There's a baby in there you know..

(No.. I'm not pregnant.. the title is an inside joke.. as are most of my titles. Just thought I'd clarify!)

What a fabulous day I had Sunday! It was my annual summer staff party out at the boss' cabin! Every year on the long weekend in August, my boss has all the staff out to his cabin for sun, games, swimming, pig roast, campfire etc. The weather was PERFECT. This year was so much fun :) The water was clear and clean! Cold, but clean. SO refreshing.

We all took turns floating down the river which was SO much fun. Christian and I floated down together, and the first time was fun and uneventful. So the second time he thought it would be a grand idea to take his camera with him to take video. Unfortunately the water was slightly more aggressive that time! We flew right past where we were supposed to "dock", so he had to jump out to try and stop us. Sadly he forgot to hand me his camera first so in it went. Then he slipped and lost his shoe! It was hilarious and I think I was more upset about his camera than he was. He was ready to go again! I was slightly more traumatized. Let's just say that's why I'll NEVER go white water rafting. I'm a huge chicken when it comes to water.

Dinner was fantastic! Every year he roasts a whole pig. Leaves it smoking all day long. It was super tasty. Plus his wife makes a bunch of salads to go with it. I can't even handle how great it all was! He supplies all the food and beverages. He takes good care of his employees.

After dinner, there was a campfire. S'mores!! :) The campfire was definitely the highlight of my day. I love fires, I love how I smell after a fire. The conversations were great, and the company was even better :) Yes, many of my co-workers were more-than-slightly on the intoxicated side by this point in the day, but nobody got out of control or too annoying. And they were balanced out by the few of us that were sober. It was a good mix, and a great time. I love being outside!

You just kicked a potato!

So.... my last blog post was a bit dramatic to say the least. Sometimes I feel like I should wait a day before I post anything, but on the other hand, it'll be good for me to be able to read back on these entries and remember exactly how I was feeling at that time. Anyway...

Things are good. I really have been having a great summer. I spent the day in Waterton yesterday and it was spectacular. It makes me want to live there. I think it would be fabulous to live there for a summer sometime. Work at a restaurant or something there, live in a cabin, and enjoy the scenery all day every day all summer. Maybe I'll look into that sometime. I just kept thinking to myself, "No way this is real life!" It's so beautiful there. There's no way that God didn't have a hand in creating all that. It's just too breathtaking to be an accident. Got a bit of a sunburn on my shoulders, but it's a good souvenir :)

This Saturday I get to see BRETT!!! He's coming back for a couple days for his sister's wedding. I get to be his escort :) I can't wait to see him and hug him. He's one of my very favourite people in the whole world and I miss his guts! Also, Kelly comes back this weekend!!!! I'll have a female friend again!! It's great timing since Christian and Taneil, the two people I spend the most time with, will both be gone for over a week in August. I'm so glad I'll have Kelly back. She's also one of my very favourite people in the whole world. I miss her muchly as well :)

I've been getting things ready for my brother's wedding next month as well. Bought my bus ticket to Calgary so I can meet up with Megan and drive together. Also booked a hotel room for a night. I think it'll be a fun weekend. It'll be great to see my whole family together at once, as well as meeting Caysha's (my soon to be sister-in-law) family. It's still weird to think I'll have another sister! You can never have too many sisters in my opinion and I think she'll be a good addition to the family. Hopefully she won't be too overwhelmed seeing me and both my sisters all together at once... we can get a little nuts sometimes!! (In a very good way!)

Well, I hope this update was a little less dramatic and a lot more positive. But that's how I'm feeling today so I blogged :)
