Today is Tuesday, July 18, 2017 and it is the 23rd day until my 60th Birthday.
I will just have to add the ones that I miss when I think of something.
2000: Came in without most of the problems that were forecasted regarding the computers, which was a huge relief.
2001:
2002: My beloved daughter moves to Edmonton, Alberta and two days later I go on a vacation to the U.S. with a friend. It was perfect timing so I would be moping around the apartment missing my girl. Still missed her but was not at home to be reminded every moment. Visited Las Vegas and area and went to San Diego and the day trip to Mexico (the crossing was out of a movie and not a good thing). A close family friend’s daughter had first of her three children.
2003: My first great niece was born ….. such a cutie pie.
Well I received a HUGE reminder of something that happened in 2004.
2004: My daughter graduated from the Photography Program at NAIT and then went on to work for one of the City Councillors. How did I forget those items??? Maybe I am thinking too hard.
2005: My first born great nephew and the apply of his “Anta’s eye.”
2006:
2007: Elton John concert? or was it 2006? Regardless of when it was amazing. We lost our little “J” ….. another heartbreak.
2008: My first born nephew marries, I retired from working at same company for 30 years and my daughter marries all within a couple of months. Attend Celine Dion Concert in Edmonton.
2009: Buy my first house, 1/2 duplex in Edmonton close to my daughter and son-in-law and grand-pups and move to Edmonton at end of March. My beloved J passes.
2010: Enjoying semi-retirement. Back to Regina for a visit with my girl. How could I have possibly forgotten this: I adopted my darling ALVIN CHARLIE LEWIS in January 2010 and my life once again was transformed. I am so happy that Me Alvin is not too good on the computer or else I would be in BIG trouble. OMG, how did I forget. Just going with the flow. I will post the years as I think of things for the last decade.
2011: Started working at Bath & Body Works at West Edmonton Mall. Now that is a start to going back to work. It was hard work but amazing. That was in April and then in July I started as a temp at Capital Region Housing Corporation. What a year.
2012:
2013: Working two jobs ….
2014: I had the highest sales per hour in the company at the store. My daughter, son-in-law, Elton & Penny moved in with me and Alvin for almost one year while their new house was being built. We loved having them with us.
2015: Kids moved into their new house in April. House was not the same after they moved out. Worked last shifts at Bath & Body Works, miss the girls and the store in April. Started to sell Steeped Tea in August.
2016:
2017: This is a big year for me and all those who were born in 1957.
