today's story

just a quick note to let you all know that we are still alive and loving life. we have been up island, down island, across to the mainland and back, through to the west coast from the east and are still playing here with the intent of heading off to the mainland this coming week and then back to lethbridge to pack and point our moving truck in a direction that we are still not sure of. we will let you know. scott has had some interviews and handed in lots of applications. this has been a fun yet a little stressful holiday/job seeking time. as of today, we have had some car troubles which means a rental, which reminds me of being in a spaceship...not that i have ever been in one, but if i had, this is what it would look like. anyway, a day to remember, a day that it would have been sweet to have a cell phone! if you can imagine, i was in our friends car taking three crazy little girls to mcdonalds to play in the playground as it was pouring rain and they were tried of being wet. scott was to meet me (in our car) there after he had gone to his brothers place to pick up his moms mail. and he did, he met me with sophie in his arms but i did not see the car...he had ran from one end of town to the other, about thirty minutes with sophie in his arms who almost had her head bobbed off from the run! he was wet...both from rain and sweat! so what were we to do, we had four children, two needed car seats and and two adults, and one car...with errands to do. so after some problem solving we all managed to get home and all in one piece...i won't tell you how we did it! as i explained the story to sam, whose child was still with scott getting the rental car, her little eyes got wider and wider, then she smiled and laughed and said she was glad it was us! but we are home safe and sound. we finished with a marshmallow roast and fire. so here we are, leaving the island a little later than we thought, but enjoying our time with our friends. i promise to have some pictures next time...i have lots. take care, we are looking forward to visiting with many of you soon.
