Date night

Yesterday was J last day off before he switched to the night shift so we decided since it was raining and gross outside we'd stay in and have a date night. We rented 'Bourne Legacy' from the Zip kiosk and picked up some deserts. J prepped some cheeses & meats we poured some wine we had leftover from our wedding while I cleared out our living room and set up some blankets for our picnic and lit a few candles to set the mood. :) A&J

Cheap Tuesdays

We're going to the movies!!! We call it cheap Tuesday because its half price to see a movie, is it like that at all movie theatres?
My mama gave J { us } movie gift cards for Christmas so we've been using them up. There are so many good movies out right now that I decided to make choosing more fun we'd draw the names from a hat to decide which movie to watch. Last Tuesday we saw 'This is 40' it was good however I did cry, I know who cries during a comedy?!? This girl does! Anyways last night we watched 'Django' it was such a good movie although the shooting seen was far too long it felt like a family guy scene being dragged out but other then that it was pretty good. If you are offended easily I don't recommend it as they use the 'N' word quite often also make sure you take a trip to the washroom before you find your seats as this movie is looong, like 3 hours long!

Apartment{for rent}please

We really need a change of scenery as well maybe a little extra cash in our pockets & shorter commutes { meaning more cuddle time with my sweetie bear }... but the thought of trying to find an apartment in the city makes me cringe maybe even break out into hives.
You'd think I'd have this moving thing down pat seeing as most of my childhood my family moved quite often which I actually enjoyed, I loved always getting a new bedroom and making new friends. As I get older though I've grown to hate it more and more. My 4 years of college I moved to a different student house every year seemed pretty routine pack up my room and move, simple! Now we have an ENTIRE apartment to pack up...ugh I dred the thought of it then the stress of the actually moving day!!
Yesterday I thought I would make the first move {no pun intended} and start our search, I called at least 7 places only 1 person actually answered the phone and the price was way higher then advertised... Its pretty frustrating but Its just the beginning of this journey so wish us luck!!!

Gotta get down on Friday

TGIF!!! This was my first week back to work, mind you it was only 3.5 days this week because of New Years but seriously... Trying to recover from the holiday's, although I crave consistency and schedules its has been sooooo hard getting back into routine thank goodness we've made it.

Yesterday J came down to my work to surprise me after his shift and brought me Chipotle Mmmmm so sweet of him it sure was delish!!!! After I was done work we took a little stroll around Yorkville in search for a pair of boots for him, you'd be surprised how hard it was to find a nice good quality decently priced pair of winter boots for a men! He finally settled on a really nice pair of Timberlands from The Hudson Bay Company we even scored a boxing week sale of 40% off!

We've been around

I cannot believe were nearing the end of the first week of January already where is time going?? Its been quite nice getting to spent all this extra time at home with the husband over the holidays, We're not use to seeing each other as much with his day & night shift changes. For Christmas J bought me a juicer and we've been experimenting with different fruits and veggie recipes. If you guys have any please share in comments we'd love to try them out.

While we were heading downtown for NYE we stopped at Aroma in the Eaton's Centre to grab a quick bite. We had searched most of the Entertainment District looking for a good sandwich shop but most places had closed up early because it was New Years Eve. Needless to say our two half sandwiches and what appeared to be day old mushroom soup were so not worth the $19 bucks a roos spent! We wont be returning!!

Also we got to a see quick Disney on Ice performance while waiting for the Citytv NYE bash to begin it was honestly the coolest thing ever! I felt like a kid again. My face lit up and I couldn't get the smile off my face, ducking and peeking around others trying to get a glimpse of all the characters skating around I think I may have to look into taking my 'nieces' to see the real show.

Enjoy a few of the photos from the rest of our night.

Look on the bright side

Five things I’m thankful for.

1.) We both have good jobs in a really crummy economy. Somehow we’re supporting ourselves. Okay, not very well, but we are!

2.) I have friends and family I can call who care about me and will listen to me vent anytime of the day or night.

3.) I have a husband who is working his cute little bum off so he can take care of me and our little family we will one day have.

4.) We have a nice, reliable car with a good, strong heater. We have underground parking meaning in the winter we don’t have to scrape ice off the windshield.

5.) We have a fantastic family who we love so, so, so very much (and miss almost constantly!).

Goodbye 2012 hello 2013!!!

Well well well what can I say 2012 has been quite the ride with many ups and downs being pushed, pulled and molded testing our relationship. It definently hasn't been an easy year but It hasn't been all bad there has been many good memories as well as good heath, great family and friends.

Although we've been hit with some pretty hard challenges I'd like 2013 to be about growth and balance. I'd like to learn to live without fear or shame, or embarrassment, or of judgement. I want to live purely in the moment, effusively and wholly.

Cheers to creating even more awesome memories with my husband :) maybe this year we can check a few things off our bucket list
