Thank-you Lynne
Just the change i was looking for something bright and bubbly.Thank-you Lynne you work miracles.So as everyone knows we are now officially moved and loving our new place.Well an update my soft tissue injury as now been confirmed as a serious concusion and may take up to three months to heal.I am not allowed to lift,cook ,clean but just rest,for me that is impossible.I loved what Thomas spoke of as that was somehting I really needed to hear again,it touched my heart in soo many ways.Especially about not wanting or needing to measure up to everyone else.I have slid so far back,however not anymore.I would love to be back in the nursery,and teaching again.I found it such a blessing and it brings such joy to me.Yesterday we had a bit of a different day as Lynne and I went and visited Char,i had a blast.Something I really feel called to do is more fellowship and involvement.Blessings everyone love from our family to yours

struggling
I can honestly say I am at a point in my life where I am struggling medically,physically.I know it sounds dumb as i know how much we mean to Bill,however i didn't realize it fully till he came home as i have been in and out of the hospital,i have swelling in the front part of my head and my neck and spine.That is why i haven't been around much i just don't have the energy,not because i don't care or love you guys dearly.I have such a hard time opening up for fear of judgement.I come from divorced grandparents,two half uncles one my age the other a few years younger.All but my aunt on my dad's side(5) are all on their second marriages,dad married my bestfriend resulting in my two sisters,whom i love with all my heart.On my mom's side(9)only my two aunts are not divorced and my two uncles who died from what my brother has.I left home at 16 due to my stepdad(yes bad).The relationship my mom and i had is gone but i have faith it will work out in the end.Then here i am in the mix i am 34 with a 16 years old and 12 year old two different dad's and yet i married someone completly different.For years i kept on thinking what have i done, i believe everything happens for a reason.I always thought i was a really bad person as i thought God was punishing me .Now i know it was God's plan for me to see that I was going in the wrong dircetion.Bill told me that he just loves the changes in the kids and how God has grabbed hold of them,but the big change in how I can now honestly say it is not in my hands and God will provide,For the first time in my life I am becoming the fun loving carefree person I used to love.

To Move Or Not To ..,that is the question today..,?
Well things are going great for Bill and his new job...,posing this question,Tanya I love you and miss you all will you consider moving out here I don't want to spend another night without my family?Wow..,Bill believes this is the opportunity of a lifetime for him..,so do I.I will say that I never thought I would be missing him soo much in such a short time.I am all about sacrificing everything for his carrer as he has done for me.However I have no idea what I should do.I like the kids have never lived outside B.C.That is so scary to me.Samm also only has a year and a bit before she heads off to U.N.B.C.Jordan wants to move to be by Daddy as long as we come back to visit.This has been vwery hard on Jordan.He is always praying for the same thing everynight.., Dear God please bring my family back together soon..,he worries that we are breaking up..,which isn't even apart of this at all.Oh and did I mention Bill works in Kindersley,Sask.Work is also going great for me,I can thankfully transfer to Walmart there as it opens on the 25th of this month.When I decide what to do after seeking god's guidance through this as I know I can not make this decision without..,we will be selling alot of furniture..etc just thought I would post(in case).
This Poesm was sent to Us from Samm and Jord's Godparents...,

Wow...,Busy Busy...,
Now that the holidays are all wrapped up,I found it quite hard to settle back into a routine.With the kids back in school, my work and Bill away for work I struggled to find a balance.I was ready to break till one of my dearest friends came over to offer advice and I must admit she is a miracle worker.So far no more pulling my hair out.Samm has been so awesome with helping out,like tonight she made porkchops and a rice medley for her and Jord,left me a plate in the microwave,picked up the house,tucked Jord into bed.I am so proud of her that I am beaming.Jordan is also being great by listening to Samm,cleaning up after himself and doing his homework(which is a blessing in itself).I am so proud of both of them.It makes me happy to think that even with how much those to fight and argue just how well they can get along.Bill is doing great in Sask,he is finally settling in to his new job,one small setback no snow and it is so flat there.Work is going great for me to.I actually am haivng a great time working there.I can honestly say I have had a rough week emotionally but I find myself thinking okay,now what can I do to better things and I seem to say to myself life is good right now,yeah that it is.
I found this interesting..., sorry I didn't catch the author
Getting Back To Wellness
Seven Quick Fixes To Feel Better
The signals our bodies use to tell us we need to cleanse ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally are multifaceted and often mirror symptoms we associate with illness. If we heed these signs, we not only feel better quickly but also stave off poor health before it can start. These quick fixes for common ailments can get you started.
1. Applying pressure to the acupressure point between the thumb and forefinger can release blockages causing pain, tension, and fatigue. You can relieve a headache naturally by squeezing for 20 seconds and releasing for 10 seconds, without letting go, four times.
2. To breathe freely, irrigate your nasal passages with a neti pot and warm salt water. As you clear and soothe the sinuses, congestion associated with allergies or infection will gradually disappear.
3. Apple cider vinegar is a powerful purifying and detoxifying agent. Soaking for 20 minutes in a warm bath infused with two cups of apple cider vinegar pulls toxins from the body and can clear blocked energy.
4. The foods you eat can have a profound impact on your outlook and mood. Eating a small yet satisfying meal rich in complex carbohydrates can lift your spirit and help you let go of feelings of anger, irritability, and depression.
5. Anxiety and fear dissipate quickly when countered with conscious breathing because concentrating on the breath enables you to refocus your attention inward. You can ground yourself and regain your usual calm by taking a series of deep belly breaths as you visualize your feet growing roots that stretch miles down into the earth.
6. Though tuning out can seem counterproductive, a few minutes spent lost in daydreams or listening to soothing music can help you see your circumstances from a new angle when you feel frustrated.
7. If you feel ill health coming on, brew a wellness elixir. Simmer three sliced lemons, one teaspoon freshly grated ginger, one clove freshly minced garlic, and one quarter teaspoon cayenne pepper in five cups water until the lemons are soft and pale. Strain a portion into a mug and add honey by tablespoons until you can tolerate the taste. Drinking this potent mixture of antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal ingredients three times each day can ensure your symptoms never progress into a full-blown illness.
