Well, today has been a day Tyler and I have been looking forward to for a while now. He was supposed to write his last final exam tonight at 6:30 pm and be done with the course and be free of studying until he starts his last course in January. He went in at 6:15 pm to get himself ready and soon I was getting text messages saying that the test wasn't popping up in the place it's supposed to (I don't know what it's called but it's on his online course thing). He said that he doesn't have his teachers phone number and therefore couldn't even call her. He started emailing everyone he could think of and came home, understandably frustrated. And then it was a waiting game. He had to wait for an email or phone call from one of the many people he emailed, mainly NAIT tech support. After about half an hour of constantly refreshing the computer and playing with Kitten to blow off some steam, he finally got an email in his inbox. He headed into work to find out that he was able to now write his test. So, that is where he is now and I decided to give him a hand and write his night's blog.
We played a few rounds of yahtzee last night and Tyler got the highest score we have ever seen in one of the rounds. Usually, we average around 200ish but last night he got over 450. He got 2 yahtzees and the top bonus and really good on pretty much every thing else. I had no hope. And then we headed off to bed pretty early. Tyler was super tired so we went to bed at 9, both convinced we would be able to get to sleep right away. It didn't work out that way for me though and therefore Tyler didn't get to stay asleep until after 11. Baby J was pressing and squeezing my bladder and I went to the bathroom two times in about an hour. I also had The Itsy Bitsy Spider stuck in my head and I couldn't remember the second line so I was replaying it over and over again in my head. I just couldn't get to sleep.
I woke up this morning before Tyler went to work and enjoyed breakfast with him. I wish I could stay asleep longer because those days are quickly coming to an end and I need to enjoy it. But, I got up and had some granola again. Tyler went to work and I enjoyed a morning relaxing, playing on the computer, doing the dishes and I ended the morning with a walk around town. While I was out, my stomach started to cramp up and hurt a little so I slowed down and came right home. It went away right away so nothing to be concerned about.
Tyler came home and left again for work. My afternoon was spent cross stitching, playing with a coneless Kitten, trying to get Baby J out of my ribs and a few other little things. It wasn't too eventful but I enjoyed it. I also started to make dinner which was mac and cheese with a special request from Tyler, extra cheese.
Tyler was home right on time and we ate dinner together. He was able to relax before he thought he was going to write his test. He left for his test and I continued cross stitching.
And now I'm sitting here by myself while Tyler is writing his test. He should be almost done though and I know he will do so good on it. It's just too bad he had to go through a bit of a stressful frustrating experience before he actually wrote it. The good thing about Tyler is that he is such a relaxed guy that even though it was annoying, I'm sure it didn't phase him at all.
As stated before, Baby J likes to live up in my ribs and I'm not sure what body part is up there. It's round and hard so it's one of two ends. It's so much fun to feel and see this child move. I love it!

December 14th, 2011
It feels good to know that in one week, Tyler, Kitten and I will be driving down Vancouver Island on our way home for Christmas. That's assuming the ferry does come in that morning and our car doesn't break down due to lack of gas. But we are hopeful we will make it and so looking forward to the trip. Our short stop over in Port Hardy will be exciting as we are going to Subway for lunch, which is a place that calls Tyler's name, and then we are heading to the grocery store to get some food for the road. I have every intention on eating healthy along the way, plus I plan on bringing cut up carrots. I don't want to eat a ton of junk food because I'm sure my stomach can't handle it. Since junk food is so expensive out here, we hardly buy it so we've been mostly eating healthy since moving out here... I don't want to be trapped in a car as I find out how my stomach deals with junk.
Today has been a good day. I was able to sleep in but I think I tossed and turned for about an hour and a half before Tyler got out of bed, meaning he didn't have as great of a morning. I got out of bed to find the weather gloomy and rainy. Days like this make me want to head right on back to bed. It's like the clouds suck up all motivation I might have had to get things done through out the day. Kitten soon joined me and to my surprise, she had a note taped to her cone. She jumped up on the couch and I took the note off. It was a note from her saying, "Hi Mom. Please leave my cone on so my wounds can heal for Christmas". I guess she wants to look good for family Christmas pictures in front of the tree. I can't blame her for that.
I ate my breakfast while playing on the computer and watching a bit of tv. Since I slept in, it wasn't long before I had to think about making Tyler's lunch and doing the dishes. I did my chores and Tyler came home for lunch. It's super awesome to spend time together at lunch. It's going to be strange when we don't live 30 seconds away from Tyler's work and we can't spend that extra time together.
I went to the store after Tyler headed back to work. I still haven't gotten all the grocery list items yet and I knew that today wasn't going to bring much success. We still needed chicken, tortilla shells and carpet cleaner. I figured that if they didn't have those items unpacked by yesterday, then they probably wont be on the shelves this week. I wasn't able to find real chicken but I bought some chicken fillets that will do the trick I need it to. I also bought Mandarin oranges because they are always so so good.
After coming home, I worked on my cross stitch pretty much all afternoon. It's getting close to being done but I'm still concerned I'll run out of thread. We will see. I guess if I can't complete it, we will be home soon enough that I can just go buy some more thread. It will be strange to have that luxury again - the ability to buy anything we could possibly need without having to order it online or go without.
Our plans for this evening are as follows - Tyler will be studying as his last final exam is tomorrow. He will be studying until about 9pm or as late as his brain will function. I probably will play with Kitten and cross stitch. Maybe I'll do the dishes tonight so that tomorrow I can have the treat of not doing them.
Baby J has been squirming a lot today. I've been paying attention to the times that he does move and I'm hoping that will give me some idea as to when he might be awake after he is born. I'm thinking it wont help at all because with him out in the world, he wont have the constant food supply he has now and there is the small problem of changing the diaper I will have to deal with.... but I'm trying to learn what this baby might be teaching.

One week. One more week of work until I am on holidays. The time can't go fast enough. I have one more exam on Thursday, then I can relax. But only relax from studying. Then the real work begins. We have to clean the house before we leave and I have to get my tetris master on and pack the car for our trip. Also the oil needs to be check and tire pressure and all that pre-trip stuff. Oh and the car need to be seen if it will even start.
Today was an all right day. I was woken up at six with my work phone letting me know that it needed to be charged. So I had to get up to charge it to make it stop alerting me. I went back to bed, but didn't get back to sleep as well as I was before being woke.
I went into work same as any other day. It's getting tougher and tougher to do it, knowing there is only a week left before being off. But I'll power through and it will be that much better. The day was kind of busy and I wasn't able to get as much studying done as I wanted. I did get a good chunk done today, but there is still more needing to be done. Two more days of it.
I came home on time today and found that Sonja was just starting supper. We were having tacos tonight. They were good, but they only had hard shell tacos, which are kind of a pain to eat. You can only put so much in them. I was always having to fill a new shell. It is just a tedious process, but the meal was still good and filling.
After supper I started to study some more. I got through almost all that I wanted to. I will go over all my stuff again a couple more times tomorrow and will hopefully be ready for my exam on Thursday. I am so ready for it to come. After I hit the 8 o'clock deadline that I set for myself we watched our episode of Dexter from Sunday. We were supposed to watch it last night, but somehow I downloaded the wrong episode and it was one we already had seen. So I got the right episode this time. It was good, but they still have a little ways to go to wrap up the season in the next episode.
Now were are just relaxing with Planet Earth on and I am ready to go to bed. My eyes were dropping earlier.

Monday, Dec. 12th, 2011
Today, I've been thinking about all the things I'm looking forward to about being home. Of course there is the typical "seeing family and friends" which I almost always mention because I am looking so forward to being able to be around my family and friends. But there are the smaller things that we've been missing out on for the last almost 2 years, and that's what I've been thinking about today. The very first and most important thing is our mattress. It is probably the world's most comfortable mattress and the one thing we have really missed. I'm looking forward to climbing onto that mattress the first night we are back, after 2 solid days of traveling and getting to, once again, enjoy a night of sleep on that beloved thing. The best part about it is that we will be rolling into the Jarrett's driveway some time in the evening of the 22nd, and apart from catching up with family and semi unpacking, our mattress will be one of the first things that we get to enjoy. And I'm so looking forward to that.
Today, I've also been thinking about all the things we need to pack for our trip home. I made out some lists and things we need to accomplish before we take off mostly because I love making lists but also to get some organization into my head. I have so many thoughts like, "Oh, we can't forget that," and, "Have to remember to clean that," that it's hard to keep track of them all unless I put them in a list. I just hope that we don't forget anything too important, but I don't think there is anything like that on the list so far so we should be safe. And I live by something my parents taught me growing up - if you forget something, you can always buy it when you get there. This saying usually applied to when we would be going camping in the summer but it very much applies to this trip too. I'm sure we can't possibly think of all the things we will be needing for those 10 weeks especially with Baby J coming so I'm trying not to stress about the list.
On to today's events. It was a pretty great day. I didn't even hear the alarm go off and suddenly Tyler wasn't in the bed with me any more. Or perhaps Tyler got out of bed before the alarm went off. I'll have to ask him. Either way, I was able to stay asleep and was only awoken when Tyler came to kiss me goodbye. I stayed in bed a little longer, with Kitten purring away on my legs, playing sudoku.
Once out of bed, I warmed up Tyler's leftover milk and gave it to TK who was waiting eagerly for it. Tyler is pretty upset that I've gotten attached to that little kitty because he told me not to but I can't help it. She is way to cute and even though I know she isn't helpless, I feel like taking care of her. Plus, Tyler's milk always just goes down the drain any way so what's the harm in giving it to TK?
I did the dishes and kind of cleaned up the kitchen a bit. It wasn't a busy morning for me. I have found a way to make my granola even more filling though so that's nice. I always heat up some peanut butter, which is used as a binding agent, and then I put some granola in and mix it all around. I then add just a few chocolate chips for some tasty flavor and put it in the fridge. For the last few days, I've also been adding whole/halved peanuts to the mix and I find that it keeps me full longer. It's a really great way to start my day off.
I made a sandwich for Tyler and cut up a few carrots for myself and waited for him to come home from work for lunch. He did and we enjoyed some time together. Since he has been sick and having to blow his nose every 5 minutes this weekend, he wasn't sure he would be staying at work all day today. He doesn't want to get everyone else sick. But he told me that his nose has some what dried up and isn't being high maintenance any more, which means he must be getting better. I'm really glad that I didn't get as sick as he did. It probably helps that I can sleep all I want and I don't have to spend what's left of my brain power in the evening studying for 2 courses. He's been a real trooper and I'm so proud of him. He's actually out writing a test right now, a midterm on the lower body. I'm sure he will be home soon as he usually doesn't take too long on these tests. And I'm sure he will ace it. He's pretty darn smart.
My afternoon was filled with a trip to the store, cross stitching and a movie. They still don't have any boxes of chicken at the store so I'll have to change a few of my menu items or just have those meals later in the week. I also worked out a bit and I got to watch the snow fall. I love snow, another thing I'm looking forward to. Of course it didn't stick around and now it's raining pretty hard outside, but at least this afternoon when it really mattered, I got to watch it snow.
Our plans for tonight kind of revolves around TV and on most nights I hate admitting that, but we have an episode of Dexter to watch and one of Tyler's favorite shows is coming back on the air tonight. Fear Factor will be on in about half an hour from now and Tyler has been looking forward to watching it for weeks now. I've heard stories of him and his best friend and how they use to do Fear Factor like stunts with each other. I think that just means they would jump off really tall buildings but it's fun to hear those stories.
Tyler is currently out writing his test and there is a hard baby part up in my ribs. I'm not sure what part it is but it's for sure either a head or a butt. At my last appointment the Dr. said Baby J was head down already so I don't know if he would have turned over or not, but whatever part it is, it's hard and it makes breathing more of a chore then it has been before. But I love this kid already so I'll let it slide.

T-10
Ten days from now we will have enjoyed a great lunch at subway and a long drive down the island and another ferry across to Vancouver. I can't wait.
I was awakened by the cat running around like an idiot. Scratching on everything in sight and being just generally annoying. I wanted to sleep in longer than 8:30 but it wasn't in the cards for today. So since I needed to study I got up and told Sonja to go back to sleep. I got her bowl and fed her some of her food and took her cone off. She ate until she was full and then tried to take off. I had to chase her and put her cone back on because I needed to study and didn't have time today to chase her around.
Once she was back settled down again, I got into studying. I was doing a final today so it was last minute studying and studying for my next test on Thursday. I studied for a bit and when I was done we went to the store to see if they had the last few things unloaded yet. They didn't so it was up one aisle and down the next and back out the door. We came back home and I studied for my next test. Just before 2 I had a shower and then went over to the hospital to write my test. I got all logged on and ready to write my test and the password won't work. So Kate called my instructor to try to find out what was going on. She was playing soccer and would be unavailable for the next 2 hours. So I came back home and had to wait some more. It was not an ideal situation, as I was ready to have my test done earlier so I could relax for the rest of the weekend earlier. So I came home and took out the garbage and tried to relax on the couch. We also went back to the store some point before I wrote my test. We got some buns and chocolate milk and came home.
We watched the the Jim Carey version of the Grinch, while I waited to get word that the password was going to work. So I went back to the hospital and tried writing my test again. This time the password worked and I was actually able to write it. It didn't take me too long to do and came back home. I feel like I did pretty good on it. But I'll see in a couple days if that feeling is right.
I came home and the Grinch was still on, but just finishing up. Sonja stuck a couple of chicken burgers in the oven and I got ready for supper. It was nice to be home and have the evening to ourselves and not needing to worry about studying some more, until tomorrow when the cycle starts all over again.
Sonja is saying that she is tired so we will probably go to bed shortly, even though we have Dexter on the download and could watch it tonight. We'll see what happens.

Saturday December 10, 2011
Another Saturday done and in the books. It was a really good day for me but I'm not sure Tyler would agree with me.
His day started at 3:30 this morning when his work phone started ringing. Luckily he had just went to the bathroom and wasn't quite asleep yet. He headed into work and I fell back asleep. When he did come back, I was in the bathroom. My bladder is losing a battle for space at the moment so I tend to spend more and more time in that room. So, Tyler came back home and since I was awake, he said to my belly, "You better stay in there at least until we are on our way home!" It turns out that yet another pregnant woman was thought to be going into labor and it may have freaked Tyler out just a bit. We said good night and were ready to get back to sleep when the phone started ringing again. It was the hospital again saying that there was some blood work to do and that they forgot to tell Tyler about it when he was there 5 minutes earlier. So Tyler headed back into work for another half an hour.
Tyler was able to sleep until 7:30am when his phone started ringing again. He went into work while I continued to sleep. He came home at some point but I didn't hear him. I was out of it until 11. Even though I was not the one going into work I was still super exhausted - must be all this baby growing but don't feel sorry of for me. Tyler is the one who should be sleeping that late because he works so hard at work and then studying and to top it all off he is getting sick. But he didn't come back to bed when he got home. He went right to studying and stayed that way most of the day.
Once I did get out of bed, I fed TK some warm milk and then played with my own Kitty. I ate some breakfast and played on the computer for a bit before doing some chores. I did the dishes and folded the laundry. It really didn't take long so soon I was on the couch making the weekly menu. That has turned into my least favorite thing to do on Saturday. I just have no inspiration because I want to cook new meals but we only have so many recipe books out here and it's all getting so repetitive. But I managed to come up with 7 meals and then I just had to wait for Tyler to finish up what he was doing to head out to the store.
Now, the weather up until this point was kind of awesome, meaning it wasn't raining and although the sun wasn't shining brightly, it wasn't gloomy outside. I thought it was the perfect time to go to the store. But I had to wait for Tyler to be done what he was reading. By the time he was done reading, it was pouring outside. So we headed out to the store in the rain and got there soaking wet. We did manage to get most of the food items on our list so that was great. Our walk home was much dryer.
Tyler got called to work once we got home so I unloaded the groceries and I think started cross stitching. When Tyler came back home I did a bit of a work out and then showered. It was awesome. After the shower, I continued on my cross stitch. Tyler was finally done studying for his test so we were able to spend the whole afternoon relaxing and just being together. As stated before, Tyler has been under the weather so it was nice for him to do nothing all afternoon.
Tomorrow he writes his test and then he gets some sort of relief. He still does have one more final to study for and write but it seems to be some what easier of a test to study for. It's not so much reading boring books and making notes. This next test is all about memorizing images and he's already done really well on that so I feel like there isn't as much stress surrounding it. I could be wrong as it's not me who is writing it.
I'm exhausted and looking forward to heading to bed, which might be earlier then what is normal on a Saturday.

So Tyler headed back into work for another half an hour.
Tyler was able to sleep until 7:30am when his phone started ringing again. He went into work while I continued to sleep. He came home at some point but I didn't hear him. I was out of it until 11. Even though I was not the one going into work I was still super exhausted - must be all this baby growing but don't feel sorry of for me. Tyler is the one who should be sleeping that late because he works so hard at work and then studying and to top it all off he is getting sick. But he didn't come back to bed when he got home. He went right to studying and stayed that way most of the day.
Once I did get out of bed, I fed TK some warm milk and then played with my own Kitty. I ate some breakfast and played on the computer for a bit before doing some chores. I did the dishes and folded the laundry. It really didn't take long so soon I was on the couch making the weekly menu. That has turned into my least favorite thing to do on Saturday. I just have no inspiration because I want to cook new meals but we only have so many recipe books out here and it's all getting so repetitive. But I managed to come up with 7 meals and then I just had to wait for Tyler to finish up what he was doing to head out to the store.
Now, the weather up until this point was kind of awesome, meaning it wasn't raining and although the sun wasn't shining brightly, it wasn't gloomy outside. I thought it was the perfect time to go to the store. But I had to wait for Tyler to be done what he was reading. By the time he was done reading, it was pouring outside. So we headed out to the store in the rain and got there soaking wet. We did manage to get most of the food items on our list so that was great. Our walk home was much dryer.
Tyler got called to work once we got home so I unloaded the groceries and I think started cross stitching. When Tyler came back home I did a bit of a work out and then showered. It was awesome. After the shower, I continued on my cross stitch. Tyler was finally done studying for his test so we were able to spend the whole afternoon relaxing and just being together. As stated before, Tyler has been under the weather so it was nice for him to do nothing all afternoon.
Tomorrow he writes his test and then he gets some sort of relief. He still does have one more final to study for and write but it seems to be some what easier of a test to study for. It's not so much reading boring books and making notes. This next test is all about memorizing images and he's already done really well on that so I feel like there isn't as much stress surrounding it. I could be wrong as it's not me who is writing it.
I'm exhausted and looking forward to heading to bed, which might be earlier then what is normal on a Saturday.

Weekend
Well the weekend is here once again. I have to study tomorrow and half of Sunday. I have my final to write at 2 on Sunday. Hopefully it isn't too long of a weekend out of boredom for Sonja and hopefully I don't get to tired from studying. It has been a long haul so far this week. Lots of studying every day. There is light at the end of the tunnel now as my next final is less than a week away as well.
Today I didn't do to much studying at work. We had to do transportation of dangerous goods training via a teleconference today. It was a long and boring day listening to a voice coming from the speakers. It was tough to stay awake as its tiring studying forever everyday as well as having a cold coming on stronger everyday. That ran until 3:20 and then it was back to regular work. It was still dead as everyone thought we were closed for the whole day. Also since the training course ran through lunch I was able to leave early. I came home early at 4:30 and surprised Sonja.
When I got home Sonja and I made supper together. It was an easy meal as Sonja wasn't to motivated and didn't know what to make. It was good and super filling. I made way to much pasta, and was the one who ended up having to finish it.
After supper I came into the living room and finished doing some studying and writing notes. It wasn't too much to do and I was done for the day by 6:30, just in time for the Oilers game on TSN. It was a good game and they finally managed to get a win. It was nice to see after the terrible game they played on Wednesday. We have also been able to watch the last three games and will be able to watch again tomorrow. It must be a record for us since we have been living out here.
Now the night is winding down and I will try for a good night sleep so I won't be exhausted again tomorrow.
