I wish I could say that "time flies when you're having fun" - but in this case the truer statement would be "time flies when you're stinkin' busy". This working thing has really cut into my time. Don't misunderstand - there are things about my job I absolutely love. Other things will be ironed out with time. It's a big learning curve.

My girls are winding up grades 9 and 7. Both will be in the high school next year - which is a treat for me. They'll both be able to walk and to come home for lunch. Reid's busy at work (the season for bottled water begins NOW) and along side of the job, I am still volunteering at the Teen Challenge Ladies Centre. And still loving it. We'll be celebrating another grad - two beautiful women who have been clean and sober for an entire year. Two lives radically changed and transformed by a power beyond what they have ever known. By a God who loves them like they've never been loved before. It's such a gift for me to celebrate with them.

This summer will be different. My job will require some weekends - so that will limit our camping/traveling plans. We'll still make the most - we'll just have to plan and prepare a little more. We just got the "Beautiful BC" magazine with "50 things to do in BC before you die". We'll start checking things off that list beginning this summer.

So much fun to have, so little summer left to do it....
