Christmas eve winnipeg emergency experience

Never did I think that I'd spend any amount of time in emergency on a Christmas eve but I did the other day. Don't worry, it wasn't an emergency but all the clinics around here were full and my cough turned on me. My lungs started hurting/aching the night of December 23rd and I was puking up stuff and hacking out green thick stuff so I figured a check up was required. I got to emergency, was registered and in minutes called up for blood work, brought to the back of the hospital, given a gown, a bed and told to pee in a cup. I was honestly horrified! We (cam & I) waited for what felt like a lifetime (while listening to a poor man talk about his recent stroke adjacent to where we were) then the doc came in. She looked at me and kinda chuckled, said that the urine test and blood test were unnecessary (really? Great!). She listened to my lungs and concluded that I have bronchitis, gave me some antibiotics and sent me on my way. What an unforgettable Winnipeg Christmas eve!!! Now I just need to wait for this cough to take its course, I could have it for up to a month more... depending if it's viral or bacterial. This is what happens when you work with eighty children who cough on you! At least they are lovable, cute and incredibly fun to teach. Or else I may be a bit bitter about the Christmas sickness. The Christmas gifts I got from them help me through the coughing too! :)

One more week then it's back to work!!

Stockings are ready!

I had a vision a couple years ago (our 1st xmas) concerning how I could personalize our stockings for Christmas. This year since there would be many stocking gifts and we had no way to distinguish whose stocking was whose. I took the time to make them our own. Cam requested the snowman, so I tried to make him as cute as possible! And I made myself the xmas tree, I'm going to eventually get beads for it, just not this year. I love how they turned out! I'm very very happy! Who knew I could be that creative with some left over felt and thread???








Now we are ready for christmas, officially!!!

We are off to Winnipeg at 6am in the morning tomorrow! Pray that we get there safely please.

Christmas Blessings,

Life is hard these days!

Anniversary get away!

So we are off!!! And taking full advantage of our time off (for xmas) to get away for our 3rd anniversary to Harrison hot springs for 2 nights. We have dinner planned tonight at a very nice German restaurant, then it's dinner tomorrow at the Copper room in our hotel. With lots of hot tubbing in between. It's going to help this very nasty cold I've had since Friday.

I'm so excited to get away with my hubby... Just us, no other family but our own! It's going to be so nice!

Merry & joyful :)

I'm enjoying the Christmas tree, a glass of red wine, a great new recipe for dinner and the company of my husband. I really LOVE my life, I truly haven't been this happy in a while. It's like everything I've ever wanted in life has been granted (just need a baby and it would be perfect!).

Only 9 more days and I'll be celebrating the holiday with my Stehr in-law family in Winnipeg. I can't wait :)


Our pretty tree...

What a weekend!

Today was a good day! Actually this whole weekend was great, but let's start with what I did today!!

A very good friend of mine is preggo and due middle of January (16th to be exact) so we threw her a baby shower! And it was a lot of fun!! We played the "don't say baby, baby" game, the "name the poop" game and "how many sour soothers?" game. We decorated, ate lots and lots of food and had many laughs! She also got tons of gifts. I hope you had a great time Alissa Dueck, we love ya!

Saturday was just as fun! The company that Cam works for had their Christmas party and it was a blast! We went to a pub, in a limo! We even got some great gifts, thank you to Sue aka. Boss lady.


Pretty tree outside the pub on Saturday night, it was HUGE!!

I'm SO excited for our Winnipeg Christmas this year. It's going to be so much fun, T-minus 11 days until we leave for the Stehr family Christmas and 7 days until our 2nd honeymoon to Harrison hot springs! And only 1 more week of work full of Christmas activities and performances it's going to be crazy fun.

Lots to look forward to :)
