We are either going to have to change the name of this blog or start a new one all together.  I'm not sure which one we'll do, or even if we will continue on writing... I guess we will see.

This has been a fantastic week.

On Monday, we went over to Jan and Carl's place for dinner.  We got there and the music was blaring, the kids were running around and dinner wasn't even started yet.  We don't really like eating dinner so late but we were smart and fed Ryan before we got there.  He had a great time playing with all the new toys at their house.  We had to watch him closely because Jan and Carl have a 2 year old son who was always interested in the toy Ryan was playing with, or he would swing a toy out of the toy box and almost hit Ryan in the face.  Joseph has a cute little leather rocking chair that Ryan crawled into and started rocking in.  I wish I had a video of it so everyone could see just how cute it was.  We walked home in the rain and it was amazing.

On Tuesday we went over to Shearwater for dinner with our really good friends.  It was just so much fun.  I've been trying to figure out how to explain just how fun it was but it's been tough.  All we did was sit, talk and eat, and laugh.  There was much laughter.  And that's what I'm going to miss the most. It's just so easy to have fun with those girls.  Tyler and Jessica played some pool and apparently Tyler took a shot that jumped off their table and made it in the corner pocket of the next table over.

On Wednesday, we stayed close to home and spent time together as a little family.

On Thursday, we were invited over to Kendra's place because Jessica left town today.  We knew we couldn't stay long because Ryan was with us and it was already 8.  We stayed for a little while but then Ryan got upset.  No one else's apartment is baby proof so our time was spent getting Ryan away from the candles and stuff.  It was nice to get out of the house again.

Today, I went out for lunch with my previous co workers at the RCMP.  It was really nice to get out of the house again.  I had a BBQ bacon cheese burger and it was super tasty.  Again, we had good conversation and they were really excited about us moving to Manning.  We mostly talked about kids and all the fantastic things they do.  Tyler was at home with Ryan because his union is on strike right now.  So, when I got home I got to spend the rest of the day with both of my men.

Ryan is such a little sweetheart.  He walks all over the place, laughs all the time, is silly all the time and I can't get enough of him.  He just makes my day and life so much better.

And the thing that makes my life worse is the stupid people who live beside and above us.  Right now, we are listening to the stupid cat who is running around.  I'm just hoping all the noise doesn't wake up Ryan.

We are inching closer to being home for Christmas and I'm getting antsy.  I always get this way before we come home because I'm just so excited.  I've been on this rock for 4 months and cabin fever is creeping in.  Also, I just want to move home already... one more month!!!
