Oh, Hi! It's been a while...

So...how are you? I know it's been a while. Sorry. I seem to be waiting for something really funny or profound to happen before I write a new post... Maybe too, I've been too busy. One thing I'm soooo excited about is the fact that my sister and family will be back for a visit in Canada in...3 1/2 weeks. This period of time that we've been apart has been the longest in our lives. It will have been 1 year 3 1/2 months. And for a couple of girls who really like one another, not just because she's my sister, that my friend is way to long! Our kids are going to have such a great time together. I'm praying that they'll get a super great job offer here and then buy a house in our neighbourhood, and our kids can go to the same school, we can go for runs together, and and and ... the plans are endless. I can't wait!

I've been working a good amount at the university. I started to also help out in the Biology department. (normally I've been in the Fine Arts dept.) That is nice and the way it is scheduled is pretty flexible, even better.

I told you that I hurt my ankle a while back, well...the stinkin' thing is still not great. I ran to the video store with my friend Sarah the other night (not far) and my ankle was moving like I imagine a prosthetic attachment would. So not cool. What 'lesson' should I be taking from this? That hasn't become clear yet. I'll let you know when it hits me!

Our 'sure thing' Saturday night friends, welcomed into the world their first little precious baby; Hunter Justin ~ He is the sweetest, little softest cutie pie around! (I can't say 'ever'...only because I have my own three...not quite so little now.) We will pray for their 'double sleep' for the nights to come.

My friend Tracey, has the roundest (cutest) ball for a tummy, just waiting to pop her ('their' ~ she has a Shane : )) own first born out into the world. It's pretty fun all these babies around.

Hmmmm...did I tell you that my sister is coming! : )

My friend Kelly will be home soon from a missions trip to Mexico. I can't wait to see her and hear her tales of adventure.

Hey..my 'boyfriend' and I just celebrated our 11th Anniversary! Wahoo to us! He took me to our favourite anniversary restaurant 'Il Terrazzo'. We went there the night he proposed to me, we sat outside on the terrace then as we did again the other night. Like a movie moment 12 years ago when we were there a little birdie ( the 'ie' is for the fact that it was a very small bird) came down and sat on the back of a chair right next to us and was walking around on the ground near my boyfriends sweater. Now if you know my guy you will wonder why on earth he had a sweater...even on the coldest day in winter he would love to have the window down when he drives. So, I too wondered why he had a sweater, I was trying SOOOO hard not to assume that there was a little box in that sweater with a little something gold and shinny! (A surprise...I've never had one of those 'AFVideo' moments where the person is shaking, squeals and falls down in a faint..I try not to let my mind wonder...I really do.) We had a really great evening, dinner at a really great place and then to a really romantic (?) movie...Spiderman 3! Heeehee.

I'm thinking of some more stuff to tell you ... but I think that I'm rambling so will leave you with that. Have a great Victoria day!
