Crash My Party

The last few days I haven't been feeling good, so I haven't been doing much, including not writing posts! Sorry guys! I would like to thank everyone who does read my blog, from all over the world! It is truly appreciated!

I've been taking the Ganoderma Lucidum and Mycelium capsules now (1 a day) since April 6, 2013. I can honestly say that my Crohn's Disease has been completely under control. It's never been better actually. It's one less thing I have to worry about on a daily basis, which to anyone who is living with Crohn's, and you're looking for a bathroom in every public place you go to, I haven't had that problem in over a month now. You know what it's like, anyone with IBS, or something similar. It's not something you want to deal with on a daily basis but are absolutely forced to. I truly wish I could get every one of you trying these products, they would be worth your while and worth your money. I really do encourage everyone to give Organo Gold's products a try, even if it's only for a few days, you will notice a difference!

I've been having ridiculously vivid dreams still. Almost every night, and I've hardly been sleeping, sometimes I'm only getting about 4 hours of sleep, I'm really not sure what is up with that. We shall find out soon I would imagine. I'm just hoping it all straightens out and I can go back to being me, not someone who is constantly tired or needing a nap! (And grumpy)

I've also been downloading some new music, and a few new movies. Today I watched "Safe Haven". I have to say, I absolutely love Nicholas Sparks' books, and I really love the movies too! Safe Haven made me think a lot, about how much I love my life, the things I'm doing, the places I'm going, the things Wade and I are experiencing or doing together. Before I met him, I really didn't do much, didn't go to concerts or anything. I mostly went out drinking to a local bar with some friends, that's about all my life consisted of, that and work/college. He's changed my life in so many ways, the best ways possible.

We have a fire ban no in all of the area, no camp fires, no anything. It's so dry here that they're even advising people to not leave their ATV's idling in one spot for too long as the heat from the exhaust may cause the grass to catch fire! - I'm thinking of making s'mores on the BBQ, you put the chocolate and marshmallow in between your graham crackers, wrap it in foil, and put them on the BBQ! I was really hoping to have a fire this weekend, but I guess we'll just be working on tidying the yard, getting crap put away and organized (on the account of our creepy neighbour, everything will be locked up), getting my suntan on, putting up a privacy screen (so I can tan in my bikini), and maybe even going in our pool! This fire ban has really put a damper on our fire having plans, and has crashed our party!

Seize The Day

Yet another busy weekend has passed us by! Saturday we spent shopping for a new door for the house, a few things for my brother too, and a work bench for Wade. We spent the evening on Saturday putting together the work bench, and working on our sunburns! And then of course organizing everything that's to go in and on the work bench!

Sunday was incredibly eventful! We got a new front door! Yay, it took pretty much all day for the guys, but it looks absolutely incredible! I don't really have much of a before photo, but I have an after photo!

So, after the door was put in and cleaned, as well as insulated, we headed in to town to do a bit of shopping! We needed a few groceries, and wanted to look at getting a pool. Well, all went well, we got a pool, and groceries! We couldn't go in the pool last night to cool off and to cool down our sunburns though :( because with using the garden hose to fill it, the water got extremely cold! So cold, that you could only stand dipping your feet for a few seconds, it did soothe my mosquitos bites on my feet and toes though. I can't wait to use the pool tonight, it's going to be +29 today, and the pool will be warm, but all we have to do is add some cold water to it, it will be incredible.

Well, the house is all dusty, saw dusty, and there's spray foam everywhere, so I should get going and get this stuff cleaned up so I can enjoy my day outside!

If I Die Young

When I was still living back in BC, and in high school, there was a lot of things that I hadn't experienced yet in life, that a lot of people were experiencing. Examples; concerts, hockey games, traveling. So naturally I started a bit of a bucket list, even kind of when I wanted to get married, and when I wanted to have children.

- Attend a concert - Keith Urban, Eric Church
- Attend an NHL Hockey Game - Calgary Flames vs. Vancouver Canucks
- Travel outside of Canada - Planned for our honeymoon/first anniversary
- Get married around age 23 - Married my one true love on September 1, 2012 (age 22)
- Have children by age 25 - Currently a work in progress
- Own a home  - Wade and I bought a home Christmas 2011
- Have my own pet - I had a cat named Bella (who was taken by coyotes), now we have two cats and two dogs


I was just talking with Wade a bit about it, he doesn't have a bucket list yet, mine isn't extreme, and it probably won't get any more extreme then what the average person wants in their lifetime, but for me, that is enough. I've already done more with Wade than I have ever done in my lifetime, he's introduced me to so many things in my life, I am truly appreciative.

Crank It Up

Last week, we bought new blocks to re do our outdoor fire pit! It has a touch of my home, you'll see in the picture. The fire pit we had, came with the house, the bricks weren't put together properly, and everything was broken and falling apart (real eye sorer), it was horrible! We've been slowly breaking in the new fire pit too! We put a sloped roof on our house (we live in a mobile home and it had a rounded roof), so there are a lot of butt ends of boards that we have been burning, that and sticks/leaves from the yard! Now the fire pit looks like it's missing a block, and well it is. It's supposed to be on the bottom of the pit, but because we live where it is so windy, we wouldn't be able to get a fire lit if the missing brick was on the bottom! The rocks around it are from back home in BC!

So many things are going on in life, we're planning a new deck, when we may want to start it, pricing it out, that kind of thing. (the deck too is rotting plus it is painted terribly and the paint is so old it's chipping off)

It's currently sitting at +15 right now, I can't wait, I think we will have dinner outside! I'm making mini burgers on slider buns. The hamburger has been marinating in some Bullseye BBQ Sauce, ketchup, and freshly minced garlic. I'm also going to add bacon bits and grated cheese to the burgers, and grill them up on granite! I'm going to make a salad with thinly sliced asparagus, avocado, lettuce, sunflower seeds, croutons, a bit of cheese, some bacon, some parmesan, and dressing of course! I think it sounds absolutely delicious and I can't wait! I'll add a picture at a later date :)

This weekend it's supposed to be +25, which I also cannot wait for! I have very white skin, with being a red head, so naturally I cannot wait to get out and do some suntanning :)

Trail In Life

I wanted all of my readers to know that KP has ventured off on her own, she's started her own blog :) Here is the link: http://kaylapeterson2019.blogspot.ca

Well, there were a few mishaps in our household last night. One involved Wade and one involved my brother.

Wade has the Tower 200 exercise mechanism, and he was installing it in our shed for personal use, as there's not much room in any of the bedrooms to have it hanging on the doors. He had it secured, or thought he had, and went to give it a test run, needless to say a piece of the metal frame slid off and smashed him in the nose. (Keep in mind I was queasy all day yesterday) I was laying on the couch because I hadn't been feeling good all day, when Wade came in, his hands were soaked in blood, blood was dripping all over the floor and then the kitchen sink! He has a gash along the one side of his nose, and his nose was bleeding a lot from the impact, nothing broken though (thank god). So, he's dizzy from the trauma, I'm dizzy from all the blood, could you imagine me trying to bandage up his nose? Needless to say he was sitting in a chair, and I was kneeling, as the air was "too thin" standing. It's all bandaged up and steri stripped, and he's off at work.

Now for my poor brother! We use baby gates to block the hallway off from the dogs, they have a habit of going into the bathroom and digging all of the garbage out and destroying it. Anyways, back to my brother, he was carrying his dinner down to his room as he was playing in a few games online, and went to step over the baby gate but didn't make it all the way, he managed to save almost all of his dinner, only lost a few fried mushrooms, but smashed his bad shoulder into the wall :( - it had been hurt in a car accident - and now it's sore again :(

One could say our house has seen enough mishap for a while now! I don't know that I can stomach any more blood! Today I'm not quite as queasy but I am incredibly tired still, just like I was yesterday! Not sure what's up!

I wish KP well on her new blogging adventure :) Thanks for joining my blog, even though it was short lived, I'll continually read yours :) Enjoy your blogging experience KP
