Some very exciting news!!!

Let me start by saying, I'M HEATHER'S MAID OF HONOUR!!!! woo hoo, this is sooo exciting for me. I have to get online and look for cool things to do for her and Aaron.
I can't wait to see my bestest friend get married in front of a small crowd of people.
Update on Patrick Swayze's autobio....he met Jennifer Gray onset of Red Dawn. I already knew they didn't like one another while filming Dirty Dancing but I didn't know it stemmed back to the movie Red Dawn and it was there that they first met. As I read his book, I get very sad. Here I am reading this book of the greatest actor in my time and it's his words on the page I read and he is gone. It is very sad.
Phil and I started trying again for a baby. They say three months is the magic number. I just finished being three months since the m/c. I even bought an ovulation kit (yes Jack, I broke down and bought one). Every one I have talked to that has had a m/c conceived after three months. I won't know for about a week or so if it worked for us. I'll keep you all posted.

So Excited!

Well as most of you probably already know, my best friend in the whole entire world is getting MARRIED and I am sooooo happy for her, aka Heather!!! I love this chicky with all my heart. I can't wait until her big day, (which is going to be when?) I have seen this chicky through thick and thin and vise versa. I know A-Ron is going to be a great husband to her and she deserves it. I'll never forget the first time she ever told me about him. It was A-ron this and A-ron that. ha ha ha. "we met in the stairway today"....good job Heather. ha ha ha. I remember sitting in her appartment (when we lived together for a bit) and the romantic things she said. Sooo cute. The more and more time I spend with him, he really reminds me of Phil. They are a lot alike (especailly with the whole decorating thing) and here I thought I was the only one with a metrosexual hubby. Welcome to my world babe. Next thing, he'll be planning your wedding, trust me! ha ha ha. Heather, I just want you to know that I love you (since kindergarten). And now that you are getting married, we can have babies together! woo hoo! But seriously, I am so happy for you and very proud to call you my friend and my sister! MUA!!! xoxoxoxoxo

A tribute blog to Jackie!!

My friend Jackie and I have been really close friends since we were in grade 8. I remember it quite clear. I was upset because in grade 8 she invited some girls to her birthday party, but didn't invite me!! THEN she wrote in my yearbook in grade like 10...."nice to be your aquantance". I was soooo upset. I thought we were more than that. Turns out we were. Jackie later explained what she was meant when she wrote that (but not until we were in our 20's). Over the years Jackie and I went our separate ways in university. But, we remained friends and we were always there for eachother when we got lonely. I would go visit her and we'd talk on the phone when she was lonely and missing home and didn't want to go out. It was in university where we both met girls named Alicia and these Alicia's turned out to become each of our best friends (does that make sense?) Jackie has seen me go through a lot and like she said in her blog, she always thought about her friends even though we may think she wasn't. It wasn't until recently she told me that she was soooo worried about me making the wrong decision 4 years ago and wanted to stop my relationship i had before Phil. It's always nice to hear that your friends care so much about you!!! I am very proud to call Jack my friend and am glad we have stayed friends for soooooo long and I couldn't see my life without her. I am going to miss her soooo much while she is gone living her dream for a year! You go girl!!! You may be gone for a long time but it will allllll be worth it in the end. And always remember you can come live at my house when you get back. We have a complete basement for you, bathroom with shower and all!!! It's there for you when you need it (rent free!! ha ha ha). I love you and will miss you! Keep reading my blog so you can stayed connected about what is going on here with all of us!!

Patrick Swayze, I had the Time of my Life! (Cole's Notes version)

So one of my gifts from Phil was Patrick Swayze's autobiography (which i was told means he wrote it) ha ha ha. So in conversation Jackie and I keep talking about coincendences. We are both all about things happening for reasons and what have you. Well I started reading my Patrick Swayze book and almost had to put it away for a bit because it was just too sad for me (and I was only on the prologue). He discribed how he found out he had cancer and the first signs he felt. Then through reading, we have many simularites (or as Jackie would say, he has lots of simularities with my dad). Anyways, his dad's name was Jesse (just like me)! My dad was born, Aug 21st 1952, and Patrick was born Aug 18th, 1952. My parents got married June 22, 1974 and Patrick and Lisa got married June 12th, 1975. Patrick also worked at a hockey arena, just like me!! It's like we were meant to be...ha ha ha.
On a serious note, it's a very good book and I will give you the coles notes on it as I get farther and farther along.

A year in Review!!

Wow, where do i begin? Thank goodness I didn't title this "A decade in review". Well, it was a very busy year with many ups and downs. In Jan of 2009, we were planning a wedding, a honeymoon and worrying about a house. May 2009, I got married and had the best time of my friggin' life. I will never ever forget that night for as long as i live. That whole night was every thing I had ever wanted in life/a wedding. It makes me smile when my friends and family say things like "yup, that was totally a Jess wedding" or that it reminded them of me and Phil. Then Phil and I went on our honeymoon to Barbados (I should probably get those photos developed). Then we came back and the house hunt became very serious. Two weeks after we got back we found our dream house. In such a short time we transformed this pink and brown house to how we wanted it. It still needs lots of work (like paint and decorations) but that will come in time. Then right away I became pregnant only to find out at week 12 that the baby stopped growing at 6.5 weeks. That was horrible and I never want anyone to have to experiance that ever!! We had our first Christmas in our new house and we have been busy entertaining a few people here and there. Christmas was a great success at the Policelli house and New Years Eve was a night we will be talking about for a while (at my expense mind you). I'd like to forget that evening but people keep bringing it up. ha ha ha. So when I look back at the year in review, all i can think of is "what a year it was". I hope this year is even bigger and better than the last. Our lives have only just started to begin.
Keep checking back here people because I have learned a lot of things from reading Patrick Swayze's biography that I am dying to share with you ALL!!!
