hello faithful readers, (if you still read this then that is what you are now called!) our family is currently sitting in a McDonald's in france...picking up free wifi. the french say it "weeefee"... now would probably be a good time to say that i am not particulary fond of french people. they are quite egotistical..they don't even have a freaking second language. i'm pretty sure that says it all. but on top of that they have these hoity-toity attitudes, like "psssh, i'm better than you" kinda thing.
anyway. saturday we left germany and drove 11 hours to coutances near normany, france. sunday morning we looked for a church but we went to the beach instead. yesterday (monday) we spent a few hours in the sun. i got mom to lather on the tanning lotion..and when we got back to the house i realized i had a nasty burn. i went european style face down with no top, so everything is cherry tomato red except for my white butt. it's quite a site!
the house that we are staying in is about 100 years old, three bedrooms, made of stone. it's quite lovely actually. well, maybe you will hear from me soon, maybe not!

the italiano boy
hey friends,
Last thursday night was the commencement of our high school graduates. One of my best friends, Marley was graduating so I went to see all the action. The guy that I have liked for 8 months graduated too. This makes me sad because my chances with him are pretty much zilch now that I won't be seeing him anymore... in the hallways or in Art class or law..
Back when i started liking him in November it wasn't me that started the crushing or whatever... Like obviously it was but that is beside the point. One day in Art class i was just sitting there while we were watching some pictures flash on the screen. Looking around I noticed the Italiano staring at me. He looked away.. two minutes later, out of curiosity I took another peek. He was looking at me again! Now this may seem really lame but i was the WTH why is he staring at me??? I'm not showing any cleavage, nor did i spill anything on my shirt or have food in my teeth. It was so weird. That same day he was talking to me in his deep, smooth lovely voice and he walked past me a bunch of times and smelled so goood. =) That was the day I started liking him.. The third Wednesday in November.
I'll give you a quick description of him: he's 18. plays basketball and soccer. has great hair, it's really textured and nice. sandy blond. he has AMAZING green eyes... wow. and red lips and a little, hardly noticeable scar on his lip..hmm. he kinda has monkey ears.. hehe. and a cute smile. he's like the picture perfect poster boy model dude... anyway
My friends encouraged me (even though he knows who i am) to go up to him and be like: "for the amount of eye contact we make, I thought it appropriate to introduce myself." But i didn't.
Anyway, now he is graduated and I've heard he has interests in some other girl but I'm still crushing on him.... a lot. I wish it would go away...
well.... Italiano... if you read this you know who you are... make a move on me already. haha just kidding. ;)

it's been a while
hello anyone who might be reading this:
it's been awhile! so much stuff has happened since I last wrote a blog post. I'll tell you something exciting! I had a boyfriend... i know a while ago, i wrote that I didn't. So i thought i would update you!
so.. I met him in Ottawa on a 4-H trip conference. We hit it off right at the beginning and we were hanging out like old friends.. funny thing was, I wasn't really interested in him. I thought his friend was cute. Anyways. He kinda started hanging out with me a lot.. almost following me around like a lost puppy dog.. then i started realizing a few things: he had this spunk about him, his eyes really sparkled and he had an amazing smile. Then a little attraction formed. we were together like the whole time and on the Tuesday night of the trip I decided I liked him. Oh another thing I forgot to mention is that he lived in Newfoundland...which means he had an amazingly cute accent. That was a huge turn on!! =) so, one day Jarrett and me were walking around this random museum and we went into this Indian movie theatre thing and we sat down. Then he started holding my hand. inside i was like "eeeeek" we sat there and talked for an hour and a half. It was so great. when it was time to go, he got up first and stood in front of me. Then he took my hand, pulled me up, and kissed me on the lips. hehe. Ok as I previously stated I am now going to put a little bit of my journal in here... be prepared.

dear diary!
Jarrett kissed me twice today!!!!!!! yeah. and the week is over and I'm going to miss him so much. we danced like the entire time and he is a great two-stepper. Yeah, so we like each other. We went to the Canadian Museum of Civilizations and him and me hung out alone the whole time. We went into this little theatre thingy and held hands in there for an hour and a half. while watching the same show about seventeen times in french and english. He is a really great guy. At the end we stood up and he pulled me in and kissed me. On the lips, *insert scream here* yeah. And we kissed once at the dance too. It was so quick. I wasn't ready. It's funny, we were resting on the edges drinking water and holding hands. Then he said "ready?" i thought he meant to go back and dance, so i said yes. So i turned to him and he kissed me. The second one was much better. The end.
he's cute. hehe.
yes so we were together for just over a month. It was amazing, he treated me like a princess and we loved each other. It's over now, but instead of crying that it's over I'm smiling that it happened.
until next time

We R family
Yesterday the clouds sent us a good sized dump of fresh white snow. School was cancelled and I was put in charge of the three youngest children. Their names are Amy (7), Leah (5), and Zee (2.75). Since I didn't want to be a "meanie" and give them endless chores and tasks we compiled a list of things to do.
Our list went something like this: fold laundry, sort toys, play Wii, play in the snow, lunch, nap for Zee, and free time for the girls.
The snow kept coming down, meanwhile we sorted toys and the kids watched CBC kids. The kids wanted to go in the snow sooo badly. But I kept distracting them, trying to hold off for just another half an hour. Finally, after we had tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch, it was time to get dressed.
We were outside for a grand total of about an hour: during this time we took about a 100 pictures on our walk down our long driveway.
...long time ago.
