The first picture is of a cute hedgehog I have at work! Isn't he cute! The are nocturnal so it's really fun to see them in the day time! If I ever get another pet i think I'll be getting one! They are quiet, cute, fun and not smelly! Once they become attached to you they bond really well!   

       The weather has been so amazing lately! It's gorgeous! I've been biking quite a bit now, and absolutely love it. Getting back into shape! I took some pictures going over the Old Bridge the other day and thought I’d share the majestic scenery with you! It was really cool cause when I took a picture of the water it captured reflection of me and the bridge! The train was just a bonus!

Girlfriends and I had some fun last weekend and took some fun pictures. :)  I thought I would share a couple with you!

That Time of Year

Well, its that time of year isn't it. The snow is just about gone and the tulips are saying "I'm finally here!" One can see out in the field little tunnels in the grass where little creatures burrowed through the winter. It's a wonderful time! The sun is shining and the air is sweat and fresh. All this makes me antsy. I want to go kick a soccer ball around, but the ground is still too soft and wet. I would love to go hiking but the trails are to mucky still.

 The wonderful thing is I get to walk around now. On my lunch hour at work my favorite thing to do is walk around town. I also love to shop, so sometimes I forbid myself to go into certain stores because I know I will come out with something. It’s also the time when you start noticing everything that needs to be done. The fence needs painting, garden needs rota tiling, bridges need fixing and the cow needs brushing. It’s also time to get the quads and dirt bikes out and warmed up. The ground will be hard enough soon to take them for a ride.

Well, I had better go. School is calling my name. Later this afternoon I will be going to help a friend with swimming lessons. It's really interesting. I enjoy it and it keeps me busy. I'll write again when I get a chance. 

What lifeguards shouldnt do

What lifeguards should not do.... hahah WOW is all I have to say. They failed! :) hahahah

Disappointment ...

Just found out that there wont be an NLS class running in my area so I'm going to have to go to the next town to take it. It's not too bad, but it definitely disappointing. I'm now going to have to figure out rides and timings of courses and work schedules. I'll have to take Aquatic emergency Care or Standard First Aid, so I'm still wondering if they will run here or if I'll have to get it somewhere else. Sigh..... I want to be a lifeguard so bad. I'm almost there. I just have one more step to go.

Amazingly Cool Hotel Rooms!

Aren't these Amazing! When I saw them I just had to share! So post a comment and share what rooms are your favorite! They are numbered 1-11. Number 10 is more like a suite, so there are like four different rooms in it.  My Favorite is numbers 1 and 8 :) What are yours?

Living life

Hello,
      Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. Been really busy with school, work, pool activities and life really. :) Everything seems to be going good at the moment. The next couple of weeks are going to be really exciting! Best Friend from Vancouver is coming up so we will be able to spend a couple of days together. Looking forward to some shopping, swimming, hanging and girl time! Woot! Woot! 
      I was able to go to the pool this past couple weeks and do some lengths. Haven't done them in a really long time so I was kind of wondering how my time was going to be but I was surprised. For having not done the timed swim in over a year I was only 1/2 a minutes over my regular time. So now I can only get better. Feeling great! I also was able to conquer my Eggbeater. :) For those who don't know what that is, it's a swift, different type of way to tread water. For some people like my self it's hard to catch on, but i finally got it! I'm feeling really confident now. Looking forward to NLS! Can hardly wait to tell you the truth.
      The snow is almost gone. Spring is in the air, which only adds to my restlessness. Just at that stage of life where you want everything to hurry up. Being active and getting out helps but the feeling is still there. Having no snow on the road helps, cause that now means jogging, biking, hiking, kicking soccer balls around and more outside activities. Now just waiting for it to stop raining. :)

                                      This is a crazy way my girlfriend likes to ride the chair lift :)

                                              What a view!

The Ski hill was amazing!e Loved it! I was able to go up with some of my great friends who only made my day better! The view was majestic! I took so many pictures! I'd be going down and say "Oh wait, I have to take a picture! " Wish I could go up more but i have to work and school keeps me busy. Not to mention my pool activities which really make my weekends full. So when i do have the opportunity to go I do! :)
