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 :)

You know...I never forgot about that blanket..but I wasnt about to hold it to you to give it to me..I know what its like to have to finish such a project as that! Im thrilled that I still get to have it, and if I remember correctly, it will fit nicely in my house. I hope that we can get together sometime soon again, it was fun to have you guys over when you were here last!

Oh there you are! :) I kept looking... I knew I'd find you someday. :)
Sounds like you're working alot. I hope you're having some fun times too. Do you have a bunch of girlfriends to hang out with? I know that Isaac is busy studying -- hope he's doing well.
No snow! incredible. School's been cancelled here for 2 days on account of snow. The kids are happily playing in the livingroom as I type this.
I'll never give up on you Mary. I love you, Tante Karen
PS Keep up the work on the blanket. What a nice gift.
I was windering when you'd be in town Brian. I heard you and Ben are coming for dinner on tomorrow. Sweet! I wonder what Isaac's cooking? :) I look forward to seeing you!

Glad you got your crocheting fix and a girlie weekend! Those are such fun! I get to do that when the guys go on their back country canoe trips. Uncle Ray has four or five of those planned this summer....even one with his dad!! They're both very excited about that one!
