Camping.. or not Camping that is the question...

Annual, which means every year, well this year it almost didn't - isn't going to happen.
I'm sad. not upset in a mad way - but FRIG i wish it would work out.

A small group of University friends and I, we started a camping trip. We always said we would go, every summer - a different province, a different camp site. Well this year - do to many reasons - one being the price of gas - argh - we are down from a possible 6 groups to 2. It's one of those things where you wish you could make all the reasons go away... but you can't. I wish everyone lived really close, that all the cars we all own would never break down...

Instead it will be Ev'y and Us. Doesn't it sound Thrilling (nothing against Ev'y). but we've changed our plans a little, changed our location - doing a few more sight seeing things - campfires by the ocean. Maybe see if my little brother wants to tag along etc.

I'm excited to go - even though it's just a small crowd... it'll be fun!

Albums, Albums everywhere and not a drop to drink (cause I'm trying to have babies...)

So in the last two days i've been able to help out my dear friends the Yorkes. I enjoy them throughly... and even though my time with Chera is spent organizing photos and ATGing them in place, I still enjoy that time!

I don't get to see Matt and Chera, or Chat and Mera (as I have said many a time) through out the school year, since they are in school, and I am not. So it's very nice to see them on summer holidays.

that was most of my day today.

Before the pictures, I was out to lunch (aha) with a good friend Natasha, and I just think I'm so blessed to have the friends I do...


I wish I could see my oher friends as much... sigh.

meh I'm not sure there was a point to this - but i'll pretend I had one when starting...

Meetings and More Meetings

It was a long day - i spent 4 hours at the church today - It was long, but not tiring. However, here I sit and my mind is drained... I have nothign to say - and yet I write.

I had coffee with a dear friend the other day - I really miss her - I'm glad she is moving closer, but saddened that so many moments are lost... for an entire period of my life I spent being too proud to go back, too hurt to trust, and too hardened to try... But that was then, and this is now.. I'm so thankful for Now.

God is good! I have today.

I'm such a SLACKER

Would you believe that the evil forces of Facebook were preventing me from updating?
No, not so much, huh?

It's true Shannon fashion to neglect the blog - I also neglect my journals, writing consistently until one day I'm not so consistent. I'm sure it's something Ill grow out of... when I err, grow up, err, more?

There is a lot I that i could catch up on, but I can't recall any of it right now - so maybe, just maybe, if I pick up the blogging thing with some sort of effort, I'll be able to remember and write it all down.

The big thing is that I'm not working at CCA anymore. I resigned (well I chose to not continue, and finished my contract) for a few reasons, but the biggest was the emotional side of life. Some things were getting to hard to hear from the children, and I wanted to leave before I became bitter. SO I left. It was really really hard. I do take so relief in the fact that David and I have felt God was taking my 'career' in a different directions, So leaving was a step in the right direction. I'm still looking for a job - I've applied at my Church, which would be amazing! I pray that this is where God was/is leading.

Umm What else... Oh as I write this I'm in Ev'y's living room. We got together last night with Melanie Pitman and Holly Blunden, and did dinner - at 10pm - ouch my tummy. To celebrate Ev'y's 25th!! I crashed on her couch and was up before the sun (which is not as exciting as it doesn't sound). Today the plan is to go see baby Mikaelia (did I spell that right?) Blunden... and then head home...

And now I will leave you, and try to figure out the TV remote... these new fangled things.
