Spring is in the air.

We finally got our car! :)  SO nice to drive, except I'm a little nervous that I'm going to fall asleep while driving it.  It's just a bit too easy!!  Between the auto, climate control, auto lights, auto wipers & super comfy seats...ZZZZzzzzzzzz.  haha.  But she runs like a gem, got some umph to her, the diesel chugs along but she's quieter than our last two cars which is nice.  So all in all so far it's been a good buy :)  And the extra room will be handy to have even if people call it our 'family wagon'.  I think Dan's in a bit of denial buying a 'practical' car, hehe.

Life's slowed down a bit at the moment, thank goodness, some breathing room.  I've been slowly putting together a bit of a portfolio for this interview for school next month.  I've put in some photos I've taken over the past few years and some newsletters that I've been making for work.  Hopefully it's enough with my limited knowledge/resources.  Looking forward to having the interview and then finding out if I got in or not (hopefully sooner rather than later!).

Work's slowed down now a bit too, ahhhhh.  I got really sick last week, sinus infection/hay fever/asthma...yuk!  So I was out for pretty much a week, was not fun!  Today's the first day where I've felt myself again which is nice.  The work load at work as lightened (especially with Con no longer my boss and dumping all his work onto me), so I've managed to get out on the floor more, interact with co-workers/customers more and just have the business chug a long at a nice pace, been really nice!!  My new boss Peter seems to be settling in ok, slowly.  He has a different approach to things, not so rough around the edges which is kind of nice.  Still getting used to the dynamic change and he's still learning his role and how the restaurant operates, so we'll see how things progress over the next couple of months.

Life at home has been pretty quiet as well.  We did a big clean of the house the other day, inside, outside and the garage, re-arranged, organized & cleaned which I always enjoy the feeling afterwards.  Feels like things are under control a bit more again, organized.

Dan and I haven't been up to much, a few movies out, movies in, dinners out, walks with Junior, like I said, it's been pretty mellow lately.

I've been sussing out bridesmaid dresses lately, time to start seriously planning this wedding, under a year away now and if you all know me, I like to be organized and have everything done and ready before hand, or as much as possible.  So bridesmaid dresses will be the next thing to tackle, along with invites, my wedding band and getting my dress altered.  That should keep me occupied for the next few months :)

Well that's it.  Missing my family and friends everyday.  Everyday I wish that we were closer in km's, but there's nothing I can do about that so keeping in touch is my best option :)  Love you xxx
