Seagull Legs

On Friday night Wendy, Janice and I had a celebration of sorts... We toasted to my new job, to Wendy's domain (wendesign.ca) and Etsy site and to Janice - because we love her.

As we sat at White Rock, eating our fish and chips, the seagulls began to surround us. They were getting closer and closer and ruffling their feathers. I was getting uncomfortable, Janice was getting irritated, both with me being uncomfortable (and subsequently getting closer to her lap) and with the birds. When all of a sudden Wendy says (in all seriousness) "Doesn't it just look like I could snap their little legs?" And then we laugh... a lot.

And that is why I love these girls. The celebrate with me, they laugh with me, they laugh at me, they know my junk, they've seen me cry, they've called me out on my crap and they still love me.

... it's about time

I know, I know, its been a long time! Really I'm quite a hypocrite for ever bugging Darren about his blog because mine is starting to gather even more cobwebs than his! I now have 2 great reasons to post a blog though so I will write this post and then make a concerted effort to love it and pay a bit more attention to it...

Reason #1 -

I met my blogging crush. Two weeks ago Janice and I went to Summerland and I got to meet Amanda who's blog I read ... a lot. That's write, I'm a bit of a blog stalker. She's pretty great and hilarious and her daughter is just too adorable! So I met her and she checked out my blog... and then Facebooked me to get my act together, so here it is Amanda!

Reason #2 -

Something very exciting happened! I got a new job. Starting May 1st I will be the Ministry Hub Coordinator at Langley EV Free Church. I'm so excited I have basically not stopped smiling since Thursday night and sometimes I just squeal ... that's right, I said I squeal. Its a really good thing Janice doesnt read my blog cause she would smack me for being such a girl. I can't wait! I'm so stoked excited to be a part of this awesome team of people that love Jesus so much that they are giving their lives to "push back the darkness in Langley" (I have to put that in quotes because it really is taken straight from Darren's mouth :)). Maybe it sounds corny but I can hardly wait, its my idea of the perfect job.

So the whole interview/application process has been a few months and I guess I've just kept putting off posting because I wanted to have something really exciting to talk about. And, of course, another very exciting thing in our life right now - Matt graduates in 2 weeks. More about that soon...
