Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Friends!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :)


I guess this Thanksgiving is kind of bittersweet for me. I am here in Vanderhoof with Melissa and Brandon, we aren't having a turkey or a big meal but... We are making pumpkin pie. So its a half Thanksgiving he he. We just watched Into the Wild, which was pretty intense. My heart was hurting the whole time for this boy. Might I add, he is SO CUTE! OH MY! Emile Hirsch(look him up!) Anyways, it was a good movie and last night we watched Couples Retreat, HILARIOUS! I love Vince Vaughn, and then we made apple pie and got pizza and watched The Bucket List. Holy Mother of Pearl, that movie was AMAZING. I loved it. I did cry, because I cry for everything :) but I loved it. I need to make a bucket list!.. So the other part of my bittersweet Thanksgiving is that I am not with my family back in Ontario. Oh how I miss them. I called my Aunt Teresa's house because my mom and brother are there with my family, and I talked to everyone. I told my aunt that I couldn't call because I was going away for the weekend but I just said that so I could do a surprise call! and it worked! :) I talked to my Aunt Teresa, my brother Joey, my mom, my cousin Chris, his girlfriend Jenn, their son Cayson (he said he loved me, I started to tear. He is the CUTEST EVER), my cousin Mike, my Aunt Lynn and Uncle Dave,and my Grandma and Grandpa Tony. It was so nice to talk to them all. I couldn't talk to my cousins Karl and Erik or my Uncle Gary because they weren't there but Ill talk to them soon.. I also won't be home for Christmas or my birthday. That will be tough, but I have my new friends here so it will be good :). I also talked to my dad, its his birthday tomorrow! I sent him a funny birthday card he he.


Its pretty quiet around here. With only 3 people in the house compared to 12! WOW!


I have a new found love.. The Beatles! Holy Moly, I heard them just a little while ago because Marc-Andre was listening to them and I fell in love! I cant stop listening to them. My favourite songs by them are Eight Days a Week, Eleanor Rigby, and PS I love you. OMG REPEAT :) Thank you Marc-Andre for introducing me ha ha. We were house managers this week, which means two people stay home from work and do all of the cooking and cleaning and we listened to them everyday for at least 2 hours. I think he might be sick of them now :S .. On the note of house managing, I am so proud of us! We made croissants from scratch, made vegetable white bean soup, which I made a bit of a boo boo while making it, so you had to puree some of it and put it back in the pot, so I put some in a blender and while it was doing the puree-ing thing, I pushed to hard on the plastic part and the plastic piece on the top fell in and broke in the soup :S, so before we ate I had to warn everyone to take caution while eating and make sure the didn't swallow any plastic... good thing they are good sports, and don't judge lol. So no one died thank goodness!, and then we had oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Another day we made pasta, my grandmother would be so proud :) and pizza another day. Stir fry on Friday. We made apple pie, well Marc-Andre made it and it was soo good! I made pumpkin pie, and let's just say it wasn't as good as the apple pie. It was a bit spicy ha ha. Isaac loved it though and brought it to work the next day :) he took like half the pie because no one wanted it. What a good sport he is:D We also made banana bread and granola bars. I loved our week as house manager. It was fun :) And I also received a package! From my friend Daniel, who I have been friends with since I was like 5 years old. He sent me his sweater and 99 red balloons :D I was SO excited! I sent him a 4 page letter he he. And I got 2 other letters, one from one of my best friends Kaylee from when I was also 5 and another from her little sister Cadence! It was a week of letters and packages :) I have them on my wall beside my bed. I love my friends <3


I think I have written enough for now and updated you so far on what is going on. I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing.


Have a wonderful day and a great Thanksgiving.
