Harry Potter..ahhh yay! (No Spoilers!)

2007-07-29T01:10:58Z

Extremely excited about Harry Potter!! I actually wasn't going to read it until the price of the book went down (45.00 CAD is wayyyy to expensive for me to pay for a book) So i was going to wait till my mom was finished and have her send it to me...but FH and I went to Safeway (our local groccery store) and there it was...there was a big bin of the newest book for 25.00 CAD!! I was sooo excited....no idea WHY it was so cheap...the clerk said its because its a groccery store all the books are like 1/2 off...so I ran to the other end of the store where they carry a million other books and yes its true..!! Books that are usually 10.99 are on sale for 5.99!! Ah very excited!! This is what I get excited over because I am a huge book nerd!!! FH on the other hand is extremely excited because we have cancelled the cable and are getting sattelite....silly boys!! Anyways im off to read HP!!! Eek yay!!! Ciao everyone!!

Till death do us part...

2007-07-09T09:14:26Z

Well we are in Dryden....and probably good timing! Bj's grandpa is almost gone...barely holding on. It wasn't until we finally arived and all the family was there at the hospital that he told us to call the priest and have him come do the final blessing. He wanted to wait until everyone was here until he lets himself go. They have stopped giving him meds and antibiotics and are just giving him morphene to help with the pain. So it is only time until he has passed. It's been a very tough 24 hours...tiring and stressfull. It amazes me how fast cancer kills the body...we had just found out the end of May that he had cancer and now July 9th he is almost gone.
Everyone is holding up ok...we all have our moments...its so tough for me to see others go through pain and to watch others watch their loved ones in pain...I have relized how emotional I am..I don't know how many times I have had to go and leave the hospital because I can not handle seeing everyone cry. The first sign of a tear from someone and I have lost it...tears are flowing everywhere. Mary has finally come to terms with what is happening and wants him to go...he needs to go to a better place and watch over us all. I can only hope to have 1/2 the marriage that marv and mary have had. Over 50 years and still in love. She has not left his side these past 8 days in the hospital. Holding his hand the whole time...waiting to be there for him when he decides it is him time to leave. I guess a part of me becomes emotional just seeing that...makes me relize that a marriage can work..no matter..through everything. Bj asked me today outside the room when we get to that point if I can be beside him, to hold him till death do us part...and I practically burst in tears...its so emotional for me to sit there and picture that being us...to start a life together and finish a life together is all I could ask for.
Right now we (well I am because everyone is trying to get some rest) are sitting here pretty much waiting for that phone call. The hospital is only about 1 block away and we have spent 24 hours there...we decided to all come home and get some rest..im not sure anyone can really rest at a time like this...
My only wish right now is that Marv can go peacefully...to see the light at the end of this tunnel...and watch over us, guide us in the right direction. He will be dearly missed at our wedding, as we will reserve a seat for him because he had always told us "there is no way in hell I will miss your wedding Bj no matter where I am!" Bj is the oldest grandson and will be the first to be married, so in return a seat with a single rose will be reserved for Grandpa Kirouac..who is looking down on us...letting us know that he is watching out for us every step we take.
God bless you Marvin.
Love always and forever,
Emily

Mini Vacation!

2007-07-06T09:49:09Z

MINI VACATION HERE I COME THANK GOSH!!!!!!!
Bj and I are going on vacation for a week...well I call it vacation..he calls it an unfortunate event! His grandfather who he is every close to is in the hospital passing away from Liver Cancer. I feel so upset about it all but I guess I have a different outlook on death. Grandpa Kirouac is 75 years old..which to some may not sound that old...but if someone said "here sign on the dotted line, you will die at 75" I'd do it! He has lived a very long and great life..something that is worth celebrating. Unfortunatly it is not the best reason for family and friends to get together..but I just see it as a time to celebrate someones life. I know at my opa's death/funeral we had a great time. Being able to sit around with family I have not seen in almost 5 years and reminise about our own personal memories of Opa was great! Lots of laughter and tears....so to me I see this as an opportunity to celebrate grandpa kirouacs life..talk about the memories everyone has had with him! unfortunatly bj doesn't see death that way...Oh well..not everyone can have a positive outlook on death.

Not to much else new really...very HOT weather here this past week...wedding plans are PRETTY much on hold seeing as how I am stressed to the max about something that isn't happening until october 11, 2008. I want to plan plan plan but my mother and FMIL are like "oh dont plan yet, its to early..stop planning..push things back...dont rush" and me im like NO I JUST WANT TO PLAN AND HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANIZED AND SET!!!!!!!! I mean common..5 months of planning and ALL I have done is a scrap piece of paper with a list of ppl we want to invite...GRRRR totally Pissing me off!!!!!!!

Ok phew venting is done!! have a good week everyone!

Life...or something like it!

2007-07-01T21:33:38Z

Sometimes I'm not even sure WHAT to talk about...or where to even start! Basically I guess since this is my first post I'll keep it mainly to about my life currently and what I do with it!
I am NOT your typical 22 year old! I am currently engaged to be married October 11/2008 to my amazing fiance B.J. We are just VERY plain and ordinary folks! I being the young outgoing 22 year old am not like most others. I do NOT find the pleasures in going to the bars! This was just recently discovered last night when I went out with my girlfriends to a little old place called "essies". It's the country bar here in town..or so they try to classify it was a country bar....if you call playing one country song ever 3 hours a country bar then ok! I think I lasted MAYBE 45 minutes before I called up b.j. and told him to get his ass down here and pick me up! Most people are amazed that I would just rather sit at home and watch a hockey game with my friends then go out clubbing..but anyways totally off topic..where was I?!? Oh yes...not your typical 22 year old...I have a very old soul, or so I am told. I find pleasures in the simple things in life! I used to be party animal, go getter until i met b.j. who is also not your typical 26 year old guy! He's never been drunk, never partied, nothin..just a personal choice of his which I FULLY support!!!
We have been engaged for almost 5 months! Bj proposed to me on February 10, 2007 just before going to dinner at the Keg. We have been together almost a year and a half. Many people ask us what is the rush to be engaged and married within just over a year? I guess to us we know we are the ones for eachother..so why keep dating for 4 years when we could be married and starting our life by then?!? We have bother been in very long term relationships before and know what we want and do not want in a partner! Our parents are VERY happy for us..my family loves loves loves him and his parents love love love me (or so I am told lol) It's great to have the support of our famiy...our family's are VERY important to us so it's a big deal that they approve!
So yes..being engaged for almost 5 months you'd think I have LOTS planned!! HAHAHA UM NO! Let's see...we have picked our wedding party which is going to be extremely small! I *think* I have found THE dress..but I keep looking around to sSo ee if there is another one..just to make sure..and we have picked the date and the location! And yes that is all...lol...I think I need to hurry up and get my arse in gear and get some planning done...but basically I have NO idea where to start!!!!!!!!!!
So I basically thing that is all I am going to write for now..I tend to ramble and I COULD go on and on and on for another hour or so...but I'll leave it for another post another time!!
