At work, the project that I have been working on since my return from maternity leave, was implemented at the end of January. This project was re-doing the entire general ledger for all 13 stores so that they were consistent. A little background, which might be full of accounting jargon! Sorry! Before, as new stores were added, different GL's were created, making changes from the time before. This meant that none of the account numbers were the same, making consolidation very difficult. At the end, it was a matter of inputting numbers into a spreadsheet to get a consolidated financial statement, which was a very tedious, time consuming project every month. Especially for 13 stores! The implementation of the new GL went quite smoothly, surprisingly enough! A few minor things came up, but they only took a few mintues to a couple of hours to fix. Success!
Now that that project is completed, I will be taking on the books of one of the stores. Not sure which one, but that will be decided shortly.
Also, I just wrote my 18th exam for my CGA. It was actually a university course through Laurentian University. I am now starting my Auditing course. Once I'm done that (I'm taking the summer off), I only have 2 more CGA courses and 3 more University courses, AND I'M DONE!!! Hopefully only 2 more years and I'll be done this long, LONG, LLOONNGG journey that I decided to start in 2001!
We've also been really busy with birthday parties since the end of January. We ended up having. We were invited to 9 birthday parties in 8 weeks. 2 of those were Breana's parties, and we didn't make it to another one, but wow! I think all the girls in Breana's class all have their birthdays within 2 months of each other! That gets very tiring!
We signed Breana up to play baseball this spring. She said she would "try" it, but she was adamant that she didn't want to play soccer. I'm not sure what she has against soccer, but oh well! I'm not going to force her!
In the next couple of weeks, we are heading to Winnipeg with my mom for some retail therapy. Breana doesn't have school this Thursday and Friday due to parent/teacher interviews, so we are taking the opportunity to get a away for a couple of days. The only thing that would make it better would be if Terry would have been able to join us. Oh well, the first half of spring break, we are heading down to Minot to visit one of Terry's high school friends. We are going down with Scot, Kim, Declan, Cordelia, Dmitri, and Trevor, Lorry, and Hayden, so it should be a good time with great friends!
Here are some pictures from our hot dog roast at Oak Lake. A good time was had by all!

Looks like you had a fun winter. It seems the winters that go by, the longer they get. Guess I'll have to try to find a winter pasttime that will make it go by a little faster.
Love to hear about all the kids and the fun things they do.
