New hair, planting stawberries and more.

There's been a lot going on in our world this past month. For starters, Jay passed his liquid penetrant inspection ticket!! So very proud of him. He studied so hard. What this means is that he can now inspect welds with certain dyes and stuff. Really it makes no sense to me but that's okay because I'm still very proud of him for passing. He got a certificate that we got a frame for and then while he was taking a nap one day I hung it up above his computer in the the office. I sure am a good wife. :)

A few weeks back we went to our friends Brad and Moose's house and had a blast with them. Moose is her nickname by the way. Why I don't know because shes so little. Her real name is Melissa. They have a pug named Bam Bam that I just love!! I miss my little pug so much that going over there is good for me. Well Moose is a hairdresser and she did my hair for me. She cut it and put highlights in it. SO CUTE!!! I just love it. This isn't the best picture but it will have to do. I look very tired in this picture. We probably got up early to go to yard sales or something. Jay loves yard sales. I kid you not, yard sales in New Brunswick are HUGE!!!! Like to the point where they have town wide yard sales. Its insane!


About a month ago, I went over to my in-laws and planted strawberries. My father in-law Heinz has decided that along with the Christmas Tree farm he also wants a u- pick strawberry farm. So myself along with my sister in-law Melanie and brother in-law Kevin planted 3000 strawberry plants. Jay came along about half way through to help out. It was a good time. I got to their place at like 8 hoping we could start early before it got hot out, but of course we didn't start till like 10 almost. Oh well. I did learn alot that day on how to garden and stuff. It was a good time but I'm still not the out door kind of girl. I don't think I will be having much of a garden compared to as my in-laws do. Heinz has this amazing green thumb! Words can not express how good he is. He has plum trees, apple trees, cherry trees, strawberry plants, raspberry bushes, corn garden, rhubarb plants out the wazoo, pumpkin plants, and much more. Oh not to mention the mass amount of Christmas trees. The man will wake up at like 5 in the morning to get ready to go out and start working. I totally admire him. He has to be one of the hardest working men ever!





Hahaha so, funny story. About a month or so ago I fell in the shower. I'm not going to give any details because really it embarrassing. But I have to post a picture of the bruise I got from it. It hurt pretty bad. It was on my left leg. I laughed so hard when it happened that I couldn't breath. Jay is always telling me that if there is a way to hurt myself I will find it. He once asked me how come I wasn't born with a helmet on. LOL! I told him instead that I was born peeing on the doctor with a scowl on my face. :)

A few weeks back, Jay and I along with his mom went to a family reunion on his moms side of the family. It was really fun. We laughed so hard. Everyone there was at least 70 and over. So the three of us where the youngest. On the way up Jay and I took some funny pictures.















Hahaha we're such dorks. But the best part of the trip was staying with Jays Omama. She makes me laugh so hard. I got to hear the story of her being in the war and what it was like being on the run. She said there where nights that they could hear and see bombs being dropped right next to them. It was amazing to hear. She is from the Romania part of Germany. She and her husband moved all the kids to Canada when Heinz was a little kid. They built the house they grew up in here in Canada. Then Heinz and his boys built the house they live in now. I tell you what, any time anyone in this family needs help building something everyone is there to help and they all know what they are doing. Its amazing really! So Omama makes homemade crepes that Jay loves, I think there okay but my tummy wasn't a big fan of them. Well Jay thought it would be funny to take pictures of Omama while eating the crepes. She's a cute lil old lady that we love!
