Well what a busy almost month I've had since my last blog....we had a fantastical time with the girls...we mini golfed, went to Ruckers a couple of times and Brooklyn was the big winner with 500 tickets on the big wheel....she was pretty pumped, did a little mini golfing, tried a few courses, took the girls to build a bear and got them a couple of bears for their birthday, a little surprised that Bailey couldn't wait for them to come out and when they did it ended up being the most time he spent playing fricken video games...not all that impressed, they leave, he plays less...can't figure that out...
So, Jennifer arrived Finally lol, our/Sam's friend Dan out of the kindness of his heart and love for roadtrips, picked up the Uhaul we had rented, packed up her stuff and drove her on out here and spent the week with our full and crowded house...Man it was great having our whole family under one roof....including Dan, Slapshot and Bella...she seems very happy to be home, I keep getting random hugs from her which I love, she's slowly unpacking and although I can tell she's nervous about starting school knowing no one, she's gonna do great....
We ended up having the girls longer than first thought as they arent' moving to Calgary at the start of August so that was fantastic....Sam went back to MB for her sisters bday so she brought the girls back, Dan back and Bay for a visit with his mom...the day the girls left was NOT a good day, we had to wake them up, Cassidy just sit on the bottom stair with her head down...as I was getting the last of the things packed up I went inside, asked her what was wrong and she lifted her head to nothing but tears pouring down her face, she looked at me and said, "I'm gonna miss you".....ya I died a little inside at that moment...broke my fricken heart knowing that I'm the one who moved so far away and although we don't miss a beat being apart and our relationship is great, it just hurts me knowing that my choices, no matter how good in the long run they are, still cause them some pain....they had a great visit, we all had a great time and can't wait till the next time...we got our family pic taken which was one of our priorities because we are not together all the time and it's one we'll update every year....it's the best family ever, I love them to pieces, they are my everything and I'd be lost without every one of them...
The dog is good, lovin his home and we are loving him and he and Jens cat acually get along, if you call Slapshot using her as a chew toy getting along...I do so it works lol, the kids are getting ready for school in less than two weeks...man how the summer flew by, Bay is back into hockey, he has a powerskating camp this week and Sunday a month of 3 on 3 starts and then he'll roll right into his first season as a non Maroon....can't wait for hockey to get into the swing of things.
Sam is busy managing her store and doing great although she thinks some days she's not. I also have her on "homework" duty...there's so many things she wants to do and there's so many things right within her reach and just needs a small, tiny, kick in the ass to start doing it....hence the "homework"
I am looking at making some changes for the good of the family...my current job keeps me away from them while there home and keeps me home while they're away and no job is worth that so I have a few irons in the fire and we'll see what happens over time...there's no rush as I have 6 people to think about and do right by.
We took in the Ex this weekend for the first time in years and ya gotta say, don't miss the crowds but Hedley was playing there and the concert was free with Ex admission so being Bailey's fav band and we all like them we had to go and they were worth the price of admission and more....they really played to the crowd, included them/us, had a great encore set and I can't wait to see them again.
I'm sure there's a ton I've missed putting on here but it's kind of the Readers Digest version of the last couple months....life is good, getting better everyday, I'm thankful for what and who I have in my life, I'm pretty lucky, no I"m damn lucky and don't take it for granted...never will, I have too much to lose....
I'll see ya when I see ya
