Our trip to Nova Scotia, and everything since.

Ok wow, i've been an awful blogger. I have so much to write about, that it overwhelms me, and I just keep putting it off, but i've finally uploaded all my pics to my computer, so I figure its about time to write about everything. Be prepared for a long post:)

So almost a month ago now, Rebecca and I packed up and headed east for 2 weeks! It was awesome!! We were sad to leave Daddy here, and he missed his little girl alot ( and hopefully me too) but it was worth it. It was so nice to see all our family and friends!!

We got in at 7am on Thanksgiving Monday, but it felt like 4am for Rebecca and I. So we had a nice time sleeping all day, and then had dinner with the family, which was nice!!:)

It was just really relaxing to be home. I had lots of help with Rebecca. Every time I had to change her Tara was right there to help out! One time, I left her to go get more diapers, and returned to a messy scene of Tara with Becca's diaper off, and her feet in it! haha.
It was neat to see the kids with her, she was so stimulated by them, all the time. And they just love being aunts and uncles! I dont know if it was all the stimlation, or just the sea air..lol, but while we were there, Rebecca was sleeping 7 hours straight a night! it was awesome!!

I couldnt believe how fast the 2 weeks went, I didnt get to see everyone I wanted to see, or get everything done that I wanted to get done.

I got together with my high school friends the first week I was back. It was so awesome to see everyone! We got together late in the evening, and time went by so fast, that before we knew it, it was almost 2am. So we decided to stay over, so Rebecca had her first slumber party! lol

It was so neat that Reta and her baby Shelley were in NS the same time as us. We only got to hang out one day, which is sad, but it was still so good to see them! We had a mini photo shoot of the girls, you can tell already that they're gonna be friends..lol.

My 2nd Monday back, Karen was nice enough to let Rebecca, Hannah and I come over for One Tree Hill night!! It was so much fun!! It makes me sad to watch it all by myself out here:( or well, with just Norm, its not the same..lol

I was also lucky to be back for Calebs birthday!! He turned 9! That makes me feel old.

I got to visit my friend Doris when I was back. She was so happy to meet Rebecca, it was cute! She's a lady who lives in the apartment building that I used to live in. And she is awesome! Anyone who still lives in Halifax should seriously get to know her! She'll be 88 next month, but you would never know it! I was asked by a lady in the ward to help her out a few times a week, but cleaning her cat's litter box, and well I wasnt to happy to do it, but agreed. But once I got to meet her, and started going to visit, it was great! I would go down there 3 times a week, and stay for at least an hour talking. She had so many neat stories, and it was just nice to get away from the world and chat. I was sad to leave her when I moved out here, but its so nice to get to visit whenever I go back!

I got up the valley one day, to visit my family up there. The twins were cute, they refuse to be called "aunts". They said that they're too young to be aunts..lol

I also got to be back for Lydia and Graeme's wedding! She looked so beautiful! And it was so nice to catch up with old friends!

My last Saturday back, we went to a "sing for your supper" potluck dinner at moms friends place, it was a lot of fun! I thought I could get away without preforming anything..but my family wouldnt let me, so I ended up playing piano and singing a song I wrote. It made me kinda miss preforming..and writing. I donno, I guess I just dont feel inspired out here..lol. Rebecca is pretty much the only one to hear me sing anymore.

The day I flew out, we had another party for Caleb with the extended family, here's a pic of my family from it!

I think thats pretty much my trip in a nut shell.

So since i've been back in Alberta...

Well, Halloween.

Norm and I carved our first pumpkin together! I donno why we didnt carve one last year..but here it is!

Rebecca was a little princess, she was so cute! I wanted to take her out trick or treating, but felt bad, since I knew the people would know the candy was for me..lol. So instead I took her to the old folks homes around here, and showed her off to all the old people. They loved it!

Rebecca was 3 months old on the 1st. I cant believe now fast time is going! She's started laughing, and smiling all the time now, its so cute!! But every time I try to get a video of her laugh, she freezes and just stares at the camera..I think she's camera shy! lol

On the first, Norm surprised me with a candlelit dinner that he made all by himself, it was so yummy! He said it was for our 14 month anniversary, he's so cute:)

Speaking of Norm, he got fully accepted into school for January. So everything is a go! Our house still hasnt sold yet, so we're going through a realtor, instead of selling it ourselves. Im just praying it sells! I dont wanna have a mortgage with him in school!

Since we're gonna be renting in Lethbridge, we might be getting rid of Rocky. Its so hard to find a place to rent that will accept pets, pretty much impossible. Norms friend's girlfriend wants him. She lives with her family on a farm. I know Rocky would love it, with so much space to run around, and lots of people, but its still hard. Im gonna miss him!!!

Anyhow, I think thats probably a long enough post! lol. Rebecca and I have been sick for almost a week now with the worst cold, and ear infection (luckily just the ear infection for me, not her) so I should get to bed. I wont wait a month again before my last post!
