Spearmint Scotch Mints

Shane bought me spearmint scotch mints so I have something to suck on when I get sick in church. They are so yummy cause they are hard on the outside but chewy on the inside. I just love them.

I haven't really mentioned much about immigration in a while. We are waiting to hear back from my 1 year visitor's visa and my permanent residency application. Both could come any day now. Please pray that either will come soon because it will make things a little easier for us once they are here.

My baby is still a growing in there. He ( I say he but we have no idea) is at least 2 inches long now...probably bigger. I am 15 weeks along now. I can for sure feel my belly getting bigger but we are yet to feel the baby move. I am always paying attention to my belly...to every last thing I feel in there...hoping one time it will be the baby. Any day now, I suppose. My next ultrasound is July 12 and I am really excited about it cause my mom will be going with me :-D Can't beat that.

I am down to only babysitting one kid a day now. Today was my last day watching my nephew Caleb so really tomorrow starts only one kid.

Anyways...I hope that is enough of an update for everyone.

Busy Busy Busy

I am sorry it has taken me so long to post here again. The past week has been soo busy. Two days after we got back to Inuvik, Shane and I started babysitting 4 kids. Their parents were out of town so we stayed at their house to watch them. On top of that I was babysitting the babies and also Shane's 4 year old nephew and Shane's mom's pup. So we had a house full and our hands full. That lasted a week and now I am down to just the babies and Shane's nephew, Kaleb. So anyway... here are a few pictures from our trip to PA.

Home Again

After an exhausting few days of traveling we are back in Inuvik. We had a great trip to see my family...although it went by way too quickly. I was so thankful to see so many friends and family. I will post up some photos of our trip as soon as I can.

Cow

I found this picture on the Victorious Valley website and I thought it was really pretty.

Notice the cow lying down?

Fruit to Go

Well, I am sitting here eating a fruit-to-go. It's sorta like a fruit leather. They're yummy so I eat them a lot.

I joined a running group last week. We walk for 5 minutes then jog for one then walk for one then jog for one then walk for one for 5 times then we jog for 2 minutes then walk for 2 minutes 2 times then walk the rest of the way back. It is up and down hills, too, which makes it a little more difficult. It is pretty challenging for me but I enjoy it.

Not really sure what else is going on...it was getting warmer but then it snowed last Wednesday and hasn't really warmed up much since then. But just about all the snow is off the ground. I haven't seen Inuvik without snow on the ground since October! Now it is basically brown from the dust and mud but hopefully soon I will start to see a little green.

Well, I can't think of anything else.

Not much new

I haven't really got much to post about. Shane and I were supposed to visit Aklavik this past weekend but it's getting too warm and we didn't want to risk the ice road closing while we were over there. I am not sure if it did close or not, but I know it was awfully wet. We have been having such nice and warm days lately. Friday Shane and I went on a walk with Angie down by the river. It was so muddy! I was the only one wearing rubber boots so Shane and Angie had to be careful where they were walking while I splashed through all the mud puddles. It was a nice walk except my toes got a little sore cause my boots are a little too small. So yesterday Shane bought me new rubber boots. They fit pretty well and the tread is better so I won't slip as easily on the slippery, melting ice. I don't really know if I was supposed to use a comma there or not. So anyways...that's all for now.
