Ya ya, I know, sorry :/

Life has been extremely busy these last couple months.  Since I'm working now, my days off are spent doing the things I usually spread out over the course of the week...it makes everything a little more crammed in and compact!

Let's see....

Work is wonderful and this is the first job I've ever loved in my life.  Ever.  It is SO great helping excited brides try on dresses and helping bridesmaids please their brides while being comfortable themselves.  Being surrounded by that happiness while at work is very satisfying.  I enjoy this job immensely.

Jer is finished his last portion of apprentice trade school this Thursday.  Being on EI has sucked but this was necessary and it will be good in the long run.  His marks have been fantastic and I'll be happy once he's written is red seal test and goes back to work.  He may have to travel for work for a bit so we can get caught up (which I hate but is also necessary) but hopefully there'll be something here and he won't have to.  The end of November can't come soon enough!

The kids are all good, in school and bowling on Saturdays as well as a couple other extracurricular activities, so keeping busy.  Marryn is loving JK and Jonah is loving French Immersion (even though he thought he wouldn't like it, he surprised himself and he loves it!) and James is waiting (im)patiently until he graduates high school (and he's only in grade 11 lol).

Rehearsals for PC Operatic Society have started up again and I'm SO proud to say that Jonah auditioned as well this year and he made it in!  So we'll be doing The Music Man together this year!!  He's loving that as well :)  It's a great show with great music and I'm enjoying it a lot, too...maybe even more than Oliver because I reeallllly enjoy the songs in this one!

We just had our annual Thanksgiving weekend in Havelock last weekend and it was pretty good, the weather was crappy for dinner on Sunday and we had to go late (Saturday morning instead of Friday afternoon) because I had to work Friday night but overall it was an ok weekend.

Now we're looking forward to our 3rd anniversary (the 30th) and Halloween and then FLORIDA!!  We're leaving very early in the morning this time and we plan to overnight in Savannah before continuing on to Kissimmee the next day.  We're there for a week and we'll be doing Disney again as well as a couple of museums and science centres.  We have our memberships to the Science Centre here in Toronto as well as the Royal Ontario Museum and those give us free entrance to a few places in Orlando as well so we're looking forward to going there as well!

Anyway, all is well, just very busy.  I'll leave you with some pictures :)
