Jeremy and I bought the loveseat to our couch and chair last week. Leons was having a promotion where you can win up to $150 off your purchase just by mini-putting. Well, we didn't win the $150 off, but we were entered into a couple of draws (to win a trip to Hawaii, a Samsung stereo, or a microwave). And they pulled my name to win the Samsun Stereo. It's not a trip to Hawaii, but it's better than a kick in the ass. So, I'm hoping to sell it.

I finally wrote my psychology test today, so hopefully I won’t be declared as crazy! It didn’t take long (about 1 hour) to take the test and I should find out by the end of the week if I’m crazy or not. Since the end of November 2006, I’ve been filling out applications, questionnaires, and references; getting high school and college transcripts; meeting with Inspectors; and doing testing. All for what? A job with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Station. I’ve been given another start date of March 12, 2007, since they wouldn’t let me start until I took this test.

My job description will basically be doing the back log of events (typing the events from the day; the officers record their events and I listen and type them) and doing 9-1-1 dispatch. The pay is great and the job is only part-time, and there is a likely chance of moving around.

Wish me luck!

But she's still very cute. Her name is Hailey Day. She was born on November 27, 2006 and she's a Border Terrier. My parents decided that they should get another dog because they (mainly my mom) is lonely without Boomer around.

Here is a couple of pictures of her.

Friday Night
Heather, Bryan, Jeremy and I left at 5:00 to drive to MIdhurst to stay with family...but while trying to drive through Perry Sound area, we decided that we should pull off the road and stay at a "lovely" Travelodge. I use the word lovely loosely...as it was the sketchiest Travelodge that I've seen. I'm even comparing this room to the Travelodge that Chrissy and I stayed at last October. The door number was painted onto a circular saw blade; sleeping on the beds was like sleeping on a cardboard box filled with concrete; the smell was less than desireable and the bathroom wasn't the cleanest bathroom I've seen. We did however have a Don Cherry's restaurant in the hotel. I do believe that if Don Cherry were to ever see this place, he would be offended. The weather was extremely bad that at one point we were driving behind two cars about 10 feet away (double highway, we thought), NOPE...it was a transport about 2 feet infront of the car. It was a smart idea to pull off when we did, as the weather did not let up until the next afternoon.

Saturday
We drove the rest (about two hours) to Midhurst to meet up with my parents and Chrissy. The weather was still bad, but we drove behind a sand truck so that we were actually able to see the road. After getting away from the Perry Sound area, the drive was clear and sunny.

The wedding was at a upscale ski resort, I know this because the price of 3 beer from the hotel lobby cost $19.96 (without tip). The wedding party was huge...5 girls, 5 guys, a flower girl, a ring bearer (Gavin, who was the cutest of them all), and 4 other girls... Mara and David looked amazing. The dinner consisted of soup, salad, prime rib, potatoes, and chocolate mousse.






























Sunday
The drive home Sunday wasn't better than the drive on Friday (or Saturday). The wind was blowing, the temperature was freezing the tire tracks on the highway, the snow was falling...in some parts it was a complete whiteout. Here is a couple of pictures that I took from the backseat of the car.

All in all it was a great wedding for David and Mara and I wish them the best of luck in their future together.

David & Mara got married today in Orangeville, Ontario. Congratulations to them! Here is a picture of Mara and David Stadnik, Stephen (Little Stephen or Miserable), Heather, Chrissy and I. I'll add more once I fix them up.


Don't Heather, Chrissy and I look like sisters? We all wore black to the wedding, and NOT on purpose.
