Fall has definitely arrived!

Hubs and I actually have the weekend off together this weekend. I think we are going to be spending time getting things ready for winter as fall has definitely arrived. I'd like to weed the garden one last time and hope to get the BBQ cleaned and put away and the patio table covered. It's sunny today so we have to take advantage of the weather before it rains again. Trust me, once it starts to rain it doesn't seem to stop. We might also head out and do some outlet shopping tomorrow as well. I'm in the  market for a new purse. My current purse is beginning to see better days and is starting to get some wear tears in it. I'm also over the studs and bold pulls on the zippers. Is like to get something a little more refined and adult looking.

I'm also hoping to get some baking in soon as pumpkin season has definitely arrived. I had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season the other day and it was delicious!

Congrats!

Wishing a very belated Congrats to one of Hubs friends and his wife who welcomed a baby girl a month ago today. Enjoy your new bundle of joy, she is so precious!

Sept 9/11

To honor those who lost their lives in 9/11 my blog will remain silent in remembrance.

Me Update

Seems like I took a bit of a blogging break from here the month of August. We have certainly been busy the last little while so here is an update:

* I was busy the end of July/beginning of August doing my practicum for school
* I finished school.
* We went to the airshow in Comox.
* We visited Hubs family for 4 days while up at the airshow.
* We got to see one of Hubs best friends who lives hours away. He was visiting family and took his own family to the airshow, so we were able to catch up which was awesome.
* We ended up doing a day trip to Texada Island and stopping in to visit Hubs grandmother and aunt up island on the way home.
* Hubs turned down a job on Texada.... There really is nothing there... trust me
* Been busy applying for medical transcription jobs
* In the process of getting our gutters replaced. We have new vents in our roof, now we just need to get new gutters and ceiling fans put in in the bathrooms.
* We hacked down our blackberry bush in the yard. Thank god, that thing was starting to take over.
* Hubs stepdad and stepmom came down to visit us overnight a week ago, so we were busy getting the house ready for their visit.
* My sister was accepted into a dental assisting program after being on the wait list for just about 2 years. She got the call last minute a week ago to start school this week. So excited and proud of her.
* My brother starts his 2nd year of university today!! He is also the proud owner of a Rolex... or an investment piece as he calls it.
* My best friend forever gave me exciting news today!! Will share once she announced it.
* We are thinking about taking another trip in the fall..... I know... I know..... lol
* Hubs got his bridgewatch ticket the end of August. I am so proud of him. He worked so hard to get the ticket and it means he is 1 step closer to his final goal.
* My mom is doing good, all tests are coming back great!!
* The busy season at work has slowed down, thank god... So from here on out (Until February anyway) it is quiet season WOO HOO!!!

Right now life is pretty darn good. Both Hubs and I are making progress in our future goals. We are happy with our little home and looking forward to having fall arrive.

Can't believe Thanksgiving will be here in a little over a month. Summer seemed to fly by this year, and even though we didn't get out camping, we still did lots and enjoyed the weather. I must admit though, I am looking forward to the cooler temperatures, the smell of pumpkin and for some more baking to begin!!

Congrats!!

Wishing a huge congrats to my best friend Kathryn and her husband Matt on some big news. I won't announce it yet as they haven't made it public, but I am so excited for them both!! (no its not baby related)

Also, wishing you both a happy 2 months of being Mr. & Mrs.!

1st Day Back to School

Wishing everyone a safe and happy first day of school. Whether it is your first day of kindergarten, last year of high school or first day of university.... take this time to grow as a person, learn as much as you can and remember the most important things you ever will learn was in kindergarten.

To all the drivers out there.... PLEASE WATCH THE SCHOOL ZONES AND AREAS SURROUNDING THEM.... the kids are excited to be heading back to school and may not be paying attention, so please for everyone's safety, slow down!

Here's a callout wishing my brother a happy first day of his 2nd year of university, and a great day to my sister who is starting her venture as a dental assistant today.
