How Life should be...

Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning faster than it did in the old days. So naturally, we have more natural disasters from the strain of a fast pace. Sunday was a day of rest; now, it’s one more day for progress and we can’t slow down ‘cause more is best. It’s all an endless process!

Well, I miss Mayberry! Sitting on the porch drinking ice-cold cherry coke. Where everything is black and white. Picking on a six string where people pass by and you call them by their first name. Watching the clouds roll by Bye, bye

Sometimes I can hear this old earth shouting through the trees as the wind blows. That’s when I climb up here on this mountain to look through God’s window. Now I can’t fly but I got two feet that get me high up here above the noise and city streets. My worries disappear

Sometimes I dream I’m driving down an old dirt road not even listed on a map I pass a dad and son carrying a fishing pole but I always wake up every time I try to turn back

Bye, bye

Another update...

Okay, seriously...I say that I am going to write more often...but I am a liar...so, that should tell you something.

~This past month has been crazy crazy crazy!!! Wow...I don't think I ever stopped moving.

~My cousin died yesterday...actually it is my mother's cousin's son...but still...we just to hang out all the time when his family came to the cottage in the summer...He lived in California with his parents and sister. He was only 13 years old. It was luekemia.

~Andrew and Wendy had their Stag and Doe this past weekend...it was awesome...so much fun. Seriously...I laughed so hard.

~My sister and Rob came to visit me a few weeks ago...she has a little baby belly...so cute in her maturnity clothes...awww...

~My parents were in Florida visiting the grandparents...so were my brother and Christine....not me though...

~OSAP sucks

~I fell down a few weeks ago and strained my wrist and bruised my knee...not a fun experience.

~I have discovered "FACEBOOK" I recommend it to everyone...I love love LOVE it! I have reconnected with so many people.

~Boo taxes

~I got a kilt..I pick it up on Saturday in Barrie

~It was picture day at work today...yippee

That is all...see you in a month.

Oh me... oh my...

Sorry folks for the lack of posting happening on my site...I have no excuses really..I am just lazy and have not felt like posting...plus I have discovered Facebook which takes up some of my time and a husband that takes up most of my time...But a sincere apology to you all. Now, moving on to an update:

~Still working for the YWCA in Cambridge...

~Still married to Graham...we have made it 4 months now! Yay us!

~My sister is pregnant and is due the end of August...yay Jen and Rob!

~I got a kilt for V-day this year, so very excited...I will wear it to all the games...

~My brother-in-law is getting married in June...

~Violet and Chris are getting married in July..

~ummm...that is all that is new right now...

Oh wow, it has certainly been a long time since my last post...but do not fear my readers, I am still here...busier than ever, but still here...this is going to be an update as to what has been happening in the past few months since I posted:

~As you all know, I got married back in October, I posted about that, we are living in Cambridge in a little apartment by the river. It is perfect for us...we might not have that much furniture and such, but I had a Christmas tree...so I was estatic.

~An acquaintance of ours died in early December. Her name was Shelly Emmott (Paterson). We knew her from encounter and BCOQ events and through Craig. She was in a car accident on her way to work and died on the scene. She was only 29, recently married (2003). It was heartbreaking. At her funeral there was well over 500 people. I cried a whole lot.

~I work for the YWCA here in Cambridge, we were lucky enough to close for the entire week between Christmas and New Years.

~Christmas was hectic...we went everywhere this year.

-Christmas Eve, we went to Mum and Steve Pinney's...we ate fondue, went to church and hot tubbed...Andrew/Wendy, Ross/Ainsley came the next day where we took a family photo:

-Christmas Day we went to Mom and Daddy West's house for dinner with the whole gang Jen/Rob and Jon/Christine.

-Boxing Day we stopped by Dad and Liz's place for half and hour to drop off a present...we left just as Andrew, Wendy, Ross and Ainsley arrived. From there we had to make an appearance at my Grandma West's place for Christmas dinner, where the entire West Clan was there...we had some fun.

-Then we got to come home...yay!!!

~My sister Jen and her husband Rob announce that they were going to have a baby in August! I am so excited, I am going to be an AUNT!!!

~On December 30th, Graham, Ames and I went to Niagara Falls for the day, we hit the outlet stores, some wax museums and Ripley's before heading down to the falls for fireworks and Christmas lights...I was a little disappointed by the Christmas lights, they were no way as impressive as I was lead to believe...maybe it would have been better if there was some snow...hmm... Then we hit the Hersey Chocolate store before buying me the biggest Coca-Cola we could find.

~New Years Eve was spent just the two of us this year, we watched the ball drop and drank champagne (oh...sparkling wine)

~Now I have been back at work for a few days, back to being tired. Graham is back at school part-time. He is at Mac taking his MDiv. and working full time still! Yikes

~That is a basic outline of my life at the moment...I need to go now and convince my husband to come to Ikea with him.

Peace out!

Three Wooden Crosses...

A farmer and a teacher
A hooker and a preacher
Riding on a midnight bus
Bound for Mexico
One was headed for vacation
One for higher education
And two of them were searchin' for lost souls

That driver never ever saw the stop sign
And 18 wheelers can't stop on a dime

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them heaven only knows
I guess it's not what you take
When you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

That farmer left a harvest
A home and 80 acres
The faith and love for growing things
In his young son's heart

And that teacher left her wisdom
In the minds of lots of children
Did her best to give 'em all
A better start

And that preacher whispered
"Can't you see the promised land?"
As he lay his blood stained Bible
In that hooker's hand

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them heaven only knows
I guess it's not what you take
When you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday
As he held that blood stained Bible up
For all of us to see
He said, "Bless the farmer
And the teacher
And the preacher
Who gave this Bible to my momma
Who read it to me"

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them now I guess we know
It's not what you take
When you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway......

To everyone who reads this;

On Friday night, Graham and I went out for dinner, we went to The Drake and Firken Pub, after dinner we rented a movie (Tristian and Isolde) but before we could watch it, Graham said that he wanted to walk off the food we ate, I agreed. We went for a walk around the courtyard at the city hall before heading over to Gage Park, we wandered aimlessly for a few minutes before heading to one of our favourite photo spots, the Big Bell thing. When I got there, Graham admitted to me that he did just want to come for a walk, I was busy reading a plaque on the wall, so I asked what he meant, I turned around and he was down on one knee...HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM!!!! After a first reaction of "What? Are you serious???" I did in fact said yes. So, we are now getting married on a date that has not yet been pick, but hopefully in the fall.

YAY!!!!
