There's something about the whole atmosphere at Scott's cottage. Once I got there I automatically felt at rest. Friday night we didn't do much. There was only 3 of us, Dave, Jay and myself. We just visited, played a little of outburst, and then went to bed. Scott and Gill didn't arrive until 12:30-1:00am so I didn't see them until the next morning. It was so lovely. Yvnonne arrived around 3:30 and that night we played games and talked. Sunday morning Scott seriously signed Yvonne and I up for door greeting at the church. We weren't sure if we needed to doubt or believe him, but sure enough we got there, and on the bulletin board was our names! We happily did that together, greeting complete strangers into their church that we don't attend! hahaha It was fun. There was swimming and boat riding, and some did the water skiing. I was so tempted for the tube, and had Dave blown it up, I probably would have justified myself into it. But I was a good girl, or so my Mom would tell me. She was nervous that I would do something like that!
Now it's Monday. Work was busy, I'm taking phones all day for this whole week. Plus my mind is jumping with all the things that I need to accomplish. Tonight I'm hoping to meet with Christa to plan this women's shopping trip for October. I have to make up invitations for the local girls to come to my place for a Signature Homestyles party that my Aunt wants me to host as she's becoming a new rep. That's the end of September. Then my Mom who is so excited about Baby, is hoping to plan for a baby shower with family members in October, which means Dave and I need to be on the ball and start making a list of things we need for this little one. Let alone think about the nursery! There's so much happening. All this makes me so tired!
Ahhh I'm gonna go and relax before I leave!

One More Day
Oh the weekend is almost here. I'm looking forward to a relaxing time away at Scott's cottage. I'm really looking forward to naps and boat rides! I have been so tired lately and I'm in need of some sort of thrill and since tubing is out, Scott better give me a good boat ride! This week has gone by really well that. Work is picking up for me as our department has a huge project that we just started into and I'll be busy working on that until I leave. I saw Lesya last Friday. That was great. She flies back to BC tomorrow. But it was great seeing her. We took a nice long stroll down her side road and then like two little girls we walked along a little creek in our shoes and stood in it laughing and talking. It was so nice. Then I was welcomed for dinner with the whole family. That was hilarious! Mr. Moore told me that I could possibly at present have both male and female parts. I love how things fascinate them!
Dave and I fostered another kitten over night, that's 2 in the past 2 weeks. Two of my friends wanted kittens for their families, so two little girls got adopted from the farm. What a better life for them! It was fun to have a kitten for a night or two. It really ticked off Hockley and Sunshine though! hehehe
Church league baseball is over for the season now. So our Thursday nights are free for a short while. Not for long I assume! With fall comes Small group and Adventure Club and for Dave more meetings and probably volleyball.
Next weekend is the O'ville fall fair. I probably will be there for it atleast one of the days. Norma is going to be in O'ville all weekend, so we're making plans to see eachother. Then if it all works out, I'll get to see the demolition derby and eat a funnel cake. Mmmmm funnel cakes! They better have them, if not I'm going to East Side Mario's 'cause I really want one!

wow Where did Summer go?
I'm having a difficult time with this date. Where has summer gone?
This is the baby quilt that we're going with. I love it, isn't it cute? Barnyard animals! Totally suitable I thought! Now the challenge is what colour to paint. I'm sure we'll coming up with some ideas.

Bright Red and Shiney
Yes, our new family vehicle arrived home yesterday. Dave traded in his truck and upgraded to a Dodge Ram Megacab. It's a lovely red colour which I adore, but it's a monster truck! It's huge. I love it. When Baby arrives, I'll need a step ladder to get up there with it! hahaha. We spent months discussing which vehicle to upgrade, and because my car is already baby compatible, we figured the truck was what needed to go. Also my car will have a longer life I think rather than what his truck would have had. I'll be the driver because of the whole save on gas issue, but this won't happen until Dave is comfortable driving standard into work.
This week at work has been difficult. Not because of the amount of work there is, but after spending a relaxing week of naps and early nights, my body got used to that amount of rest and is now protesting against not getting it. My eyes are so heavy at present. But I carry on.
Other exciting news this week is Christa and Steve finally made it public knowledge that they too are expecting. We've known for some time now, but were asked to keep it on the down low until she had her first doctor appointment. She's due March 3. It's so neat because our children will only be 3 months apart. It is always exciting talking baby talk. Even the guys get into it sometimes too.
If I get on the ball, I'll try and post some pictures of the new beast and then some! I feel like I have accomplished nothing lately and there's sooo much on my plate that needs to be organized! What will I ever do?

Week of Peace and Reflection and Food!
We arrived home last night after a full day of driving. I had a great week. It started last Thursday night when we departed Elmira around 11pm. Steve and Christa were driving Dave and I with their truck and utility trailer. Kris and Shannon had rented a mini van and Sharlene and Jason had rented a SUV. Dave and I lasted as far as Barrie when I bailed on their ride and joined Kris and Shannon. We had a very safe drive up and arrived in Agawa Bay roughly around 10:30am. Between the 9 of us we had 2 camp sites. Steve and Christa was on ours. Friday we napped and had a good supper.
Now with camping comes lots of food. Christa and I were terrible as we totally stoocked up on all the junk you could possibly imagine. Chocolate bars, candy, chips, cookies. It was great! I'm totally afraid to step on the scale to see the damage of this past week, as yes the wieght has begun to be put on. As much as 18lbs so far. I am 23 wks along now, in a few more days I'll be 6mths.
Anyway, we had great weather. On Sunday I think I over did myself with a hike and then a long swim, as Monday I was pretty sick. I lost both breakfast and lunch and that is still with taking my medicine! I rested a great deal that day. Then of course after feeling heaps better a sinus cold settled in for the rest of my time there. But despite that all, I enjoyed every second there.
I can't describe how beautiful it is there. The water alone blows me away. I can swim out as far as my arms would take me and still see the bottom, yet it was so very deep. The sunsets are always pretty too.
Spending the week with these friends was awesome too. You do so much bonding and laughing, it's hard to leave. Dave, Shannon and Sharlene are all cousins, but it was like camping with your family it was so fun. Their Aunt and Uncle Lorraine and Maynard was also there this week, in their luxery trailer at the other end of the park, we had lots of fun. Dave was able to do some hiking with Maynard, as I the pregnant one was incapable of keeping up with him. The first hike I did that Sunday was a very short one, along the rocks of the water to see indian pictographs and the steps back up to the parking lot killed me. I was so sad with myself wondering how on earth I let myself get this way. But I was reassured when I was told being pregnant can tire you out more than normal.
The week had some great laughs and memorable times. I think my favourite times was just being with everyone at the camp fires or at the water. I also enjoyed the trip home. I was totally dreading the drive home. But we had a great time. The four of us talked a lot, which made the time go faster. We stopped in Sudbury for awhile and found an East Side Mario's for lunch.
Oh and the cool thing too, was just before heading into Parry Sound, a big black bear ran across the road in front of us. It was so awesome! Dave also had an accident with a pop and candy that made me cry I was laughing so hard.
I'm sad the week is over. Today we will spend it cleaning up our stuff. Then we are going out to test drive some trucks, woohoo! I love doing that. We'll also buy something more for Baby, if not the bedding for the room, perhaps the stroller/car seat.
