Cape Spear

A week or so ago James and I went out to Cape Spear, the most Eastern Point in North America! It is also now the Official most Eastern point I have ever been too. A lighthouse has operated at Cape Spear since September 1836. The Original Cape Spear Lighthouse (Because there are two there now) was the second lighthouse built in Newfoundland; the first was built in 1810 at Fort Amherst. Random facts that I found on Wikipedia I also kinda like being able tosay that I lived in the most Eastern City in North America, St. John's.
Anyways, James and I have been having a Blast here in Newfoundland. We live in a house with almost all of the other liberty workers and I have to say that living with guys is 100 times better than living with girls! At least, better than A girl I had to live with. They are so chill and really fun. It has been a really relaxed and fun few weeks that I have been here so far.
Some of the Liberty Guy's we live with.
The weather has been really rainy and windy, but the last few days it has really cleared up. What I mean is, We Actually Saw the SUN! I don't mind the weather because the company has been great, but Seeing the Sun makes this Newfoundland Adventure that much better.
The Giant rocks were crazy! They looked like they were made up of small rocks red cemented together.
WWII Canon's and Bunkers left around the Cliffs.

Spring playtime

Before I went in for a revision surgery on Monday the 16th, I had some time to spend with Family. This is just a little video clip I made of the kids playing outside one day. I thought I would practice up on my skills, so that when I get a nice camera it will turn out a little better. Enjoy!

Newfoundland

James will no longer be in the North Office for the summer traveling around northern Alberta and British Columbia. He will now be on the most Eastern tip of North America in St. John's Newfoundland. He is actually on his way right now in our little Orange car with his sister Cheryl to keep him company until they reach her home out east, and then he must drive and ferry the rest of the way alone.
I will remain in Edmonton. To work until the end of August, but thankfully I will at least get one trip to see him out east this summer. Perhaps I will even get to see an Iceberg!? But from what I can tell, Newfoundland is a little bit Alaska mixed with some British Titanic flavour topped with a little bit of Scotland. But I'm not 100% sure on that yet.
I know for SURE though, I will def.take a photo on the furthest Easterly point of the Western World. And it will be awesome. I would also like to hike through the GORGEOUS Gros Morne National Park, it looks absolutely Stunning! Other than that though, I'm not sure. I still have to do a little bit of research on the area to make sure that James and I make the most of the time we have together.

Love Always,

Easter Surprise!

I Have been in my new Apartment for nearly three weeks now and have done so many things, but I have neglected to photograph or tell you about Any of it! I think you may be wondering right now, "Why does Angela have a picture of Kimmy with Poo flying out her Bum?" Well, I shall tell you. =] Kimmy tried to do a cleanse with ISAGENIX but soon gave up on that endeavor, leaving Sam to cleanse alone. Kim then realized that she had not had a bowel movement in over a week! And she told us her average (concerning the matter).
So . . . like any normal person, she took 2 E-LAX's. After 8 or more hours she STILL hadn't gone! She even pulled her pants down in the middle of the kitchen and laid on the floor attempting to move it through her system. All I can say, is that the only thing accomplished with that was a bunch of laughter, and a couple of photographs of her behind in the air LOL!!!!
Eventually, she was told by Ryan to drink a liter of Salt Water. Well, that sure cleaned out her system hahaha. And everyone could hear everything from downstairs.

On a Different note. Today I awoke to an Easter Gift from Sam awaiting me on the kitchen table. It was so Sweet of her! And I loved the note she wrote. Best Easter Ever! (This year).

Summer Home

Well, I am all moved in to my new apartment, which I will be living in for the Summer. There are five of us there, all are LDS and four of the five are single. AND funny story, Elder Miller (One of the Elder's from Fort St. John last summer that we had prank wars with and that we hung out with all summer (lived in our building)). He was at General Conference (in my new stake Building) and he is one of the missionaries in the singles ward!!! Lol so funny! Too bad he's not in my ward. But that's O.K., if the girl's ever feed the missionaries I can say Hello to him again =] AND Elder Bridaeu, (the other Elder from last summer) is out in Sherwood Park, which is right next to Edmonton! Super cool! Anyways, I thought I would give you the tour of my new home. There are 3 Bedrooms upstairs, and 1 1/2 baths. This is the Kitchen, which is to the right of the front door when you first walk in . . .

Spring Break in Okotoks

For Spring Break we traveled to Canada to visit Family! It was great week, but a lot colder than we're used too (Since our move to Boise). We stayed in Calgary area for the week and then traveled to Edmonton at the end of it to drop me off in my new apartment. James got his watch that he won for doing up-sells over the summer while we were there, and it is awesome! It's for divers and surfers, so you can bet he'll be wearing it as often as possible.
James flew back to Boise at the end of our week to finish school for the semester and then he will be up North in the same area as me for the summer. I'm trying to look at it from a military wife's perspective while we're apart. At least it's only for 5 months, we get visits, can talk as often as we want AND we have Skype. The worst part of it will just be the first month and a half while he's finishing school, because we don't have the money for any visits until after he's out. Other than that it won't be so bad. It could be worse. He could be in the military for reals, and then I wouldn't see him for longer lengths of time, minimal calls AND I would be worrying about him not coming home at all. So, I'm grateful for our circumstances when I compare them to other's circumstances.
A Misty Frozen Fog came through our first night in Okotoks creating poky and cool looking trees! It looked Awesome Everywhere!We babysat Zoe for a few days while Christa had a girls weekend with her Mom and Sister. Zoe fed Cleo some yummy cheese! They ran around playing, and Cleo liked playing with Zoe, she just wasn't used to playing with her, so every now and then she would look at me to see what I was doing.
