So I set up my Christmas tree on Sunday (I will post pictures of that later). I enjoyed every minute of it. My husband actually volunteered to put Christmas music on so it would be more festive for me. The favorite part of all this is not only spending time with my husband but also opening one special box. In this box is tacky little ornaments. But they are special. 95% o them were made by Curtis' Great-Grandma. They consist of many crocheted items dipped in wax to make them firm. Little angels, fans, teddy bears glued to washboards, you get the picture. But without theses decorations, it would not be OUR tree. And I love OUR tree.... tackiness and all.
I have been to curves a total of 5 times since I got the membership. How sad is that. I once again make excuses for myself that I just dont have the time. Yet months ago I was challenged by a personal trainer friend of mine that she knows people who work 50 hrs a week and still have time for the gym so I have no excuse. So rewind, I dont go to the gym because I am lazy! But I have been eating better and am getting more inspired to go to the gym as I had to do my belt up one notch skinnier which is always encouraging.
I am super excited for my 3rd Annual Christmas Extravaganze is a party that I traditionally now do for all of my friends since I do not see a lot of them through the Christmas season. THis year we are doing a "bring an appetizer/dessert and a christmas item to exchange" thing. I am excited. Lot less work and a lot less clean up for me and Curtis.
Anyways, other than that nothing else is new. We are dog-sitting right now. Some moments it makes Curtis was a dog, others it does not. I want a dog. PPPLLLEEASSSE Hunny.... his reply... silence.

So... I have been going to Curves for the last week. ITs alright. Not exactly what I would chose for a gym due to the lack of options but its definitely a routine kind of place. A lot of ladies need to learn what a sports bra is. There is nothing like seeing an oversized woman's breasts flopping around everywhere. It is somewhat revolting actually. I have been going with my friend Patti who lives upstairs. She is awesome to go with. Although the 6:30 am thing has a little to be desired.
Been looking at houses online. Kinda fun. Find a few I like and then they sell or get taken off the market. It is kind of sad when that happens. My dream, and I dont care what anything else really looks like, is to have a nice kitchen with an island. Always wanted an island in my kitchen. The place we are renting now would have been perfect for one. I want my kitchen bright and sunny.
I guess I do care what other things look like as well. I am lying. I want a nice sized bedroom where all our stuff can fit in the bedroom and not have to put something in the living room. Im tired of being squished and always bruising my leg on the footboard of our bed. UGH!
AndI would like to have somewhat of a back yard. One where one day when we have kids they can run and play all in the safety and comfort of their back yard.
I want a living room that is cozy and inviting. The kind of place where you just want to snuggle under a blanket by the fire with a hot chocolate.
Then Curtis wants his "media" room. Basically a place where he can blare music without anyone getting mad... what he doesnt realize is I probably still would be made if I came home to a house with blaring music. Can't stand it.
Anyways, I really did not have much to say. I live a pretty boring repetative life.... work... sleep... eat....work....sleep....eat.....pull my hair out.... work.... sleep...zzzzzzz

Could today be the day?
For what? You may ask.
I just feel like today could be a transitioning kind of day. The one that makes you feel more positive and more joyful and happy to be where you are at but happy to make changes.
I need to make a massive decision about moving.... it would not be until May or June but I do have to make the decision. I wrote about it before and am completely unsure as to what I should do. Could I be a school counsellor? Would it be worth moving to cold winters for? So I start praying..... but do it selfishly. God, this is what I want... not God what do you want. So I begin again. And now I wait for answers.
It was a tough week last week. A friend passed away from bacterial meningitis. Something I can not understand that would take a young life at the age of 22. So much going for her. Yet God chose her. Not me, not a 100 year old woman, her. But as someone wise said "When we can't understand God's hand, we trust His heart." Later on in the week we find out Curtis' cousin Joseph has a brain tumour the size of an orange. Found it out after he got in an accident and thought he was fine but he got taken to the hospital where they found it. PRAY! He is a 23 year old, who does not know the Lord. Greater things are yet to come....
So... each morning CHOOSE JOY. You never know what might come of it.

Ok so today my pet peeve is dental hygenists. I went to the dentist today to get my bi-yearly cleaning and i hear "your gums are bleeding do you floss" and I really feel like replying "my gums are bleeding because you just stabbed them really hard with a sharp pointy thing.... let me try it on you and see if your gums would bleed".
So I do try to floss as much as possible but here is the problem.... I have a very little mouth. The dentist knows me as the girl with the little mouth and makes fun of me for it (I know him on a personal level because of church). Sticking my hands in my mouth and then trying to move floss between my tightly placed together teeth can be painful. So the hygenist gave me new floss to try out. We will see how that goes.
Other than that, Curtis and me are doing great. Thinking about a possible move more eastwardly to be near his family which is always on his mind. Me, maybe not so much. But I am doing my best to be a good, respectful, and obedient wife which does not come naturally to me. So I have found a few houses I would like but not sure. Seems like a large commitment to make... to just go and buy a house. I guess I need a job there first.
I am in a wedding on the 11th of October and not feeling too good about it. My goal was to lose 30 lbs before the wedding. Lost 5. Just 5. I am too much of a stress eater. I asked my cousin how she got so thin for her wedding, helps being on your feet but have stomach problems continuously and that helps. I secretly wish for stomach problems so I dont have the urge to eat so much. But I am doing my best to do it the healthy way and the weather has not been cooperating that much to go out for a walk.
On another note....
My friend had her baby. My friend from Kamloops... had her a month ago. Beautiful little girl. Unfortunately there were complications like infection on the c-section area and then a cyst and they she got pneumonia from it being spread in the hospital or something like that. She is still on IV periodically to help get rid of the infection that spread into other areas. So one month later she can bond with her daughter.... and move into a new house all in the same week.
On yet another note.... fall is here. My favorite season! I love sweaters and blankets and beautifully colored leaves. Can't wait to go on more walks in the evenings... I really hope it doesnt rain for a while.
Thas all for now. Will post more soon. I have been such a bad poster.

I have friends who have lost the person they were meant to love supposedly for the rest of their life. Yet, I still am able to sit beside the love of my life, care for him, love him, experience life with him. Others have had that taken away.
I have never really got why God chooses certain paths for some that are so emotionally screwed up and yet my life has been pretty good. The only person I have ever lost in my life is my grandfather and he was well somewhat old. But I have never had to exerience too much of a personal loss. I have had friends pass away and one commit suicide but most of them had been casual friends, not in my close "friends circle".
At the church I work at, I just organized a funeral last saturday for a woman in her 60s who struggled with depression all of her life, and eventually took her own life. To see the family, so overcome with grief, was overwhelming for me. Some people cried silent tears but one daughter sobbed and wailed... like you usually see in the movies. But this time it was not an act, it was someone's true grief for the loss of their mother.
I am at a loss for words to say to people who experience such grief. I get that knot that feels like its rising up your chest and eventually will be that lump in your throat..... all I can say is "im praying for you". I feel like such a loser. Such a typical christian thing to say. That is not really what they want to hear. They dont want to hear "im sorry for your loss" when really I have no idea who these people are or were. Am I really sorry, well I feel bad for them but I think sorry is the wrong word.
So what do you say that doesnt sound stupid to the people experiences this loss? I think I just have to come to grips with the "im praying for you" thing because there is really nothing else I can say. I will not, most likely, be the person that impacts them in a positive way because I have to ask all the annoying quetions for funeral/memorial details.
My heart aches just thinking about the potential loss I could experience. I look above my computer screen at work and see wedding photos will a lot of the people I truly care about and dont think I could handle losing.... my family, my best friends, the love of my life. I sometimes have nightmares about my husband dying and the funeral following, maybe its because I have arranged 6 funerals in 2 months at my job. But I wake up absolutely frightened. I remember one night I must have only been sleeping for an hour and woke up and my husband wasnt there and I freaked. Only to realize he would not be home from work yet. Loss is something I do not want to experience but I know one day I will, not necessarily my husband but someone. What will I want people to say to me then? Will I really care what they say? Will I remember what they say? Will I even listen?

Oops
So totally deleted my last post by accident after I was half through writing it.
1. Survived vaca with the mother in law with only personally inflicted injuries caused by mis-stepping off a slippery dock. Will post pictures of that injury later.
2. Brother in law graduated making me feel old that i graduated 8 years ago already.
Here is a pic of the fam. (Dad, me looking like a complete dork, Curtis, Deryk, Jesse, Jessica (Jesse's girlfirend) Curtis' mom)
3. Sister is out for a visit right now. She recently received a position at my church as an administrative assistance to the pastor of prayer and discipleship. It will be cool to have her around as not many family members are near by that actually visit.
4. Tonight Kim and me are going to see Spamalot. I am pretty excited about that. I like plays especially ones that can potentially make you laugh like crazy. Yeay!
5. One of my core group girls got baptised on Sunday. I am so proud of her! Grown from a girl to a beautiful young lady in Christ. Very cool!
6. I will be honest about one thing, I have a friend. I dont see her as she lives far away. She is frustrating me. She lives a "secular" style life with going to the bars and getting drunk, sleeping with men she barely knows, and other things. She turns around about every 3 months and says how she has decided to turn her life around and makes up a sob story about what people have done to her (not what she has done to herself like it really is) and how she is going to use that for God and reach young woman who may be going through the same things she did. While that is an awesome idea, I am tired of reading about this stuff and her not following through. She still continues to go to bars... does that really make her situation that much better to be a role model, I dont think so.
7. I have two friends who are pregnant, one who is ready to pop at any minute. She has to be one of the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen! So gorgeous! Here are a few pics from maternity photos they got done.
Thats about it for my life right now... fun fun

Its Almost My Birthday
Tomorrow I turn 26. Pretty crazy, eh? I have opened almost all of my presents already as my husband can't be patient enough and kept on asking me if he can give me my present. So I finally said yes, mainly because he was sad when his dad and brother and cousin left this morning.
He got me a silved ipod nano. I have wanted one for a while as I like having music when I go to the gym. Althought, I have not been to the gym in a while with all the funerals that I have been arranging. I am pretty happy about my gift.
Mom and Dad and sister got me a bread maker which i am excited about especially since the cost of bread is going up and up. I like the idea of fresh bread in the morning. Yummy!
I am having some friends over tonight for a bbq as I have to work tomorrow and all that. Should be fun. Just really casual eating food and hanging out. Maybe I will make myself a cake :)

Random picture of me and a cute little girl named Jazira. She was an orphan in Africa and told Marina a story about how she dropped the water she was carrying on her head once because a giraffe ran by her. She hides chicken bones because she is scared that one day she wont have anything to eat. I have a big heart for this girl!
So tonight was our last night of youth for the summer. Sometimes its hard saying goodbye to the kids and they will be going off to high school so you have to leave them in God's hands as they do not have Christian parents and are already not hanging out with the best crowd. There is one girl in particular that I know I will pray for constantly. I just hope she gets the emotional help she needs before she makes a lot of massive mistakes.... which unfortunately I can see her making.
Curtis' dad gets here on Thursday. I am a little nervous but I am really hoping that it will be a good opportunity to strengthen my relationship with him so it makes it a little easier when we go there in two weeks. We will see. I am not really expecting him to invest time in me but I have to prepare myself emotionally with that.
So I will have Tuesday nights free for the next little while which will give Curtis and me a good break. Maybe we will make it movie night or something, i dont know :)
I have one more funeral on Tuesday and it is going to be a HUGE one. I am so stressed out that I feel like puking all the time. They are expecting MANY people. They actually announced the location of the funeral now on CTV/Global news. Kinda scares me. So pray for strength, patience, and that everything would run smoothly. I am truly frightened!

ME and Curtis decided to take a random trip to Canadian Tire the other day to see if they have our chairs from last year in stock for the summer. NO SUCH LUCK! There will be no matching chairs at our outdoor table.... oh well.
Randomly he wants to see how much he weighs so he sets on an adventure to find a weight scale. So we did and then he tells me to weigh myself. Not such a good idea. Only to find I had gained weight. What is the point of eating healthy if it doesnt help. Gym, you suck! You are by my work and well you do not motivate me.
Ordered a dress for Erin's wedding only to have to order a size 18. The lady was quite amused at my rantings about how i hate bridal stores as they make you feel fatter than you really are. She said they are about 4-6 sizes smaller than you would actually wear in a normal store. With that I sit happily at my size 14 trying to cram myself into a size 10 sample. Who only carries small samples? Oh well. It is order, and going to be altered... hopefully for the better.

Wow, what a crazy week it has been so far! I have put in 8 hrs overtime in two days and we still have a lot to do. A lady passed away, did her husbands funeral about 3 months ago. So that keeps me busy. Then our color printer broke down so I have to rush it to the printers only to have one of the Pastors say call the family and see if they have a color printer. How friggin insensitive! Ok then I have to do two evenings of membership interviews which just is going to make me go over the edge.
Although I did get pulled into a meeting today to say they are revamping a whole bunch of things and some things MAY get taken off my plate. But it would take a while to get there. So I am sorta excited. WE will see what happens.
Curtis got back on Monday from going to Edmonton YC. It is good to have him home. Seems weird since I was happy he would be gone for 4 days but it was kinda lonely without him. I know, I do not make much sense.
So I went to a wedding this weekend of my friend Juanita. I am so happy for her. If you have my facebook you can see pictures. Anyways, got asked three times if I was pregnant. Time to really start dieting.
UGH!

Baby and More
So the baby was born on May 4th. Beautiful baby girl Gabriella Katrina 9lbs 9oz. The health nurse came and visited the other day and Gabriella had lost too much weight so they put Patti on meds to hopefully bring her milk in stronger. Poor little girl. Their life saving purchase, a baby swing!!
She is a cute little thing. I look like crap in the pic though. Thats after hours of spending time driving back and forth to visit Patti to keep her company and take care of their dog.
Speaking of all that, I now have subs for my car! In appreciation for all the Curtis and me did for them they gave me the subs from the back of Jim's car. Worth over $600! All I had to do was purchase a wiring kit for my car which was only $70. So now I will have some bass in my car! Went from nothing at all to hopefully awesome. Curtis is doing the install today!
Speaking of Curtis, his uncle Ronnie passed away yesterday after a very courageous battle with cancer. They were putting him into a coma so he would not have to suffer from the pain and it killed him. It is a blessing disguise. No longer in pain.
The funeral is held tomorrow so none of us can go. Family giving us a little grief but with work and everything else it just is not working. My friend Karen from the Queen Charlottes will be here on Friday and I only get to see her about once a year so I am looking forward to that. I have to work on Saturday all day but seeing Karen on Friday makes it worth it. Should be a fun evening of shopping and dinner and of course lots of laughter.
Curtis is still enjoying all of his internship work.
I still like work.
The End.

WOW BABY
Ok so my friend Patti has now been induced for the fourth time and given oxytocin(?). Poor girl is still only dialated to 1cm. How long with it take for Bjerke to give her a c-section? I guess we will find out today. 15 days overdue and counting! Stubborn little thing, I think.
My friends dad made it ok out of surgery but will have a lot of re-cooperating to do . Became a Christian through it all which was pretty darn awesome!
Today Curtis will start his ministry at the prison which is pretty exciting. The man he will be working under says he believes this will lead to great things for Curtis which is super awesome. Curtis has a hard time believing in himself and what he can do, especially with the one almost blind eye which limits his possibilities out there.
So today also means it starts my 4 day streak without seeing him! Oh dear. What will I do with my time? Cant go shopping because I already bought shorts. Maybe I will go and visit someone. Who knows.... any creative ideas for those that are poor?

The Summer Adventures Begin
Current Weather: Gloomy
Personal Mood: ARRRRRGHHHHH
Ok so I am not going anywhere for a while..... in fact not till the end of June. But shorts shopping has begun! I HATE SHORT SHOPPING! I am not a hussy and want short booty shorts! I want nice knee length shorts that look pretty that can fit my butt and thighs into them! Not these tiny legged big wasted things that make me look like a pear or I dont know some oddly shaped fruit.
MY NEW BEST FRIEND:
THe Medona? line from Target. Cute shorts. Nice fit.... and far from being booty shorts. I am so excited about this purchase. I am not excited about being the size they were but hey I will do anything for something that is cheap that fits properly. I got a pair of shorts that are pink brown and blue plaid and are so cute and then a pair of gray capris. So cute!
So tonight, I will go on another shopping adventure to find more shorts.
Prayer Items:
-My people from upstairs, she is 10 days overdue with their first child. Getting uncomfy so pray for a quick and safe delivery soon!
-A friend of mine's father broke his kneck and is getting emergency surgery tonight. Drs are surprised that he is not either a quadrapelegic right now or even dead.
Have a good week!

Another Day
Im sitting here bored at work trying to find something to do. So I thought, why not do another blog about nothing. Since the last one was pretty much nothing.
Curtis finished his last exam this year just now. He just walked in the door at home and I called him. He seemed somewhat excited but at the same time knowing he has to do an internship this summer, he feels as though school won't end. I just encourage him and say that everything will be okay and he will get some time to relax and have fun. After all, we are taking two weeks vacation in August.
Tomorrow is the dreaded Grad Banquet where I have to dress up and do my hair. Depressing fact #1 there is only one dress in my closet that still fits me..... depressing fact #2 the dress that fits is nice but there is this seeminly little bulge called my fatty hips... depressing fact #3 spanx cost a lot of money.... depressing fact #4 I have to do my hair and have no idea what to do with this weird length that I am at..... depressing fact #5 my feet are too swollen to wear nice shoes.
Exciting fact #1 I still fit into one dress in my closet! Exiting fact #2 My best friend is graduating from college! Exciting fact #3 I get to buy some new MAC! Exiting fact #4 New shoes...enough said!
Curtis finished his last exam this year just now. He just walked in the door at home and I called him. He seemed somewhat excited but at the same time knowing he has to do an internship this summer, he feels as though school won't end. I just encourage him and say that everything will be okay and he will get some time to relax and have fun. After all, we are taking two weeks vacation in August.

Just for me
Do you ever wonder why everyone in the world seems to be getting more and more negative as time goes by? I have found myself trapped in a world of negativity where everything seems to go wrong. Every little problem is monumental and devastating. Why? Don't know.
So why write a blog if I am so negative? Because I am hoping it will return some joy to my life so I can vent, talk to myself, and lose weight?
Lose weight? Well I don't know. I am going to try self motivation.
WORKING OUT: Day 1
Hasn't happened yet but I am sure it will tomorrow :)
