Remember me?

where to start...

Well, to start, my grammar skills have probably all but disappeared in the last 2 years. Bear with me as I try to remember how to speak properly.

I got a new job (actually I've had a few) But I finally settled as a Drug and Alcohol Technician at CannAmm Occupational Testing Services. In a nut shell, I dip sticks into stinky urine to see what the client is currently hopped up on. For inexplicable reasons, I LOVE my job.

We had a semi-traumatic almost-move to Port Hardy, BC. I won't go into details as I am still not entirely sure what fuck happened. Anyways, Travis and I now occupy the basement of mom and dad's house on "The Block". And despite the chaos that this almos-move created for quite some time, we love it here and we are all very happy.



Also, I am now a married woman *pause for applause* Travis and I said our vows in a small short ceremony July 30th 2011 and celebrated with our closest friends at Kingswood golf course. The decorations were mediocre at best, the cake was horrific, and our groomsmen got into a parking lot brawl. But we didn't care. It was the second best day of my life.



So I guess you must be wondering what the first best day of my life was.

December 23rd 2011, I tinkled on that magic wand and two pink lines changed my life. The months that followed were the worst of my life. I started getting sick at about 10 weeks pregnant. After 4 hospital visits, 2 letters that put me off work, and countless tears, my doctor finally put me off work until the end of my pregnancy. I started feeling normal around 24 weeks pregnant, and luckily was able to fully enjoy the rest of pregnancy. 26 hours of fairly easy labor, 1 excellent epidural, 3 hours of horrific pushing, and she was here. My little bundle of pink changed my life and I feel I should warn you that the majority of my blogs will be about her. That is what I take the time to do them.

So there you have it. Anything else you need to know about me, will likely be found within future posts in bits and pieces. I like to keep people guessing.

Anyways, Marissa is about to die on The OC, and my iphone update is almost complete, so I should skidattle.

stay tuned.
