This week felt like it was never going to end. There were so many things going on at work and in my life. I kept hoping that Friday would come but it took for ever. I am sorry I sound a little angry and I really am not. I just couldn't wait for the weekend because I am going on a holiday for the first time in 4 years. Yes you heard it right. A real holiday for two whole weeks. I am not working either one of my jobs. I am not going anywhere spectacular but the city of Grand Prairie. I am just excited to have time to relax and get caught up with my sleep.
The other exciting news is that my sister in law just had her first baby boy. Benson is his name. I now am the proud aunt of five nephews. I think the Easthope men are just suppose to have boys I guess. I am going to go visit my new nephew on my holidays. Nothing better then seeing a new baby. When they are newborns they are so easy to look after. Its when the get older that they start being a little harder to manage. Shh don't tell anyone that I said that they might think that I don't want any kids.
On Thursday night I threw a bridal shower for my roommate that is getting married. Now I have done many bridal showers before, but this was one of the easiest ones I have ever had to do. Tara didn't want one and when her mom asked me if I would do one I gladly excepted. I had to keep it a secret from her for a couple of weeks and I can't believe that I pulled it off. She had no clue. If she had found out she would have not wanted to go through with it. I kept it very simple with a few family members and friends. I only played one game that was very easy that everyone would like and had food and presents of course. Oh ya and decorations of course. Everyone had a good time and it went very smoothly. My roommate surprised her self because she has said to me several times now how grateful she was for what I had done and how much fun she had. Now I am not trying to brag really but I am so grateful to all the people that helped me pull off this wonderful event.
I know that some of you that will read this are not a fan of this show, but I have to say something about it. I have been watching the show One Tree Hill. It just keeps getting better and better. Somehow they manage to let someone be happy for a few minutes and then they have something bad happen to them which they spend the rest of the episode working out and then end the episode happy again. It's not just that its the peoples lives that are portrayed so well and how the affect you in so many ways. I know I sound a little crazy but I think that everyone should watch this show.
I am getting use to there being three of us living in our basement suit, however when I come back one of them will be moving out. She has been a great support and friend in my life and wish her all the love and happiness.
Well I think I have talked way to long. I will tell you all about my holidays when I get back.

Holding on for Dear Life
well we are almost half way into September and I am secretly waiting for summer to start over again. I know I am in love with that season. There is just nothing better then a hot summer day. I know I should just deal with the change of the season but I am going to hold on to the summer as long as I can.
This weekend I had the great privilege of attending my oldest Nephew's baptism. What a wonderful experience to see someone take on a whole new set of responsibilities. Embarrassing story of that day, my sister-in-Law asked me to sing a song for the baptism. I gladly excepted. When I was about to start I forgot the words and had to start all over again. What an embarrassing thing do do in front of a crowd of people. The baptism was in the morning and so I had the rest of the Saturday to hang out with my family. We were able to have a really good time doing various things and having really good conversations. Are family dose not get together very often so it was a good time had by all.
My crazy life is still happening every day. I am still working like way to much, but enjoying the amount I am learning every day from mt two jobs.
I hope you all are living life to the fullest!
Love Mary

There is nothing good about the weekend being over!
Well its Monday again and I can't wait for the weekend. The weekends are just never long enough and before you know it you have to go back to work.
This weekend I made a spur of the moment decision and went home to visit my parents. I had the weekend off and the fact that it was a long weekend was a great opportunity to to go home. So Friday after work I drove up to good old Elk Point. I hadn't been there since Christmas and it didn't shock me much to see that the town was pretty much the same as the last time I was there.
Saturday my parents and I went to the St. Paul rodeo. This is a town 30 min from Elk Point. It was just an amateur rodeo, but it was very well done. It lasted for three hours. Which is a long time but I really enjoyed it.
It is just crazy lately how addicted I am to the show big brother. On Sunday I couldn't keep my eyes away from the screen as I was cheering for who I wanted to win the head of house hold competition. It is not a very good show but I can't stop watching it. The people all hate each other and are constantly stabbing each other behind there backs. What attracts someone to this kind of show I don't know.
Today I came home and my second room ate moved in. It will be a little crazy for a while until my other roommate gets married next month.
Well that's all from my crazy life!

The joys of Camping!
Well this Monday was no different then any other then the fact that I did not want to get out of bed this morning. There was a relization that the weekend was over and it just was not long enough.
This weekend was quite exciting. I went camping for the second time this summer. This time my friends and I ventured out to Writing on Stone. There is a beautiful campground there. Writing on Stone is right beside the milk river. On Saturday we went toobing down the river. This was a little scary to me as I had not done this since I was a little girl. My friends were kind of laughing at me as I was making funny noises. But i got braver the longer I was on the river. It ended up being a very fun trip. My friends did a lot of reading this weekend while I played card games and went for a walk. Overall it was a wonderfull weekend full of good food a lots of relaxzation.
Today was a good day as well as there was a few new clients and not enough staff. The joy of my field of never having enough staff. Never the less the day went really well.
I look forward to what fun and exciting things this week will bring.

Defiantly A Monday!
I woke up today at 8:30 and had realized that my alarm had not gone off. I was a little worried since I was suppose to be at work at 8:30. I quickly got ready and made it to work at 8:45. Do not ask me how I did that because I still don't know. This was not a good start to my week. It defiantly felt like a Monday.
Well In the morning at work I was assigned to help out with the float that was going to go into the parade. I did not have a clue what was to be done or how. This is defiantly Peak stile when nobody else new what was going on either. So I took charge and somehow I was able to get everything done. It is kind of a weird looking float but it works. I looked across the road from work and the kayak place had a wonderful float with moving objects on it. I felt a little embarrassed for our float. Its a good thing that we are in Lethbridge and not Calgary. I am still proud of my clients for working hard on our float. If they like it I do to!
In the afternoon I got to waste time with clients getting a doughnut and a Slurpee. I was also able to get me car washed. Kind of a slack afternoon. I deserved it after my busy morning.
The weekend was quite wonderful. On Saturday I was able to spend most of the day at Park lake laying on the water! It was so relaxing. Then that night my friends and I had a bonfire which is always wonderful. Sunday I had a three hour nap which never happens and then spent the evening watching the Olympics. Great weekend for relaxing because I didn't have to work!
I am so excited just like Denise about the medals that Canada has got in the last couple of days. The Olympics just keep getting better and better. I have nothing to complain about. Ya hoo!!!
Well that is it for me today. Don't work to hard and enjoy the hot weather!!!

Be Aware of the Basball!
Hello all, I am back from the dead! Just kidding. Well Today is Thursday and I can't wait till the weekend because I don't have to work. This dose not happen very often these days. I have been doing fifteen hour days lately. I don't recommend this for any one.
Well today was a little different for my agency had a baseball game for all the individuals and staff. We do this every day but this year was a little bit crazy. We managed to have three people get hurt. All three people recovered quite well. I wish they would make a softball that was soft on the inside so that it wouldn't hurt so bad when you got hit by it. By the way I was one of the people that got hit by the ball. I took it like a man!!! That's what you get for being the pitcher. I loved it, it was a lot of fun!
Well the Olympics are quite wonderful. I have especially loved the gymnastics. The Chinese women and men are just outstanding this year. I have always loved the American gymnasts ever since I was a little girl. This year however they just didn't compare to the power and consistency of the Chinese. We Canadians have yet to win a medal. Never less the Olympics are just wonderful. China did a wonderful job with all of there facilities. The are all incredible! Especially for the rafting wow Its very beautiful!
The weekend is almost upon me and I don't know what will be doing. I guess I will just wait for what surprises will come my way.
Love you ALL!

There is nothing better then Summer!
Well we are all ready into August and I can't believe it. I don't like to think of August being over because it means that summer is almost over. I love summer! There is nothing better then the hot sun and various activities that make me so happy. I can't lie tennis is on the top of the list!
Another thing that has got me so excited is the upcoming Olympics. The opening ceremonies starts in a few days and I can't wait. I love both the summer and winter Olympics and there is not one sport that I don't like to watch. I think our country has great athletes. There is nothing better then watching countries from all over the world compete against each other.
This long weekend was very enjoyable. I didn't do to many things but hang out with family and watch a lot of movies. It is always hard after a long weekend to go back to work. Today felt like it should already be Friday. That is not a good start to my week.
Other then that there is not much new with me! Same old things! My thoughts and Prayers are with my sister in Law and her family.
So Long for now!
