my NEW haircut.

Matt and I have had a terrible time with our internet connection and I dont want to go on and on for fear of losing it. Things here are going well. I had a pamper day on Friday and I got my eyebrows done and my hair cut. What do you think????
Love ya!

Its a Beautiful Day!

I thought I would write a little note while I was sitting here on my break. Things here are going pretty well. I have something again every night this week. Monday I had a nice visit with Annelie and then I went to go see Steph and Jefta and plan something for us to do at Christine's wedding.
Last night I had Praise Band practice. It didnt start until 6:30 so Matt and I had supper at Wendy's and then since we had time to kill we went and searched for a desk for Matt. He has decided to buy one because the design that he wanted to do he didnt end up liking and we found a nice one at KENT and it has nice rounded corners. That is so perfect for our small apartment, if you have been around me for any amout of time you will know that I always run into things with my hips. I havent gotten really used to my body yet..hehe. So the rounded corners will be pure bliss for my hips. :) So then we started looking at things we want to put in our house to see if we agreed on prince range. heheheh.... that should be an interesting "discussion" when the time comes. hehe. I think we will be able to come together in the middle.
Then tonight Matt is going biking with Rudi. His Wife Amy is coming to our apartment to have supper and a nice visit with me. I am looking forward to that, a nice chance to relax and enjoy each other's company.
Tomorrow night Matt and i are going to babysit and make some money for GAS for PEI on FRIDAY!!! I am starting work at 7:00 so I can get off at 3:30. Then I will go to the university and wait for Matt to be done...I hope he is done early. I also have a blood test at 1:30 to see if I have celiac... please pray. I would really like to not have it. Pray that I dont have it. We can pray about the other stuff later.... hehe.
Anyway, I have to get back to work and eat some blueberry muffins. YUMMM!
Love you all!!!!!!!

busy as a beaver

Hello All,
I think I just got myself caught up on everyone's blogs. It was nice to catch up on what everyone os doing. Things here have been really crazy, Matt and I stayed home this afternoon because we were both so worn out and I have a bad cold. So we are relaxing and getting rested up.
Matt is sitting beside be desining a desk. We are getting a new computer because our laptop is starting to get a little lazy and that would never do when Matt has to study and make sure things get done. It will be nice to have a dependable way to manage my social life and keep in touch with all of you.
We speant this last weekend well. Friday evening we went to Julia vanOord's house warming party. It was a really good time, I felt a little bad that Matt was the only guy there. But a good time was had by all. In the morning we met Rudi and Amy and went to a massive yardsale. It was like 3 streets and all the connecting streets. It was so much fun and I even found a few bargains.
>I got a sandwich/pizza pocket maker and a small george forman grill I offered $5 for both and the lady accepted te deal.
>I got 10 chocolate moulds for 75c (they will be perfect for GEMS)
>I got the book "My Utmost for His Highest" for 25c
>I made a bargain with a lady for a nice truck puzzle .25c
>2 dvds for $6
We made out pretty well.
After that we met up with Amy's dad Kevin. We all went out for lunch to the Hilltop. Then we went to Rusagonis (rush-a-gorn-ish) and looked at the lots that Kevin is selling there. He is making a whole sub-division there and there are other ones going up. Matt and I are thinking about buying one of the lots there. It was a beautiful peice of land.. no extraordinary views, but there are trees and a little brook. It was perfect and I think all the houses going up will be a good daycare market too. We'll see. Thats far away yet the land wont be ready for another two years. It is so fun to dream though.
Then we went to Rudi and Amy's chalet We sat on the deck that overlooks the river on a round couch thingy. Amy and I both started reading a book while Matt and Rudi puttered around with the hot tub. Then Amy and I both fell asleep and we woke up in time to leave for biblestudy.
Then we went to church today and had lunch there afterwards because our missionarys were here for a visit. It was a really good lunch even though I didnt even talk to the Steele's. :)
This week is already looking like another busy week we are going to PEI next weekend. I am so excited. The visit is long overdue. We havent been there since Canada day. I really need to see my family.. and we actually get to see everyone when we go there. Matt's Dad made time for us on Friday and then I am having brunch with Mom and Bec and I'm going to have a good chat with Dad in there too. Caleb and Damaris will get me in the early morning while I wait for the ladies to wake up. and then I am going to Christine's wedding in the afternoon. I am excited!!!
Anyway.. Matt said this is getting really long and he is wondering who is going to read it anyway. I realize that I have lost everyday readers with my unpredictable posting... Maybe it will get better once Matt is in school full time. But he has a lot of days where he has a lot of time to study while he waits for me to finish work.
Love you all and see you soon!
