Greetings from Banff!

We made it!
Almost missed the flight because we were strolling along. Got our car, its basically like a go cart! hahaha Jons kneese are at the steering wheel!
We rented a GPS with it, I almost threw it out the window, but then we got it to work properly.
We drove 1.5 hours to Banff, and its beautiful. Everywhere you look there are hige mountains. We went horseback riding, and we even went through water, was really fun. But then I couldnt walk! I was in so much pain, my knees were locked in place. weird.
Tomorrow we plan on canoeing in lake louise, going up in the gondola, and to hot springs.

Since I will be moving out, I get to buy all sorts of fun house hold items. (even though I should save my money for the essentials!)
So I went to my favorite kitchen store Ares, and bought these beautiful napkin rings! Of course that means that I need nice napkins, and need to invite over 8 people! (I don't know one person in Windsor)
and then I tried to take one of those really cool closeups like my scrapbooking friends know how to do, and this is what I came up with!Not quite the look I was going for, oh well.
I also went into the store Benix, and bought a glass chess set for 10$, I think on sale from 30. Jon and I like to play, so of course we NEEDED it.

Wake up Friday and sing happy birthday to myself. Bring our rented car back to airport.
Get in new rental with my newly arrived parents.
Check in at fancy hotel where the wedding is.
See my brother who will be arriving from Nicaragua! and Start the wedding festivities.

Did I mention the best part? My dress fits!!!!! I just hope I dont put back the weight in the next week. I went all over town looking for gold shoes, finally found a pair.
Here is the very cool hotel we picked in Banff, it has a huge hot tub made to look like a cave.

and a good one of me and jon!

in the past few days...

I graduated yesterday! yahoo! Ceremony was a bit long, but I didnt trip walking across the stage!
Started my new job at the CLSC, its ok, but Im still 'new'.
Last week had my graduation party! it was great! I wore my party dress, and loved it! My friend Miss Mel came to take pictures, and I cant wait to see them. There was so much food! And leftovers, and then the next day I started a diet.
I got great gifts! A Concordia sweatshirt from Jon, lots of cooking/baking stuff, and DIAMOND earrings that I chose, from my parents, grandparents, and me!
I bought a new white top at Winners on Sunday, and I thought it was perfect to wear to the ceremony. Even though my mom said I should wear a dress. And most people did wear dresses, but I like to be different! I love this picture:

Some Recent Pictures

Today I took my graduation pictures. 25$ for my hair, 15$ for manicure, 8$ for parking downtown, and 28.50$ just to sit for the photos. And after all that, I decided I hated how I looked. The photographer showed me on the camera, and I didnt like them. I did cut my hair short, and had it curled/wavy/straight/bangs and it doesnt look like me! Why would I want my grad pics to not look like me? Oh well, I hope one will come out nice.

Here are some recent pictures, that I am happy with!
Here I am at SC, hard at work!

Here's one from my sisters birthday this week, my 92 year old grandpa is having a shot of scotch.



And here is a pic of me on mothers day with straight hair

random things

My fellow scrapper/blogger Claude encouraged me to write 3 random things, here they are:

1. I never ever sleep with pants on.
2. I enjoy a piece of toast and cream cheese for breakfast.
3. I say goodnight to my doll Mimi every night.

And in keeping with this challenge, I tag Ash to do the same!

SO annoyed right now with my mom,
She is upset that I want to work 4 days a week this summer instead of 5. Does no one understand that starting soon I will be working full time until im 64! yikes
And, doesnt she realize this is my life, AND AND AND im going to be 23 in a few weeks, not 3!
MY LIFE.
NOT HERS.
oh well.
God forbid she should be happy to spend the extra day with me, after all I am moving away soon.
