Summer Blues

It's coming to that time of year again. The days are getting shorter. It's getting colder.

Lately I have seen several of my favourite bloggers posting about their excitement about the impending end of summer, and the beginning of fall.

I'm always conflicted at this time of year.

I like fall because it means this:

Pretty colours

Fall Fashion

Warm Boots

And scarves

Fall TV

Unfortunately it also means the end of this:

Summer Fashion:

Hot Weather:

And the rapid arrival of this:

Yeah I think I will keep my mini skirts, tank tops and warm weather.

Some Odds and Ends

Let's begin with finding out who is as excited about Glee tonight as I am?!?!

I have literally been waiting for this episode for weeks. I rushed through all of the first season just so I would be ready. I LOVE Britney. C took me to one of her concerts last August and it was AMAZING. Glee tributes are always pretty good, so I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

I had a self appointed day off today. I was supposed to have class from 11:30 - 2:30 but when I woke up it was POURING rain. I decided I really didn't want to fight this weather to catch a bus to get to one class. So I didn't. Instead I'm having a nice day that consists of sleeping in, meeting C for lunch and catching up on the 5 million readings that I am drowning in.

I realized that when I did a post on all of my birthday presents I left out this beauty....

This is the bigger bookshelf that I desperately needed, given to me by my brother and his girlfriend. When I first saw it I was sure that I would not be able to fill it. As you can see this is not the case, and I'm probably going to need another one any time now. In any case, I absolutely love it.

The final thing I wanted to cover in this post is the way I ended my summer (I realize I'm backtracking a bit again). The last weekend of the summer, C and I went to Wonderland with some good friends of ours, A and J.

C won me a carebear, who A and I quickly decided to name grumpy bear, and from that point on Grumpy bear made an appearance in all photo's

This little girl we didn't know. She was in line in front of us with her mom and little sister. The little sister couldn't go on the ride, and the mother had to stay and the other little girl could not go without adult accompaniment, so they asked us if we would ride with her. C volunteered, introduced himself to her and then took her on the ride, making sure she had the time if her life. It's moments like this that make me fall in love with C all over again. I was watching him with this little girl, someone who he had only known 5 minutes, and she was having such a great time with him. I can definitely say I spent most of the time that they were on that ride picturing the way C will be with our own children. having a husband that loves kids just as much as I do was always a number one priority and watching C in moments like this, makes me absolutely sure that I made the right decision.
Ok, I'm done being sappy. One last picture of all four of us

It was a fun day. We went on so many rides, ate way too much food and caught up with good friends that we don't get to see all that often.

And I know I was going to end there, but I have one final thought.

We picked up our wedding rings on Sunday!!!!!! And then C took them away because he is under the impression that I may put mine on when he isn't looking (that may or may not be true).

He is also pretty adament that we keep the rings to ourselves until the actual day. SO I'm not allowed to show anyone, other than our mothers. I would post pictures on here, but because I do have some bridesmaids that read this, who cannot be trusted to close the page when they are told to (Sorry girls, but we both know you would all look and just tell me you didn't), so everyone has to suffer.

This is what I do when the Fiance tells me to be productive.....

So it is my last official day of summer. Tomorrow I go back to York University, and back to the day to day stress of school. I'm actually kind of excited. I'm the type of person that needs to be busy or else I go completely stir crazy, and being stuck at home with nothing to do doesn't help. So I believe I was driving the fiance crazy with the endless text messages while he was at work, so he told me to do something productive with my last day off, and here we are!

So I figure lets give an update on my oh so interesting life since the last time I blogged.....

I believe we can start with the birthdays! My birthday was the 28th of August and I turned 24 and the fiance turned 26 on the 31st, so it was a bit crazy but lots of fun. He got me Britney Spears tickets as a end of school/birthday present so we went there on the 20th. On a side note, I LOVE Britney Spears! She reminds me of my highschool years, and I think she really gets the raw end of the deal with the media and such. But yeah, I love her and I'm not afraid to admit it. So the concert was slightly out of town and we had to drive there, and of course, the concert falls on the one day where tornado's decide to land in various places all over the GTA. I'm Canadian, I'm not accostomed to things like tornado's, so naturally, this scares the crap out of me. I did not get the pleasure of seeing an actual tornado, but we were driving in the biggest thunder storm I have ever been in my life.

The above picture is out of the fiance's car window on the drive up, at about 5:30 in the evening. So yeah, despite the fact that the fiance insists that he is a good driver and that we were perfectly fine, I was terrified. But in any case we survived, I got to see Britney (which was AMAZING by the way....well worth the money that fiance paid to take me!)

Next were the family parties, a must in both of our families. On my actual birthday "C" came over and brought me pretty flowers..........and then took me shopping (spending more money) and then back to my house for BBQ and cake, not really all that interesting or worth writing about. Saturday was the exhibition, a tradition for our birthdays with the fiance's family. Again lots of fun, but not overly interesting.

Last Sunday was the friends birthday party (we did it on a Sunday because Monday is a holiday here). So we had people over for a BBQ and then went to a club afterward. My friends, being the loving people that they are proceeded to get me smashed, which is not difficult because I don't drink well. Anyways it was a fun night of drinking and dancing. nd of course, I got presents (are you getting that I LOVE to get presents?) Not going to show them all but here is what my bestest bought for me:


Hence why she is the bestest!

Anyways, I guess this has wasted enough of my day and I should probably find something actually productive to do on my last day off!
