Failing isn't fun...

Argh.....needless to say I thought I was pretty good at tests but for some wacky reason I haven't yet passed a pregnacy test. Better luck next time I guess, argh.

Ken is home and still feeling the jet lag, in fact we both went to bed at 9pm last night. He was asleep in minutes while I lay awake with a bad headache. I'm feeling better this morning....maybe I'll do some baking today.

This saturday is the Bruce Kuhn performance, should be fun. He will be doing the whole book of Luke, wow. Got a small taste a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. I miss going to the theater, its always fun.

So next weekend is Thanksgiving and Ken and I will be heading to Victoria. WOOT. Staying at our favorite hotel on the water, gorgous. Ken also made reservations at Chandlers, the best seafood resturant in our opinion. AMAZING! Our trip is also in celebration of Ken's upcoming Citizenship ceremony next week. YAY. At least Ken can pass his tests, prehapes I can pass mine next time.

Twas a fast week!

I can't believe its friday already. Geeze, where does the time go. Anyhoo, I pretty much completed the massive house clean!!! WOOT! oh and it looks good. I can't wait until Ken can see all the work I did. Only a few more days till he is home. I can't wait, I hate going to bed without him. I have been hugging his pillow all week, as a way of making it feel like there is someone there. LOL - Ken said I could dress it up in his clothes but that is just creepy. Heheh

Ken is having a great time in Ottawa. Him and Meeka are seeing all these cool animated films. Sigh, I wish I was there too. I'm holding down the fort though. We got notice that Ken's citizenship ceremony is happening on October 4th. YAY, how exciting that we hear that news when he is visiting the Capital, thats just funny!

I said on my deviant page I was planning a online web cartoon called 'Love Muffins' but the comics that have been drawn may not be posted. I have had a new idea and I think in a bit I can get it together pretty soon, its just a new direction. Here is a sample of the muffins, one especially for Ken and his becoming a canadian!

Well, I am going to veg out tonight. I'm so tired after all the cleaning. Gack!

One week

So Ken is leaving today for Ottawa. Sniff! He will be gone until next Monday. He is really looking forward to the Animation Festival, and I am so happy for him, but I will still miss him.....

This morning I cooked up some bacon and eggs for him with a huge cup of coffee. We sat and chatted, it was nice to have some quality time before he leaves. Last night we were up late packing all his clothes and stuff for the booth the school will have set up. I think we finally got to bed at 1130pm but then popped in a movie to fall asleep.

I ended up having nightmares of being chased by people with big guns. Kinda wierd, especially since we watch a family movie before bed. I must be stressed or eatting something that gives me odd dreams. I can't remember the last time I had a nightmare. Anyhoo....I woke up with an extremely sore throat. I found a fishermans friend pill and that helped.

Ok, the cab came and Ken is off to the airport. Have a good trip my darling!

I am left to finish the massive cleaning we started last week. I must admit, its looking really good. When he comes home its going to be a different house! WOOT!

Buying the test....

Yeah I know I bought it early but I am really giddy excited. Besides, Ken was with me and for some lame reason I refuse to buy a pregnacy test alone. Perhapes I feel the need for the cashier to see that I have a man and that we are getting this together. Gosh I have issues. LOL

In other news, we have been majorly clean sweeping our home. We finished pretty much the storage room and still have the office and future baby room to go. During the cleaning I found our lost Boppy the Monkey. I took this as a sign that I will get a positive on my test in a few weeks.

Why?

Well, when we were first married we thought I was pregnant and I was pretty nervous and scared. I just got married and I didn't think I was ready for a baby. So Ken went to the store and got a test and brought home Boppy. He said if it was positive then he was holding the baby's first toy. Needless to say it was negative and we decided that Boppy should be the way I would tell Ken we are expecting. Heheh. Yes we are weird but it makes it fun. So the thing is, Boppy has been missing since we moved into our new place 2 years ago and the fact we found him during the time we are hoping we are pregnant seems too perfect to me. Soooooooooo, if I am I will have the best story for the baby book.

Lets wait and see....

Time changes everything....

So I ended up having an interesting summer to say the least. Lots happened in the last month, the biggest one being that I have finished up working for the school. There is a lengthly story into this whole thing but I have said it sooooooooooo many times that its old news in my books. New adventures right?

I have started working from home as a contractor on various projects and I couldn't be happier. It was a hard adjustment at first, especially since Ken is still working at the school. However in the long run its the best for our plans as a couple...... starting a family!

Before you go nuts, no I am not yet pregnant, but we are in the stages of trying. Thats the fun part right, lol. Needless to say we are so excited for this new chapter and I plan to share the journey here.

So here is one of the last portraits we had done. We told the photographer that we were planning a family and that we would get a new portrait when that day came. She got a kick out of documenting the last of our childfree days. heheh.

So basically in a few weeks I will find out if we are going to be parents.... stay tuned!
