MAY!

(Google images, of course)
Is it just me, or did April go by INCREDIBLY fast??


May already! Before we know it, Summer will be here! Though it hardly even feels like Spring being that it was snowing the past 2 days -.- The sun did come out today though :D! Maybe here to stay this time??
We'll see about that ;)

April wasn't too terribly busy, but here are the highlights...

- (end of March/the beginning of April) Scott and I bought and moved into our new house. So this month has included a fair amount of work in that regard including...unpacking, getting settled, getting a few new things, and moving the rest of the stuff downstairs into the undeveloped basement to forget about it ;)
But if you haven't yet, you can see the tour of our home here.

- at the beginning of April, I had just finished my 30 day hot yoga challenge...which was awesome!
I loved it SO much that I decided to stick to it and buy a pass so I could continue going! I even tried out, and have been enjoying my new mat (The Mat) from Lululemon. (Here and here). I use it all the time now and I DEFINITELY prefer it to a regular yoga mat now...though I will say, I haven't tried out a regular mat with a hot yoga towel, so I can't say how it compares to that.
I'd say in this past month, I've probably gone about 26ish days out of the 30 because I generally average out to about 6 classes a week. Still enjoying it :D

Yoga kitty pictures are cute! (Google images)

- Scott and I (mainly me), made our way through a rather sizable amount of Easter candy. It was delicious ;)

- We hung out with some good friends on the weekends :D

- I tried baking a few new things (cookies, muffins, banana bread) and they actually all turned out pretty successfully, which is awesome!

- I saw The Host, Jurassic Park {with Scott on a 'cheap Tuesday' in 3D...3D made it pretty awesome and there were even a few extended scenes}, and part of Pain & Gain. I'd recommend Jurassic Park (of course), The Host is an iffy one, and I don't think I'd recommend Pain & Gain to anyone. But to each their own!

What were your highlights this month?? 
Try some baking? 
See some movies? ;)

I don't quite know what's in store for May...but we shall see!

Do you have any big plans for this month??

Love you too.

And let us end things on a George note, because it's the best way to do it.


We found him hiding in the bed. Good thing I didn't jump on him!

The Host

Ok, not a ton has been going on...so nothing really to talk about.

Living life, y'know?

This past weekend, Scott and I got some Ben and Frances time in again. YAY!
Pretty well half the day! It was nice :)
(After a morning Hot Fusion class with Paige...challenging, but awesome!)

It started out at our place and then we ventured into the land of downtown Calgary!
Did I take any pictures? No. Because I'm the worst blogger ever -.-
It was a cold, foggy day.
Frances had to take some pictures at the Olympic Plaza for a project for school. Scott was taking pictures as well, because he likes to. I was just meandering around being all chilly like...ok, I was also terrorizing all surrounding birds because that's what I do.

We then headed back to our place, after picking up Wendy's :D YAY!

Then Scott and Ben went to Conference and for wings while Frances and I had our own adventure.
Started with grabbing a couple groceries quick while some 50% off Easter candy was also gotten, then back home quickly and then to the movies!

What was in store for us?
The Host!

Heard of it?
Based off a book written by Stephenie Meyer (yes, think Twilight...). But in my opinion, this book was BETTER than the Twilight series. Nothing to do with vampires.
Basically the premise being that since humans are so violent, they're slowly killing each other off SO another species steps in.
Not aliens like you see in other movies, but basically, an alien like thing. They're small and can only survive while either implanted in another being - a host! - or if in a special capsule to travel between worlds.
However, after the humans are being hosted, they're no longer themselves...and their will and personality can slowly fade away.
The story follows a girl and a few surviving humans that haven't been taken over.
That's all I'll say in regards to the story.
I personally thought it was very well cast and I liked it!

My rating of this movie will probably be a little off because I haven't seen a movie in quite a while, but I'm actually going to give it ****(4)/5! I enjoyed it!
It's definitely a little bit more on the chick flicky end of things....but I recommend it regardless! Any other questions, feel free to ask!

Sunday, we went to Rob and Mel's place for a crepe feast while Conference was on. It was VERY delicious...thanks Rob and Mel (and little Kiera)!

There's a few things to share in regards to George, but that can wait for another day ;)

How was your weekend??
What movies have YOU seen lately?

Love you too.
