Here are a few things that are going on with me and mine:

• My parents just moved to New Brunswick
• My sister Caitlin and brother-in-law Trevor just moved to New Brunswick
• I miss them all very much
• My friends are all showing the love, though, and stepping in to hang out with us instead!
• My sister Elisa is still living in Lacombe. I am doing a contemporary duet with her next year, and it’s going to rule, thanks to Sufjan Stevens
• I also hope to hang out with her from time to time, but she has to be booked years in advance
• Work is getting busier, ramping up for the school year and the return of the students
• I like my jobs and I work with good people
• Steve heard some stressful news at work, lay-off wise, but it seems like he’ll be OK for the time being
• I have to trust God, NOT money
• Someday I just might make lots of money! But knowing God, I will end up having to give most of it away. That’s OK, because I tend to trust money, not God, and I’m sure He doesn’t appreciate that.
• I am going to apply to the U of M Law School on Friday because I don’t need a statement of intent, even, just grades and LSAT score
• Applying to law schools is going to be expensive . . . why didn’t I save up money for that in particular? Lame saving skills, as per usual
• Catalina has 3 teeth now
• Gabrielle is obsessed with her new Dora the Explorer backpack. She says “Hey, Mom, look at my cool backpack!” whenever she wears it
• I love the Olympics and am happy that we are winning some medals at last, and sad that the Olympics are only every two years, even though that’s what makes them so special
• I am going to go write a blog post for work now!
