invasion

The invasion begins: Campus is getting more and more busy every day…and the new arrivals are looking younger and younger. So much so that I’m in disbelief that they could be old enough to be in university! WOW!

The girls in our office were talking about their 19th & 21st birthdays! Man – I had the hardest time remembering these birthdays; where was I? How did I celebrate? Does time really pass that quickly? There really is some value to writing down or keeping photos of those memories. I usually default to where was I living? It tends to separate my life into 2-3 year zones. Very handy for identifying life events.

feel like fall

Any hopes of having a warm August have been dashed. The month started so lovely…hot, sunny, green and clear! But the last couple weeks are COLD, wet, blustery and feeling like fall. Yesterday morning walking through campus to my office I spotted the trees yellowing. Every year I have the same “eye-popping” reaction. Is it that time already? I love fall but I do not love the long, cold, grey, winter that follows.

Brad&I had a blast the first weekend in August helping my parents start the cosmetic renovations on their new Edmonton home. What a treat to go shopping for knobs, paint colours, window finishings, light fixtures, and countertops! I’m living vicariously through my parents until we find our own home. Plus, it’s cheaper this way!


Another month is almost finished and what a fun month. Finishing quilting projects, working on photo albums and booking up the fall calendar! And apparently pulling out the sweaters. Brrr.
