yay for ward potlucks.


Today was pretty uneventful...I still don't have a job. I dropped off a few resumes yesterday, but no ones called me yet. I've just been working today on the house. I built a bookshelf today! and started to organize all Norms books.

I went to a ward potluck last night. It was my first time visiting the ward. The church we're going to is about 20 mins away in a small town called Champion. I think im gonna like it there. The ward reminds me a lot of back home. Everyone knows everyone, and they're really friendly. I found when I was in Calgary no one really made an effort to get to know you. I think that if I wasn't dating Norm I probably wouldn't have liked it. There arent many young people in our ward though..haha. Kinda like this town though! There are a few younger couples in their 30's with kids, and then the rest are over 60! I love old people though, so it will be okay..haha My future Aunt in law got up and announced that im moving into the ward. I hate being the center of attention at new places..haha..or in general really..haha I donno how im gonna make it through our wedding day..hahaha.

I cant wait till this weekend!! My sister in law, and her husband and daughter are coming to stay with me!! We're gonna go to the lake, and just do some outdoor stuff. We have a fire pit in our backyard, so we'll have some bonfires. Im just excited to share my house with someone! I also cant wait for Norm to move here! I miss him sooooooo much!!! Its crazy! I didnt think I would miss him this much. I love how no matter what he can make me laugh. I was upset the other night about just being out here by myself, and missing home, and well I started crying. And he gave me a wet willie with my tears to make me laugh, who does that?!! haha. I cant wait to spend eternity with him!!! Only 38 days to go!!

Im looking for a good professional wedding photographer in Halifax for when I go back there, if anyone has any suggestions!!

Im off to bed. Its crazy how much sleep I get out here! Its just cause there's nothing else to do..haha.

All moved in!






Its been a while since I last wrote. And its honestly just cause i've been so crazy busy!!

Im all moved into our new house now...it's crazy!! I never ever expected to be living in my OWN house within 3 months of moving here! Its all kinda surreal still..haha. I cant wait till I get married though, it still creeps me out sleeping here alone at night. Im a big baby..haha. Norm is still working in Calgary right now, so that sucks. He's moving out here on the weekend though, and is going to stay with relatives till we get married. He got a good job out here, and starts on Monday. I love how things with work have just been working out. This week will be the longest i've gone not seeing him since we met.

So I've decided that I need to find a part time job. I really dont have to, cause Norm can support me..haha. But it is SOOOOOOOOO boring out here!!! Honestly, the days seem soooooo much slower. It is a much slower pace though, which I guess I wanted. I havent seen anyone under 60 in this town though either. There are soooo many old people. And it such a small town that everyone knows everyone. I was at the grocery store the other day and there were these old ladies talking, and I could hear them say, wow there are so many new people moving in, look. I was thinking I can totally hear you! haha Everyones really friendly though, so thats good. They all dress like they're from the country though..haha. its funny:)

All the wedding plans are coming together nicely. There are just a few little things we need to get done now. Im so excited for my family to come visit!!! And to go back to NS..even if its just for a week. Im really missing the beach!! Its been so hot here lately!! Norm took me to the lake the other day, and its just not the same!! We have an outdoor pool across the street from us here though, so thats nice.


I went to the movies with Norms mom and sisters yesterday, while he was at work..haha. We saw Hairspray. I really liked it! I love his family. They're so awesome! And have made a real effort to make me feel like part of the family, which is great!!

I should go get a shower and find a job. Its cute, Norm keeps getting after me to go out and do something. He's scared that the longer I just stay in the house, the more im gonna want kids right away..haha.
