I love Autumn and I LOVE days off!

So let us see... I think I will try and throw together a real live post! Here goes!!!
I just got through working 7 graveyards. Wow, that was the funnest thing I have EVER done! And when I say funnest, think, fun as in poking out my own eyes with a plastic spoon fun! Meh, what can I say... it's a job, it's closer to what I want to be doing for the rest of my life, and it's allowed me to start a real savings plan for the future... so that makes me happy :)
I still really want to get into policing, but there are SO many things to consider now. Do I really want to take 6 months out of living and go through more training? Sure... but where? And how will that affect my relationship with Rylan? I'm sure we would make it work, but what if we have kids? If I have kids I can't imagine leaving them behind... so no matter what, I know that if I am going to change my career I most definately have to do it in the next year or so. Oh well... I still have time! No kids yet, just my furry ones and Ry ;)
Speaking of Ry, things are going amazingly! We went ring shopping the other day!!! *beams* I am sooooooo happy! It's not going to happen tomorrow or anything... but maybe the end of the year, beginning of next... really it COULD be tomorrow and I would be surprised. Either way, whenever it does happen I will be super surprised, super happy, and of course, super in love :D
We went to Spence Diamonds and the woman who helped us was awesome. Ry actually picked out the ring that I fell in love with! *cheers for Ry* I'm not sure how much, and I don't know if he bought it then (he says he didn't.. b/c that would be kind of weird), or when he's going to buy it.... but it's picked... I almost cried in the bathroom I was so overwhelmed! LOL! I'm silly, but I'm sure that's not too shocking since I actually am quite the cry baby when it comes to stuff like that :)
I can't wait to call everyone and tell them about my wonderful news when it happens!
So far no plans or anything. It won't be for a couple of years, just for all you curious folk ;) Probably late 2008, 2009 or something. I dunno.. we'll work that all out after! We have TONS of time :) Just thought I would share that news with you all!
Got to see my friend Chrissy yesterday. I haven't seen her in FOREVER! We kept trying to meet up and our schedules didn't match.. it was crazy! We finally got together for lunch and hung out at her new place for a bit. It was so nice to see her! Now I have a few more people to meet up with that I haven't seen in ages... can't wait for that! It's so hard working shift work and trying to meet up with people. When they think we can hook up, my schedule changes, and we have to try and find a NEW time to meet! Bah! Oh well!! I am going for coffee with Liane today which will be great! I don't think I've seen her since the beginning of the year! Time sure has been flying by! Another aspect of 7 day work weeks.. by the time you've worked 2 boards it's almost the end of the month!
OH! We're going to get a puppy :) In May next year the LG rep's hoping to have more pups (since she has a boy and a girl she breeds) so we've reserved one! We could probably find one sooner, but we know her dogs and we LOVE them! They a really cute, super friendly, and have GREAT personalities... we're hoping for a black boy who will be named... Buster! :D
Let's see.. what else.. treated myself to a facial the other day.... it was great! The esthitician was SO good! She started explaining my skin right from the minute she walked in, and the whole thing was almost 2 hours! It was great, except at the end I was getting a bit anxious to leave! LOL! I can only handle so much relaxation.
The weather has been so amazing! Sunny, blue skies, crisp fall air... I love this time of year! The leaves changing colour, flowers still blooming, squirrels running around hoarding their peanuts and barrying them in my yard! LOL! Sorry, Nalla is barking at them as they are running through our yard right now!
Hmmm...
What else.. ooh! My mom is coming to town this weekend.
I'm looking forward to it, but it's unfortunately become somewhat drama filled.. but when isn't my family full of drama?? LOL! At least, I think she's still coming... she's not feeling well (stupid cold that's going around)... so we'll have to see how she's feeling in the next couple of days. Tara (Ry's sister) is having a big dinner on Saturday! Can't wait! I get to see my gorgeous niece and her cuz (Tara's bfs Sister's son) Quin! Too cute! I will try and post pics if Blogger is feeling cooperative later.. since it is NOT right now! I am making pumpkin pie... although I have to say I'm going to be lazing and I BOUGHT my crusts... ooh! Such a rebel :P
I love my new job.. it lets me read and read and read... HAHAHAH!
I finally read Confessions of a Shopaholic, that my cousin Trista leant me... now I bought the others off ebay! For SUCH a great price! I got the bigger books, that are regularly $16.95 each, for less than $8 each after shipping! YAY! And they're in almost mint condition! It's so awesome... gotta love ebay! I know Mel will second that ;)
I should get up and get ready for my day... I've been sitting here, enjoying the sun outside, updating some stuff, chilling with my pug.. :) It's great to have days off...
I just want to say hi to everyone.. and that I'm thinking of you! Hope everyone is doing well!
Have a great turkey day!
