Happy sunny weekend!!!!

It was a beautiful sunny weekend here in Shawnigan Lake. I got up Saturday morning and headed outside, and that is where I stayed all day!! I tidied up the yard a bit, watered the garden, and cleaned the pond. Brooks went in to Victoria to pick up the kids and up they came!! We had a great time playing in the newly filled pond. We decided to buy a floating chair for the pond. Why not??? It is like a pool, and it was so refreshing. The kids loved it and we had an afternoon filled with laughter!!! Sunday morning we woke up early and took Jayde to her baseball game in Duncan. We met up with Nanna and Avery (Jaydes boyfriend) when we got there, and a little later Jaydes mom Colleen showed up to cheer Jayde on!! And boy oh boy can Jayde throw a baseball. She is a brilliant player and I can see her go far with this sport! All and all it was a great afternnoon at the ball field. Last night we had a relaxing night at home and got to bed early. We worked in Victoria today and tomorrow I will be building some panels in the shop and Brooks will paint. Then Wednesday we install the final panels for our subdivision, and out in our final invoice!!! We made it!!!

Ahhhhhh

So the week is over and thank goodness it is going to be a sunny one!!! The weather hasn't been too bad this week. Quite a bit of sun, but all and all it was warm. We finished up the week at the subdivision digging the final holes. Now building the final panels and installing, and handing out the final invoice will follow Monday and Tuesday. This subdivision for us was a blessing. it got us through the winter and through the spring. Hopefully there are more of these to come!!!
Tomorrow Brooks is going to pick up both of his girls for the day. Jayde has a baseball game in Duncan Sunday morning so he will drop them off there for the game. As for me....I am going to work on my tan this weekend. I am going to relax, and enjoy every moment!

Wednesday

Well it has been awhile. My Blog has been shut down and I am still unsure to the reason. My Gmail account was also closed due to "suspicious activity"....whatever that may mean. However I am back and ready to write!!! SO far we have had a busy week. Started a job Sunday, finished it Monday. Finished my first U-Build job Tuesday and Wednesday. As for tomorrow and Friday, we are booked in to finish up some loose ends at our sub division. I am having a bit of stress this week about money. It feels like we are making so much but have none. Working hard, but still broke. It doesn't make sense to me and it is driving me crazy. ANYWAYS, on to brighter things....we had some company this past weekend and had a blast. A bunch of Brooks closest friends came to the island to celebrate turning 40. I had a most fantastic time and hope to do it again every year. This is a great group of people to know! A month from now we are heading to Kimberley for Brooks cousins wedding and I look forward to it so much. We will be travelling there with Brooks parents and it is sure to be a fabulous time!!! I need to get away and the timing should be just PERFECT!!!

Brooks and his friends!

June

So today is June 1st....and it is STILL raining. Not even so much as raining, but it is grey. Grey grey grey. I am not one of those people who gets depressed when it is grey and rainy, or one who cannot get up in the morning when I look outside to yet another grey day. I wake up everyday happy. Whether or not it is sunny or grey. I of course would prefer the sun to be shining, and giving me a nice glow, but if it is raining....well what can I do about it???? Nothing. I go on with my day!! However, Brooks is a different story. He WANTS sun! he NEEDS sun! So I guess the next opportunity we get we must head towards the sun. Even if just for 3 days. If it shut up about it, I will go! Tee hee hee. Today I successfully made 19 fence panels in the shop, which we are going to deliver tomorrow for our friend Jon. It is an insurance claim and it is his and his wife Melissa's first house so they are very excited about it. I will take pictures tomorrow and post them. Tonight I had yet another night of Bootcamp, and I came home to yet another beautiful tuna salad for my dinner with teriyaki prawns on the side. How lucky am I?? Now if he would just shut up about the damn weather, he might be lucky too......hmmmmmmmm
