Snow

     The weather here has been crazy the last couple of days filled with snow and wind. A LOT of snow.. just when it was almost gone. Though many complain about the weather I for one LOVE it! I do look forward to summer and not having to wear a big winter jacket but today I decided to just love what we have today. Snow and wind.

      So my afternoon consisted of me getting all bundled up and going outside into the minus 12 weather. I let our dogs loose to go for a good run. Our big dog Buddy had no problem going through the snow but our little west highland terrier Layla had a really hard time walking anywhere so I made her a path and she followed me everywhere because it was the only way she could get around.

     At one point I just laid in the snow and let the light snow flakes fall gently on my face. As I was laying there I just couldn't help but feel like it was the perfect place to be that very moment... I was nice and toasty warm in my big snow suit and yet I wasn't too hot because of the nice cool breeze. It was Bliss. I laid there for a bit and just took in God's creation.  It was so peaceful, so quiet, and very tranquil. At that moment I didn't have a care on my mind not a worry in my soul. I thank the Lord that he provides those moments, those precious moments where you don't have a care in the world. at that moment everything is perfect.

     I have been thinking a lot about heaven lately. If I think it is so beautiful here on earth, how much MORE stunning will it be in heaven? It's one of those things you can't even imagine until you are there. I can't wait to see what heaven has in store for me! To see the angels and to bow down before my lord and father and PRAISE him! It will indeed be a beautiful time. For now though I am very thankful for being here on earth and being able to spend time with those that I love, and to enjoy the beautiful creation God has given us on this earth.

      So as of today I have decided to enjoy those little moments God gives us and be as a little snow flake, light and carefree , realizing that no matter where I may fall I will always have my God to pick me up and lead me to where I am supposed to be.

It's been awhile...

I didn't realize how long it has been since my last blog.. Not that anyone reads it. That's not the point however.

So things that have been going on recently.

I have been working a lot and so has my hubby. We were thinking of maybe going on a european cruise this year but it doesn't look like that will be happening. So maybe a BC trip will have to suffice this year maybe, we shall see.

This week has been a bit rough... I have had a bad case of eczema for the past year or so my doctor thought  but since November I  have been  getting really bad rashes on my hands and they look so ugly. Yesterday it was the worst and so I went to the doctors. He sent me home... For a week... because I am allergic to SOMETHING. We're not sure what I'm allergic to but the doctor said I can't work with my hands the way they are. He said worst case scenario would be that I would have to quit my job.... I am praying that won't be the case. He has given me medications to stop the itching and swelling. It's just awful And while I am off I thought I would get some housework done... Guess what?! He said NO HOUSE WORK! I feel like he's being just a little mellow dramatic but He wants to figure out whats causing these terrible reactions. So I guess we'll see.

Keep you Posted.

Just Stuff.

Well... Christmas has come and gone and now we are ringing in the new year! How fast does time fly? Too fast sometimes...

Our Christmas was amazing! I had such an awesome time with my family and my husbands family. I have been so blessed to have in-laws that I  get along with so well. I have heard horror stories from some people of their in-laws hating them and trying to divorce them! But I am just like family because they treat me as if I were one of their sisters or daughter. It means so much to me because being a ways from my family and not being able to see them on a regular basis like I used to has been hard but my in-laws help me so much and they have taught me so much. I love them. So that's just one of the many blessings I have stumbled upon this christmas.

I don't know how everyone did it but I was blessed to get every single thing I wanted for christmas. Even things I wanted that I only THOUGHT of but never told to anyone. So I was pretty happy about that. Oh yes and all the food... DELICIOUS!


So today now that all the christmas festivities are over I have been really feeling tired.... I think it's all the late night gift openings that made me so tired and its just catching up to me now... I feel so unmotivated.. Like a truck with a flat tire... Knowing it has to go somewhere but is having to either pull over and change that flat tire... Or keep lagging on until finally reaching its destination... yep I must be tired if I am comparing how I feel to a vehicle! Anyways I am just going to down another double double and hope this caffein kicks in soon so I can get some stuff done before hubby gets home...

Happy New Year All!

Exam Results!

Alright so I decided to do my exam a day early and.... I passed! I got a B which makes me feel so happy! The only thing is that because I failed my Mid-Term I am hoping that B will take me to the end of this course. I have been trying to get a hold of my instructor to see when I will know if I passed my course or not and nothing.... So I am hoping they will let me know soon. But for now I am going to enjoy the rest of this holiday season Exam free! Woo Whoo! I am so happy about that.

Now I can just relax. Our tree is up, the house is clean, my baking is done,  the presents are wrapped and the christmas parties have been gone to. The last christmas party is tonight for our bowling league so it should be great! Only three more sleeps until christmas is here!  I am so excited :)

Merry Christmas Everyone and God Bless you this season and in the new year!

Today

So today has been an awesome day.

I went to work, Got everything I needed to get done there finished, Went grocery shopping and bought a whole bunch of groceries for little money ( Which is always a great feeling!) I must have managed to grab all the food that was on sale? I don't know but it made me happy. Then I came home got laundry folded, dishwasher emptied and clothes put away.

On Thursday I have a final exam that I am going to write... I am so NERVOUS! I flunked my mid term and am hoping that this time around i'll do good. So for the rest of today I am going to be studying like a mad woman, trying to get ready for this exam. This is my last exam forever (Hopefully) so if i'm hoping i will pass!

Anyways enough talk about exams.. It's time to stop talking about it and start doing it! I will post on Thursday to let you know what happens next!

Scrap Booking

So after a year and a half of marriage I have finally found some time to make our Wedding Scrapbook.
So far so good!

I have this passion for making things... Weather it be scrapbooks, Cards or other little crafts I love it! I especially love making scrap books because it's a time where I can go through pictures of the past and revisit some wonderful memories. It's "me" time.

This wedding scrap book especially brings back some beautiful memories. From the time Andrew proposed to the time we went to Jasper for our honeymoon I have all these special moments to go through. It's a look back on the most special day of our lives. And then it brings me to today and I keep thinking.... A year and a half ago I gave my life to my husband and today I am just as much in love with this man as the first time I laid eyes on him.  I am the happiest I have ever been and right here.. right now... I am so thankful and so blessed to be where I am now.

You see what a scrapbook can do? You go from just another day to having so many flash backs come back to you while you are going through these pictures that you can't help but feel blessed to be where you are now and the journey you took to get there.
