Hello Friends and Family,
Well, tomorrow is the first of June. Summer is just around the corner. The weatherman needs to be reminded. We have had the coldest, wettest, yuckiest spring that I can remember. I think we've had perhaps 4 decent days since April. It is so weird. From one day to the next you cannot predict what the weather will be like. I am dying to get out camping, but I won't even begin planning because of the periodic monsoons and frightfully cold nights. It just wouldn't be worth it.
With Summer almost here, the kids are starting to get antsy and complain about having to go to school. At least...more than they usually do. I love hanging out with them during the long, long days of summer. We always find fun things to do together. We might go to the pool, or the park, or head out for a road trip or camping. There are always lots of BBQ's and popsicles. Its usually when we go visit family.
This summer, Aislinn will be spending most of June, July and August playing basketball down in Vancouver, WA. She is playing for a great AAU travelling team and we will be putting a lot of KMs on the car getting down there. I think we are planning on joining the team in Phoenix, San Diego, Portland and Seattle for tournaments. So excited!!!!
Mackendra is playing on two soccer teams at the moment. She is such a dynamic player and when she runs hard she is so fun to watch. I think she will be spending some time in July with her cousins up in Prince George.
My little brother is getting married in July to the lovely Auria...about bloody time, I say. Can't wait for the Bachelorette party!
Oh! I finished my first clinical up in Penticton. It went very well and I had a lot of fun working up there. I am sooooooooo glad to be back home though. Being away from the family just isn't right. I will be starting my 3 online summer classes next Monday. Boo! And then I will be back in the hospital (this time in Abbotsford) on August 27th.
Frank is doing very well. He's looking to finish his Business Degree this summer. That will be huge! Just like when I went back to finish my degree. It will be such an accomplishment and the closing of a chapter in his life.
I don't have any pictures to upload...I know...boring! But until this afternoon, our camera has been missing. I have to get back in the habit of taking pictures. I think a whole six months of our lives has not been documented.
So, things are starting to pick up. We will be very busy this summer. I just hope the weather cooperates.

I've been thinking of you lately! I was teaching elementary music on a half-time schedule (Monday through Friday, 8-11:30) and I really loved it. I kept looking for a full-time job, even though I liked where I was...I was offered a full-time middle school gig teaching band and choir. It's 15 minutes from my house (my parent's basement, still). No romantic interest at the moment, but I am looking :P... Actually, I just broke up with a guy last week. I dated him for about 5 months. He was nice and all, but we just didn't click. It's good to hear that your girls are doing so well in sports! I'll bet Mackendra is over 4 feet tall by now!
Hi Mary Sue,
Great to hear from you. I am actually down in Portland, OR at the moment for one of Aislinn's tournaments. Congratulations on the full time job! Great news! I wish you were my kids' music teacher. They might actually go to the class and learn something. Too bad about the ex. I'll have to send you an email soon and catch up with you. Aislinn and Mackendra are doing awesome, and yes, Mac is growing and growing.
