OK...an update!

Holy moly,
I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. Not a lot going on right now. I started my master's program. For the last 2 weeks I have been working on it every night. I feel caught up, but there is always more work to do. Erik had a wonderful opportunity to go on a men's retreat with some guys from church last weekend. He truly enjoyed himself. He took a day to journal and pray about the things he learned. I am happy he was able to go because while I knew what those experiences are like, he did not. He has already made plans to go next year and wants his dad to go. While he was on his retreat, he dad (Gerry) came down to hang out with me. His mom (Sharyn) was working/playing up in Maryland with her sister. Dad and I worked hard! He did so much more than I did, but we had a good time. I handed out candy Friday and ran out before 8:30! It was fun. I always enjoy seeing the kids. Saturday, we trimmed the hedges that had not been trimmed in a year! We can park in the driveway and not walk into one tree/bush! Then...yes, we did more...dad and I began to get my mom's old table sanded down. It was the table my mom grew up eating on. It is older than she is and by how much we don't know. (Trust me that it is OLD!!) We wanted to get it stained, but the sun was going down and the air was getting damp. Now we have a project for the next visit. I am going to use the table for a craft table upstairs. I guess I will do school work there too! I can't wait to get it there.
Well, that's all really. I am just doing a lot of reading and no watching tv. For those of you who know me, that is my all-time, veg-out, relax, and take the day away kind of thing. I am obsessed I guess. But, school is important and come before TV! :( Until later...
