This is Our Life

So, I just wanted to upload a few pics. from Jacksons(my nephew) birthday party we had yest. He is such a little stud! He's so shy, but SO NOT! The family and here's Jackson, the b-day boy! It was a fun b-day party:)

Well...it's been a really odd summer! The weather this summer has kinda stunk unfortunately. Normally I wouldn't mind it not being so hot, but because we have a pool....having colder weather is kind of a let down. But, we make the best of what we've got! Richard and I were on holidays at the beginning of this month, which was REALLY nice! We didn't do a whole lot. Because of money, we wen't camping...in our backyard! It sounds super dorky I KNOW, but it was actually A LOT of FUN! Here's our Lovely Tent! We had a lot of fun on Aug. 4, going to Calaway park with the entire family!! Calaway Park is an amusement park in outside of Calgary. It has more rides for children, but it was still a lot of fun! It was a really nice day out! I was actually REALLY impressed with all of the little kids, because they went on rides NON-STOP ALL DAY! Mellis with Hayley Adam, Mir and Richard. Easton and Jacks are in the front...the rest of the kids are in the back. It was a...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta...

Ok, so I only have a minute because I NEED to go to bed! Today in Church one of the speakers was of course speaking about her father. She told a story about how one day...she noticed a "poster" on one of the walls in her home. She didn't know how it got their, or how long it had been their...but the poster stated "Family comes First...if I forget Remind me! Doncha love that? I sure do! Happy Fathers day! Night!

Ok...so Richard got a new job and his hours are from 1:00pm-really late!(last nite he was home at midnight and 2nite he's still not home yet). It's seriously been TWO NITES...yet I miss him LIKE CRAZY! *I miss coming home from work and being greated with a kiss. *I miss cooking/cleaning in the kitchen together....stealing a kiss here and their *I miss sitting and hanging out cuddled on the couch together *I miss just sitting around talking about absolutely nothing-but that nothing made some great conversations *I miss being able to hold his hand *I miss just being with him Ok, of course there's much more that I miss, but I'm doing my best to keep busy! Let's just say that over these next few months my home is going to be spick and span! On a lighter note, I wanted to upload a few pics/videos from the last little while, while we've had Ione, Jenny and Anea with us: Here's a video of Anea wearing her curlers...getting ready for bed. Is she so not so adorabl...

So, here we are. It's a few months since my last post, and lots of things have happened since then. We've had Jenny and Anea(sister in-law and niece) with us for about 3 weeks, and now have Ione (Richards mom) with us. We've had a pretty crummy "spring/summer" so far...because we've only had a few days of decent weather. One of my best friends Mary Ann...is getting Married July 16. I SOOOOO wish I could be their, but I'm so happy for her...LOVE YA! Back in January, we started the "biggest loser" at work. It finished in at the end of April. Both myself and another co-worker and I tied. We both lost 23 pounds. That was pretty exciting. We started up again at the beginning of May and will go for another 4 months to do another biggest loser. We'll see how that pans out. One thing I do have to mention, is how thankful I am for such a good husband. I seriously just love him to pieces. There isn't a man in this world that I would rathe...

So here I am, feeling like a bawl baby. I can't STOP worrying and thinking about Wednesday. Of course the most important thing is to be with Richard, and as long as we're together then everything in my life should be content. Of course, I sit here and like most of us, I tend to think and focus on the negative instead of the positive. We've worked so hard for the past 6 years trying to accomplish so many things to do with his permanent residents, and now that the time has come where we get an answer, it feels like my whole world is coming crashing down. I have so much fear in me, that it's making me physically and emotionally exhausted. I don't know how to stop myself from FREAKING OUT...but I have to try, or else I will make myself go INSANE! All I know is that Richard is the love of my life, and nothing, I mean NOTHING will keep us apart. I know that we were meant to be together, and from that we will continue to be together no matter where on this earth th...
