Well, TODAY marks the ONE month countdown for the wedding!!! So so exciting! Everything is coming together and I keep telling Jonny "next time we get married ....we will do things differently" ha ha! Just kidding! Thankfully we only get married once ;). And by doing things differently I mean ...I WON'T spend ten hours making table numbers? ha ha....soooo not worth it :) !!! Next big thing on my list after the wedding is finding a JOB! I have applied everywhere that a PSW can work...and now I wait for a phone call :)
This was probably the fastest week of my life!! Monday was a holiday which means I didn't have to teach piano! (yay)---only 4 more lessons with my students :) Thursday to Saturday was spent in Brampton with Alyssa :). I decided to take the go train instead of driving because she was coming back to my house on Saturday anyways so I only had to take it one way. Now those who know me know that I am directionally challenged...I mean ABSOLUTELY HOPELESSLY CHALLENGED! North, East, South, West- those mean NOTHING to me. If I'm in a new area I often don't know which way I need to go to get home! Needless to say I was a little nervous to take the train by myself. Thankfully I got on the right train and it was a breeze....UNTIL I got to union station...My amazing fiance made me a little map of which trains to take with little pictures to show me where to go once I got to union station...Only problem was that once I got into the station I could not FIND anything that looked like the pictures!! I called Jonny in a panic and he could not figure out how to lead me to the right place...which REALLY stinks...because I was planning on buying a muffin and couldn't find any of the restaurants that we SUPPOSED to be there ;). ha ha. Luckily I am not the only directionally challenged person...a random girl came up to me and said "do YOU know where you are going? Cuz I'm so lost!" ....So the place I was stuck it at the station was a big hallway that led to platforms for 4-27. I was watching the tv screen and all the other trains were leaving from platform 4-27 so I figured I was safe...so I waited...and waited...and waited...until my platform showed up on the tv screen....PLATFORM 3???? UH OHHHH!!!!! Luckily I found a sign for platform 3...followed it and ended up on the right train :)...beside a lady who kept glaring at me ha ha ! (I moved seats once there was more room after a couple stops:D)....Yay! I made it to Brampton and it felt like an adventure! :) That night Alyssa and I went shopping and spent too much money :). It's always a competition for us to spend less than each other so we don't feel so bad about spending money :). Then on Friday I went with Alyssa's class for a field trip. We walked on the bus together and a kid yelled out "LOOK!!! THERE ARE TWO MRS. GIRARDS!!" ha ha apparently we looked like twins to all the kindergarteners...(and some adults too ;) ....weird! Let me tell you...it is a very interesting experience being the new "face" on a kindergarten field trip. ;) On the way back in the bus the conversation between two girls went like this .
"I WANT to sit by Miss Kurba!"
"No! I want to sit by her!"
"BUT I saw her FIRST!"
"so? she was MY partner for the fieldtrip!!!"
Needless to say, I ended up sitting squished in between both girls (and we were in the dreaded seat right over the wheel of the bus where there is NO leg room...ha ha) and they begged me to tell them stories for the ride home...I don't think either of them stopped talking for the WHOLE bus ride ;) It was fun though :)
Well I hope the next 4 weeks go as fast as this one did!!! I think I might DIE from all this waiting :)
