100

Well it's almost 5:30am and I've been up for about an hour now. It seems no matter what I do (even eating a whopping bowl of multigrain cheerios at 11:00pm) I always wake up at some awful hour of the morning with hunger pains. So bad that even though I'm physically exhausted, I must wake up and eat something. I just must! Today, however, was not such an early morning (as I'm averaging between 3:00 and 4:00am) so it just feels like I'm one of those early bird kind of people. So of course, I thought I should blog and give a little update! 

This just so happens to be my 100th blog post! I was hoping I'd save the big one for some preggo pics, but I haven't taken any yet. Soon though! Soon. 

Things are going very well around the Westman household. Mark is still loving every minute of his job, and I am loving every minute of being (7 weeks and 2 days now) pregnant. Even these early morning hunger pains. I know it could be waaay worse. I booked my first prenatal checkup here in Beauval and I'll be going in two weeks. I'm looking forward to it, but after reading about prenatal checkups I don't know if I should be... lol. 

Things are going to be picking up speed over the next two weeks as Mark starts his first online AQ course through Queens, and begins coaching 3 basketball teams. We've also been checking every day for flight deals to fly to Ottawa for Christmas. We've booked our flight back from Ottawa to Saskatoon, and we are just hoping and waiting to find a better deal pop up to fly from Saskatoon to Ottawa. We'll be visiting for about 11 days and I know they will be action packed! We are getting so excited to see our family and friends. 

In February, the school has a week break and Mark and I have started to plan a trip to Banff. We've found a lovely cabin with a wood stove and kitchen for a really really magnificent price, and we hope to book soon! It's right in the mountains between Banff and Canmore and we can't wait to visit these towns for the second time this year! (I know, I know, I still haven't posted any summer road trip pictures!) Well you know what here's some for you now!

There. That makes this 100th post a little more interesting! So now you can imagine why we are so excited to go back in the winter. The winter! It will be fantastic. Although the only downfall is that I wish I could ski the hills! But at 5 months pregnant with a husband who's never downhill skied before... probably not a good idea. 

Anyway, to end this post, I promised Mark I would upload the pictures of his apple crisp! He made this one about a month ago, but he made another last night. Delicious!! He used this recipe. That man just loves to cook and bake I tell ya! And I quite like it too!

Until next time!
