I'm still here!

So, it has been a ridiculously long time since I have blogged, but here I am, for all of you who were weeping in want for a new post :)

It has been a pretty relaxed 2 months, with a few surprises and purchases, which is just life! Lets start with Easter.

So about a month before Easter my Mom and I were chatting about them maybe coming to visit, since they hadn't visited since Christmas *cough waaaaay too long cough.* Anyways, she has said that they would most likely come up for a visit for Easter weekend, obviously I was overjoyed. But then, dun dun dun, I received an email from my Aunt Karen asking the family about when works for our family Easter dinner, whether it be Saturday or Monday, and minutes later, much to my surprise my mother responds that either one works for her....ummmm whaaaat?! Anyways, I told her basically that she was a goof, but that it was fine.
......fast forward to Good Friday, and I am lying in bed and get a text message from my Mom asking me what my plan was for the day. So we were small talking for a bit and was asking if Justin was awake, I told her no, then she asked if Lexy(our dog) was awake, and I told her no, and then Justin rolled over and asked who I was talking to, so I told him. The next words that came out of his mouth were "Lexy do you want to go outside?" and she bounded off the bed very excited to go pee. I told him that it wasn't fair to her unless HE was going to take her outside, next thing I hear is "Lexy, Mommy's going to take you outside" I could have kicked him, I was so unimpressed. But nevertheless, I got out of my warm cozy bed to let my fuzzy angel outside, and start heading to let Lexy outside when I see my Mom sitting on my couch!! AHHHHHH!! There are a few lovely videos of this on my Mom's facebook and I'm tagged in them too if you haven't viewed these gems yet. So I got my lovely Mom ALL weekend long, which was such a blessing because Justin was working nights. Boo nights!

 ITS OFFICIAL!! We booked our flights to Kenya! YIPPEEE!!!! So we fly out of Vancouver on October 29th at 9:30 pm which means a red eye flight. *gag* cue extensive gravol!! But we get into London at 1:40 pm the next day and have until 10 am the next day before we fly out, so we can see London a bit and have a sleep so I won't be a super crab! Woohoo! We will both be grateful for that one! And we are in Kenya until November 28 and return into Vancouver on the 29th! We also get a 12 hour layover in London again on the way home. I think I will be very grateful for a break in between the 8+ hour flights! We are starting on our plans for when we are over there but are planning on keeping it pretty open so we can be led to the work God wants us to do over there.

We also redid our ensuite, FINALLY! It was the nasty old blue one, for those of you who read my post about our house!  Here are some pictures, a little in between so you can see the place where our medicine cabinet and toilet are, and our new flooring! Woohoo! It is so nice to have a modern ensuite and didn't take that much time or that much money. I love that my husband is so handy! *sigh*

We also have made some purchases since I last blogged. We have bought a Boxee box (for those of you who don't know what it is look it up, it is such a great purchase!!), we then had to buy a new 47" LCD tv for our living room, we bought a dirt bike, a dune buggy, a quad, a 5 man hot tub, a new dining room table, a new dresser for our bedroom. I think that's it.... Keep in mind, most of these are second hand, and Justin is a mechanic and a craigslist junkie so he finds good deals and can fix stuff up!! We also have a seadoo in our backyard too. So, since summer is coming, COME VISIT!! We have lots of space and toys and would love to have you come up!!

Anyways, time to work and bring home the bacon. I promise I will blog again soon!!
