the pursuit of happiness

The ever so dwindling amount of spare time I have had as of late, has given rise to the longest absence from my blog to date. Hardly enough time to breath, let alone get my thoughts into the universe. Wow, what a whirlwind of a couple of weeks. From an absolutely gorgeous wedding in Kelowna to moving into a new apartment and meanwhile starting up a new semester (and everything in between) I have kept more than occupied.

First things first. The wedding. Wow, was it ever beautiful. However, currently, and to my utter dismay, Desmond has all of the pictures. I'm so good at letting him hold on to things ... or in other, more honest words... forgetful. Although, justice can never be done, here's a preview of the pictures to come of the wedding of my good friend Kelvin James Nicholls and his bride Helena Paige Nicholls.

Tunnel of Love

simply spectacular. 

Among the events of the past few weeks, I have moved. Also with pictures to follow. The only thing I don't like about my new home is that its brand new, has every appliance you need (including a dishwasher), no roommates (with the same cost), and it comes a ton of space and privacy - wait did I say dislike?.. silly me. The actual thing I dislike, most in their right mind would jump at the chance to acquire, however I'm not sure I've ever been in my right mind- the vast amount of privacy. Privacy does not bode well for those separated from their family and love. Too much privacy for those people (namely - me) soon turns to loneliness. Hey, at least I have people to miss and look forward to seeing, right? If I remember that, these next 2 weeks will be a breeze. Knowing that no matter how far away, you have people that love you, makes all the waiting and missing worth it.

While on the subject of waiting. One aspect of this silly "waiting game" that has consumed my life has finally come to an end. You are currently reading the blog of a nursing student who was placed in the neonatal intensive care unit in Saskatoon. No. Big. Deal. Just the most exciting piece of nursing-related news since I got my acceptance letter 4 years ago. Thank-you nursing gods. I would just like to say one more time how excited I am.. I'm sure you had no idea. 

Excitement. There has been a lot of that to go around lately. Today, my wonderful best friend and boyfriend sent me an email entitled "Harry Pictures." Maybe normal people wouldn't think this, but my thoughts immediately went to ... is he sending me potter porn? Obviously, just to see what could possibly be so intriguing about my second boyfriend in the nude that my actual boyfriend would have to send them to me.. I immediately opened the email. Just incase you had any doubts... Daniel Radcliffe is not, and I repeat, not my second boyfriend. Harry Potter, the fictional character from 7 J.K. Rowling books, is, however. Much better. I can't cheat with a fictional character now can I.. fact. Anyways.. blah blah blah... so I opened the email. Not Harry Potter porn .. but instead a cleverly titled file containing.. dun dun dun .. Harry Potter 7 part 2 opening night tickets. Best boyfriend ever? I think so. 

Everything good thing must come to an end... and like the last movie of the Harry Potter series, I am seeing on July 15th at 7:10 pm in Moose Jaw, I close this entry. But unlike the last Harry movie, I close this with a quote from a fabulous woman. You may giggle at it like I do, or if you're a male, probably hate it, but here it is none-the-less.
