SUMMER TIME IS A COMING!!

Jessica and I have tons of plans for the summer, and I am getting excited. First up is a trip to Billings with my mom to visit two good friends from university (they're married - hehehe). I'm thinking about the Mexico trip with my church, and Rough Acres bible camp. And then there will be surfing trips, camping, swimming, frisbee, a little soccer outside, hiking, fishing (if we ever get to go with Kris), and lots of weddings.

And, unfortunately I have missed my chance to get a weird tan from summer activities because I have a fake one from a tanning bed. (although my favourite one is the water skiing one)

So get excited everyone, we are going to have a great summer!

Weddings, Weddings, Weddings!!

So, I have approximately 100 cupcakes to make this next week (I have made over 100 already... they're in my freezer). I couldn't sleep last night because I was trying to think up a skit for Erin and Ade's reheresal dinner, and I ended up dreaming about transporting cupcakes to the wedding (for some reason they were in donut boxes in my dream). Now I am starting to understand why girls plan their weddings without having a guy in mind. I am constantly surrounded by wedding ideas. I am starting to know what I like and what I don't like about other's weddings. Weird, I know.

Jeremy and Kalena got married yesterday. Both of my roomates are at weddings today. Erin and Adrian get married exactly two weeks from today. Becca got engaged on Thursday this week. Her wedding is in May.
For the summer: Taylor and Pam are getting married on July 7th, Sarah and Mike are getting married on August 19th (for some reason that date sticks in my head, but I'm not sure it is the right one), My cousin Alyssa is also getting marrie d sometime in August, Chris and Gina are getting married on April 27th, and it seems that I have forgotten at least one. Our fridge is covered in wedding invitations.
And the question remains... where is my husband? Where is he hiding? Why can't I find him?

DDR at work??

So, not many people can say that they play DDR at work. It's pretty awesome!! It was (GASP!) almost worth skipping a weekend of hanging out with friends. We took the Skytrain to Science World on Friday to see their chocolate exhibit (which didn't have enough free samples for my liking). I played basketball for a while yesterday with the kids, and today, well, we watched a movie and played some badminton (one of the girls schooled me), and looked at silly music videos on YouTube. I don't have any idea what they have planned for tomorrow, but I know everyone went skating last Monday (and I missed out!)

Teenagers are super funny when it comes to food. We have lots of stuff they can make - pancakes, soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, mac and cheese, toast, pizza pops, lots of different kinds of fruit - but they will open up the frigde and say "There's nothing to eat!" But when stuff is made (I made waffles and bacon for breakfast Friday morning) it is completely devoured!!

Favourite quote of my day at work: "I just want to be married and have kids and it's not happening!!"
The story behind my favourite quote of the day:
One of our teens was frustrated and yelling at one of our staff about all the things she didn't like about the day (we ran out of peanut butter, then while the girl was on time out, another teen ate her lunch!! - I would get angry too if I couldn't eat what I wanted!) So, the staff member gave her a little piece of what was wrong with her own life! "I just want to be married and have kids and it's not happening!!" I laughed until I almost cried, mostly because I understood the sentiment. We all have stuff in life that we don't like, but even a day without peanut butter isn't that bad!
