So I guess it's been a while since I have updated this, due to the fact that we haven't had internet until this week! So yay! I'm back.
Updates...well let's see here. Blake and I are now officially moved up to Edmonton for the summer. I LOVE it up here. It's absolutely beautiful. And..there just recently hasn't been any wind. Southern Alberta is known for the wind, so supposedly when we moved up here there wasn't supposed to be ANY wind...yeah. Lies. It was windy every single day until this week. And the wind was worse than Southern Alberta!! But luckily it has ceased, and now we can more fully enjoy what this city has to offer! It's finally sooo green!! I think this step was supposed to happen let's see..two months ago?? And now we're supposed to be seeing flowers everywhere!! But no, slow start. But it's okay. As long as summer comes I'm okay with that. Another AWESOME update... MY WORK PERMIT FINALLY CAME! WAHOOOO!!! I've already been applying to places, but unfortunately I'm limited in where I can work, because of the limits on my work permit, and because I am not always going to have a car, thus limiting me with my location. So..who knows. Also, so many people aren't looking for just summer work they want permanent, which isn't gonna work for us. So too bad! But I'm so happy the process is finally really starting with my Permanent Residency! WAHOOO!!
So before we moved here we went down to Utah Easter week. It was very, VERY much needed for me! And I'm so glad that we went down before this summer in which we won't be able to go down at all. It was so, so good to see all my family, and how much my cute little nephew has grown!! I didn't even know he was really talking, yet alone him being able to say my name and know who I am! First thing I heard when I walked through the door "Sissa! Sisissa!!" ahh! Love him so much! He also is finally getting to know who Blake is uncle "bakey". Which just made my heart so happy! We basically just hung out with the Fam while we were down there. I honestly just love to be at home when we go down, and just soak it up. I was suprised when my family celebrated my birthday (2 months early) with everyone! It made me sooo happy! I always hate being away from my family on my birthday so it was such a good suprise. For my Birthday my parents got me a sewing machine! AHHH!! I was sooo excited!! So this summer I'm going to do my best to learn how to sew! I already have a pattern and projects that I'm trying to work on! So we'll see how that goes. :) My sister also got me 2 of Lauren Conrad Books, both of which I finished in 2 days because we had no internet or tv the first couple weeks we were living here! Oh how i've read so many books! I also got to go to my cousins wedding while we were down there, even though it had us driving back until 1 in the morning, I was so happy I was able to experience that and have Blake there with me to meet soo much of my family, because they really don't know him that well!
So after Utah, we headed out to Blake's family's house to have a little easter with them as well! Mind you we got in at 1 AM, and then at 8 the next morning we had to start packing the car up, because we would be driving to Edmonton (6 hours away) that day! It was sooo packed! Luckily Blake's dad is a master packer and we were even able to fit Blakes sister in the car with us, to drive back up there.
So yeah! That's what we've been up to the past couple months! Blake is gone from about Noon to 10:30 at night! So at least we get to spend the mornings together, as well as all of Sunday. Oh how I look forward to Sundays! We've met sooo many great people up here, and I know that we are making many friendships too, and I couldn't be happier about that. This job is very, very hard, and I'm so grateful for a husband who has committed and works so hard everyday to this job. It's been a rough first month, but I know this summer is going to be SO worth it.
So that's what's been up with us lately! I hope that life is going well for everyone else, and I can't wait for the sun to start shining every single day!! ..Blake is already so tan... I need something to get me outside...this town kind of freaks me out. hahaha :).
