We're Still Around!
Sorry for the long absence! Here is a quick note to drop by and say hello! We are still around and kicking! Life has been busy for us over here due to a variety of reasons. Winter semester for both mr.hubbins and I flew by as classes, exams, and papers kept us busy. Just as our winter semester was winding down to an end I was put in a compromising situation with the company I was working for. I was told I was a worthless employee and that I should have called to get permission to leave site when Jessa had an allergic reaction to one of the vaccines she was given. Needless to say as school was ending we were forced to study, pack, and search for a place to move to.
Luckily through the grace of God and His tender mercies we were able to find a place to move to that we could call our own. We found a place twenty minutes outside of Edmonton and are living in the Sturgeon County area. It allowed for me to be home and focused on little miss more and it was what we all needed. Little miss has blossomed since moving she is happy now to play by herself, explore the house on her own, and open the balcony door and wander into the backyard to play. It was sad to finally see and understand that the company I was working for was taking a toll on our whole entire family, and I am so grateful that we could escape from such a horrible company to work for.
Summer has flown by for us as mr. hubbins has continued with his schooling and on his limited days off from work, he is engaged in a practicum that keeps him going at all hours of the day. We will be excited for summer to be done so we can have Ya Ya back at home, as little miss so lovingly calls him.
Being close to graduating school for me has been such a blessing but also a bit of a disappointment due to the reasoning that I have to leave princess buttercup to go. July has been a hard month for her due to the fact that I have had to take a class that has been a full three weeks long every day. Needless to say when the weekends have come, she has been a Momma's girl, or as I have been lovingly named MiMi!
This weekend us girls headed off to the farm that is close by our house. We played with the goats, watched the chickens and roosters, jumped at the sheep baa at us, watched a puppet show, went on a train ride, and finished the day with some fudge samples and a free ice cream cone. It was a wonderful day and I was grateful for the quiet moments we got to enjoy the outdoors together. I am so excited for this week to be done so I can enjoy the precious months with princess buttercup before my practicum starts in October. This year I can't wait for it to be over so I can enjoy time being a mom again without the worries of school <3
