SOMETHING NEW!!!

So my something new, different, exciting goal is going great. I am almost 100% successful, and if there has been a day that I have not done something it is because I have been to busy, which is a good thing because that was the point to the goal in the first place. Get Busy and Get Active. Some of the highlights included, going and playing in the rain, sleeping under the stars on our deck, making friends with a girl at work that I never thought I would get along with. These coming up weeks are going to be full of I think even better ones. Going and getting a membership at the Kitscoty Library, doing a 8 km run, visiting family in barhead, and hopefully try wakeboarding. If anybody out there is board with there life right now give this a shot, it is so much fun, I have found interests I never knew I had and for the most part have kept my life pretty busy these past couple of weeks.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Yay 6 years today. I can't believe how fast time flies, What is even funnier is how at every anniversary I say this. I guess I just have to realize that life is only speeding up and not slowing down.

I have to say they have been 6 wonderful, crazy, exciting, challenging years, and I would not want to share them with anybody else but Mark.

I thought it would be fun to remember some of those moments.

Year 1. Went on Honeymoon to Mexico, moved to Lloydminster after 9 months of marriage, traded in my neon for a Jeep. Found out that living with relatives is never a good idea.

Year 2. Bought a 2005 cobalt, and a 1 lb cobalt ( this cobalt is our cat the other cobalt is our car), went to visit my parents on there mission for Christmas.

Year 3. Mark got a Job with Devon, Bought our first house, got in a crazy accident on the highway and totaled our Jeep, also bought our sweat, adorable Lily.

Year 4. Went on a trip to California, bought our 2nd house (which we currently still live in), bought Molly.

Year 5. Went on a trip to Colorado, bought our truck, put a deck and hot tub off of our bedroom, and did not buy any pets.

Year 6. Went on a trip to Florida, both finished some schooling, had my appendix removed, and again did not buy any pets.

Year 7. Hopefully get pregnant, find out I passed my schooling, finish our basement, and again go another successful year without buying any pets.

FOREVER YOUNG!!!

On Monday we were graced with one of the craziest rainstorms ever. It just kept raining and raining and raining. However even with all the wind, rain, and hail it was still pretty warm outside.
So with there being no power on in the house, and two people bored to tears, what did we do to make us happy, go play in the rain and jump in puddles. Who knew a couple of garbage bags and a lot of rain could make for such a fun night.

HEAVENLY!!!!

Today Mark and I went to my favorite restaurant in town Tasty K's. It is this wonderful Donair cafe that this sweet family in Lloydminster started. It is so delicious every bite just makes your mouth water. Since my surgery we have not been able to go, but today we decided that I deserved a special treat and of course I thought of no better place than Tasty K's to do this.

1 Jumbo Donair with chesse
1 Regular Donair without cheese
1 giant cookie
1 bowl of Potato and Bacon soup
1 bottle of Dasani water
1 bottle of Apple Juice
= a grand total of
$27.35
and worth every penny.

If you ever come to Lloydminster or live in Lloydminster and have not tried this heavenly place you must go now, because your are missing out terribly.

TENT TRAILER!!!!!!

We almost bought one 2 months ago, but were strong and realized we need to pay off our Hot Tub first, but once again as it is an absolutely beautiful day that desire has come back. I even found a really nice one on Kijiji that is very reasonably priced. So I ask myself can that justify it, probably not. Hopefully next year though once the hot tub is all payed off.

sorry the pics are blurry but this is the sweet ride I want to buy, it is only $3700 and it is in really good condition.

Inspiring Message from the church

My-New-Life

TWELVE!!!!!!

Crazy I could not believe it myself, I thought the total count was going to be 10 with the pair I just bought. The thing that sucks now is I went for an eye exam the other day and my RX almost doubled. So I currently only have one pair of glasses with my correct prescription in it. It will cost me $1000 dollars to change all the lenses, so because our health care spending account is all used up for the year, it looks like I have to go the rest of the year with only one pair of glasses.

WHAT A GOOF!!!!

I can think of no other title to use but that. I totally realized why I have been such a blog obsessed loser this past month.
#1. Now that school is all done I am not studying every night for hours on end.
#2. This past 6 weeks I have not been able to work out, only walks, thanks to my surgery.
So pretty much I have no life now so my daily routines have consisted of going to work, come home, eat, take the dogs for a walk, and play around on my blog and the internet for a couple of hours, then go to bed. Wow I could have been doing so many more productive things with my life. Read like 10 books, scrapbook all my vacation pictures, done service for others in need of it, and the list goes on and on. So because I have been so lazy this past month it is back to goal setting.
#1. Back to only going on the Internet for 20 minutes a day.
#2. Do something new, different, interesting, or exciting everyday. It doesn't need to be something I have never done before, just something that is not apart of my daily routine.
#3. Now that my 6 weeks are done I am allowed to work out again, yay, so back to running every night for an hour.
#4. Make some more friends, and spend more time with my wonderful friends I have now.

I was so busy for so long that when I finally got a break I can't believe how much I took advantage of it. I guess sometimes we need moments like this to help us realize how important life really is and to not take it for granted. Life is short and special and we need to live every minute to the fullest. So don't worry I don't hate any of you for not posting comments, I was just getting so bored with my life, that I let my blog become on obsession instead of a little thing in my life that I do now and then. So here is to learning new things and having new adventures in life.

MYSELF OR FOR OTHERS????

I am asking myself this question today, because when I first started writing my blog I said to myself this is really for me, a way to keep track of my goals and write down fun memories throughout the years. When I first looked into blogging I thought it was cool that you could turn them into books and said I would do that at the end of every year. It kind of acts as my journal, excluding really really personal posts as those are only meant for my real journal. I had lots of family and friends that were doing it and thought it would be really fun and easy. Well it has been really fun and easy, however these past 5 or 6 posts I have written have got a total of 3 comments, which is really bothering me. I am asking myself questions like, I hope this person is not mad at me and that is why they are not posting comments? or I commented on there last blog why are they not commenting on any of mine? That makes me sit back and ask myself do I really do this blog for myself or is it for others, to show them all the great things I do, all the sad things that are happening in my life so they have pity on me, and to make others jealous because "my life is great and I am great". Ahh I really don't know. All I know is I hope not. So I have decided to come up with an idea, or a goal I guess.
I am not going to look at my blog again after this post until I have another post to make, which as of right now I think my next post is about glasses and that one is not being put up until wednesday. If I get tempted and look before Wednesday and find myself going directly to the comment section seeing what everybody commented about this post, or nobody commented about this post ( and get mad) then I am done. No more blogging for Kalinda. I know this seams harsh but I just don't feel like that is a reason for blogging, it yes should be to let others you love and care for now about your happy and sad times, and see there's, but I should not be getting upset if they are not writing comments or even reading it as we all have very busy lives. So hopefully Wednesday there will be another post on my blog about glasses, if not I guess I don't have the will power I thought I had.
