I forgot...
Trinia reminded me this morning that we have blogs! I totally forgot! Oops.
My summer has been stupid busy. We were supposed to have 4 or 5 weddings to go to this summer... only 3 went through and one we didn't go to. Ryann (my daughter) was Trinia's flower girl and she was so adorable!!!!!!!! She pretty much stold the show - expect from Trinia. It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. Then we had Brendan's old roommate Brett's wedding. It was also very nice. The brides dress was really unique and totally suited her. It was an outside reception and it was COLD outside! Thank god they had heaters in the tent. Brrrr. Brendan was the MC for that wedding so my friend Meghan & I were dates. She was way better date than Brendan. I hardly saw him all night. We also had a family reunion this summer - Brendan's dad's side. It was a lot of fun. Ryann had a blast playing in a huge sandbox and play set. Besides that we didn't do too much else. Did a bit of camping - I think we got out 4 times including the family reunion. Brendan rolled a quad during Robert's stag and broke his ribs and bruised his entire body.
I'm hoping to have a very relaxing winter! Expect for Vegas!!!! We leave December 26th with 10 other friends. Its going to be a blast!
So thats it for now! :)

Facts thingy from Trinia
I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
1- Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2- People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (**if you’re a non-blogger, you can email them!)
3- At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4- Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
Eight Random Facts:
1- I just got all my hair cut off and I'm really liking it!!!
2- I also like Vanilla Ice Cream with milk in it. The first time I went to Trinia's house she taught me this. I have now taught Brendan (and a few other peeps) and they also love it. I like it because it get icicles in it and its crunchy. But I like to stir it all up together.
3- I have a large gash on my arm. I have no idea how it got there. I am quite accident prone and usually have massive bruises on my body and wonder how they got there. Its wierd.
4- I am planning on having another baby in about 4 months. Thats when we'll start trying. I really would like a boy. Although if I had another girl I wouldn't have to spend another bijillion dollars on baby clothes. Or my boy can wear pink! hahaha
5- I am going to Vegas in 4 months - hence why I am waiting to have a baby.
6- If I could I would sleep all day. I am very tired in the morning.
7- Sometimes I wish I was 18 again and I could do anything I wanted. I would travel everywhere.
8- I like to eat - a lot. If it wern't for my super metabolism I would probably be a 1000lbs. And I don't eat healthy. I like Pepsi, popcorn & chips. Ever since I had Ryann I can't eat chocolate so much - we didn't like eachother when I was pregnant. I'm hoping the next baby likes chocolate in the belly because I miss it.
I don't have 8 people I want to send it to... and since Trinia sent this to me then we'll leave it at this! :)

SOLD!
Today is the official day that we have sold our house!! Brendan & I had to rush into Edmonton yesterday to pick up the condo documents required to take off the final condition of the sale. So the lawyer should be going through the papers today and sign it all off! HURRAY!!! I am so excited!
On top of that excitement - we have finally found a house! It was a really brutal "negotiation"... if you can even call it that! But Brendan & I decided that it was probably best for us so we went through with it!!! We bought a brand new house (built last year) in Westgrove. It's a newer sub division in Edson and its really nice. I already hate one of my neighbours... next door neighbour too. hahaha. Oh well! I love the house!!! It's 1280sq/ft, walk in closet in my room & an ensuite! It has a BEAUTIFUL kitchen with all stainless steel appliances (I love cooking so that is wicked!)... the basement isn't finished but that just means that I can do it the way we like it! Outside is all finished too - fenced & landscaped. We even have parking for our holiday trailer!!! We get posession of the house on June 1st! It kind of sucks because they wanted to give it to us earlier, but on a MONDAY! Whatever, I didn't want Brendan taking a day off work for it but now we have to be out of here on the 31st (actually out on the 30th) so he ends up taking a day off anyways! We might just move out on the weekend so that he doesn't have to, but we'll see!
I'm already looking at furniture to buy for the new place!! Sooo excited!! I'll put pictures up soon!!!

WOW! Doesn't even compare to how excited I am!
First of all I would like to start off with an apology to my bestest. Trinia: I can't believe I haven't posted in so long! I hope you forgive me ;)
Now!!!!!! My news!!!!!!!! Brendan & I finally decided to put our house up for sale. We had been looking at a house that we wanted to put an offer on... and we thought "what if our place doesn't sell? Lets put it up ASAP!". So we started with barganing on this house that we want. We put our house up for sale Tuesday morning, knowing that it wouldn't be listed on the MLS site until wednesday or even thursday. Tuesday evening we are making dinner when the phone rings. Someone wants to see our place!!! Suddenly I had this amazing feeling, cleaned the place up as fast as I could and got everyone together and out the door. We came back at 7pm and started the waiting game. 9pm: The phone rings. Its Val our realtor. "Um I think you guys are the luckiest people on earth - you got an offer!". I almost had a heart attack!!!! She would be coming by around 10pm with the offer. After we saw it, passed out and managed to revive ourselves. We wrote down ACCEPTED! and signed all the papers.
We will be out of this place by May 11th!!!! HURRAY for us!!!!!
Now I guess we better be finding a place... ASAP!!!! hahahha

Very sad
Today I am sad. My baby girl is going to be a year old in a week & a half. :(
Seriously I am trying to think of where the last year has went!!! I look at her and she doesn't even look the same anymore! Then again, I don't even remember what she looked like at first without having to look back at pictures.
Yesterday I finally motivated myself to go through my bijillion pictures on my computer and order the ones I wanted for our photo albums. I ordered 100... From November 22 to February 13th. Geeze. Then I had to organize them since Extra Foods always screws that up! It made me sad... but so happy that I have the wonderful sense to take pictures on a very very regular basis. Brendan always laughs when I do my "omg, i can't believe we have a baby!" or "omg, Ryann is going to be one soon!". But she really doesn't seem like she should be that old already!
For all of you who do not have children yet... it really does go by fast. I remember everyone telling me to enjoy her being a baby and to not push her to grow up too fast. Of course I thought "BORING! I want her to grow up and run around and talk..." now, I wish she was a baby again. Maybe this is why I want to have another one so bad - damn weddings this summer :) - I am a bridesmaid!! So I will be waiting until after August. Anyways... what I was getting at was that I wish I hadn't pushed her to grow up as fast as we did... but I'm also very glad that we did. Ryann is so much fun! Today we had such an awesome day, laughing and running around. Playing with her new Care Bears ball, reading books, chasing the dog... tickle fights... and all the kisses I get now! Kids are so much fun!!! If I were a millionaire with a surogate mother I would have a million. Oh, and a nanny! haha.
Ok, I am done ranting. I am also ready for the birthday party... I think. I might cry a few times...
