Subtle....me??? I think not....

So Jonathan's computer had given up. It refuses to turn on, it just keeps making a strange beeping noise. We have hooked up another monitor to it to see if that is the problem, but no, it's dead. We were planning on getting him a new one in April when we move, but we'll get on that sooner....
In the meantime, my Windows loving man is using my Apple. I love it! It makes me giggle! Usually I am the one who can't figure out what the computer is doing, it's so nice to be the knowledgeable one for once!
I have also thought of a brilliant plan to get the cute mittens I posted yesterday. The page is open in Safari, but minimized, so, the next time he goes to use my computer (which will happen while I am at work today) the pretty mitts will pop up.....subtle? No, Greatly Upping my chances of getting the gorgeous mitts? Yes!

My other subtlety for today....I want a mini Christmas Tree for our basement. We moved in with Jon's parents last December and I missed having our own little tree to decorate and pile presents under. With all the chaos of finishing the basement while we were living there they didn't put a tree up either. So, yesterday when I was wrapping presents I was hinting constantly that we should get our own little tree for them to sit under. We'll see what happens, but this is an example of what I would love! So cute! And, for sappy memory's sake, our Christmas tree from our first year as a married couple planted in our back yard. Love!!!

Milestones

This week has been hectic, so not as much blogging time as I would like. I am also finding it hard to convince myself to write to myself....If someone else is reading, please follow and comment, then it won't seem so lonely!

Milestones for this week:
- Jonathan's birthday is tomorrow, he will be 26.... We had a party for him last night at Gateway Lanes, did some bowling, played some pool, watched the Oilers lose, spent some quality time with friends. Overall, it was an awesome night!
- We decided to start trying for a baby. Yes, we're young. yes we're moving to a different province in April. Yes, we're newlyweds. But we want a family so bad, and my doctor is worried about me having complications due to past surgeries. If we start trying now we will know what we are up against. We both want a big family (Jonathan has all 5 named already....) so if baby #1 (Jaqueline) is too hard on me or at risk herself we will start the adoption process to fill in the house.
- We are debating moving before we move. I know, doesn't that one sound like fun. We are moving from Edmonton to Victoria in April, which will be awesome! But right now we are staying with Jonathan's parents. I love them a ton and they are great people, but having our own space is so tempting! I haven't lived with parent's in a long, long time, so having someone there to monitor (and comment on) how much sleep we're getting, what we are eating, how much we work etc is new and not my favorite.
- Christmas shopping is officially done! One of the perks of our marketing business is the companies we advertise for need customers for Christmas. We just went through their websites, saved a ton of money and supported our clients. Sweet deal all around! It also gives us a week or so to figure out the house thing before I have to wrap gifts!

Jonathan & I last Christmas with my sister's little one....so ready for our own!
