'Tis the season!

It's been a pretty fabulous last few months. Not sure why exactly, I've just been fairly happy which is always a good thing. Halloween was pretty fun. My costume was pretty boring, but I wanted to be able to dress up at work so I had to pick something pretty simple..


As you can see, my roommates (Linda a.k.a. Lady Gaga and Erin a.k.a. zombie?) put much more effort into their costumes. I was a cat. Meow. We all went to the ward Halloween Dance which was actually pretty great compared to previous dances... Plus I ran into my cousin Katherine who was down from Calgary with a few of her friends! It was nice to see her!

After Halloween came preference. This was my first preference I've actually been to! I was quite stressed about it actually. I had heard stories about girls having to ask multiple people until they find someone who hadn't been asked so I decided to be on the ball and snag my date a little early. It worked. He said yes. This is me and Braeden! (p.s. I dyed my hair...)


I think the best part of preference was the group I went with. There was a group of ten of us. We made dinner for the boys, and then wandered around a park downtown which was decorated with christmas lights and they were showing christmas movies outside and had free hot chocolate. It was quite lovely. It was at the park where I found the true love of my life....




That soldier swept me off my feet... but I had already promised Braeden a fabulous evening so I had to leave him at that park. The dance was quite spectacular all thanks to the musical stylings of DJ Lindy.. She did a fantastic job!

Work is going well. I got a raise! My boss pretty much loves me.. He gave me a week off for Christmas and gave me the extra shifts I asked for. I enjoy working there most of the time. (Shout out to my bestie/homie Matt!)

The semester is coming to and end! I'm doing fairly well. I think I'll do better once I start taking the marketing classes that actually interest me. Let's just say I never plan to be an accountant OR a statistician... barf.

SO excited to go home for Christmas :D I've always known that I loved Christmas, but I've come to realize how much I truly truly TRULY love Christmas and everything about it!! I'm very traditional and I love how Christmas is full of traditions! I can't wait to be at home for a week and stay in my pj's the whole time being a kid again with my siblings, eating nothing but homemade "nuts n' bolts" and caramel corn... with a turkey dinner thrown in there for good measure!

Life is Good!

It's been awhile... I think that's why it's been awhile.

Lethbridge has been good to me lately! I decided to go back to school at the University of Lethbridge and study Marketing. I'm actually *really* enjoying it! Accounting is pretty boring, but at least I think I'm getting it and I should do well.

I'm still working while I'm in school. My boss is super supportive of school and trying to build a better future so he's been working around my schedule. I'm actually enjoying the staff I work with also. They're all easy to work with and I'm getting along with them much better lately. The entire kitchen staff says I'm their favourite waitress BY FAR.. which of course makes me smile :)

There are lots of new people in the ward this fall which has been fun. There's a house of boys that lives just around the corner .. about a 3 minute walk away. It's been fun having them close by. Gives me something to do if I get too bored! One of them happened to be selling a queen size mattress set just in time for my air mattress bed to get a hole in it! It was perfect timing really. So now I have my very own big girl bed!

Linda and I went on a toilet adventure a few weeks ago! The toilet downstairs had been very touchy lately. It was constantly squealing and clogging every other day. So Linda and I set out to purchase a new toilet! We had no idea what we were doing, but we pretended that we did! Luckily our friend Braeden is a plumber so he told us what we needed to buy. He installed it for us. We have a new passion for toilets now! We notice other people's toilets and what brands they are! Does that make us losers? Perhaps... :)

I guess this update wasn't as long as I thought it'd be. I guess it could be more detailed, but that's that! Lethbridge is a great place for me right now!
