Back in School :-(

Here I sit in class, for the second week in a row, and yes it is Aug. 27th. SUMMER IS NOT OVER PEOPLE! I am sitting in a computer lab awaiting my instruction on what I am to work on next. As you can tell I am a little bitter. However, like I have said before, the quicker I start the quicker I am done! Graduation is December 14th! So exciting! Let my life begin!

In happy news, I am heading camping for a night or two with my friends - we have Fridays off :-) And I also have a date this weekend! Hopefully this one goes better than the last - eeek! All I can say is he talked way too much, and not only that but it was all about him! PAINFUL!

So I'm sure you're thinking, "I thought she had a boyfriend?" Well I did. We broke up just over a month ago. So onward and upward :-) But look on the bright side - now you get to hear of all my funny dating stories again hahaha.

Also, I'm hoping the weather holds out this weekend as my parents finally purchased a sea biscuit for the boat and I am dying to get out and try it. I was like 10 the last time we had one (we gave it away with the boat when we sold it years ago). We now have another boat and are just getting back into the fun watersports that can be done with a boat :-)

Hope all of you have a great week, and just be thankful you're not sitting in a stuffy computer lab ;-(

My last day as a nanny...

Today is the day that I have to say goodbye to my two little sweet boys that I have played with all summer, 5 days a week. Aidan (3 and half) is such a great little guy - we have a lot of fun together and I will miss our weekly baking session - sometimes bi-weekly :) And Everett (14 months) has learned how to walk this past week which I'm so glad I got to see and be a part of. I think I'm going to miss his huge smile and giggle the most - and his cuddles :) I plan to visit often so I know I'll see them both soon, but still, I have spent a lot of time with these boys and feel very honoured to have been given the opportunity to be their nanny.

So the reason I have to leave today - school. I start on Monday! I am in my last semester of school of the Education Program and I only have 7 weeks of classes and 6 weeks of practicum - therefore we head back earlier than any other student. Oh well, just that much closer to being done.

Well I better sign off now - hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Family, Sun, Friends, Cold drinks and Fun!

Well I figured I should post something new, but I don't have a lot to report.

Saturday was my Gramma's birthday party here - she is 74! It was a nice gathering of family that included swimming in the lake, BBQ and alcoholic beverages ;) Gram's even stayed until 9pm!!!

Sunday I went to the waterslides in Victoria with my friends and had a blast! It was like being a kid again. Good times had by all :)

That brings us to today - Monday. The family and I were going to go boating and tubing, but everyone was kinda feeling lazy so that idea will be put off until another weekend.

Hope everyone who had a long weekend has enjoyed their extra time off :) Happy fun in the sun!!!
