Anniversary Time!
Filed Under Wedding, katelyn, love | 17 Comments
October 27, 2007 was the day Scott and I got married! So today, October 27, 2008 we get to celebrate our FIRST anniversary as a married couple! It was a great year, we went on our honeymoon to Costa Rica, got used to living with each other, laughed lots, and had lots of fun with friends and each other. We are both excited to find out what’s in store for us in the future!
We don’t have much time to celebrate today, we are both working and tonight I have a Halloween party with the brownies. We both decided (separately) that we should go out for ice cream after brownies. What can we say, great minds think alike. We also plan on eating the top tier of our wedding cake! So excited for that!

Sunday at the fair
Filed Under katelyn, life, photography | 3 Comments
My Sunday at the fair was a funny one. As usual I went to the community centre to help with the registration for the baby show that my aunt organizes. Mic and I love signing up the parents and babies so we can see all the cuteness! This year we knew a few babies so that makes it more exciting. Scott (my husband) came up and said he wanted to pre-register a baby, for 2012 (ummm we have to wait that long?)… haha funny boy.
We had one mom register that said something a bit odd, she didn’t want to go up with the baby (she also had a 2 year old with her), but wanted her sister-in-law to bring up her baby and her SIL’s baby! And these babies were only 3 months old. I asked the mom if she wanted me to look after the 2 year old, but she said no, she wanted to look after him… umm okay, if you think your SIL can handle 2 babies up there, then okay! Then my aunt talked to her and offered me to go up with the baby… and she said yes! I felt like a fraud walking up there (all these moms went through so much, and I get handed a baby and say, okay go on up), and it was pretty funny, considering it is a small town and I knew there would be lots of talk… ‘one of the blonde girls has a kid??’ It was especially funny when I was up sitting on the stage, next to a friend when I see Scott’s parents walk in. I gave them a little wave and laughed, and had to wonder what they were thinking.
Then when I was up there I realized I didn’t know the babies name. Luckily I was sitting next to the babies aunt, so I sheepishly asked her… umm what is this babies name? Gosh I’m a bad mother! It was quite the experience! My aunt took a picture so if she sends it to me I’ll try and put it up… it probably looks pretty funny. At some fall fairs, the point of the baby show is to find the cutest baby in town. Not at ours! At our fair the judges award every baby with a prize based on their looks, outfit, or personality.”My” baby won the biggest flirt award!
After all that fun was over the rest of the day was pretty normal.. as usual I took more pictures and walked around with Scott’s parents and then met up with more friends to watch the demolition derby.

Thoughts

Lately I really feel like life is just passing by as I wait for it to get better. I’m not going to get into specifics about my job, but basically I’m not challenged and always feel unneeded in the office, where I work alone. I never in a million years would say that I’m a people person but I AM a person who relies on always having people around for company. I guess you could say that stemmed from growing up with 4 sisters and never being alone. During my day I come in contact with exactly 0 people. Unless I’m lucky and maybe 1 person comes in.. And so the job search continues and I am going stir crazy here.
I took a long lunch break outside today, sitting on the grass in the sunshine reading a book. I love sitting on grass, it’s so cushy and always smells so nice and fresh. I’m currently reading P.S. I Love You, it’s a good book, but so sad, and I’m such a sucker that I aways cry when reading sad books!
Last night I got my 2nd ever pedicure! I had to warn the woman doing my pedicure that I am kind of ticklish, I’m slowly growing out of it, but some ticklishness still remains. Laura and I went at the same time, we sat in relaxing massaging chairs, got lower leg and feel massages, exfoliated, buffed and polished. I chose a cheery pink colour, which coincidentally matched the shirt I was wearing at the time, I didn’t notice until we had left! Here are some pictures of my pretty toes that I took at lunch. Sorry to those of you hate toes! I have reallllly long toes and big feet (I’m the shortest in the family but I have the biggest feet, how unfair!). The picture below doesn’t really show off the colour very well, apparently I’m bad at taking pictures of my feet.
After getting the pedicure Laura and I walked around the mall, while walking through The Bay (that’s the Hudson’s Bay Company for all you American folk) and I spritzed myself with a random perfume. Well let me tell you I think I am in love! It’s Coco Mademoiselle, and smells so yummy! I am wearing the same jacket I was last night while at the mall and I can’t stop smelling this one part of my jacket because it smells so good!
And my last thought: We finally will get to play baseball tonight! For once, it’s not raining on a Wednesday! On Wednesdays in our town there is ladies league softball! Mic and Lau and I all play on the same team, we are on the youngest team. We aren’t that great but we still have fun! For the past 3 Wednesday’s in a row it has rained and we have not gotten to play, I think today it is safe to say that we will be playing! I don’t see a cloud in the sky.

6 Non-important facts about Katelyn
Filed Under katelyn, life | 5 Comments
This is the result of a Tag.. Mom tagged each one of us, this will be a challenge to see if each one of us does it.
Here are the Rules for this Topic:
*Link to the person who tagged you.
*Post the rules on your blog.
*Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
1. I HATE doing nothing, give me even 1 day with nothing to do and I will be a mad and bored girl by the end of the day, I always have to find something to do.
2. I really don’t care if people call me Katelyn, Kate or Katie (though I rarely get called Katie, mostly only by my aunts). Whenever people meet me they normally ask what I go by, please don’t ask, call me what you want (as long as it’s nice).
3. On the names note, I LOVE it when people talking to me and say my name. I love it so much that when I talk to people I try to say their name because it always makes me feel special. It makes me feel like they actually care and want to talk to me.
4. I LOVE to drive. Whenever I go anywhere with my sister, I’m the driver, it’s one place where I like to be in charge. And trust me you do not want to be in a car with me if I’m not driving, I’m the worst backseat driver ever. Just any any of the other fiveblondes.
5. My ears crack, most people crack their knuckles, but I can crack my ears. And I love making other people hear it, I will press my ears near their ears and it goes crraaccckkk. Also my right thumb cracks, but thats it, no fingers. And on that ears topic my left ear has a small point on it, I think in one of my past lives I must have been an elf.
6. I am a hat ADDICT. I LOVE wearing hats, winter hats that is. I would wear one all day if I could, I love it when my head is warm. I wear them at work sometimes, but mostly on days when I think no one will come in because they will think I’m crazy.
