Merry Ho-Ho

Merry belated Christmas. This year was the first year that I was not able to make it my families house for Christmas. I mean I do get to make it there but I have to wait an extra 4 days to celebrate Christmas. And this year I was kinda alone. Jo had to work night shift and I was left to dwell on how lonely I am. This hole being 5 1/2 hours away and my family saying that they won't come up it's to far out of the way. (my dad will b/c he is always doing business up here) just drags a girl down you know....

Anyway I'm not going to sit here and type on something so depressing when it is time of cheer and love so I will talk about my sister. My sister Banana is 9 months pregnant and hating it so. I guess over this holiday her feet swelled up to the size of her leg and there was no definition of ankle there at all. I have a cute picture that I will post later. Her tummy looks deformed but at least she is smiling in this one.

Also with this Christmas I was able to finally unwrap my Christmas tree. I bought this tree a year and a half ago and was unable to put it up b/c we moved into Jo's mom and dad's house and all our stuff had to go into storage. So last Christmas I had gone on a Avon binge and bought mostly all of my decorations from them. So this year I got so impatient for the beginning of December that I had brought my tree out and went thru all my decorations b/c I had forgotten what I had bought. Jo bought me the rest of what I needed to decorate it and this is our tree x2: ( I couldn't delete the one pic.)

So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Love Fifi and Jo

plus LoLa and Frisbee

I would like to thank......

Booyah everyone. This is going to be the first post for JoJo and Fifi. I think I will be writing most of them but JoJo may dip his pen into the creative ink. I had another place I blogged but I don't know it seemed a little boring.

Well I am going to give you the low down on our life. Jo and me met in November of 03 and have since been dating. Everything changed when I decided to go back to school.. a week before I was to start Jo recived a phone call from a job he applied for months back. Fort McMurray was a calling and looking for him to join the Suncor family. They hired him and thus began our whirlwind of 9 months. A week before he left Jo decided that it was time to fill the empty void in the cockles of his heart and thus LoLa Brigada was welcomed into our family. She is our Doodle and the cutest dog in the world. So roughly a week later our families got together and celebrated me going back to school and Jo getting his new job. Tha night was a nightmare. We couldn't get a restaurant that would take like 12 people and the wait was 45min to 1 hour. So my dad suggested Zambellis in Leduc and that's where we ended up. Dinner was great and I ate alot. Everyone told me to save room for dessert and and I was too full from dinner. Anyways to make a long story short we received napkins for dessert and Jo offered one to me and I refused thus him literally throwing the napkins in my direction while taking off the napkin revealing the little box.

Next thing I knew he was on his knee asking for my hand in marriage and sweating a young child away. My mom is crying and I start crying and accept. Short and sweet kinda.

After that it was nine months of bus tickets, lonely nights, and studying.

In August of 2006 we purchased (with the help of Suncor) our first home. We painted and cleaned up a bit because it was digusting!!! We moved up everything in September and went on a shopping spree purchasing a new living room couch and loveseat and a new bedroom suite just so we seemed a little more grown up.

I moved up to Fort McMurray at the beginning of November and recently got a job at a physio clinic in Thickwood.

That's it and that's all right now. I finished most of my Christmas baking and finished all of my Christmas shopping and now I think I will hit the sack. I have a lot to do tomorrow and Jo is going on his night rotation. So have a Merry Christmas and all the Best in 2007!!

Toodles
