Oops I did it again

That's right. I've been so busy the last month and a half that my blogs have been forgotten about so I'm going to give a quick update now and hopefully within a week I'll have some pictures and stories to post : )

Now, let's see...

I took my two boys to Clear Lake June 21st to enjoy a day at the beach and then go to a Wedding reception for one of my good friends from high school Natalie. She got married on the east coast and her family held a reception in Manitoba. I had a blast! I won a bet I made like 10 years ago (Tracy is expecting twins and she said she would never have kids!) All it took was the right guy to come along : ) And then I was able to catch up with some other high school buddies as well so it was great.

We moved into our new house in Alameda, SK on the 26th of June and have been unpacking, re-arranging, and doing those little needed things to fix up our house (closet organizers, towel racks, door stoppers, blinds & drapes...you get the jist). I'm finally starting to get my scrap space organized as that was the last thing to work on other than my office. I have started scrapbooking again and I've missed it so much!

My high school reunion was on July 4th so I headed back out to Virden for that. It was lots of fun. Lachlan and I spent some time at the park in the afternoon, went to the high school tour (man has it changed!) and then we went for supper at the Legion and then I dropped Lachlan off with my parent before the social. It was great catching up with some old school pals and I even found out that there are quite a few in the Carnduff / Oxbow area which was neat.

Marc's parent were in town the week of July 5 - 12 to camp at the Alameda Dam. They ended up staying overnight one night during the week because of a thunderstorm warning. Man that wind was blowing hard. It was scary. It never seems to fail when they go camping, luckily they could come over, which Preston loved. And then on the weekend Marc and Preston went camping there with them so they could go fishing. Lachlan and I came to visit on Friday night and Saturday morning / early afternoon and then headed back home. Unfortuantely I have been having pains in my leg that made me opt out on the camping trip. It was just too painful to sit on a camping chair or even to attempt to sleep on an air mattress so I passed on the opportunity.

I know there are other things that we've done in that time as well, but there's just too much to remember so I'll leave it at that for now and I'll try to post some pictures soon of our new house and what we've been doing as soon as I can. As for right now, I'm going to enjoy the nice weather we've been having and take some more pictures of my busy life.
