this 'n that

Okay, time for a new post and a few thoughts.

Yesterday I went through my closet and got rid of 2 large garbage bags full of clothes THAT DON'T FIT ANYMORE!!!!!!! (because they're too big!) Feels soooo good! With God's help ('cuz I definitely can't do this alone) I hope to never weigh that much again, so I won't need those clothes anymore!!!! I'd like to drop another 10-15 pounds before I consider myself to have reached my goal weight. I actually can't believe that I've gotten this far! It has always seemed so unattainable! Weight Watchers has been wonderful! Kevin's doing really well too! Combined, we've lost just about 70 pounds since we started March 5th. :-)

House selling is slow. We have our house listed in two newspapers, signs on the lawn, listed on a local news website, and I made a house blog site. Now we wait....I guess. Please pray for this....I hate waiting! But I often have to remind myself that God is in control and knows exactly what's going on and the best timing for everything!!!

Next week school starts for our girls. We went to see the school counsellor for Paige and Danae's grade 11 course load, as they most likely will not be finishing the semester before we move, but we wanted to make sure their courses could be considered 'finished'. They are going to have a very fun semester with Drama (both), Photography(Danae), Drafting(Danae), English(both), Phys Ed(Paige), TV & Film Acting(Paige). Fun, eh?! MacKenzie's Grade 9 courses are year round, so it doesn't affect her as much for her to be leaving at Christmas.

Also next week is birthday party weekend at our house! All three girls celebrate their birthdays on September 11th. We will have MacKenzie's 14th birthday party with her friends on Friday. We'll pick the kids up from school and take them to play laser tag, then home for supper, birthday cake, gifts, and fun including a sleepover! We have rented a hot tub for the weekend so they'll have that to hang out in too. On Saturday for their 16th birthday, Paige & Danae will have their friends come (we don't have a clue how many as they are inviting a bunch from camp). They'll just hang around here. Probably go down to the firehall and play pool and foosball. Kevin will give them rides in the firetruck, which they all love. Then we'll have lasagna, cake, and hang out here for the night too. On Sunday, we have our family friends all coming over for a barbeque...by Monday I will be passed out on my desk at work! :-) We decided to do their birthdays up right this year as this is their last birthday in Canada for a while!

Well that's about it for now.... would sure LOVE to read some other blogs out there from the few family members who USED to blog!!!!! :-)
