it.So how are we going to get ahold of him to give our months notice? We only paid our rent up till the end of september anyways but i want to move before then....i miss seeing my friends all the time and just being able to go out for coffee without having to drive all the way to chilliwack.Anywho i have some things to do.Xoxo

Where did this heat come from?

Its uncomfortably hot all of a sudden!
i dont even dare open my door to let in the usual cool breeze as it has gone away leaving my appartment sticky hot! I dont even want to use the stove. We have no fans and no a/c BUT i really wish we did. Maybe we will have to drive to wal-mart in the truck which has a/c and try to find a reasonably priced fan.I have been using a cold compress..you know those blue gel ones you stick in the freezer? Ya, well i have been using that for the past 3 days in order to keep cool. I cuoldnt even finish my omelette today because it was too hot to even eat but bruiser was happy.My arms are sticking to the desk. I have no idea how matt sleeps thru this weather. He is working grave yards this week and doesnt get home till 6 am.Time to move the ice pack to my head.I have the blinds closed and the door cracked open just enuf so my puppy can go out as he is chihuahua this heat doesnt seem to bother him but he has found a new place to sleep. By the front door on the floor i can feel some cool air from the hall way comming in...i wish i was small enuf to lay down there but ill let him have it.I dont know how people live in mexico and all those really hot places. I wish i could fly to alaska right now!!! Maybe i will bother matthew into going to the lake later today..after horrid bill paying but the bank has a/c. byebye for now! xoxo

job interviews!

Today i had an interview at future shop! The lady who did my interview said that she enjoyed meeting me and that i look comfortable with myself.I really hope that i get hired because thats the first step in moving back to chilliwack.Matt has an interview tomorow at johnston packers where chris works.Its not the greatest for money but it would do for now so we cam just get out of abbotsford. Krista went home today which is sad but hopefully she is moving out here in september with one of her friends. That would be cool to have her as a neighbour.Im looking forward to this week.Im going to apply at more places in chilliwack and maybe look at some places for rent. Me and one of my friends becca are going on a picnic later.Im going to make the same salad i made last night! Anyways, i must go and make some lunch.XOXO

home...at last but missin the country!.

For miranda and aria....Thats fred and wilma. The big one is fred and he is the dad of wilma the only female calf born this year.Fred weighs about 1800 lbs but he is not full grown.

what a way to celebrate the B.C day long weekend. We drove from kamloops to quesnel and matt and angie and blayne went alll the way to terrace! We stopped at my moms house for the night! that was really good to see her again and see her new place and all the buffalo. Im still waiting for her to add the pictures.Me my momma and krista went out for dinner at joeys only fish and chips! it was so delish!! we had a starter of onion rings and popcorn shrimp! I love the buffalo...they are so cute and big. Krista is scared of them and would freak out everytime i would go close to them but im not scared of them.Today we went to the agri-fair to celebrate bc day..HAPPY BIRTHDAY B.C 150 YEARS OLD!hehe. We saw all the horses and sheep and i even had a baby chick pet at my fingers! We saw the racing pigs and the most beautiful friesen horses! i want one soo badly..maybe one day. We watched the lumberjack show chef dez the R.C.M.P musical ride and draft horses pull up to 7500 lbs.There was so many cool things to watch! We had these really good smoothies. i had strawberry daquri and it even came with a little umbrella. I saw the SHAM-WOW guy! we watched his little demo and he gave us samples of the amazing shamwow! it actually works, i cant stop playing with it. We saw the chef dez show and he made us want to make a cobb salad for dinner so when we left we went to the store and picked up some items. It has lettuce tomatos green peppers bacon feta cheese (real!) chicken strips and i even made my own vinagrette dressing with this neat champagne vinegar that angie gave to me.While we were at my moms house matt asked my step dad who he has always been afraid of, if he has his permission to marry me and he said yes. It was really cute.I took him for a walk around the property and showed him where were getting married. My moms house is really pretty. its got really high vaulted ceilings and lots of natural wood so it always smells fresh. anyways i think that i have blabbed on for long enuf here! xoxo

On the road again

Well i am posting this from matts moms office computer in KAMLOOPS!
i know its not as exciting as arias trip to california or austrailia...but its my kind of roadtrip!
we left abbotsford last night at 8:30 and drove here in the dark. Matt always said he wanted to do it so we did. It was fun but on the toll highway it was raining and foggy but matts a good driver and we made it safe and sound. When we got into merritt it had stopped raining and we could even see some stars!!! so right now i am enjoying some breakfast compliments of angie( toast eggs saugage and coffee!!!) then i am going to get dressed and go! were driving to cache creek going to stop for some lunch and a break then were off to quesnel! where matt his mom and her boyfriend are dropping me and krista off at my mammas house for the night. We havent seen her in a while so this visit is going to be good.Then they are going to terrace to pick up a new truck and drive it back here.Bruiser likes to travel with us and he is good in the car so thats a bonus. Anywho. i should go but i will keep posting in quesnel! ALSO...24 DAYS UNTILL IM 20!!!
