ahh feeling pink and relaxed :)

Hi all. I had today off and have been relaxing most of the day. We had breakfast together this morning and then noticed we had quite a bit of time before we had to leave for church.
Ever since christmas, we've been taking turns reading aloud while the other cooks, crochets, sketches, etc. We're reading the series 'The Pendragon Cycle" (Stephen Lawhead) which I got for Christmas. It's really enjoyable and better than watching t.v. all the time. Anyway, since we had so much extra time this morning, Isaac read while I crocheted. After church, we picked up some bread and eggs and I finally baked my birhday cake - same as Becca's I heard - White cake with chocolate icing. We each had a piece in honour of eachother :)
I've been crocheting some more and am currently watching a Western. Man I haven't seen a Western in years.
In other news, work is going as usual. The aren't quite as many customers in the mornings most days so I'm able to do some stocking of shelves. I like the change of pace.
So far for Isaac, this semester is busier for than the last, but so far so good. He's got another round of exams coming up soon, so he's been at school everyday studying. That's where he is now too.
Well, that's all I've got for now. I'll talk to you again later.
Love you all!

So it's been a month since I last posted. Much has happened since then. Isaac and I went to PEI for Christmas and had a great time. It was truly a blessing to get to go. We made it back to MD on the 29th (of Dec.) and spent New Year's with Isaac's family. Now it's a new year - 2008 (though I still forget pretty often at work to write 08 instead of 07).
During the first 2 weeks that we were back, I had to work everyday. I finally had this past weekend off and Isaac was in Chicago for the weekend so I got to chill and have some 'Mary' time. I watched alot of chick flicks, slept in til 9 or 9:30 every morning and worked on the blanket that we're crocheting. It's nearly done, which is great since I started it in my sophomore year at Calvin.
It was initially going to be a wedding present for Jordan and Dianna, but I've donwsized it and I think that I will still give it to them for their kids. It's going to get quite cold soon (I don't know about you Di, but it hasn't snowed here yet), so I'm sure the blanket will be useful to them. (Surprise Dianna! Bet you forgot all about that eh!)
I'm working the afternoon shift today so I figured I had no more excuses about posting anymore. Isaac will be home in an hour for lunch, so I'd better get some lunch on the go.
Love you all, and thanks for not giving up on me yet :)

I wanted to leave you guys with a pic, but since I have no recent ones, here's a wedding pic that I had some fun with.
