Well not really but I do have an exciting announcement.
Someone is getting married! YAY!
It's not me - haha!
My youngest sister (at the ripe old age of 21) got engaged yesterday.
I'm very happy for her and I'm very excited that she is coming home on Friday so I can congratulate her in person.

Edmonton...
I am home safe and sound from my little jaunt to Edmonton.
I had a wonderful time relaxing and spending time with Anne & Alison. It started off a little rocky with Anne being 30 minutes late picking me up. Poor thing was VERY upset that she was late. It wasn't her fault though - she left in plenty of time to get to the airport nice and early but ended up getting a speeding ticket which then took the cop 25 minutes to write up. It was a speed trap and 2 others cars were pulled over after she was and they both left before her. I didn't really mind - it was a bit disconcerting because she doesn't have a cell phone but...I just sat down and read my book in the airport and figured she would show up eventually - and she did :)
Alison, however, was a bit more upset since she was waiting for us but I was able to contact her and let her know we were running late and why on my cellphone.
Saturday we met Alison at the Farmer's Market where I bought this fabulous vinaigrette - which I conveniently forgot I couldn't take home because it was larger than 100ml and I only had a carryon with me. Then we went for a nice little lunch where a proceeded to dump hot coffee down my lovely cream shirt - that was so NOT emabarassing. After lunch we walked up and down Whyte Ave popping in and out of all the cute shops down there. I would recommend it to anyone who goes to Edmonton. Then Alison went home and Anne and I rented some movies.
Sunday Anne and I ended up going to Starbucks 3 times - heard the exact sermon that we needed to hear - went back to Whyte Ave - I had my first Booster Juice ever - went to West Ed - stopped by Alison's place (which is fabulous by the way) - and then off to the Airport (nice and early).
When I got home I promptly washed my coffee stained laundry and went to bed.
All in all I really enjoyed myself and am very happy that I went and feel very relaxed.
Oh and I found out today that I passed business stats so that's a plus :)

Off and Away - sorta...
So I leave this afternoon for my super short trip to Edmonton to visit Anne & Alison - I'm excited - sorta...
Do you ever find that when it comes to going on a trip that when it actually comes to leaving you would rather stay home? Well that's how I feel - I feel like I would rather stay in bed this weekend than:
Friday:
- Leave work @ 1pm
- Arrive @ Abbotsford Airport by 2pm
- Board plane in Abbotsford @ 3:05pm
- Arrive @ Calgary Airport @ 5:44pm
- Have layover in Calgary
- Board plane in Calgary @ 7:15pm
- Arrive in Edmonton @ 8:32pm
Sunday:
- Arrive @ Edmonton Airport @ 8:00pm
- Board plane @ 9:00pm
- Arrive @ Abbotsford Airport @ 10:02pm
Obviously I will enjoy my time with my friends but right now - sitting at my desk at work - I feel like I would rather just go to bed...
I am such a whiner - it is time for me to "Suck it up Princess!"
I love Anne and Alison and I know I will have a fabulous time with them and so what if I'm tired! Like my mom said yesterday - the things she regrets in life are the things she didn't do not the things she did.

Time for the next step...
So yesterday I had my final exam for Business Stats (yuck!) I think I did okay - I'm sure I did really well on the multiple choice which I bombed on the last test so that's an improvement.
My new class starts on May 9th - Organizational Behaviour - don't ask me what it is because I don't know - all I know is that I have to take it for my diploma and it's offered online-ish - I have to go to the Surrey campus 4 times this summer - once for orientation and 3 times for tests. With me hopefully moving to Abbotsford in June I really didn't want to be driving out to Surrey every week if I could help it.
I am running away this weekend to Edmonton - I will come home Sunday night - I'm too cheap to skip work and lose money - well too poor anyway - haha!
My baby sister - Becca - comes home for the summer May 1st - I am supposed to move out June 1st. So until then Bec and I will get to share a room again - we had to last summer and that worked out fine - the only problem was Becca didn't like me reading before bed so I would hang out in the living room doing that - no issue really. Isn't it great when siblings can get along?
I'm loving the weather - I love sun and I love rain - I really only HATE snow - I always say that I live on the coast so that I will have to deal with as little snow as possible - this winters snow really annoyed me and of course people should always take note when I am annoyed - haha!
So...yeah...that's what's up!
