Saturday!

What a joy it was to wake up this morning without an alarm.  A Saturday to sleep in.  I was up at 8:30 and it was marvellous.  Just a lovely relaxing morning.  I did not consciously think about the fact that I did not have a day to get up without an alarm clock.  It is still strange not to have to set an alarm Friday night. Today is going to entail some cleaning, some outside time of some sort, it is beautiful out there, and some soccer tasks.  Getting all the coaches and assistant coaches and managers set up.  Getting there. I can see the end of the tunnel :)
Looking forward to seeing my mother-in-love and sister-in-love this week.  It has been a while.  Spring break for the kids, they are excited about it.  Had a great evening with friends last night. Playing games and visiting. Probably another reason I appreciated this morning so much! Well, can't put this cleaning thing off anymore, until next time.  jy

Titleless

No title, I really need to improve my typing skills so I thought I might blog a bit.  Although I must say, for only a couple weeks into this job and my typing skills have already tripled!  It is good.  
So, Lets see...wow, I can tell this is going to be a short blog, it might not even become one, lol. 
Been finishing up the soccer registration, that is going well.  Final day is Monday. Then I get to help put the teams together and stuff.  It is good.  Both my boys are anxious to start playing.  They practice in the driveway with our student and with their Dad. 
I am posting this, but hopefully, I will have some more interesting things to say next time.  Until then.

Bergen

Off to the Bergen Store with my family.  The owners are so great! I love them.  Being off on Saturday is very good!  I am spending more time with my family as a complete group.  Lovin' it!  The work weeks are much longer but the fact that I find this job so amazing and great makes everyday a joy to go to the mill!
Thinking of John Boyes as he is in Rwanda, praying for his safety and wisdom for those he is teaching about God.  It is a great day! Although I hear my boys arguing... they might not think it is a great day ;)

Work and Cake

(So I am not as consistent as I had planned but I have surprised myself because I am really enjoying writing on this blog when I do it.)

The employment situation for me is the greatest.  I am officially the hourly safety representative all by myself this week starting March 6th.  I have had the opportunity to be with the prior safety rep for many weeks of training and it has been well worth it.  The guy is terrific and I have learned a lot from him on what to do and what not to do.
I am, however, looking forward to making the position my own and having my own desk and space in the office.  Life here is good, as much as there are many things I would like to change, there are so many countless things and wonderful people to be thankful for!
Upcoming events include day trips to some training courses, Pastor John's trip to Rwanda, the Easter movie service, Pastor Mel's no retirement party, anything else that will pop up along the way and of course the things I have just forgotten to mention  :)
Thanks to James, my sweet sister-in-love and her brother (aka my husband), I have a terrific painting of Troy and I on our wedding day.  It turned out so great!  Thank you James for taking the time to do this for me.  If you want to see it you should come over for coffee and cake!  I found this most wonderful Chocolate Cake recipe that is decent on calories and amazing on taste.  I even brought some (hopefully Troy will not be too upset I gave some of "his" baking away) to my boys at work today 'cause I had a new employee observation to do and figured why not get some other things done too.  Turns out she was not there today so I could have slept in.  Oh well, I really did not mind, I am still in the honeymoon stage with my job. lol.
Well, time to put my finishing touches on the third cake I have made this week, Troy will still have his cake!!  Love you, my husband...
