For you 4 or 5 faithful readers...

Thanks for leaving comments...I suppose for 4 or 5 readers, I can keep going. As long as I keep getting comments... : ) jj

So just to clarify this whole facebook break thing...I don't think that Facebook is evil at all. I think it is a wonderful thing to help people keep in touch. I really enjoy it and can definitely see it's value. But, like many good things, Facebook is only good if you use it well. For me, it wasn't healthy anymore. I needed a break to refocus on my life and the blessings in it, rather than other people's lives and what I don't have. It's all about being focused on the right things...I'm thinking that a month will be long enough though. I am itching to get back to the world of Facebook. And I feel like I'm doing a good job of refocusing. (of course I feel like that!) But I also know that I feel good because the temptation isn't there...arg! I guess a little while longer won't hurt...much.

This month has been a month of slowing down a bit for summer. The first week, I was alone at home again (Nathan was at St. Laurent). It was a better week than when he was at PVBC...I was in the mindset of "I'm at home alone for a week" instead of thinking I would be seeing him and then not being able to for a week. Oh well. It was a good week, but SO much better to have him home!

Last weekend, we had our annual staff picnic for the lumber yard where I work. There are three stores owned by the same guy and every summer we have a picnic together at this go-kart/bumper boat/mini golf place and everyone brings their families and it's alot of fun. My tricep on one arm and bicep on the other arm are killing me though! I guess I raced too hard. One of my favorite things is completely shattering people's expectations of me. For example: Small, quiet, sweet girl...probably not that competitive, right? Probably going to drive slowly around the edge of the track and let the boys do the real racing? Not a chance! I like to be in there where the action is! I am insulted if I am told that I can race with the girls because the boys want to have some fun. That is dumb and I wish boys would realize that girls can race too. All the boys at work know that now, though...I gave them a run for their money. Well, a run for the boss' money. : )

Now we're home for a while. Well, I might be heading out to Elkhart, IN this weekend to help move my sister to seminary. But we'll see what the plans there become. If not, I think I am actually home for four and a half weeks. Then, we're headed off to Hepburn, SK. CAN'T wait to catch up with some friends and family! A week won't be long enough, but hey, it's a start! I think I'll have to cram in as many visits as possible! Nathan is taking a class so I have all day every day for coffee dates and chats!

Oh, and another exciting piece of news! Our friends, J & J just had a little baby boy last Friday! I dont' have any pictures, but you can just picture the cutest little baby boy ever and that's Isaiah. I love holding little babies, so it was just wonderful to visit them in the hospital and hold him before he was even 24 hours old! Congratulations, J & J!

Well, that's all for now! I'm going to head home for lunch (shouldn't be posting at work, but when there's no internet at home...)!

P.S - IF ANYONE DIDN'T COMMENT ON MY LAST POST, PLEASE DO! I'D STILL LOVE TO HEAR WHO'S READING!!! AND I DIDN'T GET MANY QUESTIONS TO ANSWER...STILL ACCEPTING... (Jill, I'll get to yours, I promise...I'll just wait til I have a few more!)
