OneVersary Today :-)

My OneVersary you ask?
Today i have been living in America for ONE whole year!

Though for me it feels like ive been here awhile which i guess is both good and bad. My cousin Jason told me "it feels like only yesterday we were meeting" lol.

I can't believe it has been a year already, i wonder what my mum thinks? Or if she even noticed the date?
Anyway its been a bittersweet day for me, i didn't have any classes today but i was also homesick and missing mum.

Tomorrow is Turkey day! My 2nd Thanksgiving and im hoping it will be less crazy then last years one! I mean last year was the first American holiday i experienced and meeting all of my family for the first time.
All the family is coming here for Thanksgiving (like last year) including all my cousins!! I haven't seen Jason for awhile but i haven't seen Brittany or Amanda for MONTHS! So it'll be good to catch up with them.

Friday night i get to spend it with my Katy :-) I love her to pieces! She is such a fun and awesome chick!! Katy, her friend Nick, and I are going to a Hookah bar. I've only tried it once before but it was nice! Katy say's Nick knows all the best flavours which is good. I'm also spending the night with her AND it's her 19th birthday!!!

It's Sunday!!!

It is finally Sunday night! And i am pleased to announce that as of 4pm my babysitting duties were over!!

It was a very long weekend and also very tiring. To start off i took the baby monitor Friday night so i could wake up with Jake and let Amanda sleep in. Jake decided to wake up at... 5:30am! Yup. Early morning start for me!
I was right about what me and Amanda ended up doing Friday night haha. We did our girl talk for a few hours and were going to watch Texas Chain Saw Massacre:The Next Generation except she fell asleep so i kicked her upstairs. Oh and btw it was not scary at all! The only scary part in there was Matthew McConaughey b'cos he can be a creepy fucker! Wow he was psychotic!

Saturday Amanda and I took the boys up to Nick's school so we could wear Jake out. It worked though he fell off his scooter 2 times and yelled/cried a bit. Amanda got Jake to sleep till 7am (Sunday), lucky bitch! Also that night i found out that USA were doing a Pirates of the Caribbean night! They played all 3! :-) We have the 1st one so i recorded the last 2 and watched them last night. It was a good night.

Today i honestly thought i was going to lose my mind. Jake was having a bad morning! It was bad! He was just getting so upset over nothing in particular.

BUT the good news is i made it through the weekend. Still have 2 brothers and 1 dog. I think i did a pretty good job!

Anyway that was my weekend! Was yours any better?
Tonight made up for my crappy weekend, i got to talk to Josh on MSN and talked to my dad on the phone for a little bit.

Short week this week! Thanksgiving is on Thursday and on Wednesday i will have been in America for a YEAR!! This past year has gone by so quick and i have experienced so much! I am very grateful to be here.
We're having Thanksgiving here so i can escape to my room if i need to haha but we have no idea how many people will actually come over!

Cannot wait to put up the Christmas tree and go Christmas tree hunting again! Hopefully i can do that again. Last year i got to go with my Uncle Gary to cut down his Christmas tree and it was fun!
