Renovation Wednesday

So this is what I had come home to at our house yesterday.Your probably wondering "what the heck is is?" That is exactly what I was thinking when I had first seen it too. Basically in these white plastic bags there are thousands of foam particles that have been compressed to form as sheets (kind of like drywall sheets). Now you must be wondering "and why do you have all of this? What is it used for?" Well this summer we are planning on removing our ugly siding and replace it with new siding (still not sure what color but really anything is better the a pukey yellow green color). So we figured since we are removing this siding we should really see about insulating our exterior walls better since in winter our walls are very drafty and cold (this is what happens when you buy an old house). I'm not too sure how long these huge packages of foam will be sitting in our back yard like this, but hey when you get a fantastic deal on something you just have to take it when you can get it.

Oh and I had to help Matt move these from our parking pad to inside the back yard, let me tell you it was hard. Just because it is foam and you would think foam would be light, well guess what its not so light when it is condensed.

Weekend Recap

So this weekend I have to say was pretty slack since Matt was away. I had all these plans to get stuff done around the house since Matt wouldn't be home....but I did nothing productive at all. But I feel totally good about it, sometimes you just need to do nothing.

Friday
Really all I did today was go to work, come home, sit on the couch and watch TV and then go to bed. And really that is all I did, it was great!

Saturday
Today I went to a conflict resolution seminar that was put on at our church for the ministers and their wives. Even though Matt was in Toronto this weekend I still went, but I did have a little bit of fun with it because before Matt had gone he asked me if I was still going to go to the seminar with out him. I told him "why should I go if  my conflict will be in Toronto?" Oh it was funny, we both laughed about it. In our relationship we definitely like to joke around here and there. So back to the seminar it was Saturday morning from 9am to 4pm (it was suppose to be till 5pm but we were able to finish early!)

After the seminar I went home and put comfy clothes on and spent the evening like I did Friday night, but I did make dinner because I didn't have anymore left overs. Also I did do a lot of laundry, I was still trying to catch up from when we had all of those people stay over.

Sunday

Today was a great day because Matt was coming home YAY! In the morning I had church and then we had a shortish choir practice to learn a few new songs. Once I got home it was a mad dash to clean the house before I had to go and pick Matt up from the airport.  Matt kept sending me texts while I was trying to clean so then I finally just told him that I can't keep text right now because I'm trying to get the house clean, he sent me a text that said "lol". That's because when I was in Vancouver that's what he did cleaned the house the day that I was suppose to come home.(If you remember from my Vancouver post that I didn't come home till the next day) Anyways at the Calgary airport they have this awesome new parking lot that is called cell phone parking which means you can park there for free and wait for the person that you are picking up to call you to let you know they are ready for you to pick them up. Well I waited there till Matt had gotten off the plane but then I still went in to the "short term" parking and went into the airport so I could see him come down the escalator. It was perfect timing because just as I was coming around the corner he was about in the middle of the way down the escalator. It was great to see him again, I know it was only for a few days, but still I missed him. As soon as we were together he told me all about his trip and how great it was. I am really happy that he had such and great time and was so pumped about it. Hopefully the next one that he goes on I will be able to go too.

Five Question Friday

Dreams! 

1. What was the happiest dream (aka the best one) dream you ever had? As a kid I dreamed about candy land. (I think it was inspired from a Simpsons episode, where Homer was in either a candy land or chocolate land. I know the Simpsons but I really think that is where it came from). It was a really cool place; I had that dream a number of times as a kid.
As an adult I think I had one that I could get anything that I wanted, as an example if I were walking down the street and I saw something that I liked that someone was wearing I would think of it and then that exact item or outfit would be waiting at home for me in my size and to fit me perfectly. Wouldn’t that be amazing if that was actually able to happen? 

2. What was the worst dream you ever had? As a kid I had this one dream about a witch and I was in her castle and I couldn’t get out and I was being chased. It was really dark with scary movie music and all that. Now that I’m thinking about it again I really hope I don’t dream about it again. I had this quite a few times as a kid.
As an adult my worst dream would have to be ones where people in my life were dying or had died and there was nothing I could do. Just the other night I had one of those dreams, it makes me feel so confused when I wake up. 

3. If you had your choice tonight, what would you dream about? About finding out I was pregnant and living my life with Matt and our children in our dream home. That would be the best dream ever!  

4. If you had your choice again tonight, what dream would you not like to have? Any dream about anyone dying.  

5. What was your wildest dream (the craziest dream you would dare speak of)? Usually the really crazy dreams are the dreams that I can’t remember once I wake up. So I would have to say I really am not sure.

Matt's Leaving

Tomorrow Matt will be going to Toronto for Church business and will be coming home again on Sunday evening. I am going to miss him so much! I know its only for a few days but all last week we had his parents staying at our house so they could be in Calgary to help Karina (our sister in law) with her new baby. So really we haven't had too much time to our selves since I was gone the weekend before last weekend. I know that the time will fly by because I am going to be soooo busy over the next few days, but it will still suck that he will not be around. While he is away I am wanting to work on the basement a little bit more but I don't think I will have enough time to do that . Oh well our renos will be put on hold again.
