Our story

Our love story begins when i was 13 and he was 14

Yes i knew that young…

My cousin invited me to go to a youth camp with her

i have seldom been away from my parents and this was several hours away

But they reluctantly let me go…

The first night of camp, i sat across from this cute guy and i asked him to "please pass the water", he did and smiled… 

Wow, in the instant i fell in love with him, YES at 13..

I told my cousin that i was marrying him and they laughed at me.. but I knew in my heart he was the one.

I went home and didn't speak more to him until Sept when i went to the mail box and there was a letter address to Terri Lynn White- so not my last name but i assumed they were looking for me…:p

This was a hand written letter from him, the first few years letters weren't anything more then pen pals and that was ok to he got my name straight as well, still tease him about that. 

3 year later he called me on the telephone( most of our relationship was long distance) , i was shocked and had no idea what to say.. besides the fact that everyone was home and i was on the only phone in the house.. i was mortified and scared, embarrassed

and there was a lot of silence, i thought for sure i wouldn't hear from him again. A few weeks later he called again, this time there wasn't as much silence, but still some.. hey, i was getting better. ( now he tells me he wants that silence back, haha)

several months before his high school graduation he asked me to be his girlfriend, the way he said it was so sweet though..  he said… Spring, when a young man's fancy, turns to love, Terri, will you be my girlfriend? I cried so hard, it was the sweetest thing ever heard. 

He invited me to go to his high school graduation, while at his high school graduation we went for a walk on some trail ( just the two of us, we seldom got alone- which is a good thing really) while on that trail he turned to me and said " do you know what i would like to do right now, i said i have no idea, he said come closer, i will show you, We then shared our first kiss…. he is so romantic. 

The next year i graduated high school and asked him to be my date (off course), we had a great time, the more i was with him, the more i loved him. 

I moved to where he lived for school, and while there i became so homesick that i came back home and went to school closer to my parents, a few days before i left he gave me flowers for my birthday, i remember the night before i left, he looked at me and i thought i had lost him forever, but thankfully i was wrong. 

It took me some time to get over what ever i was dealing with, and i went a while with no contact with him because had to make sure this was what i needed and wanted. I missed him so much during that time. 

I was very very thankful to have this amazing man in my life. 

When he graduated university, he came to visit me for 2 weeks, we had sun a great time, it was also during that time that my dad got him a full time job with the local ambulance serve ( not what he went to university for), he took the job to be close to me, 

January 2002 whir walking in a snow storm, he proposed to me, it was the most romantic thing ever, i cried again and couldn't believe it was actually true, i kept saying is this for real..

We got married May 4th ( next month will be 11 years)- we had a big wedding, and it was the best day of my life.

I love him more now then that first day i saw him, i fall more in love each moment I'm around him, off course we fight, but that makes your relationship stronger. 

We have one daughter and he is an awesome daddy to her. 

I am thankful to God that he brought me this man. 

I got a JOB!
for the next month at least...it has the possibility to become full time
I start on wednesday
I will be a receptionist for CNIBC( institute for the blind)

Weekend Recap

Friday: 

Last day of Spring break here in NB, hubby was also off for the day....

the men from the church went skiing for the day so i agreed to take a friends kids so he could go as well. 

They left around noon, i got the kids some food first, then we took a little walk ( Brooke was at a friends house over night and not home yet) 

By the time we got back it was time for the little guys nap, he napped for 2 hours, my friend Faith came over and had supper with us, i got pizza delivered and it was the worst tasting pizza i ever got, seriously, it was gross...

Hubby got home around 7 pm, my 8:30 we were all starved and he had to go get some food, I needed to get groceries and had planned to do it Saturday) 

Brooke had her friend here for a sleep over...

We then relaxed and watch the hockey game and off to bed early because he was exhausted from skiing.

Saturday: 

I had to be up and at market before 11:30 am to deliver the scarfs to the guy who placed a 30 piece order....

hubby and i went, the girls stayed here with Moses who is staying here for the week= free sitting :P

He figured we should have a breakfast date while we were out, we went to this little place called Crispins, never been there before but will def be going back, i ordered the french toast and ham, he ordered eggs, ham, sausage and toast... 

it was the best french toast ever and the company was the best <3 

also went to get some groceries before we came home- didn't get a whole lot but still spent almost $150.00- food is getting expensive. All you people in the US get food for so cheap, i am jealous. 

Did some more errands and came home in time for the hockey game, My Bruins won and it was an awesome game, i predict Bruins and Kings in the Stanley cup final and the bruins take it in 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Saturday evening i did some laundry and prepped for sunday school.

Sunday: 

Sunday school was difficult- i am finding that the age range is too much of a difference and we need another teacher, but we really only have one kid we can put in that class and she is really shy so she may not do well on her own, Malaki was so bored because the lessons are targeted at the younger age so they will understand and if they do then we know the older ones will, i felt so bad but hoping we can make it more fun for him next sunday.

Hubby and i took Brooke shopping for shoes for school... a store here is selling off and things are so cheap

we got shoes for $8

24 orange juice for $3

a leopard print jacket for $8 

love it...  if i knew i was going to get a job soon i would have bought more but it is hard when i don't know when i will just yet.

After sunday night service which was so awesome,  we got pizza hut to go and came home and had pizza, got Brooke in bed and lunch ready for school tomorrow ( Joyful day, March break is over) 

Tomorrow (Monday) 

i have an interview that i am feeling very hopeful about, i appreciate some good luck vibes etc. It would be scheduling for a health organization,  excellent pay and i really want this job BAD! Seems like if i want it though, i don't get it, so i'm gonna hope and pray and cross all crossables.

Another hospital stay

Tuesday night at 1:15 am i got a flair up

The pain was unbearable by 1:45, i was screaming in pain 

Hubby took me to the ER and they took me straight back, didn't make me wait at all'

They immediately wanted to get rid of the pain 

They went thru a check up, checked me all over, my heart rate was very very high

my blood pressure was up again, so they wanted me to relax, not easy to do when your in so much pain.

They then did an internal exam ( nooooooo so much pain, this hurts) 

they gave me a shot of morphine and gravol then

Did nothing

Not A THINGS

Pain was still unbearable, on a scale of 1-10- it was a def 10.

They wanted another hour and came in for another shot of morphine

that did nothing

they then started an IV and got fluids into me, in case i needed to go for surgery

i was still in so much pain, they had no idea what else to give me, they just tried to keep me rested

but the pain was literally making me crazy, i was there alone, hubby had to be home with Brooke.  He did come in at 8:00 when we could get a sitter. they then took me down for an ultrasound and found out i have a cyst on my ovary ( that is not the cause of pain) 

It was also shift change and a new dr and new nurses, i got a mean nasty nurse, she wasn't very nice to me at all 

The male doctor was acting all dumb, like he had no idea how to treat me, although he did give me a new medication that i have never had before and it got rid of my pain though.

I slept Wednesday away, today I am finally feeling better, no pain but very tired.

Anyone here with an IUD and do you know if it causes IC because i was told several times that it does, i am doing some research now, let me know if you have any info for me

Cheers,
