me!!! lol...sorry people, I am knee deep in planning a hockey tournament for Reilly's age group (remember that I am the Director...well this is one of my duties!) and it is very time consuming and pressure filled. I had no idea how much goes into planning such a thing...seriously, I am a bit overwhelmed. Thank goodness, last night I had a few parents I know I can count on step up and volunteer to help out with some stuff. Tomorrow, I'll be meeting with a guy that does trophies etc so I can get that ordered as we only have 4 weeks till the big weekend!
In other news...well, we really haven't been up to anything other than the usual, everyday stuff and I won't bore you with those details.
Starting tomorrow, there is hockey 4 days in a row so that doesn't leave much time for anything else..lol!
I have been scrapping a bit and wanted to share that with you since it's been awhile since I shared some scrappy goodness but...I haven't had time to take pics of the layouts to upload...next post! I also scrapbooked 25 pages for the kindergarten students field trip to the fire station during my first parent helper day yesterday. The teacher gives each child a scrapbook at the end of the year and has asked me to be an integral part of them...I am so excited and more than happy to do it. I couldn't have been given a better parent helper duty...lol!
Anyway, it's late and I need to get some sleep (heaven for bid I get myself sick from being run down...I really don't have time for that right now!)
Sorry it's a short and boring update...I'll have more to share next time (hopefully that won't be 3 weeks from now...lol).
I will leave you with this...I love it...enjoy!

Happy 12th Anniversary Brian.
My Best Friend-Tim McGraw
I never had no one that I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin'
So tired of searchin'
Til you walked into my life
It was a feelin' I'd never known
And for the first time, I didn't feel alone
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend, oh yeah
You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

drum roll please...we have a huge announcement to make...
AND NO I AM NOT PREGNANT!!
We have started our own company...well my name is on the paperwork so that counts right and today is the first day for Brian to be his own boss (well, at least in his professional life...lol!) He left this morning at 4:30 in this...his brand new 2007 GMC Sierra!
The best part for me is that is seats all 6 of us. We might be getting a trailer in the spring (I've already started looking!!) now that we have something to pull it with.
So this is why I have been MIA in blogland...we've been pretty busy with all the yadda yadda yadda that goes along with having your own business.
Anyway, we are excited and a bit nervous about it but believe it was the right thing to do!
What else....hockey is underway for Reilly and going well so far! He made the A team this year so we have a bit more traveling to do than previously but still shouldn't be too bad. Carsyn is patiently waiting for the local (in the next town over) pool to open back up so he can start swimming lessons. He wants to get his snorkeling and scuba diving certificates when he's a bit older. Gavin is enthralled with Kindergarten...loves it and his teacher. Last week, we went on a field trip to the fire station and they got a little fireman's hat to keep, spray the hose, try on some gear and we all got a ride back to the school in a firetruck!! It was pretty cool. This week, his class is having a harvest tea on Wednesday, so I'll be going to that. The kids also participated in the Terry Fox run at school and the information leading up to the actual run really had an impact on Gavin. He came home and talked about Terry Fox and having a fake leg because of the cancer and how he needed money from people to beat the cancer. He made some phone calls to his family and they were all so touched by his 'speal'...it almost made me cry. Zack is...um...Zack! Doing well in school, anxiously awaiting basketball season and being a huge asset to me around this house. With Brian being away, he really steps up to the plate and helps with the boys and some chores...and he can do all that while texting his buddies!!
In scrappy news, I went to an all day crop over the weekend and ended up with a teaching gig. The ladies want me to teach classes so...I'm going to do it! We have been talking about making our attached garage a family/rec room but we are now going to make it a scrap studio and I'll teach from home. Until it's done though, I'm just going to find a church basement maybe to use. I could actually do it in my kitchen as it will be smaller classes to accommodate some ladies daytime schedules and others in the evenings or weekends. Anyway, I am really excited about that. I'm also, I think...putting in an application to be an Educational Assistant at our elementary school. I've done up a resume and am just waiting on clearance checks to come back saying I'm fit to work with children!!! I'll keep ya posted about that.
Anyway, I'm going to make the rounds and visit you all to see what you've been up to.
