Ooooh. They moved me over to the new version of Blogger, and I have to say that I like the new user interface. It's pretty. ;)

I haven't posted for a while. I've sort of been waiting for him to at least post the pictures from his birthday, then I could write about it and link to them, but he seems to be taking his sweet damn time for some reason so I'll just write a bit anyway.

His birthday was Monday, he's 25 now. We had a party at a bar and grill in Abbottsford on Saturday night, and it was a lot of fun. At least I think he had a good time. There were 16 of us there, and tons of presents for him to open, which was so nice of everyone. And he loved everything he got. After dinner and birthday cake (which his sister decorated especially for him) we all went mini golfing at Castle Fun Park. It was a nice night, with no hangovers.

This week has been a little difficult for me. It's funny because as stress goes, there hasn't been any that was actually caused by something that happened this week, it seems like all the stress from the past few weeks just decided to lay it on me now. I spent Monday and Tuesday bursting into tears all day, at work (terribly embarrassing and not how I like to spend my day), so I took Wednesday off and stayed home. Also, I didn't sleep Monday night or Tuesday night so I thought that I'd sleep on Wednesday. No luck. Read all day, didn't sleep that night either. Thursday I fell asleep in the lunchroom on my break. But Thursday night I did manage a few hours of sleep, and last night I had a perfect sleep!

I think my nerves are a little shot because of all the changes/stress around the office the past few weeks. If you haven't seen the press release (as if you've seen the press release), we are in the process of a merger with a company called HOSTWAY. All in all I think it will be very good for the company, but there are stresses that come with a move like this, and I seem to suck them up like a sponge. And I spend my days reassuring people that things will be fine and it's going to be good for everyone, when I have no way of knowing whether I'm lying to them or not. It's a terrible feeling, but I don't think there's any other way to do it right now. Blah.

I think I'm done right now. I'll just tell you quickly how much I am looking forward to the trip I'm taking in just over a week. I'm flying up to Terrace to see my Nana, and meeting my mom, both my sisters and my nephew up there! My youngest sister is going to camp in my aunt's backyard, my mom will stay in the house with my aunt, and my other sister, my nephew and I will all be staying in the 5th wheel. Camping! In my aunt's backyard, but still camping. We're going fishing, and to the lake, and just general hang-out-and-visit stuff. I can't wait. :) I'm only going for 3.5 days really, but they are going to be packed full of fun! And then at the end of July we're going on our road trip. That's going to be so much fun too! And longer. Bye for now.
