Wow have I been gone long? Days 13-18, August 8-August 17, 2010

Wow I have been extremely busy...I've been so tired I fall asleep before I can get on to post.  Between that and trying to finish up my homework (my last day of these mind-wasting classes is August 27th! Yay!)  I made a long trip to Canton on Sunday, just to see my lovely cousin and MOH for a tupperware party and to drop Hailey off to spend the night with her "Aunt" Amber.  Then I had my fireman's training last night from 7-10.  That was fun but also tiring.  I did really well, though!  I've been a member since December 2009 and I'm going to trainings to not only learn the ropes but to exercise.  Last night we had 4 teams of 4 people, and our job was to "donn" our gear (put our gear on as fast as we could- I did like 35 seconds for pants, boots, jacket, helmet and gloves).  Then we quickly decided how to "attack"- I was sent to hook up the hydrant while one ran the pump and 2 ran the hose.  The whole object was to knock over 3 pins that were 75 feet away using water.  Whichever team did it the slowest had to clean up from training.  Well me team consisted of Danny (a returning firefighter who had been on hiatus), Doug (a newbie), Suzie (a jr firefighter- underage) and me (another newbie).  We managed to accomplish the task the fastest with a time of 3 min 29 sec.  Suzie and I was ecstatic.  We beat the CHIEF, TRAINING OFFICER, and SAFETY OFFICER and they were the ones who told us what we were going to do and did their own run to show us how to do it.  Well we spanked their ass!  They said you had 4 people and we only had 2- well I said, yeah, we had 2 GIRLS who didn't know what the hell we were doing, either.  Its a nice gloat!

I FINALLY got the WalMart check!  Yay!  I have one bill taken care of, and I ordered over $100 in clothes today!  At first I felt guilty but then I have to remember I've lost almost 30 pounds over the summer and nothing fits me.  It would SO not be cool for me to walk into a classroom full of kids and have my pants fall down!  Lol that really happened to me this summer (except for walking into a classroom full of kids).  I was working out on the wii and couldn't stop or my score would screw up.  Well in the middle of the parade routine while my fiance and daughter were watching me my shorts just fell to my ankles!  Now they've both seen me in my underwear (obviously) but for some reason they thought that was hilarious and I never turned such a dark shade of red in my entire life! :)

I've also been spending a lot of time on the Wedding Buzz app for facebook.  Lets just say I'm hoping to make some major changes there.

This is a picture of my Grandfather and my daughter taken last christmas.  He is the one that will be walking me down the aisle...347 days from now!  Yikes!

This is my stepfather with my little girl.  She loves all her grandpa's!  For my father-daughter dance I plan on splitting it 3 ways, between my father, step-father, and my grandfather.  My grandfather raised me, my father created me, and my stepfather paid for whatever I wanted!

Ok I know this is totally gross and completely random, but I like looking at the dead fish that washed up on shore, and I take pictures of them too.  They have their own file on my computer!

Another totally random picture...My dearest fiance Dan with our friends newborn (2 month old) baby.  He's going to make a good daddy someday.  His father saw me take this picture and he said, "You have a baby...now that's a scary sight!" lol.

Last but not least I did get to take this pic of our wedding site.  I'm pretty sure the last one I posted was one from March when there were no leaves on the trees.  This is where our ceremony will be, overlooking Gorgeous Lake Ontario!
