Yippeeee!!!

Okay....I have given up trying to get caught up. Just when I think I am close, I get busy and get behind again.

Not much has been really going on in our family. We have had a kinda low key summer.

There is some big news in our family though.....I am going to be an aunt again. My SIL is due on Thanksgiving Day. What an awesome blessing that will be added into the family during a season of Thanksgiving!

In other news, I have a cousin getting married in March and we are going to be able to go.....there is one little catch to it.....it is in AUSTRALIA!!! Yep....we are going down under! I have been blessed to be able to go a few times and this will be Steven's second trip, but of course it is Emmaline's first time. I am very nervous traveling for that long and that far with her, but I know that it will be worth it. She is so excited!! We will be leaving a week after her birthday so she tells everyone that she is going to the beach after her birthday. And then she tells them that the beach is on the other side of the world. She is somewhat nervous herself. She understands that there is a lot of water between here and there and she wants to wear her swimsuit in case she falls in (and she does NOT want to fall in).

We also just found out today that Steven has won a trip through his work. They ran a 30 week sales contest and he came in the top 5!!! He has worked very hard and I am SOOOO proud of him. So we are going to the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!!! I can hardly wait for this one. We are leaving Emmaline with family and we are going to go and sit, read, relax and sleep!!! Only seven weeks till we go! Good thing I had been buying up summer items on clearance for our trip down under :-)

Hope everyone out in blogger world is doing well!!!
