For My Sis

The Best Is Yet To Be

On your joyful wedding day,

You begin a brand new life.

Friends and family give their gifts

To joyful husband, blissful wife.

But the greatest gift you'll ever get,

A gift from heaven above,

Is love forever, ending never,

Everlasting love.

You'll share life's joy and pleasure;

You'll have plenty of that, it's true.

But love is the real treasure

For your new spouse and you.

And if life hands you challenges,

As it does to one and all,

Your love will hold you steady

And never let you fall.

You wedding day is full of joy;

Tomorrow you cannot see.

But one thing's sure for the two of you:

The best is yet to be.

Breanna and I are getting ready to head out to camp. They have closing ceremonies around 1 and he can leave at 2. Breanna is very excited about her brother coming home, but she wouldn't tell you that. She helped clean up his room yesterday, dusted all his shelves and put the stuff back on, she's made a little welcome home sign for him. I give it about 10 mins and they will be fighting. LOL

I'm taking my camera but can't promise much for pictures today, since I have to go to work before supper. Pictures will probably be up tomorrow night when I get home. He's got a camera that has to be taken in to get developed, I'll scan some of his and post them too.

Sis gets married tomorrow!

Breanna has a new hair do

I took Breanna over town today to get braids put in her hair, it looks great, I hope it stays in for a bit. It didn't take quite an hour and she was very good at sitting still. Now she can't get her hair in her mouth, which is a new habbit she's picked up.

Josh called last night and talked to his father for a few minutes, didn't have much to say and didn't talk long before he had to go, so all must be going well or I'm sure we would have heard about it. I'm glad he called, that was the part that was driving me nuts, not knowing he was okay.

5 more sleeps till my sis is a married woman. I talked to her on the weekend and she's been very busy getting ready. I still wish I was going to be there but unless we win the lottery tomorrow night, it's not happening. I work all day Saturday so at least my mind will be occupied. The main thing is that her kids will be there, that's really all that matters. I'll be glad when the weekend is over, I've been so upset about not being able to go that I've been taking it out on everyone here and it's not their fault.

Anyway, Breanna is waiting for Miss Megan to come play after she goes to the dentist, so I should go get the cover off the pool and finish up some laundry.

A couple more pctures

These were both taken on Saturday when we were out to a pot luck supper. Breanna took the one of Josh, it's a great picture. The second one is of one of the 2 bald eagles that were flying overhead for about 5 minutes, that was a real treat.

Oh where oh where can my boy be

Silly Mommy, he's at camp, probably having the time of his life! But boy is it ever strange without him here. We took him out yesterday, it was an icky day, humid and rainy. Him and Tyler got their tents set up, Josh's little one for their supplies and Ty's bigger one to sleep in. Oh they are roughing it so bad, they have cots to sleep on and an electric fan. LOL When we unpacked the tent the last thing we find is a 25ft extension cord and a fan, LOL. Doug wanted to know where the microwave was, I'm sure if they would have thought about it...

So he's there till Friday, we hope. I go out at lunch time for the closing, they finish at 2. Then I'll bring him home and tuck him into bed for a week or so. I have to work Friday night and all day Saturday so I won't get to hear many of the stories till Saturday night.

One of my best friends is coming home this weekend from Ont. so we hope to have a sunny day on Sunday so we can go out to the cabin and visit.

Donna-Leigh is on vacation this week so Breanna and I hope to get chance to have her and the girls down for a day or 2. With Josh away and her friend away, she's lost. With my hours and DL's hours we don't get to see much of each other so it will be nice if we can get a visit in.

Well I should go fold some laundry and figure out what's for supper, I have to go to work as soon as Doug gets home, hope tonight is better than last night, it was crazy busy and I wasn't in the best of moods, I was so glad to get out of there.
