Jumbled

So I have been neglecting my blog...again.

Nothing much going on in life, just working, hanging out with the niece and nephews and studying for the GRE, which is not going very well. I am also going to be taking it a lot sooner then I though I was going to be taking it but oh well.

My nephews and niece are great! I love hanging with them. We went swimming and J, was showing off how well he could swim and B actually put his face in the water. N, clung to her mom most of the time but that was okay. She got brave towards the end.

Work is still there. My bosses are great and very relaxed. I wore the wrong dressy shoes and butchered my feet, so for 3 days I would walk to work and then talk off my sandals till I needed to go help someone or until the end of the day it was great. My feet healed really fast.

I love my Kindle, though I now have to figure out how to budget impulse book buying into my budget, didn't take into account how Easy it would to just by a book and not think about the amount...

But thats okay, its a good problem to have.

I have decided I need to change how much the world influences me in every aspect of my life so I am making some changes. I will blog more about that separately in a day or so.

Vancouver

So here are the promised pictures (and they are not 2 months late). I am going to experiment with photoshop and maybe add some more but that are not all just one after another. Park that I played at as a child by my Grandma's house.

Cute pond within the park.

Kitsalano Beach (pretty sure I misspelled that but I don't want to look it up right now).

Family picture...all happy of course to be there...cough cough. I should be nice and say it was great being back together but its my blog so I can be honest and say it was really really (in place of another word I wanted to use) akward.

Beautiful Sunset, my grandma would have loved it.

So there are a few pictures for now. Will post more later when I have time. Pretty busy lately, I am trying to come up with an extra job to save money for this fall semester. I am in the process of making business cards for babysitting and dogsitting so I can hand them out. Don't have much of a life so why not watch children/dogs. I like both so its a good idea I think. Hopefully it works out.

Also planning something for when I graduate to celebrate, keeping it quiet right now because I want it to pan out and not jinx myself.

Quick Update

So, back at work now, after two weeks away.

My friends wedding went really well. I hated the bridesmaids dresses but it was her day. The groom looked excited to see her walk down the aisle. Nikky's nephews were adorable. So was her tiny niece. My feet were killing me after wearing heels for 4 hours something I rarely do. After the wedding I hung out with her family (her Aunt Denise invited me, she is who we stayed with while in Michigan, she is amazing). That was incredibly fun, hung out with Ian who turned 3 and talked with Aunt Denise. Then I went home at like 1am, then went to my 2nd job at 9am. Fun times. But I survived. Then I got on a flight to Seattle early the morning afterwards.

Okay, Flying sucked! I didn't like the flights to B.C. Sam didn't think here was anything wrong but there was too much bumpyness for me. The first week was okay, very stressful but dealing with my mom always is. E. was great :) Couldn't have made it through the week without him. We scattered my grandma's ashes on Thursday May 27, that was an interesting evening. Mom put on the act of her life and then preceded to drop my grandma into the ocean, container and all. Tigh was able to get her out and then we spread the rest of her remains in the pacific ocean by Kits. Beach. I just did my own little thing, telling grandma good-bye and I'm glad I did.

The second week I mostly hung out with friends. Learned that some friends have changed a lot and others haven't which was nice. Hung out with my bestie 3 times which was amazing, and my other bestie once, hopefully I get to hang out with them more when I road-trip it up next summer.

I did go see two movies, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Robin Hood, I would see them again because both were very good.

Now I'm back to 'real' life, working six hours a day and hopefully get to hang out with my nephews and niece a lot this summer.

Sam is back at work and doing good. Not much to report on him. He did enjoy his short trip but he also got his eye's opened to a lot of things that he needs to think about.

That's a very quick update, sorry no pictures this time.
