Well, day three of my new job has come and gone.  I still have youth tonight, so I came home with Emily at 3 so she wouldn’t be at a babysitters all day long. This daycare thing is hard. I miss my little snoochies sooo much during the day. Morgan and I make sure that we get right down on the floor and in her face when she gets home so she knows we miss her and love her and stuff. Dinner can wait a bit. I think it’s good for me to have a taste of this whole daycare things for the summer. I’ll still have school in the fall so she’s still be in daycare a bit, but not full time like right now. I’m pretty sure I won’t want her to be gone everyday after the summer. I want to teach her things. It’s hard anyways.

I’ve been working on last minute details for this weekend. I’m really excited for History Maker. So much to do, so little time. So I have to go make dinner instead of blogerizing as I’d like too.

I’m starting to get really excited for History Maker. It still seem strange to go to the coast instead of Kelowna next weekend. I thought I’d write a list of 10 things that I’m excited about for History Maker

1. We are staying in a hotel! No tents for us this year! We are staying at the comfort inn in Abby, so thats where my car will be if Pluckmama feels the needs to egg it.
2. We have several new Christians and new youth. I remember my fist youth conference. It was a “wow” moment. I’m excited for them.
3. I’m hoping to plan it so I get to know a few girls I haven’t had a chance to get to know very well yet.
4. We’ve got a 15 passenger van! Yay for needing to take a smaller carpool.
5. Deliriou5? and Stellar Kart are going to be there. I quite enjoy them both. I’ll admit I’m sad that my favy bands are at YC Edmonton instead.
6. I’m excited that I won’t have to eat fast food because %90 is meat, and I don’t eat moo’s anymore.
7. I’m excite to hear the speakers and watch the youth understand different things.
8. Did I mention the hotel?
9. Driving tunes!!
10. I think my favorite thing about Youth trips is acting my age…or maturity level I guess. I just love having fun!

I’m headed back to the Spirit comes with power conference! Laters.

Smoochey has an ear infection. 3 points to Hiedi who called it like a month ago! We’ve been having a rough go with Emily for the last couple of months. She complains that her tummy hurts. I hadn’t seen her pull at her ears until yesterday. She was all whiny last night and an hour after I put her to bed she woke up screaming. Emily loves her sleep and doesn’t often do things like that, so I didn’t really know what to do. After a good snuggle we put her back to bed. She slept for a couple more hours and then woke up screaming again. From that point on she slept and woke up ever hour or so, and from about 5am on, she slept in our bed. It’s weird to have her in our bed because from the 4th day we had her at home she’s slept in her own room. Her noises made it so no one could sleep, so she’s very used to her own room. We all basically snoozed and cuddled with Emily until we decided that was enough screaming and took her to the ER at 7am. We waited an hour and a half to see the doctor. It’s never that long, but I guess there were 2 ladies having babies and thats a problem for huncity hospital. Emily fell asleep shortly after we got there and laid on the bed all sprawled out. She certainly didn’t look like a sick baby. I was worried that they would just send us home again and Emily would continue to complain about her tummy and we would be no further ahead. We ended up getting a doctor I’ve seen before, and I really like him. He thinks outside the box and is a bit oldschool, but sometimes that’s needed.

So antibiotics are go. I’m not a big fan, but I can’t see my muffin sick like this anymore. Poor little sunshine. Ear drops are her favorite too. *Insert sarcasm here*. So here begins the next couple of days of meds and cuddles.

On a lighter note, the spirit comes with power conference at our church this weekend is going well. I’m looking forward to tomorrow because I’ll be able to stay longer. AND, I think Marie baked some of her cookies for tomorrows snack! Yay my favorite. I’ll try to limit myself to 1 or 2, but it won’t be easy.  Well, I’m getting tired and I’m not sure where yesterday started and today ended, so I should go to sleep.

My how early 6am comes on Thursdays. I managed to get back into going to my spin class this week. I missed 2 weeks because I was sick. Tuesday was ok, but this morning was hard! I had to do some serious self talk to keep myself pedaling. I was not particularly into cycling at 6am this morning. I’m proud to say I made it through though and even pushed myself for the last 2 songs. Want to hear about my new Courtenay Challenge? huh? huh? do ya?

In 3 weeks I’m going to the ladies conference that my mom and sister and I go to in Chilliwack. I’m super excited about it. At some point during the weekend we manage to get away and go shopping. A seriously favorite pass time of Roxy and my Mom. I like to shop, but they are pro’s. So anyways. I wanted to think of a way to have a little extra cash to shop with so I made a deal with Morgan. For every pound I lose before I go he’s going to give me $10. We already ruled out the loops holes of gaining it back and losing it again. Haha. So I have 3 weeks to work my butt off, literally. It’s not that he’s paying me to get skinny, I just needed some incentive to work harder at it. He already owes me $20! I would love this summer to be a summer I’m in really good shape and running and biking and outside lots. I’ll keep you up to date on the challenge as we progress…or don’t. hehe.

I got a Jorb! I got the summer student grant at the church. Morgan thinks it’s fantastic because technically speaking I become his assistant. Riight. Cause I’m really going to make him pies because my job title is assistant. Dream on. So anyways. I get to spend the summer doing things I love! I’m really excited for all the time I’ll have to work with youth and stuff. I’m not sure exactly what I’ll be doing, but I start Monday and hopefully I’ll find out more then. Yay!

Emily officially switches daycares next Tuesday. The day care she was going to was good, but they couldn’t give me full time daycare and I needed 5 days a week to make it work with this summer job. And they were going to be away for all of August, so it just wasn’t going to work out all that well. So now she goes to a daycare in the home of a lady from our church. She has great kids and during the day there will only be about 2 other kids there. She really likes it already. I think Emily is one of those kids who like anything though. Social butterfly that she is.

Random thought. Day before yesterday she shoved cheese up her nose and I had to get her baby nose snorker to get it out. ahh took my back to the good old baby booger days. She wasn’t impressed, but I was like “Um…I’m not the one who shoved cheese up there dude!” Oh and this morning’s cuteness. Emily woke up at 6:30, which would normally bug me, but I was at spin class and so she didn’t wake me up. haha. Morgan went to get her and just brought her to bed with him so she’d go back to sleep for a while. When I got home from spin class Emily’s door was wide open. I snuck into her room, but she wasn’t in bed. My heart sunk. I opened our bedroom door and let my eyes adjust. I couldn’t see her, but I could hear her sucky snoring. A little while later when I went in to wake Morgan up they were sleeping back to back under the blankets. It was soooo cute.

Well I’d better quit goofing around and finish this paper. Last class before summer vacation, which is just the weekend until I start at the church. haha

I’m taking another day off today. I should probably be doing school or something productive, but I don’t want to. I like that my idea of a day off includes working half of the day . *left for 6 hours*

Ok so then I ended up working through half of the day. I’ve been fighting with typesetting  posters and stuff this week. It’s been a pain in the butt trying to get everything to print. I’ve really enjoyed the project though. I think I’ve learned alot through this project. I’ve been looking around alot for ideas and concepts and thing. I found 2 great sites for helping my with ideas.

CreativeMYK.com
Church Marketing Lab on Flickr.

Both of those sites offer critiquing of work too. I put up a screenshot of the GDS website we’ve been working on and god some good feedback from that, and I’m planning to put up my posters for feedback too.  *oops I got side tracked again. *I really need to stop multi-tasking while blogging. seriously. Anyways. I’m working on a few projects right now, here’s the one I finished today…Just the poster.
