Almost there

Wow how time has flown! It's almost July, and that means that I get to go to Togo soon!!! =D I leave the farm on the 6th and head up to Edmonton for a week (SOOOOO excited!!!), and then I fly to Ontario on the 12th. The team leaves on the 18th, and then on the 19th I get to see my family again!!! Ohmygosh I can't wait! It's been more than a year now and it's definitely been too long. Ee, so excited!!! The next two months are going to be heaven. =D

The past couple of days have been... different. I've been working on hoeing beets, and it's not the easiest (or funnest) job ever. We have to do "only" 30 acres, which sounds like a heck of a lot to me, but apparently last year they had to do quite a bit more. Basically we just walk up and down rows of beets and get all of the weeds out, whether with the hoe or by hand if the weed is too close to the beets. I'm actually pretty sore today, and defintely tired. This weekend's not going to be so great for resting up either. Burdett Days started this evening, with lots of baseball and I'm not sure what else. It sounds like it should be fun! I stayed home tonight with a headache, buth hopefully by tomorrow I'll be ready to get out there and play with them. =) I'm gonna go watch a movie now... Yay for LOTR!
