It's been a GREAT month so far and it's only begun

There has been lots going on this month and it's only the 10th of February...so I thought I'd put up a post to share some of life this week!

February is a big month for Brandon and I...why you may ask?

Well February is when Brandon and I had our first un-official first date, we went to Montana's with some friends after instutite and February is when we had our first official date at the movies...we will never forget the movie MONSTER. We didn't enjoy the movie at all, but it will always be significant because that was what we watched on our first date. So we've now been together for four years...wow wow wow...who would have thought four years ago when we sat through that not so good movie that we'd be married! And here we are! February is also significant because on February 4th we'd been married for SIX WHOLE MONTHS...it's crazy that it's already been half a year...i guess time flies when you are having fun!! February is also the month of love, since Valentines day is coming up...I figured we wouldn't be doing much for this holiday since we both have to work...me 9-5:30 and brandon 7-7...so there is not any time when we'll see each other, but we've actually been doing more, just spread out over the month. Last Friday Brandon surprised me with my Valentines gift early...he bought me some boots, and I couldn't have been happier, because they are the UGGS I've been wanting forever. Some people think they are ugly, but they've never worn them...they are so cozy and warm and I love love love them. I've really wanted them because i can wear them at work and in every day life. So I'm super excited about that. Then this friday we were able to go out to dinner together which we haven't in awhile, and of course we headed out to Montana's. It only seemed appropriate since it was the first place we'd ever eaten at! I've been working on Brandon's Valentines card....it's coming together slowly...but I think it's going to look great, I'll post pictures when I'm done. So this month so far has been a blast, I'm loving the time Brandon and I have gotten to spend together and just to celebrate being together! Hopefully the rest of the month will keep going this way!

Happy Birthday Wishes go out to my MOM!

This Saturday was my mom's birthday.. and if you called my house she would have told you that...hahha she was too cute. So of course a birthday in our home usually brings us all together and mom's birthday was no exception. Mike and Keah came over, Kathy and the kids drove across the bridge and I bused over since Bran had to work. We had a super yummy Chinese dinner followed by some Super Store Cake...YUMMY! Aunt Julie and Uncle Bill also came over to celebrate in the festivities and I know that mom loved being surrounded by so many people that loved her. I'm going to admit to all my blogging friends that I love High School Musical and High School Musical 2...I know they're made for young people, but I love the story and the catchy music...I can even sing along. Now that you all know I'm a geek, it does come in handy because my nieces love it too...they borrowed my copy of the movie and then I showed them some of the second one on the computer, it was so much fun. I think that Sarah could have sat up there with me all night and just watched and learned the song. It was too cute!!! We also had a fun game night...playing Catch Phrase which I LOVE! and also WIZARD...which I do love even though the game drives me crazy...it's a card game and we own it now, so if anyone wants to come over and play a super fun game,let us know!! Another big milestone occured last night and that is that...

Sarah Grace Nelson lost her FIRST TOOTH!

Sarah came home from a fun day playing with her buddy Madison and her tooth was super loose...it was literally just hanging on by a thread. She can be like me, which is SUPER shy, and a little nervous about new things. So she didn't want it to come out...it was driving me crazy and I was offering her so much to let us pull it out...75 cents, candy, stickers, lip gloss...you name it if I had it, it would have been hers. Eventually she let her mother pull it out, and she called me down to the bathroom first to show it off, we were all so excited and happy for her and this big day! Of course she didn't forget anything that I'd offered her, and I was good to my word. She was hesitant to show it off at first because there were so many people over, but eventually she was all grins. So I hope she sees this because I'm very proud of how brave she is!

Goodbyes

are also in the books this month...

as any one who has talked to me lately or have read my blog they will know that we have been managerless, well we have a new manager, but now we're just waiting to get her in our store. We are excited to have Laura joining our team at Spring Garden. We are sad though at the store especially me to see Monika leaving. She is moving out West to oversee British Columbia Roots stores which is super exciting for her, but sad for us to have her leaving. Monika is the coolest person ever, we got to go to Moncton together for Roots and we had a blast together. So I had to make her a goodbye card from the store, a store one just wouldn't be appropriate so posted below is my little fisherman card and a pic of monika and me!! Good Luck Monika...we'll miss you!!!

I hope you all have enjoyed my little update and all my pic's, eventually the rest of them will be posted on facebook...so check them out!! I hope you all feel the love of this month, and have a wonderful Valentines day!! Just know that I love ya all!!! Keep your updates coming, I check them daily!!!
