The sad little life of a biochemist...

Busy! My Goodness!

So it's been awhile since my last update... Things have been a little crazy in my life...

My Grandma Harris went into the hospital at the end of May and turned out to have liver cancer. So I spent a month at the hospital, spending time with her, with my Grandpa and with family from out of town who came to see her. She died Thursday, June 15th and we had the funeral last Thursday, June 22cd.

I've been very lucky to have such an amazing and inspiring grandma...
She spent years volunteering with many organizations - she helped found the International Students' Association, worked for getting government pensions for women, received the Order of Canada, was the president of the Saskatchewan and National Councils of Women and a million others...

My grandma was very loving and really cared about us all. I miss her very much but am glad that I had a wonderful 24 years with her.

On an equally busy, but much happier note - Steve and I moved in together this week! Our place is still in disarray and we've got lots of unpacking left to do, but I love our little house! We're renting from my stepsister, Bonnie, who has moved to Regina for a year to do a practicum with her SIAST course. Once we get all settled in I'll take a few pictures and post them so you can see my little house that we're very excited to be in!
