This bog is getting boring - a record of how busy I am. :-/
Take this past weekend.
On Friday my aunt and uncle who are moving to Ontario came to see us at Doiges before going on. It was really wonderful to see them again. In the afternoon, Alison and Steve and Henry and I went to Ikea in Edmonton, so Steve and Alison could start a registry there. I love going to Ikea and just wandering through, looking at all the displays and the different combinations of styles, and testing out the couches and beds and chairs and everything. We had pasta for lunch at the in-store restaurant. After Ikea we picked up Alyson and went to the Legislature grounds, where we met some more friends, and then had a sort of picnic on the hillside over the river. There were thousands of people there for the Canada Day fireworks. At 11:00 the fireworks started. I have never seen such an enormous and colourful display of fireworks before. As it is Alberta's Centennial this year, they went all out and got a prodigious amount of them (I tried to describe them here, but failed miserably, so whoever didn't see them is outta luck :-) ).
Saturday I had to work until 4:00, and then I went home with a few friends for the weekend. That evening we went to the Pembina River near the Freedom bridge where we often swim in the summer. Usually there is a fairly wide sandy beach. Most of the river is about a foot deep, and then there's a sudden drop off. We hoped to sit on the beach and maybe wade a bit, but the river was so high there wasn't even a beach. Instead we went bushwacking, also lots of fun.
On Sunday we celebrated Steve's birthday, which is today (Happy 24th, Steve!). Being able to spend the day with and worship with my family and friends again was wonderful. After the evening service we drove home again, as Henry and Alyson had to fly or drive to Ontario the next day.
Now it is already Tuesday. We have to finish our current segment of law, Wills and Estates, and have our final exam on Thursday. Then we will start the final part, Dependant Adult Law, with the exam for that next Wednesday. Thursday we are going to the courthouse and law library in Edmonton for a field trip, and Friday is graduation. I can hardly believe 6 months is almost over. The time has gone way too fast. :-/
