Anonymous Hugs

Interesting….

Bullets: The last while

• trail ride with the father-in-law and a few of his friends to Yahatinda, just outside Banff National Park, just an all around great weekend.  I benefited greatly from the generosity from Gary & Barb Zorn so I could go on the trip (thanks for the horse!) and have a great place to rest when we returned to Calgary.
• Highlight: riding a Tennessee walking horse for the first time,  new friendships, being inspired by a couple of those new friends as they rode as 80 and 82 year olds, time with the FIL.
• Got to spend a couple of nights with my siblings and nieces/nephews in Calgary.  that was good.
• Grasslands Trail Ride last weekend.  A great time seeing some good friends and spending it with a good mix of my family.   I actually only rode for about half an hour, mostly just visiting and relaxing.
• Highlight: watching my 95 yr old Grandpa ride, very impressive!
• Officially started my job on the help desk with the Health Region.  Things are going well so far.  There is lots to keep straight, and I may get tired of some of the more repetitive calls, but right now I’m enjoying learning everything.
• Elijah’s first soccer season has ended.  He finally received a t-shirt on the last night.  He’s one of the top players out there, knows what’s going on in the game better than most, and only gets in trouble for pushing a couple times each session (it’s the Laliberte showing up in him).

Bullets from this week

• one week off before starting work at Saskatoon Health Region
• looked after the boys for a couple days, not sure how my wife does it all and keeps things organized around this place.
• traveled with Elijah to spend a couple of night with “Andrew’s Grandma” (Elijah’s way of differentiating his two grandmas) and one day with Elijah and Grandpa in Kennedy to see Great Grandma/Grandpa.  Naming all these relatives must be very confusing for a three year old.  Elijah was great and just gave hugs to anyone who I called Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt or Uncle!
• Elijah & I even had fun playing in the dirt and helping Uncle John (Great Uncle John?) with a small work project.
• Garage sale this weekend, a few things sold and a whole lot more disposed of/donated.
• The Red Wings were pretty impressive tonight – I was worried.  Datsyuk is a difference maker.
• Leah & Jenn Mooney visiting tonight, nice to meet Mr. Caden, who is lots of fun.  Elijah & Michael will have a good day with him tomorrow I think.

Trail Ride

I’ve booked my ticket to tag along with Gary & Gene as they trail ride around the Yahatinda.  Looking forward to leaving for that week long adventure June 13th.

Happenings

Thursday:

• Grandparent * 2 – two times the grandparents, exponential the fun!
• Last exam, clean out the locker.

Friday:

• Walk across stage in funny gown, don’t trip, successfully receive fake certificate.
• confirm casual work with the Saskatoon Health Region
• Grad Supper: lots of inside jokes that my family is nice enough to laugh at, a very enjoyable evening – I didn’t always think this, but I will miss that group of people.

Saturday:

• work day – first coat of paint on front of house
• Watch the Wings win.

Sunday:

• work day part deux – deux coat finished.
• Friends join us for a graduation celebration, beautiful day to be in the back yard with good people.
• Nadal loses, this is always good, mostly because that increases Roger’s chances.
• Nice supper with the in-laws.
• Watch the Wing win, again.  Pittsburgh is putting up a pretty good fight, but Detroit just has too much for them – and that’s without Datsyuk.  Hossa is really showing up.
• book flight to Calgary for trail ride with the Father In Law.

O For Grace

“O for grace to trust Him more”

I don’t know how many times I’ve sung ‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus, but last Sunday night was the first time I noticed this line.  I like it.

Countdowns

Four busy days of school left. Nice day today, planted our garden with Hildylee’s help.
