Finally found the pause button on my life.

I woke up at 11 today and its 2 pm and I'm still in my pajamas.  Finally some rest.
I have been meaning to update, and I think ok after this week I'll post...and I kept saying that because things kept happening!  So I'll back up, week of Aug 8-12:  my friend and I planned VBS at our church.  Overall it went really well, but it was a bit more stressful this year.  We had more kids...more problem kids...and we kind of thought it would all be easier because we had done it last year, but that was not the case.   I was so tired after that week.

Next week, Aug 15-19 a lot better, I started to get rid of stuff because we'd be moving on Aug. 31st, and we were apartment hunting without much luck.  Most places were gross (one smelled like cigarettes and cat pee) or they were really competitive and had 20 other people looking to rent it.  I did have a chance to get some sewing in for a baby shower.  I was inspired by Becca to start making gifts.  Its really fun, saves some money and gives me a deadline to finish.  Here is what I ended up making:


Then this week our plans were thrown up in the air when we got a call Monday morning that Justin has a job interview in Owen Sound (5 and a half hours northeast of us), Ontario.  His job interview is on Aug 29 and our move out date is Aug 31st!  So instead of apartment hunting that day we rented out a storage unit and started the moving process.  We realized we needed to be out by Aug 26th because we were going to be gone for a wedding this weekend and didn't want to return to Kingston to try and pack up our place in a day and a half.  So these last four days have been grueling.  I can't believe how much stuff we have!!  I have given at least 6 garbage bags to the thrift store and thrown out at least 7.  Last night we were finally all out of our place at 9 pm and then made the three hour drive to my in-laws.  We're going to be staying with them for the week, and then I'll go back to Kingston to stay with Justin's aunt while I start classes.  Craziness!

Its funny, the week where things were slow was my hardest week.  I just felt overwhelmed by everything because we didn't know what was going on.  This week with all the chaos has been much better.  I feel great!  Maybe because things are finally happening?  I dunno...

Anyways I really should get out of my pjs.  Its about time.  Bye for now!
