Still here!

I so can't believe that it has been over six months since I last wrote something on this thing. Where does the time go?
So much has happened in the Bennett household.
The boys really enjoyed their first year of hockey. It took a while for them to find their groove but they eventually caught up to and even surpassed some team mates.
Last year was pretty stressful and I told Jaiden that it was OK to vent some of the stress he was feeling into his hockey...since it is full contact. The very next game the bodies started flying and falling -and from that  game on, any time an opponent touched a puck they paid the price. It was only fitting that his team nick-named him "The Slam". Scary to think what Jordan will be like when he gets to hit. They are playing on the same soccer team and, just tonight, 3 bigger kids found out how solid Jordan is.
Jordan may be tough but he is also very sensitive. He dutifully takes care of our house plants and loves to bake. He is going to make some girl very lucky someday.


Jordan hard at work!

Me, well I have been extremely busy working at Chopstix. My best bud Chris brought me to Calgary last April to get this venture off the ground and 8 months later we were open. I barely saw my boys for the first 6 weeks but things have been better since then. I love to cook and love people so this is a good fit for me.

Had a really crappy week- seriously stressed out, but it was nice to have Sunday off and spend my birthday with my boys. Unfortunately....couldn't do the Denny's circuit on Sunday. Oh well....have to eat twice as much next year.

At least I ate cake.
My B-Day cake (pre-bake-complete with chocolate caramels and peanut butter cups). Thanks Jordan!
