how things change...

wow, i have not written on here in ages... and reading back on my old posts, things sure have changed. so much has happened over the past year, and it has been wonderful. i am so very blessed, words can not describe. i am married now, teaching a bit further away from home than i would prefer... and my mom too, but i love the school i am at, the staff, the students, the church i go to, and especially my husband. he is so wonderful. being married is wonderful, we're both a little bit busy right now, me getting school going and brent with silaging, and now combining. excited that it is the weekend, lots to plan and prepare, but that comes with the job. now i am trying to patiently wait for my wedding pictures to come in, but i can't wait, here's one, and i LOVE it.

workin' 9 to 5

as of june 30th this month i am officially unemployed... again. now, since our lives unfortunately depend upon aquiring money, i should be panicked that i do not have a job, but oddly enough, i am quite relaxed. worrying will not help, it will not make someone double check my resume or suddenly cause a physed teacher in the edmonton area to quit. no, there is no point. i am feeling quite indifferent (copywrite, s. williams may 07). something will come up, or i will sub somewhere. i am trying to keep my options open, because who knows what will happen- right? well, if any of you know of a teaching job opening up, pass my name on, cause apparenly, i need a job.

life as a carnivore

well today for the first time in my life, by myself, i made krokets- yummm! during this process i realized how someone may become a vegan. to make these krokets i decided to use one of those pre-cooked rotisserie chickens. anyway as i was pulling the soft, moist meat off of the brittle carcass i had an overwhelming sense of my carnivorism. poor little chicken, killed here for me to eat, her life over so i can eat some delicious deep fried kroket goodness, you're right- SO worth it. aww, i am joking. anyway, all i am saying is that as i was covered in meat as i butchered this chicken with my hands, i tried to appreciate it's life.
thank you chicken, thank you.

inside jokes

don't you just love how great inside jokes are? i mean, for the people who are in on them, they are so out of control and hilarious. then again, being on the outside of an inside joke, is no fun at all. it seems like gibberish, like those stupid viagra commercials, and if the 'in' group tries to explain it to you it sounds, well, stupid. i have a ton of inside jokes going on right now, which is why these pictures won't mean too much to too many of you, but for those few of you who know exactly what these pictures mean, laugh it up. those of you who want me to explain i will, but don't blame me if you think it sounds, well, stupid.

mad hatters

fun we had indeed. grande prairie is a way happenin' place compared to high prairie (not to say we can't have fun here), but it was a welcomed change. we went to a 'liquid lounge' called the mad hatters, after a friend recommended it, and it was great. it is a great bar in general- no smoking (a relief from smelling like a chimney if you go anywhere in high prairie), good tunes, i hear the food is good, although i can't tell you first hand, great atmosphere, an elevated dance floor, and for you ladies out there, up north is just FULL of guys. so next time you need to spend a night in gp, hit up mad hatters, you won't be disappointed.

off to gp

well it is not really far, or that exciting, but it is different, so it helps take the monotony out of a weekend. friday after school, me and some friends are heading over to grande prairie to party it up for the night, and do some shopping on saturday.. sure those of you in edmonton right now are like 'you are chosing grande prairie', but hey, it is something different than high prairie and it is a lot bigger, so i am sure we will have a great ole' time. it also helps to make the weekend feel longer, and not just like you sat at home all day and watched tv or slept (not that i really do either of those things), but anyways. i am rambling now. road trips are fun, and i am sure we'll have many great stories to tell.. anyone have any gooders to share?

here comes the sun...?

i am not sure about anyone else, but i am about ready for some sun.. blue skies, sun shining warm on my face, cool green grass between my toes, soft wind through my hair, sounds of birds singing sweetly in the distance.. i could go on. either way, i am tired of this snow that doesnt seem to want to stop, and the mess everywhere.. it is all too.. brown. i am ready for some color.. blue.. green.. yellow, and the only brown i want to see is maybe some color on this pasty, wintery skin of mine haha. i can't believe that it is almost may, this year has flown by, but it doesn't help that it doesn't SEEM like may, cause well, it is +2 right now... i am ready for.. for lack of a better expression... a ray of hope. and i hope that ray comes in the form of a ray of sunlight and +20 :)
