A Beekeeper's Wife (to Bee)

So its been a while since I have had a really post and while I can't promise you this one will be any good it will be longer then the last few! It has been crazy down here in Lethbridge. Between school, work, the wedding, volunteering and school I have no time. I know I put school in there twice but I seen to be there all day and when I am not there I am studying and when I am not studying I am thinking about it. Its crazy. There are so many courses I am terrified that if I don't study for hours I will get behind and never be able to keep up. The average college student takes 4 or 5 courses a semester. A nursing student takes eight! I am stressed but I am trying to leave it in God's hands.

For one of my course I had to find somewhere to volunteer for 15 hours this semester so I found the Family Centre in Lethbridge. Its a really cool organization that provides programs to kids with parents of low income families. They do really good work. I was suppose to be the indoor playground attendant and I was so excited it seemed like an awesome way to get my hours in. So the first day I got there and there was no where to park except if you pay for the meter or in the Bay parking lot but it said 2 hour parking. So I parked at the very back of the lot where there was no two hour parking signs and headed in. There I sat in this little room for three hours. Alone. Only one parent brought there children in to use the playground and only for fifteen minutes. While she was there though her baby started crying and she just casually took off her shirt and started breastfeeding. Wow! I didn't know were to look. But basically that was the excitment for the day and hopefully next week draws more people. I think I will bring my books and study for a couple hours.

Michelle has asked me to be the one to do the toast to the bride and its stressing me out. I have a good beginning and ending and lots of ideas for the middle but nothing sounds quite right. I am not at all a speech maker so the idea of getting in front of people is making me lose sleep. Usually it always turns out alright but I don't know. I am excited for the wedding though. As I see everything falling into place I can't wait to see how it turns out. I also can't wait for the people from Edmonton to come so I can visit with them again. Texting and facebook is not enough, I need person to person interaction.

On friday I am going for a hike in Coalies for one of my classes. Jolene, I know you have no idea what a coalie is so I will take lots of pictures so you can see them. They are beautiful and I am so excited. We are bringing food and having a picnic in the middle and doing some sort of wandering off by yourself and relaxing. Our teacher is concerned we are too stressed so this is her relaxation technique. Maybe I will bring my bible for my time alone. There is nothing like leaving our stress to the Lord. Its going to be amazing!

Last monday the mangment at Save On announced that they will be opening a new Save On in Lethbridge. I am so excited. They asked me if I would like to transfer. At first I thought this is what I wanted all along but when they asked me I said I would think about it. I have no idea why but something seems to be holding me back. I guess I will see, it will be a while before it opens.

So that seem to be my life in a nut shell. I will try to post pictures sometime soon. Blogs are always more interesting when they have pictures!

Bye Bye.

I will see a lot of you Saturday <3
