Overdue Update...Novel #2

I'm feeling the need to write something new, but do you ever feel that you don't know where to start?

Lee and I went to my parent's house in Three Hills for Easter weekend, and it was SO nice to spend some time with them. We drove into Calgary on the Saturday afternoon to visit with Scott, Carla, Brady, Megan and Caedyn, and that was especially wonderful! I love that the moment I walk into their house Brady and Megs yell, "Yay, Auntie Jana's here!" Man, they are awfully good for my self-esteem :)

Then it was back to work for yet another Monday, yippee (note the sarcasm?!) Anyway, my Mama had a birthday on Tuesday, so that was worthy of 2 emails and 4 phone calls! The week
progressed until Friday...

The Oilers LOST!!!!! Yeah, baby! Ahem, excuse the rejoicing, but I do live in Oiler-ville, and as IF I could write an entire blog entry without mentioning hockey.


We had 2 of our neighbors over for dinner on Saturday night, and thanks to my mom's instructions, I think my chicken turned out pretty good! My sweet potato pie was yummy and my chocolate cake was rich and decadent, if I do say so myself. Chris & Allison are expecting their first baby in June, so it was really nice to have them over before they have "other" priorities. Then the Oilers won, so bah...GO RED WINGS!!

There's my last week, but I'm starting to realize that if I blogged more often, I wouldn't have to write novels!


One last thing, Shannon has been asking me for a picture, so I'll post one now, but it will have to be a wedding pic. Sorry, but it's hard to take pictures together when there's only 2 of us! I'll try to find a more recent one for you sometime soon.

It's been nice to have sunshine lately, but I'm waiting for my first spring rainstorm...soon, I hope. I want green grass! I also want mountains within view and an ocean nearby, but I guess I'll have to manage without :(

I'm a little groggy, but I think I'm still here

A comment from Shannon reminded me that I have been a terrible blogger lately. You know how life has a way of running away on you? Anyway, I've been fighting off some virus for over a week now, and I've pretty much just been trying to function!

Last Friday, I booked a day off work to go to my sister-in-law's mom's funeral, spent most of Saturday with my parents, who drove up for the service, went to church on Sunday, went to work on Monday morning, left work at lunch on Monday, came home and slept all afternoon, slept in this morning and went to work after lunch. Can you believe that after all that, I don't feel much better than I did on Thursday?

So, how are all the rest of you, from BC to California to Oklahoma? Erin, I hope you know how much I'll be praying for you as you go through this pregnancy. I'm sure you must be more nervous than you were with Colton and Noah, but I'll be praying for you to have a peaceful calm from God and for Tom and the boys to be understanding. You better be following your doctor's orders on your rest quota...

I start my Anatomy & Physiology class in 4 weeks from tomorrow, and the feeling of extreme stress at starting school again is slowly surfacing, but I think I can handle it... I am excited and I'm NOT going to let my nerves get the better of me, even if I am an espresso! Tonight, I got to watch House on TV, and it is always a good way to unwind and get lost in a story.

Have I mentioned how great my family and friends are?? I love you guys!
