Summer, sighs of relief.

Well, it's finally here! The end of an APX summer is in sight! I can't believe it. Has it really been 4 months? Um, it DEFINATELY has and thank GOODNESS there are only single digit days left! I was a lucky one though, I actually got to leave to Utah for a month. And then just this weekend both Blake and I flew out for his brothers wedding for a few days! So we were lucky. Others..not so much. They were here..THE WHOLE TIME (amy). So my excitement is only a portion of what others may be experiencing with the end in sight.

Blakes brother's wedding was absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures! Too bad. Once some are posted, I will be sure to steal them and post them on here! Brayden and Janae were beyond happy! It was such a beautiful day, and I was so glad Blake and I could be there with them! Chris, the guy that filmed Blakes and mine wedding (video on the side) actually came and did theirs as well! He is such an amazing guy! If anyone is interested let me know and I will give you all his info! It was so much to hang out with him again. He is legit.

It was for sure hard to come home though, we kind of wish we would've just driven out home, so we could stay, but its going to be worth it to be back here because we are going to meet our quota of installs! BIG YAY! We had a red eye flight home, so our flight left from Calgary to Toronto at 1 a.m, 4 o clock eastern (which is even worse because we both still suffered from jet lag). We were sooo tired, we thought the 4 hour flight would be easy to sleep through. We got seated, there was hardly anyone on the plane, and we were in the back, where there were hardly any people. It was so dark and quiet. All is good, right? WRONG. Once we got into the air, this lady walked her old mom to the back, and sat her RIGHT behind us. They were talking..sooo much. And on top of that, they turned on BOTH of their reading lights. Seriously, the only lights on in the WHOLE plane. Were we mad? Uh, chya'. Blake, a little more than I...okay, a LOT more than I was. I got probably an hours worth of "sleep" the whole 4 hour flight. And that was all the minutes I got some shut eye added up together. Not an hours straight of sleeping.

We finally got to Toronto and we just both felt shakey and sick..so we got some food and that helped a lot. We had 45 minutes, which was just perfect to walk to the end of the airport to Tim Hortons (I had never been before that). I hate waiting around. Which..is why it was horrible when our flight left an hour late. But, it was our final destination so it was okay, no stress there.

Once we arrived in Moncton it was a 2 hour drive back to Saint John. Wahoo....No, really, I was happy because its the LAST week of being here. And I'm actually quite excited for our drive home. We're going to stop in Wisconsin for a day or so and visit Blakes mission. How cool is that?

Oh, some other good news. The 2nd day we were back at home (in Alberta). We got a reply letter from the Immigration office. Wahoo!!!! Unfortunately, I can't work, still, until my permanent residence gets approved, which is kind of a bummber because we thought I could work while it was being processed. But the point is... THEY REPLIED. They HAVE my paperwork. And it IS being processed. No more wondering about if anything is happening, it is!! Yay! So, I think its another 6 months, not 3 like i thought..because I was counting from when I sent it in..so I'm just gonna say its 6 from when i got a reply! So by Christmas basically I will be legal! Hopefully, its less time then I'm thinking. But either way we are sooo much closer then where we were! Yay!!!

Anyways, come Sunday we will be OUTTA here!! So good. So good.
