4 day weekend!

Well, it's pretty awesome when you get 4 days off.  It makes the days seem longer, and the things you do more special.  It makes me feel like you can do anything you want because you have another day to do all the weekend chores.  It feels awesome to have 4 days off.  It's nice getting away from work for that long, even though I did have to guard yesterday.

Our day has been everything we wanted it to be.  Relaxing, uneventful and glorious.  We both woke up early because Kitten was being pretty annoying.  She decided to go on a crazy run and was running all over the house.  Tyler got so fed up with her that he threw his pillow at her.  It missed and hit the dresser but he made his point.  She just kind of looked at him like, "Yeah right, do you really think a pillow is going to slow me down?"  Tyler soon got up and took her cone off.  She soon calmed down and fell asleep in her room.  I stayed in bed for about an hour and then got up.  I got to sleep with all 4 pillows and it was marvelous.

Tyler spent the morning studying and I did my own thing.  Cross-stitching, played with Kitty, ate some food.  We had a baptism to go to at 11 so we showered, got dressed and were out the door on time.  We walked to the church and soon the service started.  It was very different from any other baptism I have ever been too.  First of all, one of the songs was sung like we were at a funeral.  So slow, so sad even though it was a good song.  There were about 5 or 6 kids being baptized so it took a little while to get through all of them.  Our friends little boy was just so cute.  And the minister prayed in Heiltsuk.  We didn't understand it but it was pretty cool.

We ate some post-baptism food and hung around for a little while.  Then we left for home to grab some money to grab some food.  We are old mother hubbard out here.  It's been a while since we actually got some real food to eat.  We headed to the store to find it mostly bare.  We did get most of what we needed and came back home.  After some lunch and unpacking of food, Tyler started studying again and I went back to my cross-stitch.

I worked out a bit and played some more with Kitty.  It was a good day.  I wish we could have spent Easter weekend with our families and friends but it was a nice day.

Tyler is still studying and I'm watching a hockey game.  We are hoping the Hawks win against the Canuks mostly because it's funny to hear the people are here talk about it.  I have been watching the hummingbirds fly back and forth all day long.  They like to sit on a planter we have on our deck.  I still can't believe how small those birds are.

Tyler has his final tomorrow morning.  I know he will do very well because he is smart and has been working his butt off all week.

I'm loving tomorrow already.... No work for us!!!

Enjoy what's left of the weekend.
