Hello everybody,

So I've been trying to update my blog since Wednesday but it just hasn't been letting me upload it. So every other day I try again about three times then just get frustrate and stop. So let's hope this one works.

I left you off at Scott's girlfriend's house. Just after updating that blog we went to the mall (st.vital) I said goodbye to Scott. MAN he is getting BIG!!!! Sorry mom I only took two pictures I think I forgot to take out Helena's camera. I met up with Erik and Melissa. We did some shopping. I got shoes, hooker shoes at Wal-Mart to boot. Punt intended. When we were done I got to see Erik's appertment, I like it. It's just perfect for two. We tried playing wii, but they haven't played it since before Denmark so the wii motes where totally dead. So instead we watch viva la bam… I had fun. At around 17 Helena came and picked us up, and drove us back to her house so Helena and I could get changed, she was at work. I wore the same dress I had on at mom's 50th.

When we got there we drove up just in time for everybody else to show up, as we were pulling in Roxanne and Geatan also just pulled in. it was fun to see everybody, then everybody else started coming in, Diane and Mitch. Oh I wasn't the only surprise that day, aunt Carmelle flew in too, plus Erik was there from Edmonton. Well when we got into the restaurant, (pony coral) Roger and Tess was there, they were sitting at one end of the table so naturally we all sat at the other end. They already had drunken most of their drinks, so I guess they had been there for a while. After everybody came in and sat down, Tess puts on her jacket and leaves, we all thought she went out to smoke. But no, no, she left?The supper was ok; it wasn't the best restaurant to go for dinner. I think we all had fun. When we were about to leave we picked about the best time to go, why you ask? Well right when I was saying bye, the birthday "crew" came out to sing the birthday song and bring out cake, so our little goodbye took like half an hour and we missed the Alice in wonderland we wanted to see. We did end up seeing it but at 10.30, they guys that work in the theater was saying that they have never seen this many people for a movie on the second week. We were A LOT of people. Ha-ha… so Helena paid the movie so I got pop corn and drinks, while Helena was saving my seat. And I go up in line in my hooker heels and SHORT dress buying popcorn next to the white bunny, I get two medium drinks and a medium pop corn, do you know how hard it is to hold all that? They guy behind the counter was laughing WITH me on how hard it was to hold it. We saw Alice in wonderland in 3D it was SOO good, I was a little disappointed that the 3D glasses weren't red and blue shades, they looked like normal glasses.

Sunday we went to see Erin (Helena's childhood friend) we looked at wedding pictures, holy she had a very beautiful wedding, but by far the best thing about going to see her was her little baby, McLaren. He was sooooooooo cute… Big eyes, and just fun to play with, I'm already looking forward to seeing them again. After Erin's house we went to pick up Jessica to go for sushi, Jessica is the sushi queen. But before sushi we went to look at the stores around Osborn (Helena's work) we went to the store where she gets all my gifts. I can't wait to go there in October. We also went to some other stores in Osborn. Then we went for sushi. It was damn good. Helena has pictures of the whole trip on facebook. After had sushi we went to the casino, I remember when mormor and morfar was in Winnipeg and they got to go to the casino with the big fish tank, so now that I'm over 18… I got to go! I liked the puffer fish. It's all like swim, swim, swim... Helena offered 5 dollars to gamble with, we totally doubled it! We played a Star Wars machine and one called something like invaders from the planted MooLan (it had cows) and we did the classic pull machine, we didn't do too well on that one.

On Monday, we were going to go to the forks, but Lori called (Glen's sister) and asked if we wanted to go Costco. (It's the Canadian Metro) I got a pound of jelly bellies! Helena got muffins, better muffins then the ones they have at Q8. Lori seemed very nice. After Costco we went to Mitch's and Diane's house. It's a quaint little house, good for a little family (hint hint you guys) she made a lovely meal, we had for starters chips and salsa layered dip and homemade pickles and beets. For supper she cooked pasta with a mushroom sauce and meat in there too with broccoli. Diane doesn't like snakes, so it was a little funny to talk to her about work, and after we went and looked at my blog together, she didn't even like the pictures of the snakes. I had a great time at their house, I miss the farm family.

Tuesday we had to go to the forks. Did the whole store looking at, and got me some mini donuts. Have to get those. I like going to the forks, it doesn't mature how many times you go there is always something to see there. After the forks we went to bulk barn, it's a store that has containers of spices, candies, and other stuff. I got some chocolate and nuts. I have to remember in September I need to go to get some Mac and cheese cheese. We then went home and Helena cooked us (her, glen and me) and very good meal. We had a stir fry with egg rolls. Mmm. Then Helena took me to the airport, I wasn't sad saying goodbye, because I know I'll see her somewhat soon.

The plane ride home wasn't as fun as the way there; our pilot's name was Steve. The only fun thing this was that the flight had about 10 other pilots and flight attendants. A little weird but also fun. Dave came and picked me up, but was about half an hour late and I tried calling him but he screens his calls, so he didn't answer my call.

Wednesday like every other Wednesday is my day off, but I still had a school group, we have school groups every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for the next three months. So I got up early, after work I got home did my laundry, I washed my silk dress without destroying it! Go me! Then I fell asleep.

Shawn started getting sick on Thursday and by Saturday was really sick and couldn't go to the camp in, reptile world works with the royal Tyrell museum schools and other types of groups. They go to the museum and well camp there for the night, at 7ish we go out there with Brittney.They have 4 act ivies to do, one is a seeking game in the large part of the museum, all the lights are out and they have flash lights, another is they get to makes Terodactoes and another is digging for bones and then us, where we do a shot talk about the now a day dinosaurs and they get to hold Brittney. Shawn normally does it, but cause he was sick so Dave went and took me. It was fun to hear his stories and things he talks about. Fun fact; He is scared of cows. Reptile world does school groups with the museum in another way too, if it's a bigger school group on a week day, we don't go to the museum and give a little talk, they come to us. And that's when we do our groups on Wednesdays. So soon I'll have to be doing my own talks.

So today if this blog updates, today is my day off, I went to check my mail box, I only check it once a week. And got two letters, one from the bank, and one that doesn't belong to me, so after I got my mail I went to the bank to ask them if it was possible not to send me bank updates telling me what I use my money on, I don't like getting useless mail, it's worse than junk mail. I've been doing laundry like I do every Tuesday. Dean does his on Mondays after he comes home from Edmonton on weekends. He has another place there.

I think that is it for now, man I hope this one works. It gets longer and longer every time I write.

Love you all, I'm really starting to miss you all, give your selves a big hug from me!
