Is it a Little Breezy in Here?

So, today I was at work, changing out of my biking clothes into my work clothes, and I learned something new about my not-so-new pants. Apparently, they have been washed too many times to remain extremely wearable. Yup, nice big rip, in a strategic location, resulting in a higly awkward situation for me. Trying to be creative with staples, tape, and the cut-off top part of my socks didn't result in a suitable remedy to my problems, so I made an emergency trip to the Dollarama for some needles and thread. Thankfully, it was the last day for those pants anyways since I'm working in aisles for the next few days instead of receiving. Why couldn't they have given up the ghost tomorrow instead?

Time Flies Like an Arrow; Fruit Flies Like a Banana

10 days left until we hit the road with all our stuff and start our new life out in St Catharines! It's crazy how time has gone by so quickly - it's been a busy two months since we bought our house on Victoria Day. We've started to do some serious packing - our storage room is organized into boxes, the books are off the shelves, anything hung on the walls is now packed, and the cupboards are getting emptier. Time is getting filled up with meetings with lawyers, insurance agents, bankers, and plumbers, and a long "to do" list seems to keep getting longer. Today is our last Sunday in Rehoboth - it feels weird to have people come up and say goodbye. Of course, we'll be back for visits every once in a while, but its strange to realize that contact from now on will be so limited! I was born and grew up in this congregation, and it's sad to leave. But of course, exciting to be moving to a new community, a new church, and a new city, meeting lots of new people and starting new jobs.
But before all of that "new" stuff begins, we've got an exciting week ahead of us. Although we have felt quite far away from all the planning, we hope to help as much as we can with any last minute preparations and details for a most exciting event coming up this very Saturday!! We are very much looking forward to attending Jeremy and Sarah's wedding, witnessing the vows they will make to each other, and celebrating with them the beginning of their new lives together. It's hard to believe that the day is almost upon us, and we are so very happy for them!! Congratulations guys! I'm sure I'll be posting a few pictures.
Anyways, it's Sunday afternoon, and I have about a hundred pages left to read in my book. The unfortunate thing is, in our packing frenzy last night, it was tucked away in one of the boxes that can be found in the pile which is taking up 1/3 of our living space. I'm really hoping it's near the top!

Our Living Room

Smaller

Either the rest of the world is a little bigger than normal today, or else I shrunk 5% overnight. I noticed this phenomenon this morning, when I was at work. There had to be a reason why I kept tripping over skids, boxes, and my own feet. There had to be a reason why all the skids that were delivered today seemed so much bigger than usual. There had to be a reason why everything was so much heavier today. It's just got to be that the size ratio of WORLD to RACHEL was meddled with overnight and the result has been an increase in clumsyness. Put yourself in my shoes for a moment: suddenly the juice jug on the refrigerator shelf is that much higher up than it used to be, and the door is that much bigger and easier to stub your toe on, and obstacles are that much harder to avoid running into. It's been an interesting day. I wonder if I'll be even smaller tomorrow.
