Theology Books, Hobbies, Chalkboards, LCD Screens, Star Wars, Corn Fever, Age and New Beginnings

Well I have succeeded again at avoiding my blog for endless amounts of days. But to be fair I always do come back. This post will be a mish mash of info and updates and due to this i am going to adopt Sheena's way of doing a nice jot list of it all...

-So we never ended up moving to Vancouver. Many of you may already know this. To me and Jeremiah this is a rather anti-climatic event, bittersweet if you will. House searching in VAN took its toll on us and we thank our good friends for all the support during the multiple trips down broadway in search of the perfect suite. Due to tuition costs and living costs and being unsure of it all, we decided in the end VAN was not for us, not for now. One problem with this decision was that we fully had intended to move and as such, had trucked Jeremiah's theology library across the rockies to the west coast. Not staying resulted in us trucking those books across the border, washington and oregon, which was quite a feat which the Saturn did not prefer. Anways it is with sadness we will not get to experience VAN and all the good people we love there, however it is with hope that we re-evaluate things and stay in Okotoks for awhile.




-Since we didn't have the excitement of moving to a new place, we figured we owed it to ourselves to have something new and exciting for our "new" old place in Okotoks. This resulted in a flat screen T.V. and mac mini. There is just something about commercial goods that sometimes seem to mend a troubled heart. So now Jeremiah and I enjoy both being able to be on the computer at the same time with no squabbles, as well as watching movies on a decent size screen....bye bye macbook for media entertainment purposes. Another addition to our house was a chalkboard which we made together. I have always thought chalkboards ruled and I am excited to now have one!!!! It has already been very useful as you can see in the photo, as we were able to publicly document the recent Star Wars marathon we had, including movies ratings and favorite characters...so definitely very useful :)





-Recently I have been realizing that I don't have a lot of prominent hobbies. I definitely have things I enjoy, but nothing that really seems to be my thing...This was made more evident to me yesterday as Jeremiah was busy with school (he is taking an online course) and I was just lulling about the house, with what seemed like absolutely no idea what to busy myself with. Jeremiah says to me, "why don't you just find something that interests you and do it". Hmmmm good idea, but what do I like to do. That is the question. Feeling a bit bad that I don't seem to have any current hobbies, I up and took a jewelry making class, which resulted in 5 semi-nice pairs of expensive earrings, but also a new skill I guess which was fun.


The Five First Pairs



-Has anyone else realized that sometimes eating just corn and corn type products for a meal is the perfect thing? We like to call it CORN FEVER and definitely recommend it.



-Age of Empires. Heard of it? Well I have, mainly because I know that it is the game that can keep my husband from snuggling me at late hours once in awhile. However this game took on a new meaning last night, as I gave in...and I played it with him. Now this is hard to admit, and though I know I will likely not development a type of addiction to the game I can now see a glimpse of admiration for the game. Cons of playing: Very sore neck, I was terrible and I actually had a full out dream that I was battling all night leading to unrestful sleep. Pros of playing: I can now be included in Jeremiah's love for age. Kind of nice I think.


Ok, that is enough randomness for now. But for those of you that are still faithful to blogging, I am still here and please drop in from time to time.
