So I'm a month delayed on posting this but I've finally gotten my laptop out to write this. Not much has been going on ever since the wedding. Do we feel any different? Not in the least. At the moment we're just trying to keep busy (and sane) until we come down to Toronto in July. No set date on when we'll be arriving but know it'll be at the end of July and we're more that excited to be there.
As for the April month, my birthday has been on my mind. On Dave's mind, he had a lot more going on. CAT CCs were three weeks long and he left on my birthday, I wasn't the happiest to hear about it but here was my birthday celebration:
The weekend before Dave left for the field we went to this Chinese restaurant called 777. I've been craving dim sum ever since we had that stop over in Toronto and had Rol San with my brother and cousins. It wasn't that great. We went home and Dave baked a delectable ice cream sandwich cookie cake, end of weekend celebration with Dave. My gift? He bought it early, it was my mini iPad.
Monday, the day of my birthday, I spent the day with my lovely Aussie friend, Rachel, who arrived at my door with a pink gift bag with flowing tissue paper saying 'happy birthday'. We have coffee and head out for the day, enjoying whatever Fredericton has to offer (which is nothing). The highlight of our hang out? Taking her to Costco, her first time! She then drops me off to tend to her cute fur baby JR.
That evening I head to my wife on the side, Ashley, and Hayden's place where I'm showered even more with gifts and a cake! My cake had the best candle ever. Ms. Creative couldn't find candles in her home so she found what was closest to lighting up a cake...a flashlight. LOL! Hayden is sent to bed and girl's night begins with beers and Netflixs, sleepover is a necessity since it was my birthday and no one was home.
I forgot to mention, Rachel gave me an oversized clutch with shot glasses from Austrailia and a wacky pen with a roo that boxes with a cute card with kitties on it. Ashley and Hayden got me a gift card to Roots (because they know how much my closet is lacking, hahahah....not!) and a hilarious card where I squished a fly.
Friday arrives and it's girls night, and what do girls do on a Friday night in Oromocto? Why head to Griffins of course! Predrinks at the MacDaddy's resident with Anne, Kayla, Sarah and Tiffany. Three out of four head to the bars plus me and it's a blur with a furry tail to end it off.
Weeks go by now and Dave is still in the field. He's...
...And I stopped there because it was forever long. (And I started writing this weeks ago)
In the end I got a mini iPad from Dave and two collectables, one Hello Kitty and one Beauty and the Beast figurines. Photos will be up probably never but I'll try to post them.
Our next adventure, four years on the 30th of June! Who knows what shenanigans we'll be up to next!
