A Month in Summary

Oh Wow! Can it really be a month since my last post. Oops! Sorry, I have been busy, and to quote a classic movie, "There is too much, let me sum up!"

1) Mark has started work on our new basement suite. Work is progressing at a good rate and we hope to be in by September.

2) I have been working long hours and now, at the request (read-command) of my husband I will be trying to take a day off and work less than 12-14 hours a day.

3) I am no longer in the primary (WOOHOO!) and now I am shepherding around young girls in the hope that they will grow into upstanding adults. They certainly won't learn that from me. Now, sarcasm on the other hand, they may learn in spades!

4)I now knit. My first project is this huge afghan for Mark and I am about to finish.

5) I have read approximately 200 books

6) My brother and his wife and kids left me to explore the south. I was sad, but not so sad when I remembered what it is like to travel with small children. Suckers!

7) I got a great new recipe for crock pot oatmeal that is awesome! (and really healthy!)

8) Mark and I have decided to put our future family on hold (we are not trying to have a baby for a while). Instead we are neck and neck in a competition that will result in me being awesome and winning. That Mark is cagey, but I shall triumph!

I guess that this is about it for the last little while. We had some ups and downs this month emotionally with Mother's day and the first anniversary of my grandmother's death all coming on top of one another. But, all in all, things are good, and look to be getting even better.
