just an update!
WOW. i cant believe we are comming into the second week of march here... my birthday was on the 1st which started the first of many exciting months to come!
it was a great day... i thought it was going to be the worst considering that last year i spent my birthday with my incredable husband in costa rica on a quadding adventure that he planned out including a picnic on the beach and a suprise upclose and personal with a goup of howler monkeys... dinner on a cliff and a panoramic view of the sunset... it wasnt anything close to last years birthday but it was great all the same.
i got awesome happy birthday helium balloons from the people upstairs and beautiful flowers sent to me by my husband (who is out of town for work) i went out for lunch and a massage with my good friend echo and out for coffee with her later as well. it was just a great, relaxing day. and i got TONS of phone calls, emails and blog comments (thanks!) i am truley blessed.
exciting news: we have decided to go to mexico in october... i know its kind of a long way away but its exciting all the same. we have travelled ALLOT these past few years (about 20 countries in 2 years i think i counted!) but we usually do it backpacking style so its going to be really fun to go to a really nice resort which neither of us have done besides the one we stayed at in spain that our friends work at. its called Riu resort in Peurta Vallarta & apperantly its like a 5 1/2 star resort. i dont know for sure but i saw pics on the web site and it is AMAZING looking. we are going for my parents good friends (uncle george and auntie caroline) 25th anniversary where they are going to renew their vows to each other... they are even having a little wedding and everything and there are like over 50 people going. the plane ride there is going to be NUTS. anways, its going to be AWESOME & a blast and i can't wait. my poor husband more than deserves a break after working so hard for all of these months out of town and everything.
in other news... next week i have to give my two weeks notice to work because in three weeks from today i get to go see Jo-Ben!!! yay! and then drive out to B.C where i am spending most of the summer (helping my cousin Jess plan her wedding which i am almost more excited for than my own!, catching up with fam and friends, going to the cabin, etc, etc) Jo-Ben will be tree planting for 5 weeks from may-begining of June and ill be visiting periodically up in PG but spending most of the time in the valley where he will join me untill the end of june when we will pack up ALLLLLL of our stuff and move out to Alberta for the big move. we are going to be living in Three Hills which we are not thrilled about but its just for probably a couple of years till he gets to run his own truck (his boss Rod lives in Three hills) and then we are thinking we will buy a house in Red Deer. we love it there and think its a great place to make our home base (where we can go when we arent in costa rica which we plan on being the majority of the year if all goes as planned!) so yeah... feels like this month really started the ball rolling for everything.
i cant believe joben has been gone for over 2 months already... it hasnt been easy by any means but its almost over and it feels like expecially the last month has flowen by! i am SO excited for this upcomming year and this month has kick started it... its going to be a very good year, we are SO incredably blessed... cant wait to see what happens!
anyway, have a great day all you bloggers! im off to bed.
