Such a sweet guy...

So this past weekend was supposed to be full of fun, while it had it's moments it was not what I had hoped for! Friday after work I drove over to Tyler's to spend the weekend. Friday night was nice and relaxing, we went for dinner and came home and watched "Open Season". Saturday morning I woke up...SICK! I was all stuffed up and a pounding headache from my sinuses. We thought a nice late morning, early afternoon hike might help to clear me up - it did feel good! Then we had a nap and just took our time getting ready for our fancy dinner plans for Tyler's friend's birthday dinner that night. I was feeling pretty good, and we left around 7. Dinner was at 8, but by 9:30 we hadn't ordered, as not all the guests had arrived, and I started to feel awful!!! Light headed, totally starving and ready to be sick. I had to get Tyler to take me home :( But I told Tyler to head back to the party. I'm so glad he was able to have a fun time - if he didn't go back I would have felt even worse! He did so many sweet things for me that weekend, he'd cut up fruit for me and leave it beside the bed for me to nibble on, he went out at 8am to get me cold medicine and while we were at dinner he went across the street to get me advil - what an incredible guy!!! I owe him big time!!! So Sunday was pretty rough as I had been up all night sick, so I slept in and then drove back to Tsawwassen in the afternoon. Hopefully next weekend will be A LOT more fun! Canada Day Fireworks!!!

Here is a picture of Ty and I lookin' all fancy and fantastic together before the dinner that I never got to have hahahaha!

Baby Shower!

On Sunday I attended a baby shower for friends of Tyler's and mine (they were Tyler's friends first ;). Colleen and Gerrett (hope I spelled those right) had a beautiful baby girl named Jordyn. She got lots of great clothes and toys - she's so fashionable! ;) Tyler did a great job of baby shopping - with one idea from me :) The boys all went mountain biking while the girls chatted, ate great food and played with Jordyn.

Here is a picture to show the cuteness of baby Jordyn :)

I'm GRADUATED!

I officially have my Bachelor of Arts in English and Physical Education! Yesterday at 2:00pm I walked across the stage at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo and received my Degree. One down, one to go! The next time I walk across that stage will be on December 14, 2007. I will be receiving my Education degree! That's right, I will have TWO degrees! I can't wait to be done. I start school again on Aug 20th for 7 weeks of classes and 6 weeks of practicum. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait to be done!

First Day of Work....ok Play!

So today was my first day as a nanny. The day started off at 8:00 am with some toy playing. The rest of the day consisted of naps, snacks, lunch, toys, outside time, and cartoons! Not too shabby! Tomorrow is the first time I take the oldest one to play school. Should throw an interesting twist to the day. Maybe we'll even make it to the park tomorrow.

I was a little upset last night, being in a new place and having all the responsibility, but I'm feeling a bit better today.

Hope tomorrow is fun!
Toodles :-)

4 More days of Practicum!!!

I am counting down the days until this high school practicum of mine is DONE! Not that I don't enjoy my students - I do. I just would rather be with primary aged children - they are sooooo much more fun. They tire me out a lot faster, but it's really worth it :-) I think this week I'm much more relaxed and just going to try and enjoy my last few days with my students and then run as fast as I can out of that high school!

Let the countdown begin: 4, 3, 2, 1.......

My Number One Guy!

This weekend I ventured over to Vancouver to spend time with Tyler - have I mentioned he's the BESTEST BOYFRIEND EVER? We went for sushi with a friend of his that is like a brother to him - it's really nice to meet all of the people that are important to Tyler. It means a lot that he wants me to meet them. After dinner we went for Gilato (two 'Ls' or two 'Ts'?) the ice cream stuff. While we were having ice cream Tyler's brother Dan met up with us with one of his friends. Then it was back to Ty's for some drinks and a pathetic attempt to play scatergories - was it scatergories? On Saturday we went to Ikea and Richmond Centre - Ty needed a new digital camera so he could take pictures of.....ME! haha. Then we had a lovely dinner made specially by my very own private chef - Tyler Cairns :) Today we had a lazy morning and then went for a walk along the sea wall. And to finish off our day we watched the movie Borat - it was rude, but very entertaining!

I miss Tyler more than he will ever know, but I know I'll see him in 4 days :-) I just absolutely love spending time with him - nothing is ever boring when I'm with him.

Thanks Ty for another incredible weekend!

Gettin' busy in the kitchen!

Yesterday and today I have been busy in the kitchen! I made homemade ravioli (the ravioli dough was made with roasted red pepper puree) and the stuffing was made with ricotta cheese, parsely, spinach, and herb and garlic cream cheese - yum yum!
Then I made 16 mini banana loaves! I used the tray with the mini sized loaf pans and they are so cute! I have already put a little care package together for my boy to take back home with him to put in his lunches!

Well, that's all that's happening today...enjoying my last few days off before practicum starts on Monday :-(

Oh, 2 more sleeps til I see my man!!!! Soooooo excited to see him!
