the new look?

Imagine my shock of horror when I opened up my blog page after upgrading to the new blog. Its UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my poor baby blog. I guess my template wasn't included in the new one. Probably by the time you've read this, I'll have changed it all. But picture this, Text, no pictures, text, no pictures, and ugly! Hee hee.

Anyway, a much needed update to my blog:
I'll give you the condensed readers digest version of most of whats happened.
Got to Calgary, and had my bus changed to the faster more direct route to Kelowna, knocking 7 hours off of my original time. But when we hit the Revelstoke area we were stopped twice for a total of 3 hours for avalanche control. So when we arrived in Salmon Arm where I would have transfered to a bus to Kelowna, we were told that the bus had left and that we were to be taxied to Kelowna. So after a very tightly packed journey I arrived in Kelowna still 4 hours a head of everyone else's expectation.
The first week was good and bad for me. Good in that i got to see the people i missed, and bad in that EVERYONE who knew me seemed to want their piece of Dan and resulted in a PACKED schedule. It was good though. I missed everyone.
Got to go to my parents church (my childhood church too) . This would have been the first time our entire 9 person family attended at once. It was good.
This week was my relaxing week. Nothing planned except work. I got to go to a good friends house and give her her Christmas present and then make an effort to help move another friend into his new condo.
OHH... Christmas! what a great Christmas. perfect gifts all around and my parents went above and beyond to make it an amazing Christmas. I mean, does 3 i pods mean anything? I appreciated the family time the most though. I think I've had the hardest time adjusting to the newest sisters in the family because I was never home a lot, but this Christmas was the first I was able to really begin relaxing into this family again and not learning new personalities.


Not to sound mean or anything, but I GO BACK TO SK IN A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss my friends there alot.

but thats enough for me. I have to work in 2 hours....that sucks....
