My honey must really love me, he bought me 3 new fishies for our wee pond AND 4 trees for our backyard!!!

Maybe Monday we'll plant the trees and make them sturdy. We have a maple, 2 black alders and 1 wierd named one. Its supposed to grow tall and skinny and turn orange in the fall.

Maybe next weekend we'll get one more tree and have our backyard planting all done!!

Yay for the long weekend!!

Saturday was a fun day...we went tubing with the youth of our ward & the 1st Ward. It was so much fun, I have been pestering hubby for years to do this & we finally went!!!

Now we have our own tubes & can go as often as we like!! Just need to find a way to pump them up without hassling too many people!

Best part is we've been invited to go floating/ tubing again over Labor Day. Water might be chilly but I think it'd be so worth it, plus it reminds me of Jamaica & Mamacita & her friend...such lovely ladies!

Not Drowining anymore!

Since I've been back from Canada it seems like I've been drowning. Don't get me wrong its lovely! I thoroughly enjoy being busy at work all the time. It just seems like lately I can't catch up or get ahead. I so like getting ahead of things.

So yesterday I stayed quite late for me at the office but I am able to breath again at work. Still able to stay busy yet give me a chance to step back and breath.

It is lovely!!

I'm home!!

I'm a horrible traveler when I'm on my own. This last week while I was in Canada I ventured maybe 1 mile on my own. That was so I can get a toothbrush that I forgot to pack. I didn't even bring my camera as it was a working trip.

The time there was LONG. It seemed like Thursday couldn't come fast enough. The weather was quite nice while I was there. It sprinkled a wee bit, but overall it was probably in the low 70's where you kinda needed a jacket but not really. I didn't even use the heater in the car I finally got on Monday morning.

Overall, a good trip. There are always the few mishaps to get over, which for me was mainly getting a truck. I think it was a ford Ranger, but when I did get the car it ended up being a chrysler of some sort. Very nice inside too. It came with heated bum warmers!!!

Now that I've been home the last few days it still seems like I'm playing catch-up with work and trying to get adjusted to the additional duties. Eventually I'll feel at ease with it and not fret so much. Give me a month or so which will mean I've done 2 payrolls on my own and then we'll see how I feel.

I've Arrive

Well, I'm glad to say I've arrived and landed at my hotel in Calgary. I even drove myself to the hotel. Thankfully the rental company had a gps thingy so I've got that for the week. Sadly though I have a small truck that barely fits 2 people which I may need to fit 3 depending on what we do for lunch this week.

The flights were okay, I sat next to a cute guy that reminded me of a heavier version of my Da. Chatted some with me at the beginning of the flight and as we were landing. In between he was working on his Sudoku book, which had me intrigued. Very nice chap, even offered to give me a ride to my hotel as he was passing it on his way home. Sad to say I had to decline as its just scary, plus I had a rental car oops, Truck.

Tomorrow I head back to the airport around noon to trade in the truck for a car and pick up Todd from Corporate as he is joining me in our "Business Meetings" with Candice.

Guess I'd better get some sleep, if I don't think about it too much I think I'll be able to sleep without crying. But I miss my hubby...

I know, I'm a dork. I should be reveling in this time away, enjoying this freedom and instead I realize how much I rely on him and miss him for the out of town ventures. Not to mention its a new and scary place for me. And its out of the country!! Well...kinda.
