A bummer weekend-not so much...

By -
OK...so my mom and I get to work Friday and all is good. About 3 hours into work, we get a freak snow storm, and end up having to leave early. Sure, it's always nice to get home and get things done with time that you weren't expecting to have...BUT we had plans Friday night and we were so excited for them! Nothing super exciting to most I suppose, but we were going to finish our Christmas shopping. I love picking up presents and wrapping them under our Christmas Tree. It's so homey and cozy looking. Anyhow...so that night was shot. We hoped to go into Lethbridge on Saturday, but the storm just kept getting worse.

It snowed, and snowed and SNOWED!! The wind was super bad which doesn't help the situation AT ALL! Don't I sound like such a downer?? Of COURSE I do, I can admit it. The thing is, what turned out to be such a "bummer" weekend, wasn't that at all.

We ended up cleaning out or office...which was long over due. We got the house cleaned, laundry done, lunch made, practiced our music lessons(Richard-Guitar and me-Violin-other things long over do), and all this by noon. We got to hang around the house and relax. I also made a bunch of cards, which is something that I LOVE to do, but never take time to do them anymore. Then we finished the day off going to Mir's and Adams and played cards and had fun. It was so wonderbar!

Then, we got a call last night stating that Church was canceled today because of the weather. They felt that the road conditions were too dangerous for people to be travelling to church. It was such lovely day, baking and listening to Christmas Carols. I LOVE Christmas time. I really wish I could keep the tree up all year round. If there was anyway I could do this, trust me I would!

Now that the weekend is over, I must say that I'm so glad that we got snowed in, and were forced to have a great weekend, lol. It was so fabulous!!!

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta

Six Months...

I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that on the
