Friday's Confessionals
Today's topics Pet Peeves(Oh i could write a lot for this one)

1) People who leave the tiolet seat up
it seriously doesnt take any time to put it down when yo are down using it

2) Do not leave the tiolet paper roll empty- grrrr, dont dare take it out and leave it on the counter

3) Leaving covers of the tooth paste-

When we first got married these were things that drove me crazy.

different kind of Fever..

The more blogs i read with people talking about being pregnant or they just delivered, i feel that familiar feeling- i don't know if i would call it jealous but maybe it is

Hubby , we didn't want anymore kids, we had Brooke and we felt like our family is complete.
She turns 10 next month, how can my baby be 10.
We would have a babysitter and for sure she would be a big help to us.

For the past 2 years she has been asking for sibling, i feel so sad every time it is mentioned, because i really think i would give her a baby brother or sister.  I wish i could convince hubby it is ok and we need another kid, i really truly do want a baby

I loved the baby belly part, i love watching my belly grow, i loved the first flutter that sooner turn into strong kicks, i didn't enjoy the morning sickness or the aches and pains, but she was so worth it and i am so glad we got pregnant with her when we did because I am not sure we would have had a kid if we waited, but maybe i am wrong, but just after we found out I was pregnant- hubby lost his job, so that made preparing for a baby very tough, but we did it, everything worked out for us, he is in a very secure job right now( well as secure as jobs can be), I am in a secure job as well and i would love some Maternity leave.

This may sound wrong and feel like I'm going about it wrong but here is what i am doing

I am praying that if this is meant to be, it will happen, we will have another baby, yes i am on birth control ( IUD) so the chances are slim, but God can make it happen, he wont allow an IUD to stand in his way, I only want this if it is his will off course.
Maybe I'm just crazy to even think about having a baby now and going back to those new born days, and yes at times i think i am crazy to, but i cant get the feeling to leave me alone.

I don't want to keep bugging my hubby, because his pet peeve is when people nag him, so i don't want to do that, but i want a baby.

So what would you do? Am i going about this wrong and praying about it, he did say to cast all your care upon him for he cares for you, that means what things would make me happy, he cares about them.

I'd like some advice because if this happened i wouldn't want it to put a wedge in my marriage, maybe I shouldn't even post this, because i am not that evil, malicious person who would want to reek havoc on my marriage.

I appreciate some advice :)

Wednesdays for Women- to uplift and encourage

I have had this on  my mind for the past while and finally i need to get it out there in hopes of helping someone..

It is referred to often as
~the silent killer
~just being crazy
~ living in fear

to me it isnt just being crazy.
To me it is the silent killer, the way you let your mind allow you to live in fear of the unknown, get really stressed, have numbness come into your face etc..

It is the type of disease that leaves your doctors not wanting to diagnose you as " depressed or anxious"- they try to stay away from that, unless you bring it up first to them, it is their job after all, but it is almost like they are to ashamed of you to even admit that your dealing with anxiety...
then off course it is the trial and error with medication, which usually takes several months because most don't even work until you have "tried" for 6 weeks.

I live in fear so much, when we get in the car to drive down the road, i am always on "edge" meaning i am terrified that my hubby will fall asleep, or another vehicle will hit us....my hubby has never fallen asleep with us in the car but i have that fear.

I am fearful that he isn gonna get into a car accident and i wont get to be held by him again...
I am fearful that Brooke will drown in the swimming pool ( she always has an adult)
I am fearful of our house catching on fire
I am fearful of not being "good enough" and losing

am i the only one who deals with this, sometimes it is suffocating, it is exhausting and i wish it could go away... I have tried all kinds of medication and so far no permeant change.

It is very hard to deal with fear

Weekend Recap

Friday: Our last day in the classroom at work, we begin hands on Monday- i'm very very nervous. 

I was supposed to have treatment today but my orders didn't get back to him in time- when i saw him on wednesday he told me i need 6 more treatments, then if no change i will be losing my bladder, I appreciate the prayers. I decided after the week i had i needed some retail therapy, i found myself two cute summer shirts... 

Today at 2 pm- was my cousin's service, My mom told me it was so beautiful just like she would have wanted it to be. It helps to know she is in heaven and not in pain anymore. I really miss her though.

Brooke went to her friends house for the night, so we hung out at home, i watched Pitch Perfect and went to bed early. 

Saturday: I was up just after 11 am, because I needed to get Moses to work( he is the student who lives with us, not sure if i mentioned him before) hubby and i hung out alone, we got some groceries, then we stopped by a little hot dog stand and had a mini picnic lunch, I love that man so much. 

Came home and made lemon pies for our company that were coming for dinner. 

We made grilled pork chops, sausage, taco salad and corn on the cob...it was divine and the friendship was great as well. 

I watched the hockey game and i watched Bruins get beaten by the Black hawks- I dont' know how i feel about the game yet... :p while watching the game my awesome friend Samara called me, it was so nice to talk to her

Sunday:

At midnight the pain hit me- the all to familiar pain hit me

I had to go to the ER because i didn't have any pain meds left, they got me in pretty quickly and then they got my pain under control and sent me home at 5 am, i didn't sleep much, i was up for church at 9 am, then came home and slept til 4 pm, had church again, then my sister and her family came over

for pizza, was nice to see them again, we don't get much time together lately. 

Well that does it for me, tomorrow is when we start hands on, i am nervous, scared and excited. 

Have a great week

There are no regrets in life, only Lessons...

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be – a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger – but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say.

Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make anything you wish of your life. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

And if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.

Learn a lesson in life each day that you live!

Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.

Think About it? Was it worth it?

Tribute

My heart is defently broke knowing that because of prior commitments i am unable to be there today, i know Marcie is looking down and saying don't cry for me, i have my miracle that she always longed for. My heart is there with you and you are all in my prayers in the coming days,weeks and months.  

As a relative she was my cousin. In reality she was more like a sister. All through out both of our lives…she was my best friend. As again cancer has claimed another relative of mine. Now all we can do is accept the facts and say, she will suffer no more and, Marcie has gone to a much better place.

For those of you that knew Marcie I am sure there are many special moments that now enter your mind as you think of how glorious each day was that you had the pleasure of sharing her company. She was a very special person that always had a smile on her face accompanied by her cheerful laugh that would always make anyones day much better. For me its much more than that. 

As first cousins we were close. We grew up together, played together, spent the night at each others house together and went to the same church. I can remember many things we did together, from when we were kids to present day. When we were young we read together or we did crafting together. ” Memories, Thats what life's all about as we share them with the ones we love. 

I can just picture Marcie running around in heaven as now she has new legs, no cancer and pain free, she wouldn't want us to be sad because she is gone, she told me she would get her miracle either here on earth or in heaven, it hurts to know she has left this world, but its exciting to know she has her Miracle, she waited her whole life for the day she could walk without her braces and her crutches. 

Remembering others as they pass on to those pearly gates above. ” 

I love you all . 

Rest in Peace my angel

Heaven got another Angel today

Marcie got her wings today and she flew home to heaven..

We miss her so much here on Earth but she is walking with the angels, she has new legs and a new body, she no longer has spinal bifida, no more cancer. 

We will miss her here but heaven is sweeter with her there. 

I love you my sweet angel, go rest with Jesus <3

WEEKEND RECAP

Friday:
My voice was back when i woke up, it was quiet for a day and a bit while i had no voice- ha ha. The doctor diagnosed me with strep throat and a sinus infection, now I'm on meds and def feeling better.
Friday was a pretty laid back day at work and we finally felt like we weren't over come with information, one more week left in the classroom and then we have 2 weeks with Abay- which means we are taking phone calls but we have a lot of floor support, i hope i can do this , right now i am not so confident... i feel i don't know anything, but i am sure after being on the phones it will come to me again...
I had my 6th Treatment at 3 pm- MY LAST ONE at least for a while...
It was one of the easiest i have had so far..
I came home and took a nap because it always leaves me exhausted.
at 7 pm, we had to go look at a house we were offered to take care of for friends of friends... I fell in love, it is gorgeous.... has a big pool out back, a jacuzzi bath room, we took it off course, it feels like truly a blessing from God. It is cheaper then the mini home and much more room and  cuter.
I was feeling under the weather, i was in bed before 9 pm..

Saturday: I slept in a little bit, then my mother called me at 11 am and told me my Poppa was being rushed to the hospital via ambulance, his heart rate was very high and he wasn't feeling the greatest, this man never gets sick and would never go to the hospital via ambulance if he could do other wise, so we knew he must be sick when they took him, then i also found out my cousin ( Marcie- with cancer) is in the hospital as well, she is so sick and in much pain, we need a miracle in her life. After all that bad news, i tried to decide if i wanted to go home to Newfoundland or wait and see what happens, i decided i would wait and see what happens.
Brooke and i went Yard Sailing- we didn't buy much, just a board game, then i had an apt at 2 pm to learn about  my new iPhone- it was so helpful, i am so glad i took it.
While there i went and got a Coconut Creme Frappe- so delicious, would recommend it for a good cool drink

I browsed around Bit at the mall while i waited to be picked up, ran into one of the girls from work and chatted a bit, love her so much.
We came home and put groceries away- i hate that chore... then i popped on line for a few mins, we went to visit my sister for dinner, it was so much fun, i haven't seen her since my parents were here, such a long time ago it felt like, she had other friends over as well and we had a lot of fun. I didnt take any pictures though.
Brooke did have a mini photo shoot this weekend- my baby is almost 10!!!!!!!!!

I need to desperately loose weight.... hate how i look
Once we got back from my sisters we hung out and watched the hockey game while i did some laundry.

Sunday: Happy Fathers Day to the most amazing Men in my life-
My Husband, my Dad and my father in law, off course my Bro in laws are pretty awesome as well.
We had Sunday school where we had pretty decorative coffee cups for the Dad's, the kids were able to write on them, it was so cute, then we filled them with chocolate bars and other types of chocolate, it is hard to buy for men, but they all enjoyed that.
The church gave all the men, BBQ sauce- perfect for my hubby because  he is a pretty avid bbq'er and it will be put to good use for sure.
he had requested steak, eggs and bacon for lunch, so that's what we did, i hate going out to eat on popular occasions because every place is crowded and filled and the line ups are soooo long..
So we stayed home and it was a tasty meal.
I napped and i was supposed to be going for a driving test and i slept and missed it, oppps ( NOPE I DON'T DRIVE), had sunday evening service and wow, what a powerful one it was, we had 3 healing's and 2 filled with the holy spirit , God is up to good things here.

This is my last week in the classroom, i write my final exam on Wednesday, very very nervous, i accept all good luck :)

Have a great week

Fathers Day

First of all :

My husband is the most amazing Daddy in the whole world... 

They have an incredible relationship, they say Girls are "Daddy's Girls" that is very true 

A true father is always there. 

He is there to spill tears of happiness when his eyes fall upon his infant daughter. 

He is there with arms to catch her when she takes her first steps or stumbles. 

He is there to teach her at the youngest age, even though she might not understand half of it. 

He is there to help her color inside the lines, make her grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, and tie her shoes. 

He is there to hug her and kiss her on her first days of school, and to walk her in if need be. 

He is there to teach her and tease her and laugh with her. 

He is always there to embarrass her, but that's part of life. 

He is there to tell her to go ask her mother, when her mother told her to ask him. 

He is there to lecture her, prepare her for the monster called high school. 

He is there to put up with her teenage moods and her relationships. 

He is there to approve, disapprove, accept and forgive. He is there to give her a big bundle of flowers when she graduates, to smile when her name is called and feel proud. 

He is there to embrace her and kiss her before she goes to live and learn a thousand miles away. 

He is there to see her become a working woman, to walk her down the aisle (or not, if her independence and stubbornness prevail after all). 

He is there to watch her grow as the lines on his face grow. 

He is there to welcome her home, always, and let her hug him and smell the smell she remembers from childhood, the warm, protecting, comforting smell of dad. 

But most of all, he is always there to love her. And she is always there to love him back.We love you, Happy Fathers Day.

Happy Fathers Day to the most amazing Daddy in the whole world-

During those crazy teenage years, I must have been every parent’s nightmare!!!! It’s no use trying to fool you, but I was one of those hardheaded girls who thought that she knew everything there was to know about life, as do most teenagers. 

My dad worked hard to support us and to provide us with only the best in life. If we wanted something he would do his best to try and get it for us. Basically, he did what most parents try to do and that is to provide their child with their heart’s desire.

Not only did my Dad provide a stable “material” background for us to grow up in but he and of course my Mom provided us with the absolute ideal environment in which to thrive – a stable home-life. For this I am truly grateful. In fact, I don’t recall a moment in my life when I ever heard my parents fighting. This loving stable home set me on the path to providing me with the tools I have today, in order to deal with whatever life throws my way in so far as my own family is concerned.

They always made sure we had food, clothes and fresh air to breathe, they made sure we were taken care of before they were. Christmas time would come and we would have presents and it didn't matter if they didn't.  When i moved out of my home, every night Dad would call to make sure i was home before he would go to bed, he also kept that up our first year of marriage, then finally I told him it wasn't necessary, then the day we told him he would be a grandpa, the tears ran down his cheeks, Brooke makes him smile, they have a fun relationship. 

Thanks Dad for being the Dad that you didn't have to be

Wednesdays for Women

Wednesdays are for Women ( to encourage and uplift)

Today's Topic

I can do all things through Christ Who gives me Strength

That don't mean some things, or if i feel like it
It means I can Do ALL things if i let Christ be the center of my life.

That means i can do anything that i want
I can become a writer
i can be a full time blogger
I can finish my book and have it published

I can do all things thru Christ because he gives me strength.
He can and will help us if we ASK him and not go against what he wants us to do

THis verse has been on my mind all day and i hope you let him give you the strength you need today

Wednesdays 4 Women

Wednesdays are for Women ( to uplift and encourage) 

Take a look at your life.  

How would you describe it? Contented? Rushed? Exciting? Stressful? Moving forward? Holding back? For many of us it’s all of the above at times.  There are things we dream of doing one day, there are things we wish we could forget.  In the Bible, it says that Jesus came to make all things new. 

 What would your life look like if you could start over with a clean slate?

Living with hope If you are looking for peace, there is a way to balance your life. No one can be perfect, or have a perfect life. But every one of us has the opportunity to experience perfect grace through a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. Praying is simply talking to God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. 

Happy Birthday to the greatest friend ever.

Our friendship started back in Grade 7 when we decided to be locker partners, from that day forward we were inseparable, we laughed together, we cried together, we had heart to heart talks
You have been there thru the smiles, the tears, the scary times, the times when i should have been paying attention to Mr Harvey's Biology class, yet we were passing notes back and forth about silly things,(black, sack, betty crocker, polar bears etc) {only you will get this :p} he would always catch us though, you and I- we were never apart.

I hope this day is the Best Birthday you ever had. I love you. Thank you for always being you, for always making me feel special, for making me laugh and smile.
For showing me a Godly example, for keeping me "in line", you are the greatest friend and no matter where we may end up, our friendship will never change.

I wish we could celebrate with each other, but that is impossible right now, please know how much i love you. You are my best friend as long as i live. <3

Happy Birthday my Beautiful friend.

Weekend Recap

Friday: Had another test at work, 95% again... 

we also had a free BBQ, they hot dogs, hamburgers, veggies, chips and pop, it was delicious. 

I had treatment number 5 at 3, i managed to get a ride home with a friend who works at the hospital, better then taking a cab( i don't drive), we went to get Brooke and she brought us home, Brooke and i decided we would go to the mall for dinner and to do a little shopping, i also needed to switch my phone to hubby's old blackberry, but while there they were showing me some phones and how cheaply i can move up to a iPhone, so this weekend i became the owner of this bad boy 

i thought it was gonna be very difficult after using a blackberry but it isn't hard at all, i think i'm in love with it, so much you can do and play with on there. I stayed up far to late playing with it as well, talked to my hubby who was still away and finally fell asleep.

Saturday:  had to be at a hotel here in town for 9:30 am- we were having a prayer time there because Sunday night something exciting is happening( will share), so we prayed for an hour, then we went to market to pass out invitations for Sunday Night, we got back home just before 1 pm, at 1:15 our Daddy came home, Brooke was so excited, time flew while he was gone though, i kept super busy. I really missed him though. i took a nap around 2 pm, and i woke just before 5, with chills, sore throat etc, i was feeling gross...we had some company stop in for a bit, i went back to bed when they left around 7, and slept til 8 am sunday morning, i woke up feeling fine.

Sunday: Sunday school, we had a fun time there.
We have to soon start working on our Fruit of the Spirit theme- it is going to be so much fun.
Came home, ate lunch, took a hour nap with hubby and then we had to go get groceries, i hate grocery shopping.
Had to leave by 4:30 to help set up for our Gospel Concert Giveaway-  it began at 6:30 and wow, what an amazing time we had, we gave away bicycles, gift cards, decor stuff, toys etc, we had a great turn out.

Here are some pictures of my pretty girl

OH my heart

Even though we have been married for 12 years, together for 15 years, i miss him so much when he travels..
This week he is travelling back to Newfoundland, meaning he gets to see all our friends and family there.. so not fair :p
He gets to see these little people:

my heart is there with him.

I have some projects that i wanted to get done while he was gone.. i wanted to get the guest room tidied up and quit throwing everything everywhere in there- i have completed that

I also have to work late tomorrow night, and not sure what i am doing after, Brooke will be staying with her sitter for the night because she is awesome like that, so i don't have to figure out how to get home and get her etc.

It seems the ants decided to come out while he has been gone, i am terrified of little ants, so me having to deal with this isn't going so well.... freaks me out to see the ants so close to my bed etc... i don't think ill sleep tonight

Wednesdays for Women

Wednesdays are for Women ( to encourage and uplift) 

Today's Topic  Wait for the Lord and he will give you strength Isaiah 40:31 Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.  2 Timothy 2:20-22   I would suspect that deep in every person's heart here there is a desire that God might use him. That is a normal and a proper desire.  There is no thrill like the thrill of being used of God. There is nothing that remotely approaches, in terms of excitement, satisfaction and fulfillment, the consciousness that one has been the instrument in the hands of the Almighty to do some of his work -- to change the direction of someone's life, perhaps, to prevent an injury, to resolve an argument, to answer a challenge, to heal a weakness, to rebuke a ruler, or to turn a nation. I have seen men of high achievement in the world tremble with a sense of awe as they realized that on a given occasion they were the instrument of God's working. I can tell you from personal experience that is something that is without compare in this life. It can happen anywhere, anytime. God works in wonderful ways, not always in very dramatic ways, but in ways we do not anticipate. It can happen to anybody. Being used of God is not confined to pastors, preachers or teachers. Anybody can be an instrument in God's hands. As long as we are willing vessels, God will use us to do hiw WILL- we cannot force our will in to our lives or it will never work, we need his divine will

Weekend Recap

Work til 2:15, i had an exam, which i got 95% on, i should have gotten 100% as far as i am concerned, but i don't make the decision... 

My friend Amy dropped me off at the hospital for  my treatment so hubby didn't have to miss more time at work, they don't mind but i don't like him missing to much time for me, besides Amy was going that way so she didn't mind. 

I was again put with an amazing nurse, they are all so amazing here and for that i am very thankful. We need to be appreciative of our health care especially here in Canada where it is free. Hubby picked me up after the treatment and i needed to mail my Cara Box( yeah I'm late), also picked up some meat for a BBQ, it was way to warm to cook dinner in side, so hubby grilled while i slept the pain off because this one had to be the most pain yet.  , this picture is of me putting a good side out and remaining positive while in a lot of pain...

I then ate with the family and cleaned the kitchen- when men cook, they make a big mess...but I'm thankful he cooks and does a really good job of it. I watched "Like Dandelion Dust", wow, wow, wow, if you are a mom who adopted a child, you need to watch this, if you are the mom of a child that was adopted, this movie is for you, so powerful and make sure you keep Kleenex near by, because you will need it. 

could not sleep til 5 am, it was so warm and i guess it was the heat that kept me awake, i was not a happy camper. 

 The Final quizzing tournament of the summer, i am so glad that no more early mornings on Saturday for a tournament, but if there was it would be ok. 

all the winners, my girl got 3 trophies today, so very proud of her indeed. Well earned and deserved, she worked hard for this. 

After quizzing was over we went to visit some old friends, she was our bridesmaid, now she is married with 3 kids, we thought we were out there so why not go visit, 

She has a little boy with Down Syndrome, i immediately fell in love with him, he sat with me and i had to feed him etc, such a cutie. 

Her girls Harmony and Mackenzie. Those girls love Brooke as well. I am so glad she is such a likeable girl. 

We stayed and ate pizza and wings with them, we drank tea, we chatted, we laughed and had a great time. 

On the way home we saw this 

Mr Moose.. i am glad he was off the road and didn't bother coming closer ( Thank you Jesus) 

When we were almost home, we heard news that a tornado had possible touched down, 2 hours from where we were, Much to close for comfort, i found some pictures that people had posted on Facebook

We NEVER get Torndao's here and i hope we never do again. 

We also got delayed in traffic because of a vehicle accident , it looked so bad, i hope no one was seriously injured. 

Sunday School- my assitant teacher was gone, so i got one of the youth kids to help me. 

We came home from service and i made roast beef, mashed potatoes, corn and yorkshire pudding with gravy- Delicious. 

I then took a big nap and my hubby got groceries for me, i am so pooped from not sleeping well and sunday school always beats me out. 

Tomorrow is Monday again.... how fast the weekends go.Have a great week my friends
