O Canada

May has flown by and my blog has been completely neglected!  About time for an update!
We've been in Canada for a month now! I can't believe how fast time has flown by.

Jeff has gotten the hang of the whole summer sales gig and I have to say I've never been more proud to call him my husband. He works SO hard.  He is gone from 11:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. every single day except Sundays. The hours are long, the job is hard, but despite everything, he is the most positive, happy, upbeat person through it all.  It takes a certain type of person to do what he is doing, and to do it with a smile on your face at the end of every long day is really impressive.  I'm not usually one to gush about my husband on my blog, but let me just say, I am married to the biggest stud-muffin on the planet.  I'm so lucky, and I'm reminded of it every day.

We live in a cute little town called St. Albert, just 10 minutes from downtown Edmonton.
Our apartment is perfect for the two of us, and feels like a suite compared to where we lived in Mexico!

Our apartment complex sits right along the Sturgeon river, which has a really fun path for walks and jogs.  It's been fun to get together with the wives each day and go on walks along the river.  It's also convenient that a 7-Eleven is right on our stroll--we are all Slurpee addicts!

There are some really awesome wives here, and it's so fun to have them to hang out with while the boys are working. Stephanie and Chantel both have a baby and a toddler--the cutest kids in the world.

I was totally spoiled for my birthday a few weeks ago!  I woke up to breakfast in bed and little post it notes all over the house of reasons I am loved.  Jeff is the biggest sweetheart.
Then we went to the West Edmonton mall with Tyler and Alex and played some glow-in-the-dark mini golf!

Afterwards, Jeff took me to dinner at a delicious little Thia restaurant, and just when I thought my birthday was over I was surprised with a delicious Blizzard ice-cream cake at Ty and Alex's house.

The best part of being here this past month has been spending so much time with Alex.  I don't know what I would have done without her.  She is so much fun and so fun to be with.  Tyler and Alex leave for Utah tomorrow because Ty starts his new job on Monday. Jeff and I are really, really going to miss them.  Tyler has been so awesome, taking Jeff under his wing and showing him the ropes.  They have become such great friends.

Today we went to brunch for a little goodbye party for Alex. 

I know we're all really going to miss her!
