Life slowing down

There is not a whole lot to report these days - life has slowed RIGHT down and I love it!! We have now officially started our internships which is interesting! So far things have been pretty easy and straight forward - we had a guest group come in today (Adult Fall Adventure) so we have been cleaning like mad trying to get ready! Jon and I are using the program office as our office - right now its cold and pretty boring so we are going to think of ways to spice it up!! We are enjoying the quieter life, and just being able to spend time together. We threw an LIT wind-up party on Saturday at Tim and Lois' house with all the LIT's (more to come on that later!) which was lots of fun. We also had our first leaders meeting at Parksville Baptist last wednesday and we are SOO excited to start being youth leaders out there. Kick-Off is this coming wednesday!! We also went to our first church service out at Parksville and we really really enjoyed it. Its still hard to not be a part of the Gathering - we miss Kevin Fawcett as our Pastor! - but this seems like it will be a really good fit for us. I also have started my 12 Week Transformation Program and I feel REALLY good about it. Jon is doing the eating part of it with me, and we are having lots of fun experimenting with new, HEALTHY foods! He is still the head cook in this family, and he does such a good job at it :) The work-out side of it is hard, but that is how it should be right? Overall, we are enjoying a quieter life, and getting much needed rest. Even Jake seems to have calmed down a bit and is not so crazy anymore! haha We will see how long that lasts! 5 more days until we leave for MEXICO! YAY!
