So I guess this has become my weekly journal rather than daily, haha! I guess my ambitions were running faster than reality for me. Life gets busy, but I think it's important for me to keep writing things down. Even the seemingly mundane things, I think I will appreciate them in years to come.
So lots has happened in a week. Maiya turned 4 officially on the 20th, and I turned 31 on the 21st. My friend Carrie took me out for lunch for my birthday and Rose also joined us. We went to Mr. Mikes. The food there was great and I got free dessert because it was my b-day. Grant took me out to dinner at my favourite restaurant in the evening (East Side Marios). I love it there. I never seem to get tired of it, and I usually order the exact same thing every time. Alex babysat for us while we went. On the Friday Grant and I went over to Carrie and Tyler Adams house for a couples games night with friends. It was fun, and the food was yummy as usual (gee, I seem to focus on food a lot). On the Saturday I went yard saling in the morning. There was a big community yard sale. So fun. I bought Damian a great bike (he was growing out of his other bike) and a pair of sandals and a magna doodle (love those). It was fun. Carrie and Sue came by on my b-day to give me a gift basket for my b-day. I got a new watch from them and a bunch of yummy treats. I have the best friends ever. Sunday was a nice day at church. It was also gorgeous outside, so we had a BBQ at Josh and Alex's house afterwards. Such a nice day for it. It was fun. We all sat outside in camp chairs and the kids played in the sandbox and stuff. Monday we had Grant around during the day, so we went for a walk to the park and then I went out for a photoshoot of the Kyle family in the afternoon.
Grant started training for his new job as the Store Manager of Town Shoes. He has 8 weeks of training ahead of him I went to Nose Creek Park and met up with Carrie to let the kids play for a while. When Grant got home at night I left to go grocery shopping. We watched "The Day the Earth Stood still" together. Today I went to the park in the morning with Sue, Carrie, Valene and all of our kids. We had a picnic there and let the kids play while we chatted. So fun, and what a great day for it. Afterwards we went home and my visiting teachers stopped by. It was too nice outside to be indoors, so we sat in the yard in the camp chairs and watched the kids play while we chatted. I always get such great visiting teachers. Well, the kids should be getting home soon, but I thought I should catch up on my blog a bit here.
