Saturday

Today was a good day. Saturdays are the highlight of our week, no matter what we do.

Tyler got a call early, at 7:15am, to go to work. I continued to sleep and I slept until Tyler woke me up at 9:30. I was a little upset that he woke me up, because I was pretty much out of it. He wanted to eat breakfast with me because he was going out for a few hours. I woke up and there was already pancakes on the table. They were so good because my love made them for me. We had a lovely time together.

Tyler went out fishing with the person he works with. They were gone for a while, so I cleaned the house, did the dishes so that when Tyler came home, we could just enjoy the day without worrying about that kind of stuff. Tyler came home and said he had a bunch of fish he had to fillet.

I went down to the beach where it soon looked like a massacre took place. Tyler was using a really cheap knife so it didn't look very nice after. Tyler caught 1 grey cod, 1 ling cod, and 4 rock cod, and 1 mystery fish. Good job, hun!

Then we came inside, Ty showered and we planned to go shopping for food. While Ty was out fishing, I made the menu. I'm trying some new recipes from our cook books. We will see how they turn out, but just to give you a clue as to what I am making, one of the recipes calls for crushed chips and almonds. I'm excited about these new recipes. It should be good to have some thing other then just pasta or just chicken. New is good!

We went out shopping and it cost us a little more then usual, but that's ok. We unpacked once we got home and just relaxed the rest of the day. We were on the hammock, we made lunch and supper together. We just had a great day together. Tyler took a nap and I should have. I should have because I just got a call from the RCMP. I get to go into work from 10 until 8 tomorrow morning. It's a little daunting because now I get to stay awake until tomorrow morning, which always makes me feel super strange. If you ever have stayed up all night, you know what I'm taking about. If not, well, try it and you will see that it really messes you up but surprisingly you can still function almost normally. Any way, I have to go in tonight, and then I go in again tomorrow from midnight to 8 monday morning. That is good news because then I don't have to go to the clinic then. It's a good deal.

The rest of the night looks like work for me. Tyler might continue to watch tv since I'm not here. I feel like this is how life will be like now. There isn't much activity in this village other then the weekend. People don't do anything other then on the weekend. It's too bad because it's almost our only full days together, and we don't get to spend the rest of the night together. At least I do enjoy this job, as much as it does suck that I have to go in at night.

Any way, Kitty has found a new sleeping spot. It's on top of Tyler's dresser on one of his sweaters. It's pretty cute. We have taken her cone off and although she still scratches, it's not at her ear wound. She slept really good last night, I think because she was de-coned.

I hope to have a good night tonight and I hope Tyler does to, and all of you reading this.

Late

Sorry for the late post. We were going to bed and I realized that nobody had posted anything today. But as you may have guessed it was a very slow and boring day at work today. Apparently most of the town is out of town so not many people needed medical attention today. Sonja got off at 3 today and came home and she played DDR. I came home at 5 and we started to make supper. We had buffalo wings. They were spicy and good. After supper we sat in the hammock for a bit. It was super hot today, at one point it hit 32. I haven't felt the temperature that hot in a very long time. It was very different hot. It wasn't the dry unbearable hot that we are used to in Alberta. But it instead didn't seem that warm until you looked at the thermometer and it told you otherwise. We decided to watch Date Night this evening. It was pretty funny. After the movie we went back to the hammock and sat for a bit. The fish were jumping and so I thought it would be a good time to go fish. I was wrong. The sun was almost down and I was using a spoon so not much light was getting reflected. The fish probably didn't even know my hook was there. I came home and sat down and then my phone rang, so it was off to work for me. It has been a slow week on call to so it was nice to get a call back. I came home at 10 and it was already very dark, but still warm. We were watching 20/20 until we decided to go to bed.

Thats it for now.

Tyler

Let me just set you up for how the blog is going to go...my day was boring. But I will try to make in as interesting as possible.

I actually got a decent sleep last night. We went to bed at 10ish last night and I didn't get woken up until 5ish by the kitty. Most people have higher standards then that on what a decent night sleep is, but to me, sleeping most of the night without a coned kitty in your face is great. But then 5 came and there she was, in all her coned glory, being a huge brat. I have less love for her at that time, so I brought her outside the room and shut the door. She only scratched for a little bit and then left us alone to get back to sleep.

We got up, showered and I made French toast. It was pretty good. I like making breakfast but I don't like how much time is takes out of the morning routine. It's better then cereal, but perhaps I will get in the habit of making breakfast the night before. Sounds like a good idea I stole from my mom.

The work day was boring. I was all caught up before 9am, which is never a good thing. I texted with Amy most of the day. I scanned what little came into me as soon as I got it. It was a pathetic way to spend a day. I actually cleaned my desk and work area. I rearranged where I keep my paper clips. It was a very boring day for me.

We got home and I DDR'ed a bit while Tyler started on dinner. He made a very tasty lasagna. We did the dishes from the day while it was cooking, then we ate. And it was very good. Lasagna is Tyler's specialty.

Tonight we plan on going for a walk since it is still pretty warm outside. Then the rest of the night is a mystery. Probably make some popcorn and watch a movie. That seems to be a growing trend in our little family.

I also want to congratulate my cousin and his fiance on the birth of their 2nd daughter. From the pictures, she is so sweet and cute.

Hope it wasn't to boring for you guys.

Bites

Well today was a different day. It was steady for most of the morning which was nice because it made lunch come a whole lot quicker. At lunch I came home and had leftovers from last night which was just as good the first time as the second time, which is saying a lot because I am not a fan of leftovers usually. After lunch I went back to work and hammered out x-rays for 11 patients. It was the busiest x-ray has been the whole time I have been here. It felt like I was working in a real hospital. For an hour and and forty-five minutes straight I did x-rays. It was then coffee time and for once it felt deserved, and not just to take a break from standing around. The rest of the day seemed to go by pretty quick. After work was done we came home and Sonja made supper. We had Mac and Cheese. We cleaned up after that and Sonja wanted to play DDR. So we played for a little bit. It made us really warm so we went and stood on the deck for a bit. The fish were jumping and I decided it was time to go fish. So I went out to the spit and Sonja came to, to keep me company. I got three bites. The water is so clear so your able to watch the fish come in and chase the hook. They looked like they were just rock cod. Tiny little fish that didn't want to commit to the hook. I had another two that followed the hook but didn't bite. When I am done on call I am going to go to the ferry terminal and fish for some salmon. Apparently thats where they are biting. No plans for tonight. We are just watching a movie, The Taking of Pelham 123.

Thats all for now.

Tyler

So, Tyler was trying to upload a video of a helicopter that landed on the spit by our house. It was very cool but it didn't work. Tyler would like to apologize for that.

Last night was a pretty horrible. I wasn't feeling great at all and went to bed at 7:30ish. I fell asleep pretty much as soon as my head hit the pillow. I had a huge headache and I was so tired. I woke up for some reason as soon as Tyler came into the room. He was super quiet so I think I was too hot or something.

And then I couldn't sleep. I basically took a nap that made me feel a little better and made me a little more rested. It felt like I was awake all night long, even though I know I wasn't. I kept rolling over, checking the time, and it was only half an hour later then the last time. It also didn't help that Kitten was being a huge brat. She would scratch at the bed, walk all over me. She gave me a message. It would have felt awesome if she wasn't using her claws.

Needless to say, the alarm rang way to early for me. I reluctantly got out of bed and showered. Tyler stayed in bed for a little while later. I ate some breakfast and waited to go to work, all trying to stay awake.

Work was alright. Right off the bat, I had to photocopy a giant chart. I worked moderately hard all day. I finished all my work before lunch and really didn't do much afterwards. I texted with Amy, which is always great. I also got to go home early, even though I just got back from a 10 day vacation.

I went to the band store to pick up a few things we were lacking in our fridge. After getting home, I played DDR and then cooked dinner. Tyler came home and helped me. We had classy chicken. It's become a staple in our house because it is so good. The last few times we made it, it has been really soupy at the bottom. It wasn't as soupy as it usually is, so that was nice.

We cleaned up a little and went outside to sit on the hammock. We watched a blue heron for a while and just relaxed.

No plans for tonight, as usual. We are just going to enjoy the night together. Today is our 4 month anniversary. I can't believe how fast it has gone, but I am so blessed to be married to such a guy. Tyler is so great to me. I love you babe.

Let's hope tonight is better then last night...

Kitty has been a little different since I've been home. I think Tyler was teaching her some bad things. She just seems different then when I left.

Son

Well today was a super slow day. I only dealt with three patients for the whole day. So therefore I don't have anything to write about tonight. We came home at five and started to make supper. We had a chicken chef salad. It was really good. Lettuce, tomato, cheese and chicken. After supper we did the dishes and I made some popcorn for some more sustenance. Sonja had a headache and wasn't feeling very good so I told her she should go lie down. That was about half an hour ago. Then we heard a loud sound outside, that sounded like a helicopter. So we went outside to see what it was. I actually was a helicopter and we stood out there and watched for a little bit. I took a video of it and will try to put it up tonight. No plans now for the rest of the night. Just watch TV and go to bed.

Tyler

Tyler just called me a dork because I made a funny joke. He was saying how the cat always sits on his computer when he was watching movies and pause it. So, I said, "She paws it?" And then he called me a dork and we laughed. It's good to be home again!

Lets start with yesterday, the day of Penny's wedding. It was a good day. It was fun. The ceremony was at Bethel Church. It was really beautiful. Nice fun music. Penny looked amazing in her dress and it was so good to see everyone smiling and laughing and having so much fun.

I also got to see my family and friends again. After the ceremony was over, we all went over to Amy and Aaron's house to eat and hang out. That was also a great time. We all sat on their kitchen floor, eating crackers and brea. Again, there was a lot of laughing. That's what I love about getting together - It's all about laughing and having a great time.

We all drove over to the hall, which was also beautifully decorated. We found our seats. Luckily I was sitting with Ranita, brother Tyler and Tabitha. Amy, Aaron, Eva and Dan sat at another table with some of our cousins. There were 2 other guys at our table and one of them looked like Maxim something from Dancing with the Stars. I can't remember his last name, but it was an almost exact replica.

It was a great wedding, everyone having fun, great food, great speeches. It's always great to see people enjoy their big day and they were. It was so great to see it all unfold so nicely.

I danced a lot. Probably 3 hours, and it was great. It was awesome to dance with Joni and Ranita.

It was a little sad because I didn't get to dance with Tyler. Also, I had to hug my parents good bye. It's never actually good bye, but its still sad. I was holding it together but then I hugged Dad and I lost it. It wasn't the best part of the night, but I just kept on dancing and was able to have a great rest of the night. The hall was cleaned up and the music was shut off. And we were all kicked out.

When we got home, Aaron and I watched a funny movie. I didn't get to bed until 2:30am. Then I had to wake up at 8 to be ready to go to the airport for my flight back to Tyler today.

And that takes us to today. I was praying that the flight didn't end up like the other one I had. I would have cried. And it went perfectly. It was pretty cloudy in Vancouver, so there were a lot of delayed flights that were trying to take off at the same time as us. It was pretty cool to see huge planes taking off.

And now I am finally home again. When I saw Tyler, I cried because I was so happy. I don't ever want to spend that much time away from Tyler again.

While I was unpacking, Tyler made us some din din. He also made some tasty dessert which was so good. He made something we loved on our honeymoon. And it was so good.

The rest of the night we just relaxed. We watched a movie called, "Kick-Ass" and it was alright. We aren't doing anything now. I'm a little tired and will probably go to bed right away.

Oh yeah, I have kind of been lying to everyone for the past 2 months. Remember when I use to cross-stitch?? Well, there is a reason I haven't been blogging about that. I have been pretending to not cross-stitch, when really, I have been making a baby quilt for Amy and Aaron's kid. I finished it and gave it to them last week when I came home. It's a pretty sweet blanket.

Any way, going to bed now. Good night!!

Sonja
