Another Part of our Journey

So...we've lived in Grande Prairie for almost a year now. I know that we were meant to move up here, I'm not sure why, but that doesn't matter to me. We did what we felt was right for us at the time. So we find ourselves in similar circumstances, as we've decided to move back home...to Magrath. What really started us on this idea was because Richards work permit expires at the end of this month, and we have yet to get his renewal back to us yet. So as you can see, we didn't have much choice, but I believe that things are working out the way they're supposed to. We've had a really tough year...REALLY TOUGH!!!! It's really hard being so far away from family. So, we'll be moving back and staying with my parents until Richard can work again. We're so excited to be with family. One thing I for sure have learned is how much I love and appreciate my family. They mean so much to me. I'm so thankful for them, and CAN'T WAIT to be with ...

some of my favorite things...

FINALLY...

WHOAH...ok it's been a super long time sense I've blogged last. Sorry about that. We've been super busy lately, which is good I suppose. We "started" our summer by going on vacation to Magrath to spend time with our family. It was an awesome visit. We hadn't told anyone that we were going down their except for my mom, so we had everyone surprised. It was funny because when we showed up at my dads front door(work door cuz he works on weekends) he did a double take because he was so surprised, it was awesome. We had a lot of fun. There's a lot we did, and I don't have much time to "inform" you all rite now, but I'll forsure fill you in a day or two. It was also really neat because once Jer. and Fred found out that we were down in that area, they decided to take off after work and drive up from Idaho to see us, which was totally awesome of them!!! So, we had a great vacation. Then we get to go back down to visit for our second wee...
Hopefully this works, this is my attempt at playing Bellas Lullaby. I recorded it on my keyboard with the piano settings and then played and recorded over top of that with the strings settings. I know it's not perfect, but it was fun:)

SO EXCITED...

Ok, so it's now less than 2 months until I get to see family...like I said in my previous post I'm mostely excited to see all of my nieces and nephews. Mellis ( my oldest sis. ), posted this pic. on her facebook and I TOTALLY love it. It's of Hayley and she looks gorgeous! She's only 5, almost six. I can't believe that. She's in kindergarten and they do a lot of fun days at school. She's dressed up in this picture for "school spirit day" because their school colors are blue and gold. She cracks me up. Nothing too exciting has gone on here sense my last post. It's getting to be beautiful weather here so I'll start taking a lot of pictures soon. Ok ttyl

A little of this, a little of that....

WOW...it's been WAY too long eh? I know, I know I'm a slacker!!! lol . But really things have been so crazy around here lately. Mainly because a few weeks ago we rented Twilight...which was the day I became DOOMED. I totally love the movie....so went out and bought all of the books. That's what I've been doing with most of my time, reading the books and re-watching the movie. I know, so pathetic. I've just totally become consumed with the story. I love how "in love" they are. Not the mushy, squeeling kinda freaking out "in love", but the true part of it. I know, I'm a sap what can I say??? But really though, I really enjoy it all, so far my fav. book is Eclipse, and I'm about 200 pages away from finsihing Breaking Dawn. Anyways...So we're taking a vacation in June and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!! I'm really excited to see my family, it's been WAY too long. Not that I don't miss my siblings and parents, but ...

Well...yesterday were at Wal-Mart(I know...so exciting), and they had a desk on sale for $70.00. I've wanted somewhere to do my scrapbooking for a long time, but I was not going to spend a lot of $$$! Anyhow, so we bought the desk, and voila..here it is. There's still some stuff I'm going to do with it, but over the next few days I'll primp it up. So, I called Mellissa's today and of course Hayley answered like she always does. We ended up talking on the phone for almost an hour! I love that kid, she's the best. So, I made her this little card which happens to be the first thing I've made on my new desk..lol here it is I think it turned out fun. I'm so excited to start scrapbooking again, it's going to be great.
