So here's an update on everything that's been happening with me.
First of all, I got a job! Whoo!!! I'm working at Cookworks, which is a gourmet kitchen store a couple blocks away from our house. I've been there for a month now (part-time), and it's a perfect fit! I'm the Receiver, so basically I get to organize and play with kitchen gadgets all day long. I am really loving it so far. The people I work with are really great too. I feel more appreciated in the month I've been there than I did in the year and a half at my last job! Everyday before I leave everyone thanks me for the work I did that day, not just my manager, everyone! It is both so odd and so refreshing. And after the short time I've been there I've already been asked to work a couple days a week at the downtown store too, because "they need some help organizing" - I'm your girl! So between the two stores that will bring me up to full time hours. And they've also asked me if I would be interested in working in the web sales department. So we'll see what happens in the next few months, but I'm feeling really good about it!
Other things that made our month so busy:
We went home for Mother's Day/my Mum's birthday, which is always hectic! But it was a great visit. Spent a lot of time at my parents' house which doesn't usually happen. And since the weather was so great we spent a lot of time playing in the yard with the girls. Also, I am so thankful to report Talia is finally warming up to Corey, and even let him pick her up!
We had Aaron, Michelle & Kristine over this past weekend. We may have had a little too much fun Friday night - Saturday was rough - but I made it through, haha! We took Michelle for her first mani/pedi, the boys met with the brewmaster at one of the lower mainland's newest breweries, went to see Godzilla (but unfortunately you can't see Aaron in the movie), and we had a fantastic Sunday brunch. All in all an excellent weekend!
Then my sister came to visit and we went to the Backstreet Boys concert - yes, for the 4th time. And it was amazing, as usual! They recognized they and their audience has aged saying "tonight we're going to bring out your inner 15 year old!" & "feel free to call us a boy band, we actually like that now." But they did prove one thing, first crushed never die - hello Nick Carter!
So now I'm just enjoying having an empty house for the first time in 5 days! And the fact that we have no plans for the next two weeks, until Corey's sister's wedding weekend.
Sending lots of love to all of you!
