A few days after getting back from Wemindji, I headed off to Marsha's cottage which is about an hour outside Kingston with Monika and Carmen. It was a great girl's weekend with a ton of laughs, lots of deep conversation and excellent relaxation time. Marsha and Jeremy's cottage is amazing, it is in incredible shape on a beautiful waterfront and even has a pontoon boat!! If you know my past with the Yukon Gold Rush game you know that I love me some square boats, so this was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better girl's getaway weekend with better people.
My youngest sister Hilary is also at this time 5.5 months pregnant with the first grandchild on my mom's side. He will be named Robin after Mike, her boyfriend's father, and the middle name Jack for my grandfather. I am very very excited for this new arrival and planned what I think might be the baby shower of the century. I have tons of fun games and activities planned and my vision is slowly becoming a reality. As you know I love to throw a good party and I couldn't have a better reason or a better time to do so! I will miss my favorite part of other people's pregnancies (the growing belly) but if everything goes smoothly and Baby Robin arrives on time, I might be able to swing down a very short and fast trip to see him and Hilary! I know myself and I can't wait until Christmas break to see my first nephew (he is due November 10th). Eryl is graciously taking the weekend off to help me prepare for the shower next Sunday and it is rainbow themed (since I couldn't wait to know the gender I NEEDED to plan while I was still in Wemindji haha!! A little impatient...).
Other than that I have been indulging in naps, planning a little here and there, seeing friends and family and doing all that I feel necessary on my summer break (which is minimal - I am exhausted, Grade 1 shortened my lifespan by about 9 years I think).
