Gotta Love the Snow!!!!!!
I never realized the power of faith before until tonight,that's right tonight.I know all too well about sacrifice and how life just doesn't seem to be fair or has no guarantees.Now i thought about this post long and hard and what I wanted to say.Even with the rough summer and fall behind us,some good has come out of all the rough times.Seperation can be one of the hardest things a couple,family may have to face and I yes once again I find us coming to a seperation ,no not a bad seperation this time but one involving work,a sister,a kind and gentle heart and a whole province away. Bill will be leaving this weekend for Kindersley,Sask to work and take care of his sister as she recovers from knee surgery.(till June).You may wonder what brought us to this and I must say honestly a passion to do God's work.Now alot of you may have been surprised and/or shocked when Bill gave up Denny's,however I wasn't. I knew deep inside my heart that the passion for cooking is still there but it's different now almost renewed.How you might ask,i'm not sure but I feel it and I see it and I feel the power of faith within my husband. During one of the hardest times of his carreer he has not forgotten where his passion for cooking came from or how easy it is for me to fall.I couldn't have asked for a more supportive husband than these last few months.I must say I have grown alot within the word,with looking beyond all the negative things that we as a family have faced.We have all loved and lost,rejoiced in new life,sacrificied things we wanted,learned and have grown,changed jobs,overcame illness,watched our home being destroyed by winds, rain,and floods. Yet here we are still a family all held together with the faith deep in our hearts that things will get better.So Blessings everyone and have a fun and safe GGT,due to circumstances we will not be attending.

Wow,where is our snow?????
Can you say, (Wow). I feel homesick. I remember in 1996 the last time it snowed like that.First tones of rain and now snow.They are all thinking oh man how much more snow,while some of us are like where is our snow????With each passing day I wonder what life will be like for my children,Lord knows I've made alot of mistakes.Many I don't want my children making.I want them to be strong and independent and be confident in all their decisions they will make.Okay(LOL) I already know they can speak their mind very well,half the time I feel they keep me in line.I know that my life could have taken a very different path but at the expense of my child no way.For some funny way God seems to always know which way your life should be taking.I have the two best blessings in my life and I couldn't ask for it to be any different.Why did my heart get broken and smashed to pieces until Bill came into my life.I srongly believe that in order to find my prince,I had to know what it meant to be on my own,learn to pick up the pieces and continue on.Sometimes I look at myself and wonder where did that person go???Then I remember that I am slowly becoming the person I was,fun,carefree,never home and spontaneous was a new adventure for the kids and I.Now I'm not sure where my daughter got this quote but i often think about it. "To the World you may be one person,but to one person you may be the World".

Sometimes,you just gotta go errr!!!!!
Okay So it is no surprise that I am feeling very lost lately.I have been withdrawn,unreachable and just down in the dumps. Okay so for those of who read my blog are proably thinking so what else is new get over it. Well how do you get over it when you don't know what on earth to do about how you feel.Now I don't expect anyone to be a mind reader,but sometimes I just wish someone could. I guess when it really matters if you don't or can't say anything then you have noone to depend on. Which makes for such a lonely life.Now I know I am not totally alone I God,my family,my best friends.I have alot to be thankful for the three most that i'm thankful for are Bill,Samm and Jord.However If you have never been told that you have an illness,and meds aren't helping then you just can't understand.(sorry you can't). Okay so i am very homesick.Okay so i'm very emotional.If I had all the answers?,okay only one person does.I just wish I could over come this,but honestly I now am admitting I don't know how.I know that you are thinking it is just the enemy talking which it proably is and i know God said life wasn't going to be easy.Because believe me i've been there and i know life isn't easy.I am not looking for sympathy,as that is not the person I am,I am looking for acceptance from within my self.. Still am looking for a car and still would appreciate advice on a digital camera. Blessings

Now as everyone knows no to children are the same for you Jordan
Jordan's song is Kryptonite the Superman song,It has alot of meaning to him.I only hope that you know I love you and how much you mean to me.I know I have been short tempered lately and I apologize for that.
Hello, i'm back
Okay I didn't go anywhere,wish I had.So Walmart is looking good,such a long hire process though.As I've been kinda down lately,I always know thet life is good and it could be worse.My best friend heard this song and it made her think that it was a perfect song for Samm and I,Just thought i would share.It's called Yor're Gonna Be by Reba McEntire.Now I hope you read this and listen to this song.I know i don't always find the right way to tell you things and I know i've been impossible lately and for that I apologize.Just know how much I love you and how much you mean to me.

migraines
Well I was still fighting a migraine,so I have been working with it.Last night I couldn't take anymore I was crying so at 7p.m. I went in my blood pressure was sky high.So they hooked me up to an iv,first they ran through saline,then a med bag,then saline,something for my stomach,more saline,then 3 needles into the iv,more saline,then benadryl,more saline and one more med bag,then more saline.After 4 hours they checked my blood pressure it returned to normal and for me that is very low.I did an oops though i fell asleep and they put the iv above my elbow well when i fell asleep i stopped the iv and the monitors went off(oops).They phoned home and told Bill where i was and he came over and stayed home with me.So after five hours I was allowed to go,The nurse said that i will be very groggy.I said oh i feel fine oops wrong again i got home and then remember waking up 12 hours later in bed wondering how i got there.So now my migraine is gone and they can start me on an everyday preventative medication.Praise the Lord.The kids have been such a blessing picking up the slack around the house as Bill had to work.Other than that not much is happening.Oh yes is anyone interested in going to the musical "The Pajama Party" it is at the rem theatre the dates are thursday the 7th $10.00 and friday and saturday $15.00, all shows are at 8p.m.on dec 7th,8th 9th.Samm is working behind the scenes lighting etc.the play is based on the novel 7and a half Cents by Richard Bissell.So if anyone is interested just let us know thank-you.blessings to all

Wow November Already!!!
Before long everyone will be busy with the all the huslte and bustle of the Christmas Season.I for one am not too fond of Christmas. I have a very hard time wrapping Christmas around my head.Before I came to Christ I only had Christmas in my house as that was the thing to do for the kids,it was a time to get together with all your loved ones and just one day out of the year show love and compassion for others.Now this always made me think why can't we have Christmas everyday and have world peace.To me I didn't need or want just one day to show love or compassion,I wanted it to be like that everyday.As my Grandpa Parkinson would say he loved Chritsmas because for him it was his one day where everyone got together,putting their differences aside and became a family again.You see my Grandparents(dad's side)were divorced and he was remarried with my half-uncles one being the same age as me,the other a couple years younger.I remember going to Grandpa's in the morning for breakfast and gift opening,then we would all go home for the afternoon.Then we would go to my Grandma's do gift opening and have a huge dinner in Grandma's one bedroom little house,how we all fit I will never know.That was my Christmas tradition.Bill and I have very different tradition's and have somehow kept some of each other's and have created our own.This year (after 17 years) I'm going home to spend Christmas with my Dad,Stepmom and sisters.Dad and I have been able to put our differences aside and have our one day together,which I thank the Lord for everyday.Dad has never met Samm or Jord.I have only seen my little sister Joyce once,(Cheryl I used to babysit) met once.That was in the hospital after our Dad had a massive heart attack,in which he never recovered from.Another reason for going to see him.I thought I would be sad, as so much time has been lost and when we finally go home it is with knowing how sick he is.I have prayed and prayed for Dad and I to be brought back together,someone once said becareful what you wish for as you never know what is in store for you.Wow you can say that again!!!Now I know that when someone passes on their spirit lives on,for when i look at Jord I see my Grandpa. I also know you never forget how,where,when and why??? Christmas to me just isn't about the birth of Jesus Christ,it is also about celebrating my Grandfather's life as he was taken away from us on Christmas day.Now don't be sad as I'm not,as this is a little piece of my life and it is with great joy that I share this with all of you.To you Grandpa,till we meet again. A little early,,,,I know!!!!
