Update From Us

Well there's not much new in our life here in Alberta. Josh has been going to school for the past month for his first year apprenticeship. He goes for another month and then continues to work at the Ford dealership for the rest of the year. And me, I'm still working at an oilfield office and I'm loving it!
Josh has started to count the days till Hockey season. How many? Let me ask him...12 more days til the Oiler's start. I have to say that I have become an Oiler's fan. Not too many friends and family from BC are happy but I have to be a submissive wife to my husband...right? Here's a picture of us at Christmas time after my mom had bought us these shirts for our family. She bought Oilers for us, Flames for Sarah and Brad, and Canucks for Jason and Darcy. I've also been blessed with a brother in law who is obsessed with hockey. Can you tell?

Meet our New Pet

Josh and I bought our first pet. A fish. His name is Rupert, Sir Rupert to be exact. Josh came up with the name. We were at Wal-Mart last week and decided we wanted a pet. The only pet our apartment would allow was a fish. So meet Rupert. He's still alive after 5 days but we've almost killed him once. We went away for the weekend and thought he'd be ok for a day without any food. When we got back he was swimming side ways on the top of his bowl. He would swim down and then float to the top. So we've been feeding him lots! If he dies, it will probably be of over feeding.
Now I guess you could call us official newlyweds because we have our pet.
Even if it's just a fish :)

Missing Vernon

I'm still here in Bonnyville but there are certain days that I miss Vernon so much. I miss my family and being able to hang out with my sister whenever I wanted. I also really miss my small group girls. This is a picture of some of the girls. From left: Sabrina, Hannah, me, and Kyla. This picture was when I went down to Vernon for Carey's wedding. It was soo good to see them but made me miss them so much more! Maybe someday I'll convince Josh that Vernon is a fun place to live. Or maybe everyone should just move to Alberta. (hint, hint Sarah)

Our Honeymoon

This was our room and the view of our whole resort. It was so beautiful!

Josh and I went to the Mayan Riviera for our honeymoon. It was so beautiful. We arrived on the Monday and stayed for a full week. Josh wanted to get a good tan to show that he had been in Mexico. So on the Tuesday, we went out onto the beach and I gave him some tanning lotion. BIG MISTAKE. Josh was white as a ghost to start off with but it didn't take long for him to turn bright red. The poor guy got the worst burn and he blames it all on his wife for giving him the tanning lotion. I guess I should have known better. So that put a damper on Josh's holiday but I still soaked up as much sun as I could.
It was a great honeymoon!
