2 years ago today...
We closed on our 1st home! It's hard to believe that we have been in our home for 2 years already. Time certainly does fly. Our home has been through so many changes in the last 2 years. I'll have to post some before and after pictures in a post in the near future.

Been super busy
I feel like I have been slacking in the blogging department. Between starting my new job at work and changing the hours I work, and going to school full time (on top of my full time job) I haven't been as active on my blog :(
The countdown is on until Mexico! It's definitly getting closer (but won't say when I'm going exactly). I promise to do a review of the resort when I get home. We finished making the final payment on it today! Now we just have to pay off our credit card.
The weather is getting warmer now. The days are getting longer and spring is definitly in the air. I weeded the garden last weekend and Hubs mowed the lawn the other day. I also tackled the blackberry bush in the yard. It was getting way out of control.
My best friends wedding is coming up in a little under 4 months! Can't believe it's almost here. Dress ordered, just have to put in my time off request then I can book my flights.
I've been loving my new job so far. It's so nice to be able to wear normal clothes and not a uniform. Wear my hair down and paint my nails. I'm a little nervous as I'm on my own next week (there is someone else working in the office with me, but my trainer has moved on to their new job so I'm kinda on my own).
I can't wait for tomorrow nights finale of the Bachelor. Neither of the girls were my final pick for him, although I'm rooting for Lindsay.
School is going good. I'm plugging away, hoping to get ahead before we go to Mexico. I'd like to be ahead by about 2 weeks so that I don't get behind while we are away.

New Job!
On Friday, I received a phone call to go see my boss's boss before heading into work. When I went to see him, he offered me a 4 month office job! I am so excited to be getting this opportunity as I didn't expect it at all. I applied for this job a while back, went for an interview, and of course someone else got the position.Well I guess the person who got the job, found a new job, so the spot was open and I was next in line for the position! How awesome is that!
This means no more shift work for 4 months. that's right, its monday-friday, 7-3 or 8-4. Weekends and holidays off!
It couldn't have come at a better time either. We were going to be getting really busy at work with ann increase of groups coming in and a lack of staff. What's even better is I start monday!

Thoughts
It seems like I have been severely slacking in the blogging department. What with working full time and going to school full time it seems like I have little time to blog, read or even watch tv for that matter.
Not too much new, wild and exciting going on with us right now. We both just had 4 days off and went to visit Hubs family up island. It was so nice to get away for a few days and see some family. I haven't been up to see Hubs family since May of last year (time has flown by so fast) and we were definitly overdue for a visit.
It was also really nice to see Hubs grandmother. She now lives on her own since her husband passed away last June. It was so nice to be able to brighten her day by visiting and having tea with her. We brought her a care package with goodies in it (such as oranges, apple sauce, soup, cookies, carrots, spaghetti, etc) and made her day by bringing her chinese food.
For Valentine's Day, Hubs and I both had the night off (normally we work opposite shifts) and decided to have a quiet night in. We cooked enchiladas (thanks pinterest) and they were awesome! Since we are going to Mexico, we decided to have a low key Valentine's Day this year.
On Sunday we decided to go to the local home show (which ended up being kind of crappy) but we did get some info for sunrooms, blinds and a landscaper. After the show we decided to go for supper since we were downtown anyway. Hubs friends had recomended a place called Pig BBQ Joint so we decided to go. The food was pretty good (think pulled pork, deep friend mac and cheese, baked beans and corn bread). They served the food on a tray (no plates) with wax paper on top of the tray. I would definitly go back, although I didn't exactly enjoy the cramped tables (you couldnt move without bumping into other chairs).
