My second home...

It has been a very sad few days for me, it is finally sinking in that I will not be going to my second home this summer, my second home being Camp Hermosa. This will be the first time in 13 straight summers that I have not spent a minimum of 1 week at this place, I have cried many a tear over this...if any of you are laughing...I'm coming after you, I might be small but I am fiesty...I can take you! But seeing as only hermosa people really read my blog anyways...how sad is that? tangent...I apologize...I am asking all my hermosa folks to please write down in my comments their favourite hermosa moments so that I can laugh about something...here is a list of my top favourite hermosa moments (camper, leader, staffer)

-you whore, you stole my sleeping bag
-writing songs about my feet
-man I feel like a woman
-ish
-swimming in the campfire pit
-bloody toe lists
-sponge bob is where?
-lacoon broke the car
-it wasn't the nanny, it was the granny
-why jaya's pajamas are wet
-bunkfood juffet

Okay, I am taking all the good ones, now it is your turn, cheer me up, make my day brighter, make me laugh.

It has to stop

Okay, I have been trying desperatly to come to grips with the terrorist attacks on London, I have been trying to come up with some sort of logical explanation of what I am feeling. So far, I have had no luck in this area, but I felt that I needed to write something down anyways.
To say that I am angry, that would be a gross understatement. I am livid, beyond myself, yet at the same time saddened and deeply distressed. 9/11 was horrible, Madrid was devastating, and now London...what is next. I feel like we are just getting back to a state of normal life and then something happens that puts everyone into a state of terror. I can honestly say that I am scared, scared of what this world has become...where people just strap bombs to whatever they feel like and blow up innocent people...there were children on those trains...but I suppose that does not matter in todays world. It needs to stop, someone needs to put an end to all this terror and destruction...how many more innocent people have to die before it ends? Plus, most of you know that I am not a big fan of the Americans, (most of my family is American, that is why I can be so open about my dislikes) but I hate the fact that they are using what happened in London to focus on themselves...the moment that the bombings become public knowledge, the Americans were on higher alert...worry about someone other than yourself. The only comfort I have been able to get out of this whole ordeal is to remember that God is faithful. God will protect us, that no matter what happens today, tomorrow or the next day, God will still be there, holding us and comforting us. I just hope that one day, everyone will know that kind of love and comfort.
Wow, this was a pretty bitter post.

Whoa

Wow, look how crappy of a job I am doing on this website...not writing since April...and not being able to spell anything...I am horrible...but seeing as it is after my bed time...I will not subject you all to my late night sleep deprived rantings...I will save that for later...but here is a list of up coming topics for me to cover:

My love of chicken fingers and where to find the best ones
How much I am going to miss my sweet pink girlie Alicia
How much I miss my fab 4 ladies and Karl
How much I love my boyfriend
My most recent travels
My crazy rants about my misguided family
My stress level and the fact I am reaching a breaking point
The story of how I have come to work with a boy

Good times coming up, so keep checking back

Thats the way the cookie crumbles I guess

Hi All, okay, once again, it has been super long since I last wrote here. I really truely am the worst blogger in the whole world...whatever, I will survive...and maybe I will try to get better...I doubt it, but you never know. So, lots has happened since I last wrote in here...but I don't remember most of it...but I will write about what I do...does that work for you? Good...

~Work is going really good...I am really happy with the place I am working at right now, which is such a relief, seeing as I will be in brampton for what appears to be a long time still, it's nice to have something to work at that I like. my co-worker is awesome, we really have become good friends, yay Alicia! Although, the sad news is that one of my children will be leaving because his mother died on Thursday...that is horrible, I loved this kid and now he is so sad and I do not blame him in the least.

~I quit Sunday School...yep, I sure did, I am no longer the teacher of the Jr.Youth class, I finally threw in the towel, I had had enough of their constant bickering and trying to take advantage of me...so I am done...not sure what I will do now...I might attend my dad's class...but I don't know.

~My sister graduated yesterday from Emmanuel Bible College, so did Parker and his girlfriend Jen. I went, it was a really long ceremony, but it was great, I cried...but whatelse is new right? I got to catch up with Parker which was nice seeing as we have not really talked to each other in close to 2 years...wow, that is a long time. And Ames was there, that caught me by surprise, but made me have happy...I miss my entire Fab 4 but getting to see at least one of them makes me smile.

~Graham is coming home on Tuesday! YAY!!! My boss has given me the afternoon off so that I can met him at the airport...yay, I really like that, I have missed him so much and it has been way way too long...I just wish that I got to spend more time with him than just an evening...but I have to work the next day.

Anyways, I am about to be late for church.

What's that on his back? A monkey?

~I am seriously the worst blogger on the face of the planet...actually second worst...Ames when did you last write?

~Happy Birthday to the love of my life, Graham, you are very old today...seriously...you are going to die soon...one toe in the grave even. I love you

~Worst day at work in my life...child wiped his B.M all over the floor...it was not amusing...who is laughing? I can hear you...IT IS NOT FUNNY!!! Okay, maybe it is a little funny...I am crazy...padded room...here I come.

~Graham comes home in 15 days...yep I am counting...and yep, I am sure going to meet him at the airport.

~Women's Sunday was yesterday...crazy long service...seriously, I was dieing by the end of it...not fun so much...and then the "luncheon" afterwards...was death on a plate...everything...I almost died...good thing I am semi-aware of my environment.

~I took a first aid/CPR class on Saturday...so now I can save lives, good for me

~I feel nauseous right now...but you did not need to know that

~Tired, so very very tired

~Good bye now

Update

~Happy Good Friday Everyone, I will be headed off to church in just a few hours for our Friday Service, it should be really good.

~My sister and brother in law are coming to stay for the weekend, that will be fun, I will get to spend some quality time with my sister. That makes me very happy.

~There is a concert tonight at my church, all bands that I have never heard of, so that makes me less happy...but I will still go regardless.

~On Wednesday morning, I cut my elbow open, yep, I should have gotten stitches, but I chose not to...not sure if that was a mistake yet or not...but we shall have to wait and see.

~What did I do to my elbow you ask? Stupid story really, see...I was in the bathroom at my house, and for those of you who know my house, the bathroom upstairs has a little ledge type thing with a very pointy corner...dangerous really. Well, I was adjusting the sweater I was wearing and I banged my elbow really hard off the corner of this ledge...now, at first I did not think anything of it because it was the general area of my funny bone, so whatever right? wrong, I continued to fix my hair and brush my teeth, when I noticed that my elbow was stinging, so I glanced down and my sleeve of my white sweater was bright red with blood...I freaked.

~Work is going well, I have been very busy and we had our Easter party yesterday during the afternoon, complete with egg hunt, the children were thrilled, but so loaded on sugar, so we sent them home.

~I might be going to the Raptors game on the 15th, the youth group has signed on for the BCOQ Centre court event...interesting

~Our Youth Group now has a name...yippee...we are called "Youth F.I.R.S.T" (F.I.R.S.T stands for Fellowship, Inviting others to share God's Love, Responding to the needs of others, Showing our love to God through worship, and Training in God and to obey His Word)

~I got to see some pictures of my friend Ben's little daughter, she is adorable.

~I have noticed that a lot of my friends are "asking questions" in the sense of NOT asking the questions, just hoping that I will understand what they mean, "loud and clear but the answer is still no"

~I am sick, I have had this cold for over a month, and now I have an ear infection and the possibility of pink eye. Great.

~I have to go get ready for church now.

A Good Old Irish Blessing

So, as it would turn out, I was told today by my grandmother (my dad's mom) that the West Family is actually a good old Irish Family...so now I am British, Scottish and Irish...I am a nice mix. But to celebrate this new found knowledge...here is a blessing:

Always remember to forget the things that made you sad
But never forget to remember the things that made you glad
Always remember to forget the troubles that passed away
But never forget to remember the blessings that come each day
May you always have work for your hands to do
May your pockets hold always a coin or two
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again, my friend
May God hold you in the palm of His hand

God has not promised skies always blue
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through
God has not promised sun without rain
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain
God has not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, troubles and woe
He has not told us we will not bear
Many a burden, many a care
But God has promised strength for the day
Rest for the labourer, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

~Quotes for the week (because you know I won't write until next Saturday or Sunday):

~~~~You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. -Beverly Sills

~~~~If you think you can, then you can. ANd if you think you can't, well, you're right. -Mary Kay Ash

~~~~Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer, but wish we didn't. -Erica Jong

Seriously...who hired these people?

Okay, so I am in the process of reading several books right now...yeah, I know, it is probably not a smart move to try reading 4 books all at the same time..."it can get confusing" some have even said...but some of these books are "homework" so to speak even though I am clearly finished with the whole schooling process. But one of these books is called "I know you Love me, but do you like me?" It is about how to be the best friend of the person you are dating/married to. It is actually a really good book. One that I find I am agreeing with throughout the whole process...unlike the other books which when I calm down enough about them, I will write about them too. But in this "I Know you Love Me..." book, there is a whole list of those stupid labels on materials things...apparently these have caused several marriages/dating relationships to end because woman think that men are stupid for writing them, and men feel the same about women. Here they are:

On a Sears Hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping

On a bag of chips: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.

On a bar of Dial Soap: Directions: Use like regular soap

On some Swannson frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: defrost

On a hotel-provided shower cap in a box: fits one head

On the bottom of Tesco's Tiramisu dessert box: Do not turn upside down

On Marks&Spence Bread Pudding: Product may be hot after heating

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothing while still on the body

On a bottle of children's cough medicine: Do not drive a car or operate heavy machines

On Nytol Sleep Aid: Warning: may cause drowsiness

On a Korean kitchen knife: Warning: keep out of children

On a Swedish chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chainsaw with your hands

On Sainsbury peanut bottle: Allergy Alert: Product may contain nuts

On an American Airlines Peanut package: Directions: open package, eat nuts.

THESE PEOPLE ARE NUTS!!! WHO HIRED THEM???

3 Years in the Making

So, back on February 19, 2002 I said "yes" to the man of my dreams, and now 3 years later, we are still together, going strongand have plans for the future. Although, any rumours out there that anyone might have heard are false, we are not engaged. But on this day, I just want to tell Graham that I love him with all my heart and I look forward to the many years we have ahead of us.

I hit the door at 6:55 sack full of groceries split down the side.
Can goods scattered all the way to the curb.
Look on my face saying don't say a word.
So, it's you and me and a can of beans sitting there on the front porch swing.
Western sky all turning red.
Head on your shoulder I sighed and said:

Been gophering, chauffering, company chairmen.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man that I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like i can't make it through.
I said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you

I said the girl I was with the highschool degree probally wouldn't recognize me.
I was going around the bank.I was going to run them out.
Now all I want to run is a bubble bath.
Back then you know I had this plan.
Before all of this reality set in.
Here comes life boy ready or not.
Hey I wanted it all and thats what I got.

Cause I'm gophering, chauffering, company chairmen.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man thatI don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like I can't make it through.
I said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you.

La, la, la, la, la, la
The woman with you

P.S, I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you. Now everytime I hear the rain pounding on my windowsill, my whole mind is full of thoughts of you. Thank you for the time we have had

2 thoughts for the day

First thought of the day: I wake up every morning to another crazy day I have to face and when I'm losing my direction, you are the one who points me in the right way. You always know when I am about to fall. It's almost like you are standing there when I hit the wall. Because of you my eyes are open and instead of hoping I have faith in today. So I thank you God for blue skies. When my head is down, You remind me to look up. Thank you for all those times You believed when others couldn't see. Without You where would I be?

Second thought of today: Sometimes I get emotional, sometimes I do some stupid things. Sometimes I say what I should just keep inside. Sometimes I am sad about everything. Sometimes I am mad and I break some things. Sorry times 10 but you just got in the way. Don't run away from me, I won't hurt you. Sometimes I am just a pain and that's just the way that I am. Sometimes I feel like crying, like lying down and dying, but thats when I need you. Laughing is always easy but sometimes I'm just scared that you'll leave me, that's when I feel emotional. You say that I'm just impossible, totally unpredictable. I'm just a girl get used to it. It's no big deal really and you can't change me. Why would you even try? I am no angel but I can make you smile and that is just the way it is

From Undernealth
Hawk Nelson

From undernealth I wanted you
To see the first thing
That I ever poured my heart into
You'll never know the pain that I've been through
I'm not sure you'll ever know
And so I'll make you understand
The words that built my life
Were not from you,
But from my Father's hand

Do you remember, that cold day in December?
Leaving everything you knew behind
I may never know how it feels
To stand beside you
Or take your hand
When I need some direction
And I may never know what its like
To see you smile back at me
Or know you'd be proud of me

From undernealth I promised to
Erase the past
And let my heart forgive the former you
Replace the dark of old
And start brand new
I never thought I'd see the day
I walk towards the end of life
And turn the other way
Reaching out to take my Father's hand

~Because I have missed so many months of my e-songs, I thought, why not include some other favourites of mine.

Long and Lonely Road
Hawk Nelson

I took a walk down a country road
I know it may sound dumb
But I was all alone
If you think I'm going somewhere
Take my hand I'll lead you there
Don't want to have to
Call you from a pay phone

It's a long and lonely road
It's a long and lonely road
If you don't like it
Then please don't take it
It's a long and lonely road

I took a walk down a country road
I know it may sound dumb
But I was all alone
If you think I'm going somewhere
Take my hand I'll lead you there
Don't want to have to
Call you from a pay phone

I know it is so hard
For you and I to be apart
I'm slowly fading
You're my lady
That keeps me moving on
Honest promise
You will be missed!

Suds in the Bucket
Sara Evans

She was in the backyard
They say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up
A white pickup truck
Her folks should have seen it coming
It was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough
And you can't stop love

She stuck a note to the screen door
"Sorry but I got to go"
That was all she wrote
Her mama's heart was broke
That was all she wrote
So the story goes
Now her daddy's in the kitchen
Just staring out the window
Scratching and racking his brain

How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl
Growed up to be a woman
And she is gone in the blink of an eye
She left her suds in the bucket
And her clothes hanging out on the line

Now don't you wonder what the preachers
Gonna preach about Sunday Morn
Nothing quite like this has happened here before
Well he must have been a looker
A smooth talking son of a gun
For such a grounded girl
To just up and run
Cause you can't fence time
And you can't stop love
Now the biddy's in the beauty shop
Gossip going non-stop
Sipping on pink lemonade

How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tail girl
Growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left her suds in the bucket
And the clothes hanging out on the line

She's got her pretty little bare feet
Hanging out the window
And their headed up to Vegas tonight

How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl
Growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left her suds in the bucket
And the clothes hanging out on the line

She was in the back yard
They say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up
A white pickup truck
Plenty old enough
And you can't stop love

~Oh, Congrates to my old friend Katie on her current engagment...I hope you will be very happy

~That is the end of my thoughts for today

The Worst Feeling

I feel that one of the worst feelings in the whole world is to be disappointed or let down by a friend, family member or loved one. In the past 24 hours, I have felt let down by 2 of the 3...and let me tell you, the worst one was the let down by the family member. The friend one was really not that bad...I mean, yeah I was disappointed, but I will move on and we have other plans, no need to worry about it. But my family member let down, not only affects me, but several other people were counting on this as well. Grr...it makes me so angry just thinking about it!

Okay, here is the story...I told my brother about a month ago to keep the 15th of January free because the worship band was asked to play at the opening of the Youth Group...he said that yes, I could "always count on him", I reminded him two weeks ago and he still said that he remembered and that he would be there, he "would not miss it for the world" because he knew it was important to me. That is a good sign don't you think? Well, anyways, tonight when I was in the car with my father picking him and his girlfriend up from the mall, I just happened to casually comment about the youth group tomorrow and how we were playing at it, and he told me that he "made other plans with Christine" so he won't be there!! Can you believe it? I am so flipping mad right now...he broke a promis to me and that hurts a lot.

I can honestly say that this is one of the worst feelings in the whole world

So the other day...

So, the other day, I was going through my CD collection and I came across a song that I did not remember ever listening to on one of my soundtracks, so I put it on and to my surprise, it was one of those songs that really just make you think of the person you love...you know the kind of song I am talking about? Here is the song, I dedicate it to Graham...

God Knew I needed you

I look at you and I see
The one that God chose for me
What did I do to deserve
All I have recieved?
We're like a hand in a glove
One heart made from two
God knew I needed you

You know my heart in a way
I'm known by no one else
And who you are
Gives me the strength beyond myself
Inspite of all you see
I know your love is true
God knew I needed you

When we face the darkest of night
I'll reach out for your hand
And I know your love will hold me tight
Until we see the sun again
For God has given me a taste
Of Heaven here on earth
Until this life is through
I belong to you

My heart will fail
And my weaknesses will be uncovered
But love will prevail
When we choose to turn to each other
And in the deepest valley
The Lord will see us through
He knew just what I needed
He knew I needed you
