Part Deux

Nix that, there will be 3 parts! This is Part Deux.

My baptism was August 15th. We went to my aunts camp in Oxford, Maine. The lake was so nice and the weather was great. I was surrounded by my family and friends,
it was a wonderful day.

Pastor Mary Beth and I in the pond before my baptism.

Almost there...

All done!

a word of Prayer

This is what pople were waiting for--the food!!

Summer!

Summer has officially started, but it feels like it only started yesterday! We have had rainy, rainy, rainy weather for a few weeks now. Yesterday it was sunny and today looks as thought the rain might hold out.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

We haven't decided if we're going to go to a fireworks display or what we'll do.

Scotty has the whole week off, so hopefully we have lovely weather.

I'm still at Sylvan and I'm still liking it a lot.

Jerry and Chantal's wedding was on June 20th and it was so beautiful! The colors she picked went lovely together and the food was great! I can't believe it's almost been a year since our wedding! We're planning on going camping for our anniversary, probably in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

I started TOPS 5 weeks ago and so far I have lost 6.8 pounds. I hope to lose at least 10 pounds before the end of the summer.

I'm still applying for teaching positions and I have an interview for a day care position next week.

I'll write more soon!

Sew....

I haven't written in years (at least, it feels like it).

I'm working at Sylvan Learning Center and having fun. I get about 12 hours a week for now, but I should be getting more when summer starts. Oh summer, how I've missed you.

The weather here in Maine has been FABULOUS!

Scotty and I went for a drive on Saturday. In the morning he had fire training, but after we took a drive down to the coastal area and back home. We had ice cream along the way, which I love. And that also probably ruined the healthy lunch we had--subway. Well, mine was healthy (veggie delight) Scotty's wasn't (meatball sub).

I got out my sewing machine about a week and a half ago. I haven't had it out since we moved...over a year ago. Blah! But I've been making tote bags for grocery shopping and I made a burp cloth last night.


So right now I'm cleaning some cloth diapers, hoping that they're dingy-ness will go away with a good bleaching and a good washing/drying so I can use use them to make more burp cloths. I told Erin that I'd make her some. Then I looked into the cost of new cloth diapers and I was less than thrilled. So I dug out the old ones we had hanging around. I was disappointed in their dingy-ness, but hopeful (like I said) that a good bleach soaking and a good washing-drying will help them.

I'm on the second book of the Left Behind series. I wish I were actually reading more. But I did ask Erin to borrow some books.

I've become addicted to swap-bot.com. I'm swapping with people far and wide and I love it. Right now I'm sticking to light weight swaps because of the cost of postage. But it's still fun. I'm swapping fat quarters, sewing notions, sewing surprises, recipes and other crafty things.

And of course, I've been applying my brains out still. Hopefully a full time teaching job comes my way soon. Pray for that please.
