End of Summer

Well, the boys start school tomorrow so I guess that is it for summer. The last few weeks haven't been very nice weather-wise so hopefully we get some nice warm days before the end of Sept.

Things have been very busy around here lately. Work is sort of sucking so I am contemplating a change of employers. It's just not "fun" anymore. It will be hard to get something that I want that pays the same but I am fine with taking a slight pay cut to reduce my stress levels.

Tackle football is officially underway for the season. The boys both played exhibition games last weekend and on Thursday they both played at the Big Kahuna Bowl (kick off for high school football). They really liked watching the big boys play football and were amazed by how big the older guys are...some of them shocked the parents as well....lol.

Grad went well for the most part. Lots of great pics of Courtney in her dress but not many of her cap and gown...she didn't like it anyway...lol. One of her friends has some pics so I am hoping she will send them to me soon. We also took a few family pics and they didn't turn out as good as I had hoped but they are better than nothing. Right now Courtney is in Pilot Butte working for a couple of months. She came out here for a couple of weeks after Grad and then went back. She wants to be back here by the end of October but we'll see what happens.

We also had breakfast with Randi when we were passing through Calgary on our way home. It was nice to see her but a little awkward as well because we haven't really talked to her in a long time...just the odd email or MSN message. I hope she takes a trip out here to visit us and get to know the boys and Dad again.

I haven't been scrapbooking much lately either but that is going to change. I need my time to myself and do my thing....and of course that is one of my things...lol. I went to Julie's a couple of weeks ago and it was great to get together with a friend again and relax. I was working on a mini album for our vacation pics and want to get back at it to finish it soon. We also talked about starting to go to the monthly CC crops in Lake Country again so that would be nice if that works out. She needs to get away from the kids and I need to get away from kids and work. I am hoping SS will get going with regular crops again so that I can go out there too.

Anyway that's the update for now...chow!

PS...you can see pics on FACEBOOK! Come and look for me ;)
