Time: It's All We Have -
What would I do with more time? I would play with the kids, I would walk the dog. I would mow the grass. I would watch the clouds go by. I would read more books. I would take more naps. I would find others with similar interests; others who enjoyed their time as much as I do.
I would visit new lands. I would sail around the world.
Until then... I'll just dream about the possibilities...

The Boat, Beading, Baptism and Weddings
With a fresh head, I am enjoying life right now...
I've really been getting into beading! It's SO addictive! It all started with my sister, Jill, who had the new year's resolution to have craft night to scrapbook on a regular basis... The scrapbooking is coming along nicely but I can't put the beads down! I've made over a dozen necklaces and bracelets - and just this weekend I branched out to earings! My friend's mom has taken her craft to higher level, and wow! Check out: Bacon Square Farm
But there is more great news!!!!
I am Gabe's godmother! Jill's new baby (born in May) was baptised this weekend - and wow my sister is a good cook - the family gathering was awesome and the kids had a great time playing on the go-cart and in the inflatable waterslide! My sister is amazing. For all of us (I'm talking 20+) to have such a lovely afternoon, hosted by my sister with all 6 kids crawling up her leg, was incredible.
Jenny, my cousin, asked me to be in her wedding next year! Yippee! I'm so excited for her... I'm looking forward to being part of her special day!
Jeff and I are still planing to get married... we have not yet set a date... but we've narrowed it down to a month: July 2010! The kids are excited - Rose is excited about being a flower girl!
