Catch Up Time

I recently received an email from a dear friend.  It was short and sweet...okay maybe not really that sweet.

"We are disappointed over the lack of blog lately.  It's been a whole month since you have put anything on.  We live vicariously through you."

I was a little flattered to know that someone actually is reading my blog so I thought I should do an update.

So what has been happening this last month?  After Cheryl and Haylee left life seemed to slip into some normality...wait a minute....my life is never really that normal.

Ron hurt his back again and was off a week and then when he went back to work he started training a new member fresh out of depot.  They spent one lunch hour at the church that we attend serving tacos to the students of our town.

This new member didn't have a place to live so he is staying with us right now until he moves into his apartment in May.  He is a perfect house guest and since they work on the same schedule it works well.

We were thrilled to have a visit from some of our Deschambault Lake family.  Dan, Tiffany and Copper came for a short stay but it was such a thrill to have them.

We had cinnamon buns, a steak dinner and of course, a couple of games of Catan.  Dan and I each won.  The next morning they left for Edmonton and I went to a specialist in Calgary.

Soooo...a few years ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.  I have been on medication for that but I noticed that things just weren't right so I asked my family doctor about it in the fall.  She sent me for an ultrasound on my throat.  Something showed up.  I was referred to an ENT who did a scope and referred me to an Endocrinologist who requested thorough blood work and did a biopsy on my thyroid.  I then went back to the ENT who is referring me to another endocrinologist as I need to have my medication regulated and whatever else they need to do as I have Hashimotos disease.

 So I am waiting to hear back for when that appointment will be. 

On Friday, I made an Easter dinner for Ron, John (the new member), and Andrew and Brianne (our wonderful Three Hills' kids). 

Richelle and I went to church Sunday morning.

Easter brought snow but fortunately it didn't last too long and we were able to take the dogs to the dog park.

Oh, one more thing....my hubby has been applying to some corporal positions and so we will wait and see what is next in our lives. 

Doesn't he look scary!  This picture was taken by a student in the Digital Media at the college where I work.

So Bruce and Lynne, there you have it....you now know what the last month was like BUT if you really wanted to know what was going on with us you could have come to visit!!!!
