another day....

So I clearly failed at posting last week....making it one less blog till the wedding! So exciting!!!
But I have an excuse for not posting. Last week I was on holidays!!! Yeah! I visited family in PEI! So nice! It was a busy week and I now wish I had a vacation after my vacation but life goes on.

My favourite part of the Island is the scenery it`s so beautiful and peaceful there. I love the red cliffs you can see all around the Island. I also am a big fan of lighthouses. When I went to PEI in January, my sister and I visited a good number. We visited our favourites from that trip again this time and they are even more beautiful in the summer - not surprising. We visited some that we had never seen before too which was cool. In particular we made it to Seacow Head Lighthouse which is the one from the start of Road to Avonlea.
It was used to do all the long shots of Gus`light house. I looked into it and they built a replica in Uxbridge for the actual taping. The view from that point on the Island was amazing!! The picture on the left is of one of the views. Just to the right of the cliffs if the picture was clearer you could see the Confederation Bridge. It was pretty cool. It was my first time going over it. It was a neat experience too. So weird to think about how high you are and all the water below you.

Our trip to the Island centred a lot on our family. We had 6 days on the Island and spent 3 of them with my grandmothers family. We are blessed with such a warm and loving extended family. My sister who lives on the Island has become like a second daughter and grandaughter to all of them. It is nice to see. While we were there, they talked about having another large family reunion in 2012. So here`s hoping. It would be nice to see everyone again. So that is what we are planning towards now as a trip for 2012!!

Now here we are halfway through August, work is continuing to speed on - faster than I wish. I feel like things NEVER slowed down this summer. But I do enjoy my job most days! Who knows where life will take me though. I know that I won`t be at this job forever. It`s not practical to do this job while raising a family so I have been thinking about what comes after. What comes next in the life of Katie jobwise.....only time will tell!! All I do want out of life is happiness :)
