I usually hate being woken in the middle of the night, but I guess that's what I get for marrying a man who works on-call shifts. Tyler got called in last night at 3am. I was in a half asleep daze and was confused about what day it was. I asked him to make sure the alarm was set for the morning and he told me just to go back to sleep. I thought I was making sense, but I guess not.

He came home again at 6am. And we slept on. I woke up and got out of bed at around 9:30 this morning. I tried to be quiet because I knew he didn't get a ton of sleep last night. I left the room and filled out some more RCMP papers while I ate my Cheerios. I had to change out of my pjs so I went back into the room and Tyler was awake. Not sure if it was because of me, but he didn't say anything about that so I will continue to assume he was just ready to wake up. We talked for a bit and then got up. Tyler got called in again. I was asked to go to the RCMP detachment for my guard training so I left when Tyler got called in.

This training was pretty boring as you may have may have assumed. I have already worked 2 shifts and I pretty much knew everything. I got there at around 11:30am and got right into the giant book of dry material. The trainer basically told me that most of the things we were supposed to, we don't have to. It was a very informative 4 hours of my life. We talked about how I get to hit a prisoner on the head with a fire extinguisher if they overtake a member. There isn't a lot to that job, so its funny that the rule book was as big as it was.

I got home at 3:30 and Tyler was taking a nap on the couch. He looked so cute all curled up under the blanket. We talked some more and decided we should probably get some food before the inlaws arrive tomorrow morning. It's hard to judge how much food to buy when we are so use to buying only for 2. We do have a menu and I am pretty excited for the tasty food we will cook. We came home and unloaded the dishes, then made a strange dinner. I cut up an orange. Tyler boiled some hot dogs while 2 corn cobs boiled beside them. We also made some crinkly fries. It was an odd combination of foods but we are both full, so it did it's job.

We just finished playing a bit of Mariokart. Tyler spent the afternoon while I was away, looking up cheats on the internet. Now he can beat me at any level in the game because he knows the short cuts and special places to go to make the track shorter. He's a little turkey for only telling me one secret passage. I didn't understand how he was suddenly always doing so much better then me.

The weather today was beautiful. Not super hot, but the sun was out and there were little clouds in the sky.

Kitty was being so cute this morning. She cuddled in my arms pretty much all night. She is so silly. She doesn't really like Tyler and wont stay in the bed with him. If I leave to go to the bathroom, she will follow me. I love that she loves me back like that. It makes me feel like all the energy I put into her is worth it. It would be any way, but this way I get a little something out of our relationship.

I think we are going to try to watch Repo Men tonight. It looks like a crazy movie and I hope it doesn't disappoint. We will have to watch this one on Tyler's computer as it didn't work for us to try and put it on a memory stick to watch on the tv.

Tomorrow the inlaws arrive. I think we will show them around our little town. Perhaps show them all there is to do here. Then we have to decide what to do the rest of the day. I think just relax outside if the weather is nice. Looking forward to it.
