Friday is here!

I love our neighborhood. Last night I went out for a jog and was reminded of how happy I am to live in a lively neighborhood. There's always people out and about and something fun to see. I never realized how much I missed that in Dupo where everyone kept to themselves (at least on our street). When I got home from my jog, I realized that I had taken the wrong keys and was locked out of the house. I didn't really mind though, because it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the weather and watch the neighborhood kids. Luckily it wasn't that long before Dale & Jacq came home to rescue me.

George, our next door neighbor passed away last week. He'd been in the hospital since April and we've been taking care of his yard. He was a really nice old man. He lived with his daughter Kim and her son Connor, who we've also got to know and think they're really nice. I feel really bad for them. I know that death is a part of life, but I just hate it! I hate seeing people hurt from the loss of a loved on.

On to a more chipper topic...Steve went out with Jason (his former boss who was fired and Steve took his position) last night and had a good time. I'm so glad that the whole ackward job situation has not affected their relationship. They were VIP's at some big event at Scatz that had free beer all night. Luckily Steve had actually eaten something that day and even had dinner too, so we didn't have a reprise of a few weeks ago when I had to crawl out of bed and go pick him because he was too tipsy to drive even though he had barely had anything to drink. I was glad that he had learned from his past experiences the value of having some kind of food in your system if your going to consume alcohol.

I'm looking forward to the weekend - BBQ tonight, Jazz Festival tomorrow and our first official church service on Sunday - yea!
