What a day it has been. Raining all day. It makes me sleepy.
I'm talking to my Mom while I'm working on this. I don't really have anything new to say. So we're just talking about Thursday. She's really excited, as am I! I've booked Friday off and Monday. My poor honey is working on Monday, then he flies to Milwalkie for business on Tuesday, I hate when he has to go, but he gets back on Thursday, so I should be able to survive.
Today we were talking about Lake Superior. We are again going this summer. The first week in August, this time without Mike and Joy, and with Kris, Shannon and Mason. Steve and Christa isn't sure yet. We may have a large group this year, because Dave's aunt and uncle are going and another family from our church. It should be fun.
Well I'm tired. I really hope my week goes fast!

I'm so glad it is Saturday
Well this I found to be a long week. But I'm so happy it's over with. I had a few issues to deal with on the phones at work, and they really ruined my week. Some people can be so demeaning.
Less than a week until my brother is home. That is very exciting for me! I've been counting down the days.
We have been to the mall and back already. Dave's new xbox finally came in and we picked that up, along with some groceries for some food to take to Jay's tonight. Dave just went out to the card shop for the rest of the morning, so it's just me here.
It's quiet here, just the sound of the dryer running. It's beautiful outside. The sun is shining and it's warm, you wouldn't think it's winter! I just hope there will be snow on the ground when Krista gets here, she's been telling us how much she wants to make snow angels.
Last night the church rented out the bottom of East Side Marios. We went and played pool and had some appetizers. It was a lot of fun, and lots from the church came, so that was encouraging.
Dave and I are going to become members of the church soon. It's been weighing on Dave's heart these past few weeks, and with all the change that will be happening, we want to be apart of it. He pulled out the Purpose Driven Life again, and was reading me some of it, and yes, we need to be members. What pushed us this week, was two of our couples that attend our small group told us that they were leaving the church because they weren't getting anything out of it. This upset me. That is definately not a reason to leave. The first line in that Purpose Driven Life is "It's not about you." I know that I feel that way a lot of the times lately that I get nothing out of the worship or sermon, but I've realized that I'm not receiving because I'm not giving. The 2 couples who are leaving, I think their number one problem was they never plugged themselves in, they never got involved in any ministry. Ahhh sorry for venting. Needless to say we kicked them out of our small group and spit on them......I'M KIDDING!!!
Well I guess I should put another load of laundry in.

Shorter do
Today on a whim I went over to Christa's and had her chop off a good 6-8 inches of hair off! I know, crazy! She put layers in it, and even gave me slight bangs, but I love it. My hair looks even curly some ways too! She was telling me that it would be fun to perm it, there's a type with big curlers, but I told her that I was too chicken to do something like that! So yep, I'm lighter on the head! Dave likes it too, which is nice.
Tonight Dave took me to Montana's for a treat, then we wandered around Walmart for a bit. I bought a present for Krista, since we'll be celebrating Christmas with them when they get home. Dave bought some toys too, only for himself. A couple of hockey figurines to set up in the basement.
I was watching Billy Graham earlier, it brought back memories of seeing him in 1995 at the Skydome. I love his messages because they are simple and are just to the point. This past week we studied being salt, and how salt does two things, it adds flavour and also preserves things. I have decided that I need to work on being more flavourful, as I'm here on the earth. I'm preserving, by having my faith, and keeping Jesus alive in my heart. But as far as being a flavour, sharing the gospel and standing out and being different because I have God in my life, that is something I need to work on.
I'm getting anxious for my brother to get home. I just can't wait for it. I watched Amelie last night, all alone. But I got giggles. Oh tonight I had a real good laugh, so much that my tummy hurt. Dave and I were just on the bed cuddling, and talking about things, when I started trying to play fight with him. Now I'm good at wrestling considering I had 3 brothers, and I miss it sometimes so I try to get Dave to wrestle me. But he never does, he tells me that he'll hurt then all his buddies would be the crap out of him for beating his wife. I laugh at this and say whatever. But I have discovered a way I can get him to wrestle. I try to pick his nose! I know it sounds gross, but that freaks him out, so he then gets defensive and that is how I get to wrestle with him, but it's true I suck at it now, because I start laughing so hard that I can't breath and I lose everytime!
Well that's all I'll share now....it's not the most exciting entry, but I guess it doesn't have to be.
Deb I miss your giggles, and hugs
Amy I miss your generousity when it comes to doing my hair
Jay I miss telling you no to trivail pursuit and showing you spills on your shirt
Yvonne I miss your big heart and smile that goes along with it.
You four girls will always have a special place in my heart.

It's a Beautiful Morning
I woke up to a very bright room, It's so nice seeing the sun shine like it is today. This weekend seems to have gone by so fast. Friday night I went to my friend's tupperware party, only for moral support. I did leave home with an amount of money I could spend, but I didn't get a thing, even though there was new things out, I just didn't feel compelled! Dave was proud of me for that.
Yesterday we had the big plan to go to the zoo. We set the alarm and everything, but when we got up, it was really windy and snowing at the time. So I decided that I didn't want to be out in that wind all day looking at animals. So Dave was good and still took me on a date. We first went to Swiss Chalet for lunch, then we went to Canadian Tire, where I purchased some ice skates (I didn't own a pair) they are cool, they are figure skates with the picks on the front, but they look like the guy skates, only grey. Then we went to Chapters ( I know I know, the big evil) and looked around for a bit, I just loved the smell of the store! I bought a couple of things, and Dave did as well. Then we headed to Galaxy for a matinee, we saw Memoirs of a Geisha. It was so good, I really enjoyed it a lot. Even Dave liked it! I would reccommend it!
After that we headed home and made some dinner, and then I started working on invitations for my family and Stephen and Sally's welcome home party which we're going to host. I think it's going to be fun, it's a Welcome home/Olympic party! Dave found the Olympic hockey schedule, so we chose a date from that! hahaha, atleast all the guys will enjoy that, it's funny how I look at my mom's side of the family, and how most of us cousins are married now, and our spouses are all big sports fans! Dave fits in really well!
Well today I don't have Sunday school, but I'm still up early. We are going to go to church and then this afternoon we're making a quick visit to Dave's aunt's and uncle's place, then I hope to try out my new skates at RIM park! Looking forward to it. Tonight I think I'll just relax at home, as I like to do before having to return back to work tomorrow.....
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you're out enjoying this sunshine!

Oh white
I'm sitting here giggling like a little girl right now. I was watching Gilmore Girls and they were buying a wedding dress, and I got this big urge to pull mine out and put it on. So I did, and I was a bit worried that it wouldn't fit anymore, but, it totally does, I mean I've got my pj's on underneath and I'm braless right now, which means it's loose on top and snug on my waist, but it fits, and I'm twirling around and Dave thinks I'm a goof! He just got home from a meeting and I told him to come and look at me, and he comes and says, "That's your wedding dress" Well DUH!!! hahaha. I forgot how pretty it is. And I totally love it.
hahaha, I don't want to take it off yet, it's fun! Oh if only you could see me now. I feel like a princess too! I'm going to have to do this more often!!!

It's almost over?
Well it's Thursday. Dave and I have had this whole week off and it's almost over. We didn't do much this week, alot of organising and moving things around. We had a successful trip to Ikea on Monday and bought some shelves and such. Dave as I type is in the office upstairs organizing the closet!
Last night we watched Cinderella Man. It was good, sad in some area's I cried my one contact out at one point! hahaha. Hmmm, it seems kind of sad that we haven't done anything too exciting this week, but we just wanted to have a break from work, and be at home with eachother for a bit.
Tonight we have volleyball, first in a long while, I wonder if I'll remember how to play! hahaha. So new year resolutions have been on our mind this week. And even though this is so typical of a news years, we decided to ride the bike 3 times a week. I've done it once so far. I will do it again today, probably after this.
Tomorrow I'm off to Orangeville to see Lesya once more before she flies back to BC. Well I hope everyone is doing well and keeping busy, but most of all I hope everyone is happy!

Happy New Year!
2006 has arrived! Although for me it started with a frustrating moment! More and more Dave and I realize that we are burdened with a troublesome neighbour. At 6am this morning, I heard the music, beating loud! So I turned on the fan, and that didn't drown out the noise, so I moved to the spare bedroom and even still, I heard the music. In my tired anger I stormed downstairs, grabbed my jacket and put on shoes and marched up to his front door and stood there ringing his doorbell a couple of times. No one ever came to the door, so almost in tears I crawled back into bed just hoping it would shut off. It did shut off, around 7:30am in the morning, and then I fell back asleep.
I'm just dreading tonight. I'm really tired, and I'm afraid of what I'll end up doing if it happens again tonight. I'm so tempted to get the police number and leave it by my phone.
We rang in the new year at Kris and Shannon's place. We had a good time, playing many games and just being with everyone. We played Balderdash and we were laughing so hard we were crying, it was so great.
Hum, on Friday Benji came over and spent the night, we went out with Steve and Christa and watched The Chronicles of Narnia, it was awesome, I really really enjoyed it so much. After the movie to my pleasant surprise I ran into Christoph Kesting! It was so good to see him, he still looks the same, and he's done well for himself. It was funny because he gave me a huge hug and kiss on the cheek, and afterwards I was explaining the Steve and Christa that I've known him for such a long time, and Steve responded saying "Well I should hope so, I would hate to think that you would let just any guy come up and kiss you like that!" hahaha.
Well I'm off this whole week from work! (Deb, you know that email I typed you at work, could you respond....if you respond to my home address?? Thanks!!!) Tomorrow Dave and I are going to Ikea with Mike and Joy, then as for the rest of the week, I don't know what I'll get upto! I'm sure I'll see Lesya once more before she heads back to school.
Law and Order:Criminal Intent is on, it looks good, so till next time....
