Have you heard the news???

It is official.......I'm a TEACHER!

I graduated on December 14 and before I even walked across that stage I had already sent my application in for the substitue teacher list. Hopefully in Jan. I get the call to come for my interview :) As for now I am enjoying my well earned time off and not using my brain for anything but fun stuff :)

After the graduation ceremony my grad class of about 50 plus dates went to the Grande Hotel in Nanaimo and had a wonderful dinner and visited with the people that we had been in a class with for the last 3 and half years and will probably not see for quite some time, if at all ever again.

Here is a picture of me - The TEACHER!!!



I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!!
I hope Santa is good to all of you!!!

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!!

Last night I spiced up my life at the SPICE GIRLS CONCERT! It was awesome! Even David Beckham and their boys were there watching mom on her opening night. They were actually in the box up behind us..it was pretty cool! Here are the pictures and video from the concert.

I have just waited an hour for another photo to upload...I give up...for now.

Shopping and Aaron Pritchett!

Today I went shopping with a great gal pal of mine - Jenn! We got a lot of Christmas shopping done, which is great! I even got myself a present from Santa :)

Tomorrow night I am off to the Aaron Pritchett concert with some friends of mine - it should be a blast :)

I don't have too much else to report on. It's back to school on Monday and two weeks left of practicum :) Graduation here I come!!! I'm sooooo excited, I have the dress, the shoes, the sexy under pieces, the hair appointment, the hair clip and the date :) YIPPEEEEE so much fun!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend :)

A little bit of everything...

I found out where I'll be doing my final teaching practicum.............Maple Bay Elementary in Grade Two with the bestest teacher ever!!!!!!!! And my Momma is the secretary there!!!!! This is gonna be so much fun for my last practicum before I graduate!!! So excited!

I don't have too much else to report...

The family that I was a nanny for this summer is potentially coming over for a visit next Sunday - they live in Vancouver and I'm on Vancouver Island. If the weather is rainy they will post-pone though....but I hope I see them sooner than later :-) I miss those cute little dudes!

I'll update the dating scene soon... ;-) Stories, stories, stories...as always! hehehe I'll give you one little tid bit - Porsche Boxster Convertible!

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!!!
