Another fun weekend

This weekend was quite fun!Yesterday I went on a trail ride with my two friends,Angi and Amanda. It had been a long time since us 3 had rode together.Then, today I met up with another two girl friends of mine who I hadnt rode with in a while, Katie and Sarah. I rode on Cinnamon, double, with Katie, while Sarah rode Laudie. I also had Barley & Nikki at the barn, along with Mike & Layla of course =) Barley followed us for the ride. We only rode around the fields, but it was still fun!Barley startlled Cinny when he ran out of a bush, so it was a crazy moment, as I tried to stay on her,since I was sitting on her butt!haha!But no one fell off or got hurt.It was more of a laugh! Katie brought out her really nice camera!Took lovely photos of my little family.
I love how I have been going to see the horses a lot more recently =)
Well... I guess I should get to doing my homework now.. Im a bit behind on my assignments..

Love Autum!

It has been an amazing autum so far!The weather is just perfect,the changing colours on the trees is so beautiful!It's my favourite season of the year!Perfect for going to the barn and riding, as there's not so many bugs like in the summer time!I find I ride the least amount in the summer and the most in fall and winter time!I have been enjoying my horses again, and they are doing so well at the barn I have them at.It's my favourite barn to be at!I have gone on so many trail rides recently!It had been soo long since I had been able to enjoy riding,since I was pregnant.I don't want to get pregnant for a very long time,or at all actually... I want to enjoy the horses more,and I'm content with just my baby Layla.

Finally,I go out on trails and Cinny aint lame afterwards!!This other barn I had her at,there was just way too many rocks and stones that Cinny would get bruised feet and was pure lame. :( So she is doing amazing now.I think they are really happy to be back at this farm too.I also got to go on a ride,just me and Cinnamon!!It had been like,a REALLY long time since I had done that!!!I feel like it's ''old times'' again, how Im at the barn quite often,riding a lot!Enjoying the horses to the fullest!As much as I liked the farm in Niagara,I couldn't enjoy my horses as much,since everything became about money and horses were starting to become just money and business,not enjoyment and a passion... I can even see that Im happier now,the more I spend time with the horses, the higher my spirits.

I took my uncle and cousin out over the long weekend :) I led my cousin around on Laudie,while my uncle rode Cinny. They had a lot of fun! ^_^ I also got to ride lots too!This long weekend, was really fun. I enjoyed it anyways!! On Saturday I went out on a group trail ride, and then at night I had gone out to party at a couple night clubs. And then Sunday morning I took my uncle and cousin to ride, and then I rode again that day too.Then Monday Mike and I made turkey dinner and had family over, and enjoyed the feast!! Then ended up just me,Mike and his brother watching movies. I am so tired out though!haha!It was a lot of fun! =) I'm just so happy!!

Happy as can be

Things have been going very well lately =)

Mike has been a lot of help too!Ive been cooking great meals,and we both do our part on chores and caring for Layla!

Today me,Layla, and my sister went to our grandparents for lunch. Always love my grandma's cooking! It was so nice to see them! My grandpa goes for surgery this friday, I hope it goes smoothly and he recovers well. They may be staying in Canada this winter, which the family is all quite excited about, as they go to Florida like every winter! So it'd be nice to have them here over christmas time too! But I know my grandparents enjoy going travelling together, enjoying their lives to the fullest. I would do the same!We also got a few pictures taken,with them and Layla.That too made me very happy!As I would like Layla to have pictures to look back on,of family and when she was little!

I have been so busy recently, just having a social life I guess, meaning less time put in on house chores and school... ah well, so what, I let go a little bit, having some fun!But I needed to just relax and not worry about things all the time.

This weekend is thanksgiving!It should be fun! =)

I like how Mike has found a hobby or activity of his own. He plays hockey once a week,Sunday afternoons, and I go riding on Sunday mornings, and sometimes on Saturdays too.. But we try and have Saturdays to spend together mostly. And Sundays do our own thing.

Well,I really must get to chores now.. I have to prepare dinner,vaccum,do laundry,and take the dogs out..

Apartment Life!!

There is quite the drama on our floor in our apartment!At times it can be very irritating,if it's late at night,or too early in the morning!

There are 3 seperate couples who are having some serious relationship issues!They all so happen to be surrounding our unit...

They all tend to have arguments in the hallway, and a lot of times, they are right near our door, since we are closest to the elevators.

The people who are closest to us, are so weird!They roam the hall a lot, and yell at eachother. This morning, we heard them in the hall, and the guy said ''EXCUSE ME!!!YOU THINK YOU"RE LEAVING ME,WITHOUT A KISS GOODBYE!!?'' ... and then there was arguing, and then he said he hates her and she said she hates him more. After that, he said he is going to jerk off tonight! Like, what the hell!? Don't they realize, we can hear them!?haha!

Then, Friday night, another couple down the hall from us, had a huge lash out, loud fight! The girl was telling the guy to leave, and that she's done. And then he yelled fine,that he will leave then.. and she said shes sick of his insecurity, and he's not her fucking choice!.. then,he went to leave,and she then says... wait,don't go!i dont want you to go!!... Like,WOW!DRAMA!haha!

Then earlier in the week,late at night,another neighbour beside us, is on his balcony.. he was yelling,swearing over the phone!He was so loud, that I could hear what he was saying perfectly clear. Was saying things like ''that's my son too!You cant fucking take him!He's old enough to decide!...Vanessa, you're my wife!.. Would you let me fucking say something.. I don't have $2,000.. '' All this was just being repeated and ongoing for at least 3 hours.. I heard other people yelling out of their windows for him to shut up.. So I did the same. Then I had enough, I went to his door.. But he didnt answer.. So I just had to fall asleep to it. Was like 2am!

Another thing that is driving me crazy,is how most of the people on this floor are smokers!They even smoke in the hallway and leave butts on the floor!Like, how rude! And some are too lazy to put their garbage down the garbage shoot..and they bring grocery carts up, where there is carts filling the hallway.

One day I noticed someone had put up a sign on the garbage room door, saying to toss your garbage down the shoot, because the hall is smelling bad. I made a new post, but not hand written one, a typed out one. I do from time to time have the awful cigarette smoke seeping into our unit. It gives me such a headache! I am thinking I will take it to the supervisor here... as legally, they have to do something about it, as every tenant has the right to ''reasonable enjoyment''.

There is more funny stories of things that has happened here, and I am sure there will be more, as we have been here for only 3 weeks!

Well, I have a lot to get done today!

Because I like to Prank Others!

OKAY, I COULDN'T RESIST!

Anyone who knows me well, they know I enjoy to cause some mischief here and there! Sometimes regardless of the consequences!

The other night, I had decided to play a prank on Mike!.. C'mon, it was a Friday night, and I hadn't got out of my apartment for a week!A little stiry crazy!So I decided to entertain myself!

... Mike had fallen asleep to the TV... AGAIN!!!... I was on the phone with a good friend of mine, and then the topic had come up about pranks. Then we joked on pranks to do on Mike. I decided I wanted to do one! So we came up with drawing something on his face... I had no suitable marker... Then we decided I should use paint! So, I had grabbed some black paint, and painted a dick on his forehead!!... When he woke up bit later, he had no idea. Then, I thought it would be more entertaining if I sent him out in public. I asked him to go grab some timmies. So he did... and was none the wiser ;) I waited at home.. and I heard someone in our hallway,laughing hard saying someone drew a dick on a guys face!HAHAHA! ... I totally thought Mike would have noticed by the time he got into his car! Then, I get a phone call from Mike.. he was very mad!! He was humiliated in front of a lot of people he said, as he was even talking to people normally. HAHA. Yeah, I still think it's funny!!! He is over it now, and I know in time he will laugh at it too.

The paint wasn't perminant either, so it wipped off no problem!! It was a harmless joke!!

I may do some more pranks in time!!! ;) Stay tuned!! haha!

PS. If he tries to get me back, I will just get him back worse! I always get the last laugh!ALWAYS!haha! ;)

How Things are With Me Right Now

My life has become more busy recently, since I have begun school... I am doing online courses, as this is much more convenient for me, but doesn't mean it is an easier route! I am currently taking 'Health for Life',and so far it is going well. It is for one semester only. Then I am taking two courses next semester. They are Business Management Fundementals and Enviornmental Geography. I am trying my best, and have found I have always got better grades in an online course rather than the traditional way, in class..

Balancing all my responsibilities and priorities can become a tad overwhelming some days.With Layla,chores,pets,school,and social life.So far I am handling it quite well.Layla makes things 'easy' going most of the time.Although, the past week, I had an awful cold, so it was quite stressful... Luckily, Layla is still perfectly healthy, and didnt catch my cold!I tried my best to prevent her getting sick.

This evening,as I folded and organized Layla's laundry, I had to put all of her newborn clothes into a seperate drawer. As she no longer fits them! It just made me sad in a way, looking at how tiny she was, and just how fast she is growing and changing. When people ask me how old she is, I say 3 months!But next week she will be 4 months!At the same time, it is amazing seeing her grow and the new abilities and skills she gains each week. One of my favourite things to do with Layla is giving her a bath!I also love to sing to her, read her stories and take her out and about!

Today, Mike and I just had a very laid back day. Stayed in our PJ's all day!We just watched TV,played video games,and I started a wrestling,play fight match with him!I dont remember the last time we had done that.For some reason, I felt young again.. HA,yeah,I know,I am only 20 years old,and here I am saying stuff like that.. Well, with the way my life has been, I had to grow up fast, and have felt like an adult for quite a few years. Responsibilities do that to you I guess.

I hope tomorrow I will finally see Cinnamon and Laudie.It has been quite a while the last I had seen them, since I was too sick. .. :(

There is quite the drama on our floor in the apartment!But I will leave details of that for next blog post for later! ;)

Another update on whats up with me!

our little family!

Things are going really well at our new place!We really like it!

Mike has been playing the guitar more too.I set out his guitars as display,and he now plays finally!Been a long while since he had,and enjoyed doing so.

Layla is growing ever so fast.She is really enjoying me reading books to her, and she's starting to learn how to hold onto her toys and almost play with them.She can roll on her side and back again.She prefers sleeping on her side too.It is just the cutest thing seeing her sleep so peacefully in her crib.She now sleeps in her own room,and sleeps a full night!We almost miss how she would sleep beside us the occasional night, but we have to get her used to sleeping on her own,and she is already doing well on it.Dont seem to phase her actually!

Barley and Nikki and Kittie all seem to be fitting in right at home here too.They are all very content.At first had some issues with Barley wanting to mark his territory!But seems to be fine now!Was very gross,and I had to clean the carpet many times with variety of cleaners!The smell is out now finally!

I am now close enough to get groceries on my own time, while Mike is at work. So that is a plus.

Been feeling really good with life in general. I see my horses more often now, and they are doing much better. I love going out to see them, spend time grooming and chatting with friends there!

Riding just takes all stress out of me. Always puts me in a good mood, and makes my day.

Hopefully I will see the horses again tomorrow :)
