Tomorrow at this time we will be boarding our plane of our final destination of Edmonton. It has been a long time waiting. But first I'll go through today. I woke up and it was raining and not to pleasant. I went to work and spent the day by myself. Kate had gone to Klemtu to help them get organized a little bit better up there. It was a good day. It wasn't to busy but wasn't slow enough that I was completely bored out of my mind. The afternoon was much slower than the morning. But it was good because I got some of my psychics reading done, along with some other little work projects I found for myself.
I came home at 5:30 and tried to find something to eat. Since we are leaving, the house is pretty bare. After some cleaning and over last minute things before coming home. Sonja packed her clothes a d I did some laundry. Eventually I found something to eat. I had some curly fries and a hamburger a pretty decent Wednesday night meal I think.
Now we are just relaxing watching tv and waiting for the clothes to finish drying so we can finish packing.
Tomorrow we leave and it will be awesome. The weather should co-operate and we should get out out of here. We are looking forward to supper tomorrow night. We are planning on Subway. It has been to long and it is so good.
Sorry this is so late. I have been having trouble with the Internet.

Great Din Din
2 more days!!!! 2 more days and we will be home again. I wish I had something else, more exciting for you all to read about but I'm just so excited. I've been thinking about what I'm most excited about, and the list just keeps getting longer and longer. And everything thing on the list is tied for first place in what I'm mostly looking forward to. But enough about that.
I woke up this morning and ate some breakfast of rice krispies. We are almost out of milk again so I can't drink too much every day. If there is no milk for Tyler's breakfast, he gets a little upset, which I think is really funny because Tyler thinks milk is for babies and he hates the taste of it. So why I have to be so concerned about if he gets milk for breakfast only to have him pour it all down the drain, I'll never be able to figure out.
I spent the morning reading a book I borrowed from a co-worker. It's about an actresses struggle with her weight and eating disorders and stuff like that. It was an easy read, probably because it wasn't very well written, and it was kind of interesting. I started it yesterday and finished it up this afternoon. That's how I mostly spent my day.
I did shower and then after moisturizing my hands, I was then trapped in the bathroom. I couldn't open the door because my hands were so slippery. I wasn't sure how I was going to get out but then I wiped my hands off and was free.
I also played some Wii. Today it was ping pong, bowling and 18 rounds of frisbee golf. I'm getting better at each game and my arm doesn't hurt any more.
I went to the post office and mailed away a letter, now that the mail will be moving.
Once Tyler came home, dinner was made and we sat down together to enjoy our meal together. And it was the best dinner we've had in a very long time. We had chicken with roasted pepper flavored rice. I can't even describe how great it all tasted together. For the first time in a while I don't feel the need to eat something later tonight because I'm actually full from dinner.
Our evening is looking pretty ... uneventful. We had our cat-sitter over just now to explain the ins and outs of taking care of Kitty. I showed her how to take off the cone, put it back on, showed her where the litter box was and where the collect of baggies is. I showed her how to feed Kitty too.
Tyler is now preparing the salmon for it's trip to Alberta. There is an uncle who has requested some make it out to Sylvan Lake so Tyler is working hard to saw the whole frozen fish into travel friendly pieces.
Tyler is now done and we are enjoying the evening together.
2 more days!!!! And tomorrow we get to start packing and that will make tomorrow night go by faster then tonight will. Actually, it's already 8pm so it's going pretty quickly already... WHOA!!

Home stretch
I woke up this morning in the last week until our holidays. When I got our of bed it was sunny and looked like it was going to be a nice day. I went into work and the morning just kinda went by. I had an uneventful morning at work. Soon I came home and had lunch. It was nice to be home and have a sandwich and spend some time with Sonja.
I went back to work and did a few more x-rays. We had ordered a new microscope a while back and it finally came today. I spent the afternoon putting it together and getting it all set up. It took all afternoon with the interruptions that I got. But it was finally all set up and is 1000 times better than our old ones. It is a nice upgrade.
I was able to come home on time at 5 which is always nice. There is nothing worse than having a slow afternoon and having it look like you'll be home on time and then something happens and you end up staying later than hoped. So I quickly got out of there and came home and started to make supper. We were having tacos, so I started to make the beef and grate the cheese. They were really good.
After supper I had a test to write. So I did that so now I don't need to worry about it when we are home.
After that we just relaxed. We played a little bit of Mario Kart and watched Americas Got Talent.
Two more days of work and then it is Thursday.
Also happy birthday Gavin.

A few more days!
Only a few more days till we get to come home and I'm getting more and more excited. It's getting painful to have to wait this long to see family. I feel like I just cant wait any more so I'm glad there is only 4 more days till we board that plane. I just to be on that plane home. Waiting in the Vancouver airport isn't going to be fun but at least we wont be waiting here any more. But enough of that talk. It will go quick and it will be good to get a hug from family again.
We both woke up around the same and just hung out in bed. It was nice to just relax and not rush out of bed like we always do. Kitten was also just laying on her mat beside our bed as well. The whole family was together. It was a nice way to start the morning.
Once out of bed, I showered while Tyler went to the store to pick up some milk. I was so hungry for rice krispies so when Tyler came home empty handed, I was crushed. Nothing was unloaded from the food trailers so we couldn't buy anything. I ate an apple instead.
While Tyler studied, I did the dishes. There wasn't too many of them, but after half an hour of dirty water and prune hands, I was done. I did finish them and was soon able to just enjoy my Sunday. Tyler was still studying so I played some Wii. I played some ping pong and frisbee golf. My arm kind of hurts now after 2 days of movement like that. I was afraid for a little while that my arm hurt because I cross stitched for a few hours yesterday, but then I remembered that I played Wii, and that settled my mind. How silly would that have been.
Once Tyler finished his studying, we just hung out together. Tyler is getting pretty annoyed at me always saying how much I can't wait to go home. he has vowed never to tell me the date we are leaving for home again just so I don't have any specific date to look forward to.
We went for a walk to the store because I still needed milk. And then I got frustrated. When we entered the store, the shelves we still empty. It just made me so angry that they had all morning to unpack the food and it hadn't been done yet. I just couldn't believe it. Now that I think of it, it makes total sense that Bella Bella wouldn't be on top of things like that. One more reason to look forward to being back civilization. We also went to the convenience store which at one point had milk in it, but not today. It made me pretty upset that there could be no milk available in the town and that's all I wanted.

I woke up right on cue this morning, 7:40, the same time that I have been waking up all week. I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. I failed and eventually got out of bed around 8:30 and surfed the internet. I had to go into work this morning, but also had to take some stuff up to the airport, which doesn't open until 10. So I went into work at 10 to find out I didn't need to take blood from the person I was told I had to yesterday. Instead I went and packed up our send out box and got ready for the airport. I was just about ready to go when the doctor stopped me and asked me to take some blood from a different patient. So I did and then it was goodbye to my easy callback. I had problems with one of our analyzers and I had to fix it before I was able to leave. I was able to fix it, however I am sure it will only be temporary, as we have been having trouble with it for a few days.
I finished up and went to the airport before coming home. When I got home I made some lunch for myself. I had a delicious cheeseburger and smokies. It was just what I needed. The rest of the morning was spent studying. Sonja played some Wii while I studied.
When I finished up for the day we took a nap for a half hour. When we woke up it was off to the store for a few groceries, to last us until Wednesday. When we came back from the store we tidied up a bit in preparation for our trip.
We warmed up our leftovers from last night and I had that for supper and Sonja had some honeydew. After that we watched a movie. It was a nice way to end the night.

Phase 10 win
What a great Friday I had!
It started with a good amount of sleeping in. Not too much so my day wasn't totally wasted but enough to make me feel rested.
I had 2 bowls of rice krispies for breakfast and fell in love with them all over again. I forgot how delicious those little things were. After breakfast I went for a nice walk. I went around town and then came home a little while later.
Once home, I ate some lunch and waited for Tyler to come home for his lunch break. We sat at the table and talked for lunch and then he was off to work again. I then went out to hang out with our friend Jan. She said she was at the school park, so I went to the park to find no one there. I texted her and asked her where she was. She was at the Band Store now and forgot to tell me. I met her at the Store and she was with a whole bunch of little girls. We went and watched some guys cast off the wharf. Kendra's dad was also out there so we all stood around and talked.
After a while, it was decided that a little boat ride was in order. They convinced me that it was only going to be a short ride to Old Towns for some trolling.
So I hopped onto the boat and we all went out for a "short" boat ride. In the end, we didn't get back to shore until 4 hours later. I really enjoy going out on the boat and seeing new sights, but when they tell me it's only going to be a short little trip and it ends up taking 4 hours, I don't like that. I got cold because I wasn't dressed properly and I was hungry because I didn't expect to be out for that long. I'm not complaining but I don't know if I'll go out again. We also always go when he weather is cold and dreary which makes sitting out on a boat for hours and hours almost miserable. But it was still fun. Just unexpectedly long :)
Once we did get back, Tyler came down to the wharf to see the fish that were caught. Of course the biggest one we had on the line managed to get away right as it approached the boat. Tyler walked me home and informed me that dinner was in the oven. Classy chicken once again! There wasn't much broccoli in it and I found it a little more salty then I like, but it was still oh so good, as usual. I ended up burning the rice though because I was watching the NHL draft. It happened to be the Oilers 2nd pick and I lost track of time. I managed to save most of it though. I think the trick is to not mix in the burnt and the not burnt.
Tyler got called into work just once this evening. Once he was back, we went up to Kendra's place and played a really strange marble game they play. I didn't like it at all but they've been playing it forever so they taught it to us and we played a few games. Then we played Phase 10. I love that game. And I happen to win this time.
We finally got home again and now it's getting really late. I'm pretty tired and I imagine Tyler is too. It's off to bed as soon as he's finished watching all his highlights from the NHL draft.
I'm looking forward to this weekend. It will be good to spend time with Tyler again. Not that we don't spend time together, but weekends are just the best. He doesn't have to get up early, we can enjoy breakfast together, we enjoy the whole day together and I'm not waiting for him to get home for lunch. I love weekends.
I don't have to mention how much I'm looking forward to Thursday.

T-1 week
Last night I was so tired. I hadn't been sleeping very good the last couple nights. It was good to sleep. I woke up once all night, as compared to the ten times or more a night the last couple nights. However I was still tired when I woke up.
I went to work and it was moderately busy. It has been busy the last couple days. Busy enough that I didn't get home until after 6 last night. The morning seemed to whiz by and shortly it was lunch. I came home and had a sandwich with Sonja. It was starting to clear up at lunch. While we were eating we were able to watch a helicopter land on the breakwater.
After lunch I went to work and was able to do some homework which was handy. I just about finished my assignment and should be able to finish it tomorrow and I plan on writing my test on Sunday, and Monday if I get to busy with work. After coffee in the afternoon I ended up being busy until I came home just after 5.
We had been invited over to Kendra's for supper. Her mom made supper. It was good. Pork tenderloin, baby potatoes, salad and tomatoes. After supper it was awards night at the school, so we went up and took that in. Jan and Carl's kids both got awards.
After that was over we came home and had popcorn and played with the cat for a little bit. We watched the end of Wipeout and a new show called Expedition Impossible, which is pretty much Amazing Race but only one country.
Tomorrow is Friday and the end of the week. It is also Draft Day. We will see what the Oilers reward will be for being such a terrible team this last year. Also Ryan Smyth may be an Oiler again at the end of the weekend, which is awesome.
