Possession date minus one...

To set the record straight... school may have won for the afternoon, but the evening was all nature (and excessive drinking). Good-times, Good-times.

I woke up early today and grabbed all my dirty laundry and head out to do it. Instead of taking the usual right at the lights and going to my local Laundromat, I went right and drove to my new (too me) house! I was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning. It was nothing special though an old washer and dryer in a dark basement, but they didn't take quarters! It was awesome. I'll miss the quiet mornings reading the paper at the L'mat, I may be weird but I found it relaxing. Now I have a ton of work ahead of me, the previous owners were slobs and The Greeds is picky! So I went out and bought a cart full of cleaning supplies and replaced all the lights and started cleaning. I also have to prep the entire upstairs as I bribed some friends and family to come help paint this weekend.

I'm half ready for the tests this week, but there is only two so I think they will go fine. I'll know for sure on Wednesday...

School vs. Nature…

As it is the September long weekend we're camping, this makes it exactly the first and last time this summer that I haveve been outside for more than a few hours. The Greeds demanded that we go; she has gone with her friends and family several times this year. The catch is the two exams and two assignments that are coming due this week that I need to get started on. That being the case here I am at the lake fighting myself to study for a couple of hours so I don't fail. This is my last term and it's wrapping up fast. My marks have been dropping due to the fiasco that was house hunting in Edmonton. Now with that behind me and moving in coming quick, I am getting worried about pulling everything together for the last couple of weeks! So it seems for the mean time that school has won this battle.

But who knows maybe, just maybe, starting October I can live the 2006 that I missed this time around... Kinda like yearlight savings time you could say...

Time flies...

So I found myself in between assignments for a day and looking back to my neglected blog. It's so amazing how time has flown since my last post. School for me is almost up, done the end of September. I cannot believe for a second that I have done it, looking back 20 courses in twelve months - what the hell was I thinking a year ago.

With my break (this morning), I grabbed a seat for a couple of poker tourneys finishing both in the money 3rd and 5th places. Decent I figure as I also renovated my blog as you can see from the shiny new layout!

The Greeds is demanding a new name for herself suggesting something like the amazingly entrancing-ly beautiful sexy super-hot wife formally known as the greeds. But that just tells you why my first choice was so good! Seriously though, she is doing great 4 months along and we're both excited and a little scared. I think it will take a lot to get used to having three of us, it took me 4 and 1/2 years to come to terms with the 2 of us before I finally proposed.

After weeks of searching in the hottest real estate market of the world, we finally squeaked out a deal of buying a house! It's sweet, and along with trying to do everything while I'm preparing for final exams....I move in Sunday.

I have got the call...

When we got married (our first anniversary is on June 25) we stopped using protection and decided to let nature take its course. The first few months were fine, but soon after worry set in. At that point we actually tried planning it, to no avail. Now just last week we had seen her doctor who told us that her tests showed an extremely low chance of conceiving. As you could imagine
she was devastated immediately she was devastated thinking the worst.

Jump to yesterday when my cell rang in class. Over the past month I had also been teaching my wife how to use text messaging and instant messenger with much success (as she is technologically challanged) and now she even enjoys using it so we can talk when I can't answer the phone, and catching up with her friends. It seemed funny that she would call so I left class after a couple minutes of worrying. When I called she was crying, and my heart sunk; however, when I asked what was wrong she said it was nothing, ... but that she thought that she was pregnant. Now I don't remember much of the call after hearing the news but it wasn't fear, or panic like I had always imagined this call would be. I must have been in denial, actually I think I still might be. We were worried of a false positive and couldn't get into her docter for a couple weeks so we just took another test. This second test didn't take long to confirm what we hoped for, she is, actually quite, positively pregnant. Like I said, I'm not afraid, just worried. I'm worried that it will be healthy, what sex it will be (even married, I know nothing about girls) and if I can be a good father. It feels good, different, I'm not sure what's different but good...

Let's go Oilers... clap... clap... clap. clap. clap!

Finished that assignment with 5 minutes to go! I feel soooo much better. Now on to better things to worry about like finishing the final round of the playoffs and clinching the cup back for Edmonton. It's amazing driving after winning the western conference final last night, the city has gone absolutely insane, it's fucking awesome. I'm definately hitting whyte ave to catch the games during this round, it's gonna be one hell of a party....

...hope you can make it...

everybody, who's anybody will be there, just don't fall from the light posts it's quite a drop.
