So…here is my long-awaited update…

I’ve sat down at the computer numerous times in the past two months, intending on updating my blog, but nothing came. I guess you could call it a severe case of writers block. Either that or not thinking my life is exciting enough to blog about…but excitement is not the point, is it?

Since February:

I’ve been working more hours at my job. We’ve been getting busier and busier since one of the other lumber yards in town closed its doors, so I’ve been working a lot more than I used to. I am currently working 10-5 daily (unless I leave early or have something up like babysitting at the church or teaching piano lessons). These feel like good hours. I was afraid of getting really overtired (like I did when I worked at my first job here in town), but I am finding that when you enjoy the work and the people you work with, it is much easier to be at work. It’s not quite as draining…

Since February, I have also ceased to be an active Creative Memories consultant. Because my last order was so large though (people stocking up), I made my quarterly sales and will still “technically” be a consultant until June sometime. But as far as stress goes, I’m done! Whoo-hoo! I loved it while I was doing it, but I was always thinking of how I was going to make my sales and ended up buying a lot of stock to fill my quota. That left me with a few things I will never use, but I was mostly smart about what I was ordering so that I’ll be able to use up my stock in the next couple years.

This weekend Nathan and I are going on a jr youth retreat. I’m excited-ish. I’m excited for how many connections get made during youth retreats, and how we get to know the kids so much better than we do for an hour and a half each week, but I’m SO tired just going into it and I find it VERY draining to be around people for so many hours with no break. I am definitely an introvert! Pray that I’ll have energy to hang out and have a good time and be there for the youth.

Next week, Nathan is taking a week-long intensive class in Winnipeg to go toward his seminary studies. That means he’ll be gone for a week. L I do get to go visit him and eat supper with him one night though. J I’m kinda looking forward to having the house to myself for a week (read: SPRING CLEANING!!!) but I always hate being away from Nathan. I miss him too much! Some people say, “Just wait till you’ve been married longer…” I don’t know about that. We’ve been married almost three years and it hasn’t really changed. It’s probably a good thing that I enjoy spending time with my hubby.

Speaking of my hubby, we just started a new blog! You should all check it out. The address is mccorkindale.blogspot.com. It’s a blog where we are going to try to post one picture a day that we’ve taken with our brand new Canon Rebel XTi. It’s our attempt at letting our artistic sides shine! I’m pretty excited about it. I posted today. I had to post two pictures for today though, because I couldn’t choose just one. It doesn’t matter what you take a picture of or whether the picture worked or not, when you take a picture with a DSLR (digital SLR), it looks good!

Well, I can’t think of anything else. There’s not much new around here. Just continuing on with our routine…working, going to youth, hanging out…

Until next time, keep fit and have fun!

Psst...blog

So...I got a nice reminder from a good friend that I should really update my blog.

Apparently people check it every now and then.

Who knew?

Well, this isn't much of an update...

It is just a quick post to those of you who still check back to let you know that I'm going to update soon.

And let me tell you...

When I post, it will be a doosie of a post!
