Regardless here is a bunch of things that have been happening around here and coming up.
1) May was a full month. It always is in my family due to so many birthdays. We celebrated my nephew's birthday, then Mother's day, then my parents went on an Alaskan cruise, then celebrated my Dad's birthday, then my Mom's, then a great friend's birthday and then her Mom's birthday. Phew! We had gorgeous weather the majority of May which brought us cleaning off our deck and enjoying the outdoors as well.

2) Due to no job yet, I've been using my skills and abilities that God has given me to bring in a little extra. A great friend of mine and myself booked a table at Kids Swap. For those that don't know what Kids Swap is it isn't to swap your kids. If that was the case it would be a new way for me to get one :) It is a place where you buy a table and are able to sell anything kids. You can find everything from furniture to baby toys to clothing to new items, etc. I LOVE making square receiving blankets for newborn babies as they are hard to find in the stores and they are the best to swaddle a baby in. So I have been doing a lot of sewing and sold a bunch of them! Every little bit helps especially with my teaching done for the summer. It was a lot of fun as well.
3) Still job hunting. This is a hard one as you feel so out of control in the whole process. The most any person can do is apply EVERYWHERE and wait. You can't force them to set up an interview or to say "You're the one I want to hire" as much as I'd like too sometimes. But God has the right job out there. Until then it is amazing how life can fill up each day.
4) My Piano recital is this week for my students and I'm quite excited about it. My sister and I always do a joint concert for our students and it is always a big hit for the end of the piano year. I've been busy with programs, tickets, awards, etc. to make the evening special for not only the students but the parents, grandparents, friends and other family that attend.
5) My in-laws are coming to town at the end of this week! That is probably why the list is so long this week of things I need to accomplish :) I'm really looking forward to having them stay with us for a week as we are blessed to see them once a year if it works out as they live on the other side of Canada.
6) And last but not least I have a new NEPHEW!! He was born on Saturday and he is just perfect! My brother and sister-in-law are doing well. He is their second son and makes their little family in a new spot in life but oh so good :)
So that is the update. When I have more time I'll add pics to this post. Hope you are all doing well and enjoying each day God gives us.
