Honey, I'm home!!

Well I've made it back to good ol' Vancouver!! My flight home was delayed 1 & 1/2 hours, which isn't too bad considering some flights were cancelled. The flight was pretty good, not too much turbulence. Started my trip home off right with some family visiting. It was nice to be welcomed home with big hugs. Tried to sleep in a little on Christmas morning, but my dad couldn't wait any longer and got me up at 9. But it felt like 6am in my world. Opened presents and had some breakfast. Oh yeah and then the power went out for four hours!! Not so fun. Went to my aunt's for christmas dinner. Lots and lots of yummy food!!! M'mm shortbread cookies!

Boxing Day was at my cousins' house. And again more yummy food! Saw lots of family which was really nice. I really miss you guys a lot. BUT Vancouver doesn't really get any snow and it's way warmer here. So if you can get the environment to warm up there, then I'll put some thought into going back.

Spent some more time with the family on Monday and Tuesday. Was supposed to go to Peterborough, but my brother's truck was puking out oil and by the time it was fixed, I was too tired to drive there. I hope those who I was supposed to visit can find it in their hearts to forgive me. I know, I suck. I'll be home again in June!!

The flight back was on time which was great...AND there was satelite TV!!!

Now I'm trying to get caught up on my lost sleep....

1 more sleep!

Well here I am, 10:30 at night packing to go home. I think I have everything I need, digital camera, computer, presents...oh yeah and clothes, too!

The flights have been delayed because of the winter storm in Ontario. Man, I get about as far as I can away from snow and still be in Canada and it still plays havoc with my plans! Storms suck! So I've been tracking the flights online and most are just leaving later than scheduled. Not so bad, I guess, but at this rate I won't be able to make Christmas Eve in Stouffville. Thank goodness for Boxing Day!

Heading to bed soon...keep your fingers crossed my flight is on time!

T minus one week and counting!

8 more sleeps til I fly home! Can you say excited? I can...EXCITED!!!! That is very much what I am right now, and I'm thinking it's only going to get worse from here...

So Christmas shopping! Have you done yours?? I haven't eved started!! Do ya think I should get it done this weekend?!? Probably a good idea, considering I'm going home next Friday. Meh! Details, details.

Day 16 of the advent...

Details, detail, details...

I've booked my flight home. I leave Van. 11:30 am Dec. 24th and arrive in Toronto @ 7 pm. Boy will that be a long day!! I'm at the parentals for 4 days. I fly out Dec. 28th @ 9:45 pm arriving back in Van. @ 11:55 pm. Thank god for the time difference!!

I'm hoping to go to Ptbo on Monday to do some visiting. Although, this is clearly weather dependant. I really love that the weather here is only ever rainy. Plans will rarely get delayed because of the weather. Anyways...back on topic. I'll keep you posted on my plans. Here's hoping everything works out!

15 sleeps til I go home...

And the verdict is...

I can go home for Christmas!!

Long time, no post...

Ok, so I've been ignoring my blogging world lately. Apologies to anyone that may actually be checking this on a regular basis.

So I've now been at work for 3 weeks. It's not too bad. Most of the time I'm pretty bored because the phone doesn't ring that much and right now they haven't given me that much to do. Oh well, shouldn't complain...it's way better than Minacs!!

So, now the question is: do I come home for Christmas? I'm asking work tomorrow if I can even leave early on Christmas Eve so I can catch a flight home. If that's a yes, then I'll probably go home. I have four days off from work, 25-28, so I have enough time to come home. I guess I'll have to wait til I know if I can leave work or not. I'll keep you posted...
