Some recent excitement!

Since we have moved to Medicine Hat, we have been bored, especially me. Travis goes off to school and I sit at home all day. (For the record, I did get hired at the Medicine Hat Hospital, I just haven't started yet because people have been away, and then sick...blah blah blah.)

Anyways...being newly married and trying to save money, there is only so much we can do without blowing our budget. The biggest bummer of all? For the first time in my life I'll actually have to PAY to go see a movie. This is all very weird to me...and I haven't brought myself to do it yet. I miss the Movie Mill!

We also don't have any cable or sattelite...so that is also something that we cannot occupy our time with. Luckily I have discovered I can watch all my shows, in good quality online with sites such as Global, CityTV and CTV. The thing with these sites, is I have to wait until the next day, but I think I can be ok with that!
For those of you who know me, you know I love playing piano! Well...I don't even remember the last time I played! The only thing I could play on is this mini roll up piano I got for my birthday! Unfortunately I cant really do a whole lot with it though!

So little! It has some pretty sick sound effects though!
I have also tried to get into the habit of reading a lot, something which I have not done a lot of. I am SO not a big reader, but I am trying because I would like to be. I have been trying to read "The Host" for like a year now, I'm not even half way! I can't stop reading Jack Weyland books. SO cheesy and predictable, but every time, even know if I know exactly what is going to happen, I am weeping by the end. (This is the guy who wrote Charly). And Then I am starting to read "Perfume, the story of a murderer" SO creepy!!

There is nothing better then Jack Weyland cover art.
What is something you do when you are bored? Play Board games or cards! And seeing as I hate playing most card games (and I don't think we have any...) We turn to our board game collection! Thrilling!

This is our board game collection!
Lucky for us we can appreciate art in our own apartment. Our landlord once told us that the reason this place is so nice, is because the pictures on the wall. This may have been the case a long time ago...

This is the picture right outside our door. I think it was made
using pencil crayons. 
This is right down our hallway, so nice haha
If you haven't noticed, I blog way too much in my opinion. Why? Well...because there isn't a whole lot else to do! I am sorry!!

This is the first time in my life I have not had A/C. I am dying. Today it was 34 at one point. It is almost 10pm and it is still 23. This is crazy. All we have is a little fan! We drink A LOT of ice cold water! Or else we would probably be dead.
This is our "Why is it SO flipping hot" face. 
I said to make a melting face...and we both just ended up looking
insane. This is what happens when its too hot kids.


We did find one exciting thing to do here, and it is relatively inexpensive...The Medicine Hat Family Leisure Center! Woooo! So fun! But actually its great! There is a wave pool, steam room, waterslide, diving boards, swinging rope, lane pool, kiddy pool, ice rink, gym and...a lazy river!!! So great!
Admiring some art before we go swimming. 


So excited to swim! More excited its something to do!!

Look how magic this place looks! 
Did I mention the waterslide is a SNAKE!!! 
Seriously this place is so fun! I wish we had
something like this in lethbridge!! 

Well that's about it for now...and that's about all the excitement happening in Medicine Hat with us! Hopefully we can meet some other young married couples...apparently there are not very many around!!
