My life on the fly...

Hey girlies.

Well I've been super busy with nothing important what-so-ever. BUT here's a quick update on yours truly.

I was supposed to go to the interview for a receptionist job at an optometrist's place... but long story short they were asking too much of my time for me to be comfortable with (and that's not just being said because Sport Chek is like... beyond giving) so I respectfully declined. When I start school in November (HOORAY!) I want to be able to focus and go through them as quick and thorough as I can. So I applied at the Liquor Store for part time work. Keep going to the Chek 2 times a week... throw another job in there every so often... should work out well.

Liz I've spent the majority of my downtime watching Friends. Again TOTALLY forgot how funny some of the are.

Kayla... no good about the lung thing... that had to have been scary!!!

Dad's in Winnipeg right now... jamming with the boys. I came to terms that I have my friends and I can go out for coffees and whatnot... he doesn't really have anyone to just 'hang' with... so that's why he's been going out of town a bit lately. I mean I totally understand. Ummm I've finished up Bethan and Doug (the twins from the lake)'s college package. A lot of random stuff (Janine can vouch for that!) including a one dollar pregnancy test. Hahaha.

And finally, rode on Aaron's bike today. I will fully admit I was downright terrified.... but I can definately see the thrill =)

Later days!

Contaminated Lethbridge Air!

So as you all know I cannot move anywhere without ending up in the hospital at least once. Seems like some sort of a ritual these days.
Here's my first Lethbridge experience:

I decided that since I'm on such a health kick lately (which I'm unsure I have told any of you about)I decided to go for a run last night. As I got about half way through it I took in a deep breath that followed with an extreme burning feeling all the way down to my lungs. It felt like when you're super sick and have junk in your lungs so you rattle and wheeze. I thought perhaps I pushed myself a little to hard to I began to walk thinking that I would just catch my breath. I saw a park and began to cut through it as it was the shortest route home. The closer I got to home the worse it got and by the time I was home I could hardly swallow. So off to the hospital Joseph took me where I stayed for about four hours before I could take shallow breaths normally. Apparently what happened is I breathed in something not cool that caused some type of reaction and inflamation of my lungs/bronch-something or others. I'm okay now but no deep breaths, two inhailers and some type of antiinflamitory pills for a week. It may take up to a month to feel better!
Scary stuff!

you guys!

Hi, loves.
I miss you all, so much.
So I have some minor wedding news.. its back to just the core 4 for the wedding party. Evan didn't want to have 10 people and he didn't have another person to pick anyway so he kinda vedo-ed it. It's okay, I talked to Marena about it and she was understanding. I'll get her involved somehow. I was looking forward to having her there with us but I know it would have been a little different than how we all envisioned that day. You know, everyone else already knew each other really well, including the groomsmen!
ps don't forget, bridesmaid dress shopping the saturday before thanksgiving. you all have to attend.
I'm not gonna bore you with any more wedding stuff.
School is the same old, same old.. studying, writing too easy tests.. buying lunch.. frick it's a bad habit that I shouldn't have started. Speaking of bad habits, how's the non-smoking going Kayla?
Evan's coming here for the weekend, to check out my sweet pad(not.) It's so ghetto, I find bugs on the floor all the time.. ew.

BTW... They're making a new park in Universal Orlando that is COMPLETELY Harry Potter themed. Like, made to look real life. It's an illusion at times, made to make the castle look 200 meters high! how cool is that?! and there's a roller coaster, and all the legit stores and candy and everything. its gonna be so awesome, i have to go there.

I'm sorry my posts are so lame. this is my first time ever doing this, and I'm sure you all know I'm not a very deep or creative person. I wear my heart on my sleeve and anytime I'm feeling anything, you all know about it within 4 hours. I don't really have any philosophical questions to ask..
I'm happy to hear that you (janine and Kayla) are enjoying school. and Jam, good for you to be looking for a new job! what are you thinking for?? How's the maybe going back to school plan going for you??

Okay i really have to go to bed. 6:10 comes way too early. Miss you all, love love.

My turn!

Okay Kayla,

What Janine wrote is absolutely true. (Although I'll argue the true love comes once in a lifetime... because sometimes, if you're lucky it can come around again. My Grandma ((Dad's Mom)) lost her husband early on and she loved him dearly, but then my Papa came around and their love was different... but completely undeniable)

Now I can agree with your comment about Liz getting married. Liz, don't get us wrong we are BEYOND thrilled for you this is hugely exciting. But of course being girls theres going to be some ounce of jealousy. Now Kayla, I know that you think that you missed out with Jamie... and rightfully so. You gave your whole heart to him and he destroyed it in one flash. But he came with different baggage than anyone deserves. I'm sorry but no matter how many times you apologize... he still lied, he stole... he had problems beyond what a relationship can heal.
The only reason you're doubting yourself is because your tired of being alone. Right?

Not that I'm one too speak. Thank you Janine for those really sweet words about Mom and Dad. I told him about it and Dad thought it was extremely flattering... he got teary. However I can say this. It's that belief in what love is about that has been my downfall. Seeing all the things Dad did for Mom and vice-versa made me the biggest judge of love you'll probably ever meet. I've had my chances (I've even gone with the flow for the hell of it.... ahem Brock) but deep down my gut just wasn't in it. Ya there are moments of awes and how cutes. But at the end of the day I'll always look at it if it were Mom and Dad. Yeah they fought, but there was something undeniable behind it. Unfortunately that's what I'm keeping my eye out for... and double unfortunately you can't tell that after one night of meeting someone. I mean Janine even jokingly said maybe i'll fall in love with rohrke (we're going for dinner tomorrow night) and all I could do was laugh inside. Something inside me went: Heck no. Poor kid never stood a chance.

Kayla when someone comes along, and for all you know you could have already met him. You're going to know. In your gut. That doesn't mean that he's all you can think about (though probably is) and theres going to be things about him that absolutely frusterate the hell out of you. But that knot in your stomach (not the kind you're taking medicine for haha) is going to beg to differ.

Come on, no one likes the idea of being alone. But that's when you have to cope, really get in tune with yourself. Stop looking for love, because it'll find you. We're all good people, so in the end good will come to us. Like I've always said to Janine, you're gonna laugh at yourself for worrying about this when the guy comes along... because you're gonna go, really? This is beyond my expectations... sheesh!

On a tangent though... isn't it the most frusterating when you see people who are getting married... and you go... how the hell did that happen? What about me? Yeah... those are my favourites.... cept I always feel like an asshole in the end.

And Janine is most certainly right. We all have our bouquet to catch. Guess we gotta find more friends who are getting married =P

Love to you all. xoxo

YES

YES!
I do believe there is ONE person for everyone. I believe that we have the opportunity to hit many great lessons along that road in finding THE ONE. But ideally everyone who gets married believes they are marrying their "one" otherwise they wouldn't do it. Ya sure some people get divorced, but IF or WHEN they move on that person will always be number 2 will they not? You may be a better person going into the relationship because you'll know what needs to be done to make it work, but they aren't the person you originally thought you'd be with.

I mean come on look at us ..... what are the chances that 4 best friends all come from strong families? No divorce.

I may not believe in soul mates, I do believe there are many people out there who make us better people, who we are (ie. you guys) but true love comes once in a lifetime. There will always be something missing for every other person you're with. You'll know it when you know it.
In risk of say too much, look at Laramie and I .... we always clicked as friends, great friends. We were great roommates, but I feel something for him that I've never felt. He is TRULY my best friend I am nothing but myself with him and as much as we piss each other off and push every button we can we love each other. And we make a point of letting each other know that.

I think my greatest influence in life (relationship wise) is/has been Jamie's parents. I must admit after I read those letters your dad wrote Jamie my heart ached that your mom was gone. Knowing that a love like theirs actually had problems too made me realize that its not just Lar and I who fight. Every relationship has downfalls and issues and arguments. You either get through them or you don't. And Jamie your parents went through it all, and stuck together. Your dad is one of the greatest men alive. And your mom was definatly one of the greatest, bravest women i've ever met. I believe in love because of them. I may have never talked to them about any of my relationships but by you doing so it's helped me make a lot of good and bad choices that I needed to make to be where I am. I am in love. And I know i'm not getting married anytime soon, but I really wouldn't mind if Laramie is who I get to spend the rest of my life with.

Happiness is being married to your best friend.

Kayla, you'll find someone who makes you feel 10 fold what Jamie made you feel. I know this because never did I think someone would take Kiley's place. And now that I have moved on from that I know that he has no place to take. He made me feel great when things were working but that entire greatness doesn't compare to one good day in my relationship now. He's out there for all of us. Someone got to start the vows right?
We all have a bouquet to catch.


all my love xox.

The Great Debate.

Hello hello ladies!

Hope all is well back in the homeland.

I have a question for you guys, and I need an honest opinion.

Is there just one person out there for everyone?

The more I think about this question the more I run myself in circles. I mean if there really is just one person for everyone, then did I lose mine? Because I sure as hell haven't been able to feel anything even remotely close to what I felt for Jamie. Cause if that's so I feel completely ripped off. On the other hand, perhaps I haven't met my one person. Then I don't feel ripped off at all, because if I can feel more than what I felt with Jamie then I say I'm pretty fortunate.

Okay so say there is more than one person out there for everyone. Then where the heck is he? Don't get me wrong, I'm totally digging this single game. It's so much less complicated, and I get to be selfish and do all the Kayla things I want to do, when I want to do them. But with Liz getting married does anyone else feel a little behind? I mean come on, we will be 22 when this all goes down (not that 22 is old to be single or anything, because I think I could handle the whole married thing closer to 30 but it's nice to KNOW...you know?), and I am probably more than likely going stag man (not that I mind because honestly who has the time to spend with a date at your best friends wedding). But wouldn't it be nice to have someone to dance with? And wouldn't it be nice that if I actually caught the bouquet, that I genuinely could be a little creeped out by the thought that I was next and that someone I am with could be the one? I kinda wanna feel creeped out! I think I'm just going to dodge the who bouquet thing.

Anyways... a little bit of a tangent.

So yes, one or more?
