That stupid quiz...

...is driving me insane. I can't figure out how to keep it out of the margins. If anyone has any ideas, let me know!

Update from Nelson

So I'm on (idle) holidays! I love it. I love school too, but its nice to do lots of nothing. I've had very good days so far. Thursday was a great day. In the evening we went to Lindsay's and Jeff's - Lindsay unknowingly cooked our 'engagement dinner'! Yum - she did a great job. We didn't do much on Saturday. Ben, Peter and Alissa went skiing on Sunday but I felt like crap so I stayed at home. Ben succeeded in giving me some of his crazy army germs. It could be worse, though. Monday was Christmas - it rocked. I talked to Dad and Grandpa Sam in Victoria - it seems like everyone is doing well there - Grandpa sounds better as well! Tuesday Ben and Peter went skiing - I stayed at home again. In the evening we went to Darcy's house for his annual Boxing Day BBQ. Super tasty, as usual. We also went out afterwards. It was fun, although I'm still not feeling 100% Today was super lazy - we went snowshoeing as soon as we got up - it snowed a LOT last night so it was really tiring. Then we spent the rest of the day vegging and reading! Heavenly!

Oh the idle holidays!

Apparently I'm female!


You scored as Female. Being mostly female by thought, is even though (still) considered inferior to masculinity in Western culture, a good thing in many ways: By definition it means that you are more creative, and sensitive towards your environment, enabling you to express yourself freely.

Here is a picture of my taken right after he proposed!












Here's the picture of us taken right after he proposed. The spot he picked was awesome!













Here's the first pic of us back at home after the hike. Peter and Susanne knew what was up, Alissa didn't. It was awesome - emotional and lots of crying.

Awesome News Part 3 - Ben and I are engaged!

Here's the second pic of us back at home after the hike.


















Here's a pic of the ring Ben gave me - he designed it while in Basic Officer Training Camp and he emailed pictures of it to the jeweler in Nelson - Chris Kolmel. It's paladium, black jade and a diamond! It's amazing and definately one-of-a-kind!

Christmas Plans!

I've booked my Christmas flights! I'm very excited - both to see my relatives in Victoria and especially to see Ben! Hopefully I'll see him on the 21st, although there is an absolutely minute chance that I'll see him before...hopefully we'll know later in the week!

Also in good news - Albertans weren't completely off their rocker and voted in Ed Stelmach as leader of the Conservative Party - both Jim Dinning and Ted Morton were crazy and scary, in my opinion! Yeah - I don't have to move out of the province for moral reasons!

TTFN!

Crappy and Good News

Well, crappy news first: I found out yesterday that Ben won't be coming home until Dec. 21. Grrrr. That cuts his holiday (and my Ben-time) in half because he still has to go back on Jan. 7. That really sucks - I was so happy that I only had to wait a week to see him and now it's more like 3. Bah... The only 'good' part of this whole fiasco is that I won't be exposed to any of his crazy army germs during exams...

For some good news - I found out that Cradle of Filth is coming to Edmonton a few days ago! I just bought a ticket for the show on Feb. 8! I'm excited - it should be awesome!

TTFN!
