Sometime in the night our bunny Bannud Foo Foo died. We aren't quite sure why, and we're sad. She was so cute, and special and good at letting kids touch her and play with her. I felt lucky to have such a great bunny. I may be biased, but I thought she was cuter than most bunnies. We picked her out right away, when she was only a few weeks old. She was chubby with a plump round belly, and I fell in love. We waited til she was ready and then brought her home. These pictures of her are shortly after that. I loved her brown eyes, and her pretty color, and the way she would stretch out her hind legs when I brought her in the house to hang out. She was special and she was ours and we loved her, and we'll miss her.

Back on The Saddle
I can feel myself drifting away from the blog world and becoming a Katie who blogs once or twice a year. Three if we're lucky. What has become of me??

This is my attempt to get back on the saddle. Do you know about saddle sores? I just found out about them. Running has done this to me.

The only thing that's really new with me, is that I'm almost ready to run my half marathon. I think I have less than three weeks left. I'm excited for that. I'm also a little excited for the hardcore training to subside. I've learned a lot in this process, and I'm glad that I'm doing it. I needed a new thing to work towards. I've felt good as I have stuck to it. I have really come a long ways. People at Adriel's school always tell me that they see me out running. This makes me feel a little sheepish.

Kyle never did find a co-op position for engineering. We prayed and fasted and prayed and prayed and fasted that he would be able to find something in Kelowna. It didn't happen. We have accepted that it wasn't meant to be, and the upside is that he'll be done school sooner. So, this week he went out looking for work (before this he was tiling for friends and people in our ward) and on the first day he came home with a job. He's tiling for some flooring company. He started today. When it happens so easily like that, you just know it 's right. I'm so lucky that I have husband that has so many skills. He's not just an average joe tiler, he's really good at it, and he's fast too. He's a hard worker. I have complete confidence that whoever hires him isn't going to regret it. It's nice that we have tiling to fall back on as a way to make money during the summer. It's nice to have a break from school. When he's home, he can be with us. We don't have to share him with studying. I like it. We have been watching a lot of tv together. (what? the weather hasn't been nice this week)

I got a new calling. I'm the second counselor in the Young Women's presidency. I'm really excited about it . I already like the girls a lot. And the other leaders that I'm working with are really interesting and fun too. I need to get to know more people, and get more involved in our ward, and since I'm naturally quiet, it's nice to have something to give me a little push. Also, to be quite honest, I'm a little lacking in the friend department. I don't feel it as much with family nearby, but it would be nice to have some more friends. Kyle and I are going on a double date this weekend with the YW pres and her husband.

I have been playing a lot of soccer.  Mom, Dad and Martha came to watch my game on Tuesday. My coach plays me on defense a lot, and he had me on defense that game. It's not my favourite position, but I'll take what I can get. Dad stood up a long the sidelines and yelled things at me and my team. Not bad things.

I started to eat an apple but then I stopped.
