Happy 19 Month LID Anniversary!!


Yesterday was our 19 month LID Anniversary. Neither one of us remembered which I am still wondering if that is a good thing or a bad thing?? I was talking about it on Friday night but it totally slipped my mind yesterday - I guess it was because we were busy.

We went to Landyn's Christening yesterday (our nephew) and then we went to the Mandarin for lunch. Mike and I followed this up by doing shopping and then rounded out the day by hanging some drywall in the basement.

Overall it was a great day - Happy 19 months to us!

I can't wait for a day when we have less months to go than we have already waited. I am hoping when we reach about the 25 month mark we should be about even and then hopefully our months of waiting will be less than that we have already waited?? I guess only time will tell!

Winter Fun - just like when I was a kid!!

So again almost one week late posting this but last night at my MIW dinner I promised the girls I would try to be a better blogger and that I would post about my “Fun Snow Adventure” last weekend. Well after the huge snow storm on Saturday and after we shoveled ourselves out on Sunday (last post) we headed to my Mom and Dads for some good old winter fun!!
Growing up in the country was great - not that I always thought so as a kid but now that I look back it was such a blessing! We always had snowmobiles, our own private tobogganing hills etc... When we were kids my parents would pull my brother and I over to the hills on the toboggan, behind the snowmobile - which was half the fun! We were lucky because we never really had to walk up the hills (which were huge) because my dad would pull us back up with the snowmobile! I remember one time we went, my dad built a little fire and we drank warm apple cider and tobogganed - such great memories!
Anyways last Sunday Mike and I headed to my parents and headed out tobogganing, my dad pulled me over to the hills behind the snowmobile "just like when I was a kid" and it was soooo much fun. It was the most beautiful day, the sun was shining, not too cold, it was perfect! We were out for a couple of hours and had so much fun, even Mike who I think was a little skeptical at the amount of fun we would have had a great time and couldn't stop talking about how it was such a great day and how we can't wait to have more days like this especially when Mhyia gets here!! I absolutely love spending time with my parents, we always have such a great time - these are the kind of days I will remember forever!!

Snow Storm!!

Well I am a week late posting this but better late than never! We had a huge snow storm that started last Friday, March7th and continued right through the day Saturday!!! We were literally snowed in all day Saturday. Mike and I prepared for this snow event by renting 4 movies and stocking up on groceries. We shovelled once Friday night, three times through the day on Saturday and then again Sunday morning! Who needs a gym?? Her are some pictures of Sunday morning.
