We had a nice visit with Brie this weekend. She didn’t know that she would be waking up early on Sunday for blueberry waffles and a parade! Here are a few pics from the Forsythia Festival.

Hello Family!

Ron and I are so excited. We have heard back from Balls Falls and we got Saturday March 28th!!!!!!

We will have an Hors d’œuvre, dessert and dancing reception at the Balls FallsConservation area at 6pm.

Jason is making beautiful invitations as we speak, so they should be out in the mail in a couple of weeks if not sooner.

I will keep everyone updated as time goes on.

So, to make answering everyone’s questions a lot easier… I got a new job at Future Shop in the Falls. I’ll be making $15 an hour. I start training on Monday and have given my notice to HOCO. My last day there is the 2nd. And I also have to attend Cell University in Toronto from November 3rd to 6th. It’s a paid business trip. Since I’m not seasonal I don’t believe I get a staff discount until 90 days have passed.

Any questions… leave a comment I guess.

As of a week or so ago, I’ve been using my pedometer for a year. Here is a screenshot from the software that keeps track of everything.

So, in the last year, I’ve taken at least 3,661,400 which gives me an average of just over 10,000 a day. I’ve walked 1,847.48 miles or 2955.97 km (I could almost be in Calgary by now).

So I got me a new dog. She’s super cute. Two year old Shiba Inu. I named her Kara.

So I made it alive and well. I went for 36 hours without sleeping so last night’s sleep was very welcome. Everyone in Bermuda is extremely nice! The cars always honk hello to each other and many times random people say hi to us on the streets. The scooters are terrifying. I refused to learn how to drive one cause I didn’t trust myself so today I drove with Matt. There were gail force winds and we had to go over a bridge that had ocean on either side. TERRIFYING! and we had to go really fast cause if we went too slow the wind would have blown us over. Hopefully tomorrow I’m more used to them.

 We’re staying at the dockyard which is a big fort turned into a museum so we’re fully guarded on all sides. Lots of canons and 3m thick walls. It’s gorgeous and I’ve already taken lots of pictures.

Today was our first day on site. Didn’t do much but some surface collections and then washed the artifacts and catalogued them. No postmolds.

 The flight was a lot of fun. Flying into Bermuda was the best cause we could look down and see the ocean and the beaches and the water is the coolest colour of turquiose EVER. I don’t think pictures will do it justice. Oh, and when we got off the plane there was a band playing music for us.

 The wind is constant. IT NEVER STOPS! To get from our lounging/kitchen area to our dorm room and bathrooms we have to walk outside through this tunnel. It’s like a windtunnel out there right now. I almost fell over a few minutes ago. But the constant wind makes the heat bearable. Even though it’s so hot, because of the wind we usually wear sweaters on site. So I probably won’t be getting a tan.

Laura says hi.

Not much else going on right now. I should go now. Bye

Here’s an email I got this morning…

Hi Alisa,

I wanted to let you know your daughter Poppy’s picture was chosen as the “Cutest Little BabyLegs” in our February Newsletter. I’m sorry I did not get in touch with you sooner to congratulate you, it was just sent out early this week, and circulates to over 14,000 people and retailers. I think she looks too precious sucking her thumb while wearing her UK leggings.

As the winner, we would love to send you a free pair of BabyLegs of your choice. If you could let me know what style you would like, as well as an address to ship it to, I will make sure you get your prize sent out to you.

Here is the link to the newsletter for you to share with your family and friends.

Hello Family. It has been a while since I have put up a posting, so here goes! Life is good. Christmas was so wonderful, it was hard to say goodbye to everyone and I dreaded going to work that Monday… hahaha. This past week has been really busy with YSA stuff and all around good times. I went to Edmonton with some friends on Saturday, rode the roller coasters and rides at the West Edmonton Mall. It was so much fun! We were out really late and then drove home. But no worries family I was extremely well rested and it was an alert, uneventful drive home.

This week has been work and work and work (and hanging out with Aden). Next weekend I am going to Lethbridge. So at least I am getting outside of Calgary a bit more now.

Hmmmmm that is about all for now, not an exciting post but meeeehhh what can you do?

I will post some pictures of my car and some picture of the West Ed Mall….. eventually. Love you all!
