When I take long breaks from blogging I like to come back with a new design to denote a new time in my blogging career. I've heard a few grumblings that people have been wondering what happened to my blogging. To be honest I've reached that point in my life where I don't actually have that much free time sitting at a computer. I'm busting my butt to complete 40+ pages of essay for my distance learning class that's due in 2 weeks, I work several hours a week for the church, I'm taking care of Gemma for much of the daytime, I have a marriage to maintain and of course there are the other norms of life...eating, sleeping, cleaning, going to the bathroom, exercising etc. This is no complaining session on my life cuz a confession that blogging has slowed and will be slower due to the other priorities in my life. That being said, I will continue on because I enjoy having a place to release my writing energies. I like to share my thoughts, stories and life with you all...whoever that is. And I like when i dialogue begins in the comments or in emails I receive from readers (friends/family).
Summer holidays are officially over. We are back in Taiwan and Nevada and I are back at work. I guess I should do a brief recap of summer highlights:
-watched a lot of HGTV
-my side of the family had a bigger than ever Happy Everything Day
-we also had the biggest ever McKenzie Family Camping Weekend
-Nevada was the speaker for a week of summer camp, Gemma and I tagged along
-no new tattoos
-spent some time in discussion with Lakeview Church about a possible partnership with the Pearl (pray that this will work out)
-I spent a couple days in Caronport. Hoping to someday finish a M.A.Theology program from Briercrest.
-connected with a lot of good people...I don't want to list in case I forget some
-BIG BUMMER OF THE SUMMER: Gemma was hospitalized with septicimia. Spent 4 days in isolation at Regina General Hospital. No Canadian insurance so a big bill is coming our way. Hopefully our Morrison Academy insurance takes care of it. Important thing is that Gemma got better and is back to her healthy lively self.
-Got bumped up to business class on the flight back to Taiwan. First time ever...it's a nice ride but I would never pay the extra for it.
-That's all I can remember for now...
Latest news...
-Going to Hawaii in October. Our church is affiliated with a Chinese American ministry called CKM (Christ's Kingdom Ministries) and they are paying for Lydia and I to go to the annual conference.
-It's been HOT in Taiwan. Over 35 almost every single day since I've been back.
-had a good birthday. two parties, lots of people and some cool gifts. One more year til I'm 30.
BIG NEWS!!!
That's right...baby #2 is on the way. We did the home test two weeks ago and went to the doctor a week ago. It's official! We saw the heart beat in the peanut shaped fuzzy blurry thing. It's due late March....yippee!
