February 2016

 January flew by! (As it usually does...) Resolutions are slowly dying...oops.

Every time I opened this cupboard, something would fall out. Out of control!
So I bought some dollar store jars and went a little label crazy.  It seems I'm slowly labeling everything in my house...but it is so cute! Also, now my cupboard is actually organized and I can get what I need without pulling everything out.

Ruby was hit with the flu the first week of February. She had never thrown up before, so it was so sad! (But she did throw up for the first time on Grandma...so that was funny!) Travis stayed home from work to snuggle with her (only because my job pays more! Haha!). 

Ruby turned 2!! It seems like yesterday she was a newborn and now she is a sassy toddler! We Celebrated with family and friends at The Movie Mill with pizza, cake, mini-golf and way too many presents!! We also went to Montanas for dinner so she could wear the horns...she was not impressed. Hah! Also, thumbs up - mom survived the party!!

"Ride bike to cookie store?" It is so dangerous living right around the corner for the cutest little bakery. Not only does Ruby ask to ride her bike everyday, she also asks to go to the cookie store. (Don't worry, we don't go everyday...even though they have the best cronuts! This is why I will never be skinny)

-President's Ball with some friends! It was fun to dress up and go to a dance!
-I got free hockey tickets from work...so we enjoyed a hockey game! Lethbridge lost so bad and there were a ton of fights. But lets be real...we just went for the snacks. 

 We have so much fun around here! 

Travis applied for a private school in Calgary to finish his Paramedic degree (He is an EMT).

It seemed great, but it was CRAZY expensive. He had an interview, but he was not accepted. Boo. 

The city of Lethbridge was also hiring again around that time. We were so excited as the Deputy Chief had asked him to apply again. The last time they had a hiring Travis made it to the final round of interviews, but wasn't hired. They suggested he take some interview prep classes, so he had been going to LDS business services and taking classes for a few months. He submitted his resume and started prepping for the physical exam (as he had to do last year). Unfortunately he didn't even get invited to take the physical test as too many paramedics applied. BOO. So now it's back to the drawing board. We know something will work out eventually..but it's just taking a really long time to get there.
