One amazing week!

So It all began Friday morning at 6am. I was so excited it was friday and also my last day of work for two weeks. So with cell phone in hand, I decided to check my facebook via phone. I logged on and I had a friend request. I was thinking, "who could this be?" So i clicked on it and almost dropped my phone. Now most people have no idea who this person is, but when I went to Cali last year for Montessori Conference I met this man who was a speaker and he was a Montessori Music teacher (which is my interest and what I did at my old school, no time to do it at new school). His name is Frank Leto. Frank Leto ADDED ME ON FACEBOOK!!!! He is like a Raffi and Fred Penner. I have all his children CD's and my class LOVES him. I hear them walking around the classroom singing his songs I have played for them. It's a great feeling when they actually retain something you teach them!! So anyways, I was super excited. This year I didn't get to go to Cali and see him even though I was all signed up for his seminars, but nature took over and grounded me from flying (my miscarriage happened that night i was supposed to leave). So no Frank Leto for me. However, Cindy talked to him after one of the seminars and she video tapped him saying "Hi Jess, sorry you couldn't be here this year, but hello from California" oh my GOD! Then Cindy was walking through the vedors and his wife Pilar was talking to Cindy (she bought me a CD for the class) and his wife was "Yes I remember you two, she is short with dark hair" wow!!! So long story short, Frank Leto added me on facebook!
Next exciting thing? My aunt and I went to Burlington Mall to watch the olympic torch. While Jackie was in Oakville standing with Adam V, the rower, my aunt and I were standing there next to no other than MATT HAYES!! Now you can ask my mom and grandma, I LOVE HIM! it has been my goal the last 10 years to meet him! There he was right beside us. I called mom and was "mom we are standing next to Matt Hayes". Where is my camera? oh ya, at HOME!! boooo. So we followed him around for a bit before settling down in front of where the torch would be passing through (which we later somehow ended up 4 people deep, we went from first row to like fourth, how did we get pushed back? so annoying people are especially this holiday season. Anywho, before we got bumped back Matt Hayes came around and wished us a Merry Christmas personally!! woo hoo! Matt Hayes wished us, my aunt and I a merry christmas!!! My aunt talked to him but i was too shy to speak. I didn't want to sound like a star stuck teenager. ha ha ha.
So while we waited for the torch the anticipation was growing. Here comes some buses, but where is the torch? oh here it comes. Right when it passed us I got a bit teary eyed. I was so happy i got to experience this and felt so much Canadian Pride at that very moment. And that my friends is one of the best weeks of my life. My life is almost complete, just working on the last chapter (baby making time)!!!

Welcom BAck

Well it feels like forever that I have written here. Hope I haven't lost my readers interests. ha ha ha. Heather are you still out there reading? Nicole? Jack?
Well the Policelli's (Phil and I) had our first annual open house (Christmas one) and let me just say we had way too much food. People ate and ate but it didn't seem to make a dent in our servings. I didn't even cook the frozen apps. Who's coming over during the holidays to eat apps? Heather and Aaron I think you are over due for a visit!!
Funny thing happened yesterday. My dad went to the dentist for his bi annual cleaning. I guess our hygenist now takes your blood pressure. She told dad he has high blood pressure. ha ha ha. So Phil goes " does your family doctor clean your teeth?" So needless to say dad had to go to the dr's today after work. His blood pressure is only 10 points too high. Nothing a little weight loss can't cure. Now i'm on a mission to get him to eat right and healthy. Although he is a healthy eater (due to high colestoral problems), he just doesn't know portion control. Perhaps he should be the one eating off a small plate, not mom and I. also perhaps he shouldn't eat out of the pot/pan after he has already had two plates of food. Now this man should be on the biggest loser for the amount of food he eats. But he doesn't weigh 400 pounds. He's always had a high motabilism (damn him for not passing that gene down to his children, but thanks for the great teeth I have all cause of his genes). Anyways, i will try and make sure he doesn't eat tons after dinner.
That's really all that has been going on. Now we are getting ready for our first Christmas in our new house!!! Bring on the entire family here on Christmas day!!!
