Birthday comes early

My birthday arrived a week early this year! I got the call from Note-able yesterday that my new guitar arrived. I love the colour and the look of it: an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top in translucent blue (not quite a Gibson, but close enough for me). The only complaint I have is the amber knobs. I'm going to look into replacing them with chrome ones to match the other hardware.


So far I've had about an hour to play it, and I can't wait for tomorrow to come so I can play some more.

I forgot my camera in Crossfield last weekend; better pictures to come when I get it back.

Weekend Excitement

This weekend was a busy one. We had a couple friends come down from Calgary for the weekend. My friend Melanie, who I grew up with in Revelstoke, and Josh's friend Mike, who he grew up with in Crossfield. Full house, but lots of fun. As usual, Mike brought some group video games with him. Was great fun. But the best game he brought was Rockband. Now, Josh plays this at work quite often, but I hadn't experienced it yet. It's beyond what Guitar Hero is! :) You have a full band, drums, guitar, bass guitar and singer. :) So I snapped a few pics of us playing!


We've got Josh singing.


We've got Mike drumming.


We've got the oh so enthused Melanie (she refused to play). Couldn't even get her to play Dance Dance Revolution (which is very tiring when your almost 7 months pregnant).


Here's a group shot. I think I liked the drums best. Guitar and bass were too much like guitar hero, and I wasn't brave enough to sing!


Also this weekend, my friend Jen threw a baby shower for me with a bunch of school friends. It was a blast! She made quite the feast, and planned a few fun games. I also snapped a few pictures of this event. I realized upon loading the photos on the computer, that I hadn't used my camera since last summer when I was working for the City of Revelstoke. Still had tombstone pictures on it!


Some of the girls at the shower (Melanie, Andrea, and Marissa).


Jen made a massive and delicious spread! Too bad she didn't tell us not to eat lunch first ;).


Check out this awesome cake Jen made. :) It was just as wonderfully tasty as it is wonderfully decorated.

Well...

Things have been very hectic around here.... and when there's time to crash, we've done just that.

School is busy with projects and exams. Last project of the semester is due next week, so will be nice to have that out of the way, leaving only exams and lab assignments. I sure am looking forward to being done school forever! :)

The little one is moving A LOT! Barely any rest for her! It's actually really amusing to watch her movements through my belly. :) Although all that movement is really not helping with my sleep at all. I think she'll be a rambunctious one! We've done a little bit of shopping in preparation for her arrival, and are starting to gather the things we'll need. 12 more weeks!

I have a pile of cards to share, but haven't been able to get pictures of them yet, so they sit and wait. Josh has also launched my website... but I've been slacking and it doesn't have any content yet. I'll keep you posted, and give you an address once I actually have something on it to show!

Hopefully I'll have pictures soon!
