Summer Time Fun

Wow! I can't believe its August already. Where has the time gone? It feels like we haven't had summer yet with the exceedingly mild tempuratures. Like I've said many times before I don't know if I'm suppose to be living in this country, way to cold for me. I like it in the 20's especially when there is no wind. bliss!!!

Well since I've written last, life has gotten quite busy. I had my first ever yard sale. Which surprisingly was a lot of fun. Sold much of our stuff. I had stuff from when I was a child. I know I know pack rat. I am getting better though. We made a good dime from the yard sale. Ooo another thing, Jer was able to switch jobs, which we are so thankful to God for letting him do so. He was laid off from the last one and was given a new job within the week. Isn't God amazing?!?!?! Jer's also working at the Thorpe center. For those of you who don't know what that is, its basically an addictions recovery center. jer works there two days a month just hanging out with the people there and showing them that they can have fun without drugs, alchahol or gambling.

We also just came back from our first camping trip in two years. It was quite interesting, its was Kadie's first time. It was tough with her, trying to keep her busy. The trip was good, i know the girls had a good time, but it was exhausting for Jer and I. First there was a big storm that came upon us the second night and also we saw a bear that day. So we were a nervous wreck for a lot of it. We actually left a day early, because we were so tired. We will try again , when Kadie is older.

What we have left of summer will basically be relaxing and enjoying ourselves and having fun as a family.

Life in June

Well, since I've just read up on my friends site, which I'm always inspired to continue with my blog after I read hers, here I am.  It's been extremely busy these past couple months, life being in a whirlwind of activity and change.

Jeremy has changed jobs, his other temporarily on hold.  He works at midwest communications as well as the Thorpe center.  We are getting by, living the life that God has given us and trying to appreciate the changes within it.  

We've also been busy with my Grandmothers funeral and having family over for several days.  Senaye finishing up with her preschool, which I find very relaxing now.  I'm not much for scheduled events in my week, it stresses me out.  Then June fell upon us suddenly and we were busy with Jeremy's brothers wedding, which was very beautiful but I didn't get any pictures of.  My hands were full with the little ones.  A week after the wedding I traveled with my family to Fairmont for a nice week long vacation.  We had a  lot of fun, we were sad that Jer wasn't able to join us.  The weekend after I got back I was back in Edmonton for a family reunion which I helped plan.  I just got back from that today.  Even though its been a good month, I'm glad its over and I hope to enjoy the rest of my summer a little quieter.

I'm in the middle of going though all our stuff for a garage sale our neighbors and us are having in a couple weeks.  Feels great getting rid of a lot of stuff, especially stuff from my child hood.  I'm a pack rat, so whatever I can give away, sell or throw away is a great achievement for myself.  Not much else to say, I'll try posting some pics and you can see what fun we've been having the last little bit.

Chitchats

You all probably have been wondering where I've been.  Probably thought I'd forgotten all about this blog, which I have or I just pushed to the side the last 7 or 8 months, wow has it been that long?  I'm still here, alive and kicking.  Life's had its ups and downs, mostly downs.  God has been really testing our faith here.  We are sure feeling it.  When I started this blog it was suppose to be about all the exciting things that were suppose to happen to us, alas all of those plans and dreams fell through, for now.  I guess thats why I haven't been writing is because it was kind of depressing coming back to something that was suppose to be one thing and it didn't turn out that way.  Life's been tough, not wanting anybodys pity or anything I'm just saying what has been and continues to be.  Jer's job got put on hold for a bit so he had to go and find a temporary job until his other job is ready for him.  Which was a total God send.  Many people right now have been looking for jobs for month and this one happened to be in the newspaper the week we started looking.  Jeremy basically was hired the day of his interview, everything fell into place after that.  Amazing!!!  God sure knows how to answer prayers right when they needed to be answered.

I've started up my sewing machine again, I'm going to take a stab at it again.  I haven't touched since before Kadie was born.  I'm a perfectionist, if something doesn't go right the first time and it has to go well, then I just give up and not come to back to it for a long time.  Here I am on the same project that I started about 2 years ago but now it's for Kadie not Senaye.  Too funny!  

Thats where life is at right now.  Hopefully I still have some readers out there if not I'm just blabbing to the internet space out there.
