America, America....

Today was a fun-filled day of waiting....waiting....and just when you think you're done waiting....just keep waiting....cause we had to wait for a while!!! We also had a delicious lunch at Houston's and then went to the dentist for a cleaning with the hubster.

My hubby is now a Naturalized Citizen of the United States of America. He wasn't actually THRILLED about the idea of the whole process, mainly because it's a lot of money and time to spend when we're moving out of the country in 3 weeks. But it's done and that means we can move to Canada and not be worried abouthaving issues whenever we come to The States to visit family. The Ceremony was insanely uneventful...like seriously awful. We had to be up at 5:30 am to be dressed and ready and out of the door by 7:00 it took an hour to get there and were told wehad a 30 min wait before anything was started. 3 HOURS LATER!!!!! All of the paperwork and sitting in silence was done and the 20 MINUTE "CEREMONY" could be started!!!! I thought I was going to shoot myself. I'm such an impatient person so to just sit in silence.....around people i didnt know.......for 3 hours........was almost unbearable! LUCKILY seeing Leevan look behind and smile at me from time to time made the waiting worth it. He's so freaking handsome :D

After the ceremony I was craving steak so we went to Houston's for an overpriced lunch! It was totally delish and worth it!!! By the time I remembered that I was supposed to take pictures all my of my chicken was torn to bits and only half of my spinach was left. I tried to pretty it up and take some anyways but Lee just told me to give up! lol

Later, we walked around the mall trying to find new shoes for Lee before heading to the dentist for his checkup on the wisdom teeth pulled out 6 months ago. Everthing is looking good so we can go to CA and not worry about needing any extra work before his insurance kicks in!

Finally we came home...jumped into bed and watched The Mechanic. It was surprisingly GOOD! lol I love that guy (can't ever remember his name) He's super sexy and super British which is a very good combination for me!

All in all the day was a success! My husband is no longer an Alien and we had a tummy full of good food and an eye full of a sexy british badass!

I'll end with a pic of the outfit I wore today. Didn't wear the pretty new shoes I got cause it was a wee bit chilly when we left the house the AM. But I did wear some pretty Jessica Simpson heels I bought a couple of months ago.

:D

sorry about the cheesy mirror pic. i'm pretty sure i packed my tripod :/

ciao all

must share!!!

saw this and had to post:

things i bought this week!!!

i figured this is a fun thing to have for a blog because I'm always buying something new and fun!

Yesterday, I bought some fabulous shoes from Nordstrom Rack! They were $34.95 with 50% off!!! They're so freaking pretty! My aunt bought me a pair of the same brand( Seychelles) last year for my birthday and sadly those shoes don't fit perfectly and can only be worn for a VERY short amount of time! lol These are wedged sandals so they fit much more comfortably and I'm hoping to wear them tomorrow for Lee's big day (he's becoming an American!) I'll take pics of my outfit and post them for you to see tomorrow!

I also bought some pretty new undies from Target :D they're thongs and were 5 for $20 and super worth it. lol (leevan really liked them!)

Lastly I bought some lotion from Jergens that gradually tans which is something I've been wanting for a while. I LOVE being in the sun but it's so bad for skin that I try not to be in it as much and if I am I normally wear sunblock on my face! So, it's hard to get the color I want. With this, I'm hoping to be the color I love while protecting the skin I love!

The week definitely isn't over so I'm sure I'll be updating this sporadically.

living with family----it ain't easy

My husband and I have been living with some family while we wait for our move. It hasn't been the easiest time int he world but it definitely hasn't been the hardest thing to do either. My aunt likes her home a specific way... I get that. We're not used to it and because of that we choose to just stay out of her way and make it so that we're kind of invisible. She doesn't like that! So, we try and make ourselves useful when we can. We offer to help when we can and I know that's it's not enough but sometimes I feel as if I'm being treated as a "lepper" because of it. I wish so hard that we weren't moving in with another family and that we'd just have our own home again. It's so hard to be someone we're not and I know it's not easy for my aunt and family as well. I just can't wait to be done with this whole situation and back on our own 2 feet.

1 week down!

I cannot believe that's we're already 1 week closer to our move! It seriously just seems like the month of May started and we're already almost over...kinda! lol

We have a lot going on this week. Today was Mother's Day so, to all you mommy's out there I hope you had a wonderful day! Tomorrow, I have a dentist appointment to get some cavities taken care of. Wednesday is Lee's citizenship ceremony and Thursday our friend Max is coming to move the last bit of our stuff! All we'll have left to move when we leave are our clothes and bathroom stuff! I cannot believe we're almost there! I'm sure you're all excited about it too, that way I have something else to write about! LOL

Anywhos, hockey is on and my hubby is a waitin

night

It's MAY!!!!

It's FINALLY May! It seems that ever since I told my job that I'm leaving and moving to Canada that time itself has stopped!!! However, with the month of May now in session as a confirmation of the clock ticking it just feels SO REAL!

The next couple of weeks are going to be immensely busy, I have dinners with friends I haven't seen in a while, dinners with friends I've just made and am going to be SO SAD to leave :(

I have farewell parties for my husband in Manhattan and our own going away party to plan! It's just A LOT and now, with only 4 weekends to get all this in it's going to be a circus! On top of all the plans we have made we still have to pack! I know we'll be fine and everything will work out in the end so I'm just going to focus on the positive and be excited for everything!

I'm having Sunday Dinner with my bestie and her family today! :D

I'm Back!!!!

OK. I know I totally disappeared for like 2 months and I really don't have any reason for doing so. It was kind of a mental thing and I just took a break from the blog. Well, now, I'm back! Full Force!

I have SO much to talk about and so many new and exciting things to experience and I'm dying to share them all with you!

We have a MOVING DATE! My husband is becoming an American Citizen on May 11 and from there we're literally counting down the weeks until our BIG move to Canada. June 2nd UNLESS.... we decide to leave earlier in which case we'd be leaving May 28th! Either way works for me. :D

I'm going to start a Healthy Life Style again. Though, I will not be practicing the Idiot Proof Diet again. It was a great "short-term" plan but in the long run I love food too much to not allow carbs into my life. It was SUPER unfair! I won't be starting it until after the move...only because I work in a bakery and that's just ridiculous to think that I have that kind of will power!

So yeah...LOTS coming up in just the next couple of weeks and I'll be sure to keep you posted as they unfold. hopefully after we're all settled I'll start posting daily which is what I'd really like to keep up with. We'll see!
