YC Edmonton

Hey, we had SUCH a good weekend. I missed L lots (he didn't go), but had great fun hanging out with youth and friends. I managed to sunburn my forehead and nose, and get a HUGE bruise on my leg due to moshing.

Check back later for all the info and photo's (if our 'puter hasn't died).

Sleeeeeeeeeeeep

After 3 nights of none existant sleep, last night was sooooooo good. I felt so much better this morning. I have to say that I am now in awe of new mothers who for monthes don't really get a decent nights sleep, HOW DO THEY DO IT?

With this weekend being a long weekend, we are hoping to go away, still don't have anywhere to stay, but we're hopeful.


Oooooh and we're trying to decide what to do with our little patch of dirt... do we plant veggies or flowers.... choices choices.

Sleep deprivation

When everything is good and normal, I sleep like a log, Lindsay gets annoyed when I can fall asleep and stay asleep during the noisiest thunderstorms while he tosses and turns. And I am a person that SERIOUSLY needs her sleep, not that I can't do a weekend away with youth, I just prepare myself for a lack of sleep that weekend.

What I can't hack is when without warning I have 3 nights in a row without proper sleep. Yesterday wasn't so bad as work had a 'God morning', which meant I got up and spent the morning watching a Nooma DVD, then praying and reading my Bible, it was awesome to have a quiet morning with God. But this morning I feel like the walking dead, and to make it even more special I have stomach cramps too.... oh the joys.

Just 6 days to Pete arriving...... hurrah!

Loves

I LOVE:

Cornergas - it is just so 'split your sides' funny!!!! And I don't care if others say otherwise.
MSN 7 - I'm becoming a bother to Matt cos I just nudge and wink at him all day, bless.
Lindsay - he puts up with so much, I had the runs last night and he was such a sweety, I have an AWESOME husband!
Spring/Summer - BRING ON THE SUN
Steak - rare and bloody ... YUMMY
My Snr High Care group - they are such sweeties, I love our little group, I'm very excited going to Fuddruckers this Friday.
Saskatoon YFC - the team here are just 'class' to work with, and I love watching God work through this ministry.

Announcements

OK, OK, OK. Before anyone else gets their knickers in a twist, I have a couple of announcements, lets call this the 'Births, deaths and Marriages' of this blog (without the deaths thankfully).

Lets start with babies, I am REALLY pleased to announce the birth of Hannah Joy, the proud parents being Dawn and Derek, Hannah is SUCH a good baby, I love her lots already. Also my colleague at work Barb, has just had a little boy called Alexander. And our friend, who was on Y1 with L, Seth and his wife Lesley are expecting their first baby in November (I think). And last but not least one of my boys from Norwich, Dan, is getting married this coming summer to Naomi, who I haven't met yet, but I've been assured that she is a lovely girl.

On the Norwich note, Pete is coming to visit me in 2 weeks!!!! YAY. Very excited, just hope he doesn't hate the prairies, it's an acquired taste don't you know.

On a YFC note, we had our Youth Pastors day yesterday, so I was running around organising the food and taking lots of notes. I loved it. It was such a good day :-)

My random thoughts

This morning's random thoughts.... please don't rain today, I want the sun.... Man this song reminds me of Tim (my ex boyf), that was a stupid relationship..... I wonder if Daryl will take a picture of me in this T-Shirt for my mum... I can't remember when mum said she'd be arriving at my bro's.... what on earth do I buy Bob (bro) for his b'day.... stupid boys, they're so hard to buy for..... ooooh, I should send something for Ben (nephew), forget Bob, there is LOADS of cute stuff for Ben..... can someone please move those clouds out of the way!

And my mum wonders how I can veer off a subject so quickly;-)
