Well... where do I start?!?

Well first off, I thought I would finally post a pic of my beautiful little baby cousin Mara! She's soooo cute!



So there you go! As I get more pics I will post more :D

Life has been treating me pretty well. I'm all done my on the job training and I'm working for a living now! I've heard I'm pretty well liked so far *knock on wood* so YAY! I was invited to go out for Day 7 Beers (every day 7 people on a crew go out).. but I got switched half way through my block of 7 days to graveyard shift.. so I didn't go. It's nice to be invited though! Sara and her crew went out that evening and she texted me and asked me to come.. but I was already sound asleep :D

I'm enjoying my job. I don't have too much interaction with the inmates so it's not too bad. Plus I'm not the newest anymore! Hehehe.. we had 5 people from the latest grads come to Kent so they're the newbies! ;)
It's not that easy getting used to the 7 days on though... but I'm sure it will be a lot easier when I'm not switching shifts in the middle of those 7 days. It was sure tough last week working 6:45am-3:00pm then having to come back at 10:30pm-7:00am! I was lucky though because my buddy that I gradded with was also on graveyards so I carpooled with him and another guy. It was nice to not have to drive!

Ry and I hadn't gotten a chance to see each other much but we spent the night hanging out on Friday and then Saturday when he got off work we had BBQ then went to see Pirates... FINALLY! It was SOOOOOOOO good! I laughed a lot and I can't WAIT for the next one! I'm not too happy with one bit that happened at the end.. but we'll see what happens I suppose. It was kind of annoying because we were told there was an extra scene so we waited through ALL the credits.. which took FOREVER.. and it was a brief 5 second clip! But whatever, it was nice a cool, and just a nice time for Ry and I to be together. The theatre was packed still, but we got some really awesome seats and enjoyed just spending time together :)

What else... we went to Ry's nieces 2nd Birthday..it was fun. She is just the cutest! I WANT BABIES!!!! But not for a while.. hehehe..
I think Ry and I might got somewhere nice and hot next year.. like Thailand! I'll try and bank my vacation from this year.. go to Toronto to Kelly and Allison's wedding, then later in the year... THAILAND! Or somewhere.. I want beaches and heat :D

This weekend was our wind up ball tournament.. it was good! We lost our first game, so yesterday we played at 9:20, 10:50, 12:30, and 2:40!!!! It was nuts! We lost our last game (the final) by one run in our second extra inning! It kind of sucked.. but it was soooooooooo HOT! All I wanted to do was get home and have a shower! We won cool backpacks, and we also won those fold out double chairs with the table in the middle for winning our division! WOOOHOOOO! It was a lot of fun and I'm glad that I ended up on this team!

My family is good.. hoping to get a chance to go up to Kamloops for a day or two in August or September. We'll see how it works out... I'll let you know just in case I can meet up with anyone for coffee or something!

I know I probably have more to say, but I think that will have to do for now! Because this is pretty much my last day off and I have a stinkin lot of stuff to do like vacuuming, dusting.. all that good stuff :D
