Another regular day!

I wrote this title a long time ago and now I dont have a lot of time left anymore. All the distractions here are crazy. Anyway. Matt and I had a FANTASTIC weekend in halifax and I have such a funny picture story to share with you. I already tried to put them on, but I couldnt do it... Matt offered. But I had other things to do on the computer and when Matt has to do something for me on the computer but I usually lose it. He does what he needs to do for me and then all of what I needed needs a lot of work so he needs to do it. Then when he is done I have usually moved on... so we'll see when my picture story gets up. Long story short.
Love you all and now it is time for me to work and i am hoping that I can get them up by tomorrow and hopefully you'll check back.

Three more Sleeps...

... Until our weekend away. It starts off in Moncton where we will attend the car show all day. I was planning to go shopping with my girl friends while the guys went to the show. But some things came up in their lives and they aren't able to come anymore. It is ok though, I asked Matt if we could leave the show a little early so we could still catch the mall in Halifax. I would rather shop there anyway. Plus Pete will be at the show. I miss him and whenever I am in PEI he is always busy with his friends, so now I can force my company on him at the show... hehe. He has no clue... muahahaha.
Then we are spending the night in the delta on the sixth floor overlooking the harbour so Matt can get some sweet shots with the camera. :). Then we will sleep in, relax and get ready for the cirque du soliel. I am really pumped to really spend some quality time with Matt. And when the show is over we are going to Freddy and trying to catch night church. The sermon is about the origins of the Bible, We both think that sounds intriguing.
I am hoping that I am not sick for this special weekend.. . so far we have sent three kids home puking this week, not to mention the poor little guy who barely caught me on Sunday. Poor kids... its always sad when they are sick.
Anyway... I need to get back to work. Hope you have a day that is great. Love yoU!

A quiet weekend at home...

Well as quiet as my weekends ever are. I was a little mopey on Friday night.. SO, Matt said we could get a pizza from Sobeys and buy a movie. We didnt really find one that we wanted to see, But I so appreciated the thought. On saturday we went to Church. We hosted a love your neighbour carwash and BBQ. It was free to get any of the food and get your car washed. God was very involved in the process too. We had A LOT of food donated and also I think He was in charge of the prewash. It was raining about 5 minutes after we started setting up and It cleared completly right when we started to clean up. BUT we got a dozen people I think. My theory is that we spent more time talking and getting to know the few people who did come than we would have if it didnt rain. I could be completely off the mark, but I do know it was intentional.. I mean look at the start and finish of the times of the rain.
Anyway... Saturday afternoon I had a bath.. I decided I dont like them.. because our bathtub is TOO small... remind me to NEVER do that again. then I layed on the couch read a book and had a little nap. In the evening we went out for supper with Pat and Ashley, went to their house for a movie and ice cream cake.. YUMMY! Matt and I finished off the evening strolling downtown and Matt took some pictures. It was a good night. we are also planning on going to Halifax next weekend after the VW show.. we are getting a hotel and touring Halifax and then on sunday we are going to see Cirque du Soleil. i'm so excited... and the best part? It was all Matt's idea, he planned it, organized it. yay!
Love you!
anyway.. it is getting towards the end of my shift..so i should be going.

Another 'Ol Day

Well.. .I know that the pictures in the last post are not centered the greatest, please know that Matt picked and placed them there with Love... AWWHHH. Don't you feel special now? The picnic table one is his favourite but the other one is my favourite. It is our friend Brian sitting in front of the fire playing guitar. Which one is your favourite? We should definitley have a poll.
Tonight Matt and I are going out for dinner with a whole bunch of our friends tonight to celebrate the graduation of our friend Renata.. She is graduating with her BED (Bachelor of Education that is ... and not her sleeping bed) I think that should be fun. I just talked to Mary via Gmail Chat and after getting her completely confused she told me the correct way to spell it. I guess it is spelled B.A. ed. .. although I think BED is a lot more funny.. which is why I left it.
I amuse myself often and keep myself laughing and I do believe Matt has the same sense of humour although I'm not sure he would agree, Stacy says it is.. and she is always right.
Other than that I have no news to share. This way you can catch up on the reading cause I bet you're surprised there are three new posts in like 3 days. I amaze myself sometimes.
Have a good one!
Love Amanda

the gym

So I joined the Gym last week. It is the one that is in the upper level of the Superstore. Matt talked me into it and my Friend Ashley has one at the same gym. We go to some of the group exercise classes together and it has really proven not only to me, but the poor unfortunate people who ended up standing near me how uncorrdinated I really am. I am hoping that coordination is something that can be learned and is not just something you are born with. I should add however that working with children all day I really do see that coordination is something you are definitley born with. The gym has been good... I think. I can't remember when I have ever been this sore in my entire life... seriously. I told Matt that I would need a cane, he said I should ask the neighbours since he wasn't using it the last time we saw him :) I think it is good though. I am really trying to work the muscles in my body while I am still young and have the energy... and apparently working out gives you more energy which is what I need.

Matt was surveying at work today and He found a dollar on the side of the road. Now can you imagine throwing a loonie out the window? it was on the side of the highway... random, but more lucky than a penny I think.

Other than that things are just their usual busyness... Matt is washing the dishes as I blog. I feel slightly guilty, but I cooked... so it seems fair.

ANyway. I thought I would leave you with a few pictures from Matt's weekend.

a long time ago...

I wrote on my blog. I was home this past weekend and I heard some sad stories about how my blog was missed. Since I have to get back to work in exactly 3 minutes and I actaully spent most of my break reading a book you wont be getting much.
Matt and I are enjoying the weather immesely and this past weekend I was in PEI for one night for a ladies rally. Matt hung out with his friends and did some crazy things which included burning the entire inside portion of the top of his pinkie finger.. .OUCH. Meanwhile I got him a signed book from Mike Holmes in PEI :)
Anyway... that is what I can post in three minutes. It's better than nothing :) hehe
Love you All!

A New Author

I am a new author :) I was so tired of being signed in and out of my email and blog because you are supposed to have one with the other, well at least it works better. I dont think it is the most efficient way to post but... O WELL! At least i will always be signed in.
We are currently having a doozy of a storm, it was labeled light flurries. I went to pick Matt up at UNB and the roads weren't great but everyone was taking their time and going slow, so that is usually better. I got to UNB and I couldnt get up the hill. I'm sitting there trying to remember everything everyone has tried to teach me ( I would name names but there are far too many.) i finally made it into the parking lot and I tild matt about 5 times how glad I was that I didnt have to drive anymore.
We had some chicken fingers and watched Madagascar 2 It was a lot of fun and good time with Matt. He was supposed to have an exam tonight but it was cancelled along with GEMS. So he is spending the night studying, he has a lot going on, so I am trying not to be disruptive. I took down the curtains and dusted them off and then everything fell of the ledge "amanda" style. Then I broke a light in the string of lights that are still above my window... yeah... I still have a garland up. I was going to put it in the closet but Matt likes it up and thinks it looks to bare without it and there really is NO room in the closet anyway, so up it stayed. Then I really nicely asked Matt with a smile and everything to lift up the staircase where I keep the spare stuff and get me something... and he did. I was so good at not distracting him.
Now I am slightly bored. I have a few cards that I should make but I like watching TV while I do that, but that would be just plain distracting. so I decided that you guys might like an update.
Other than that though, the excitement is limited to me falling asleep on the couch every night and Matt studying until he can't keep his eyes open anymore. Not very exciting, belive me, im living in it.
BUT I am happy. Matt said we could go try out our new skates tomorrow night after work, so i am pumped about that. Then Saturday I am going (while Matt studies) to a church sledding party thing then Matt and I are going out for supper in the evening. So lots of nice time for us :)
Anyway. I am talking to bec on MSN so I should go!
Lub you all!
