Lazy days

Today really has been a lazy day, I love Saturdays. But we did do our housecleaning, but I got to read my book too, as well as go to the gym, impressive huh?

I'm really enjoying the gym, Tanya is an awesome gym buddy, she's so motivating it's great. And I have totally remembered why I love the treadmill... it is so much fun!

Anyways, I also got to have a good chat with my bro today, it was great. I really do miss him. And I could hear Ben, my nephew, in the background either chattering away in baby/new word speak or screaming when Bob told him to stop eating the 'bum cream'. Ah bless, I'm sad that I miss him growing up, and that he won't know me very well. I'm kinda hoping that when he's older like older teen or new adult, that he will come spend some time with us here in Canada, but that's a stupid long time in the future. But here's to the next UK visit, hopefully we'll get to spend more time with Bob, Marie-Ann and Ben next time. I need to spend more time with Marie-Ann she makes me laugh... LOTS, my sides always ache when I've been with her.

We're going to hang out with Daryl & Dawn, and Greg & Jess tonight, so that will definately be fun. Greg and Daryl are very entertaining together.

If anyone from home, family or friends, are reading this, I miss you all very much.

Summer activities

The pictures below are from:
1) The BBQ at Allison & Ryans
2) The Canada Remembers Air Show

The BBQ at A & R's came about because Ryan had just been on a fishing trip and I moaned that I hadn't had fresh fish in years, so they kindly invited me & L over for a fish fry, then we slowly invited others, until we weren't sure if there would be enough fish to satisfy everyone, so then I made souvlaki to bulk the meal out, and we ended up with far too much food, but it was SO GOOD. That was the night that Dale brought over ice-cream sandwiches for dessert, I wish I had taken a photo of them, the were NO ordinary ice-cream sandwich, they were deluxe, ask me about them s0metime, I could not do them justice here.

The Air Show was a source of excitement for L. He loves planes. So when I got free tickets from work, he was very excited. I have to admit that I wasn`t so excited, but it was a fun day. I really enjoyed the Snow Bird routine, they are very talented pilots, and it really must be very dangerous what they do, so hats off to them.

I am getting very excited about going back to YFC, I really do just want to get back to my desk, I am sure there is plenty waiting for me already. Oh well, just one more week.

Working out

Me and Tanya have been pretty good at going to work out, I'm pretty impressed with us. YAY for getting all hot and sweaty ;-) Seriously though, it does feel good, I feel happy once I am actually doing it. Sometimes I need a little kick in the butt to get started though.

So my mum will be here in 4 weeks time, and she gets to actually stay with us for the first time, even though this will be her 3rd visit..... yay for us actually having a house and a spare room! Hopefully September will be nice, it would be good if it was warm.

Only 3 more weeks at Cameco, then back to YFC. I'm excited about the up coming YFC year, Gil really is a dreamer, and it is exciting to help him make some of those idea's come to fruition like the Youth Pastors day we had in May. It is SO AWESOME to be working for a christian organisation the works with youth! YAY to speading the good news about Jesus to young people.

Doesn't Jesus make you excited, he makes me excited.... and I love working with other people who get excited about Jesus.... now I am all giddy.

And more pictures

I just wanted to share with you some of the beautiful views from the area of Cypress Hills in Southwest Saskatchewan. We went for the May long weekend, and had such a fun time. It was kinda an early anniversary thing. We stayed at a motel in Swift Current, and used a "Scenic Drives of Saskatchewan" book. It was great. I'm hoping we'll go back soon to see more.

I just think he looks handsome! 

So we're driving down this road, and I'm meant to tell Lindsay to turn right, to got to Eastend. But I must have been in a daze or something, because I watched the turn off go by... 

... and instead we ended up here.... thought my bro might find this amusing! 

SEE! There ARE some hills in Saskatchewan. 

We had fun at the T-Rex centre at Eastend, when we finally got there. 

Deer 

An old beavers dam, none live there now unfortunately. 

Me at the halfway bridge, this is from where I took the picture below. 

This is the halfway point, we had walked down one side of the beavers dam/pond and about to walk up the other side now. 

Boy on the bridge 

We could see for miles (literally), can't remember if this is Bald Butte or not, if it isn't this was taken just 1/2 a mile away from Bald Butte. 

Our house, in the middle of our street.... Our house... la la la la la la la la! 

Yay for pictures

So yeah, finally got our pictures sorted out, so here is some of the best from the last couple of monthes. Starting with Pete visiting (hurrah) and ending with Daniel's 5th Birthday. I have to say that the people included are a fine looking lot if I do say so myself (not that I'm biased or anything).

Land of the living skies. 

Me & Pete at YC YAY!!!  

Aren't they cute!
