Wordless Wednesday...

One day my husband will make a great father!!

Its only Tuesday...

I guess after being on a "high" from such a busy but fun weekend it feels like the week is dragging on - not to mention I am still exhausted from the weekend. I usually sleep in on the weekends but having two little super sweet boys who wake up early I choose to rise at 7:30 both Saturday and Sunday which my body isn't used to so I am still "catching" on my sleep. Today the weather is not very nice and its raining but I still choose to go for my jog/walk this morning but had to cut it short as my puppy was freezing cold due to the rain. I am hoping the weather clears up for the weekend as we are heading to the cottage because my husband is in a fishing tournament this weekend. Plus then I get to see the little boys again and hang out with my dear friend again so if the weather turns nice again it will be a fabulous weekend again. Tonight I am heading to my cousins to hang out with her and my other cousin (her sister) so it should be a good time for us and our spouses to hang out. What are you doing this fine Tuesday night? Are you watching American Idol??

Great friends, a fun weekend that ended so soon...

I can't believe its Monday again, where did the weekend go? Too fast is my answer... but it was such a fun weekend. Friday night Matt and Lindsay and the boys got here around 9 and the boys were sleepy so we thought they would go right to sleep but we were wrong - they got a second wind... but look at their faces!! they are sooo cute I love them to pieces.

On Saturday morning we got up and headed to the Toronto Zoo. They were calling for rain in the afternoon so we wanted to get there early that if it did rain we still got to see most of the Zoo. Well the sky was so blue and no cloud in sight, so we walked and looked at all kinds of cool animals. Us adults enjoyed it but it was so fun to watch the boys!! It was so hot though, it was nice but soo hot so we had to keep hydrated. We were home about 20 min when the strom hit - how cool is our God. He held the rain off till we got home!!




We forgot Ty's hat so he wore my hubby's all day - does he not look so cute here pointing at one of the animals. The boys were so good all day - and my husband and I had so much fun with them and their parents.







here you can see my hubby carrying Ty and Matt (the boys daddy) carrying Nate and my dear sweet friend Lindsay (their mommy) taking the picture from behind. I am so sad the weekend is over already but it was such a fun time. It was what I was needing to remind myself that even though geographically we aren't close friends we are in our hearts. I thank God for putting Matt and Lindsay in mine and my husbands lives because they are such great friends and so fun to be around. Don't you love how God puts people in your life like that - people that you can be yourself around and they still like you. People that you know will just always be your friends!! Its cool when you know you have people like that in your life and I don't think I can say I've really ever had friends like that before... so I guess even though this post is about our fun weekend its also an "ode" to friendship and how important it is in our lives.
I will leave you with one more photo from the weekend because lets face it these two little boys are two cute for words and yes I was like the paparazzi all weekend taking their photos. What did you do this weekend? did you have good weather?

They're coming TODAY!!!

Its Friday, finally and that means my friends and babies are coming today... oh how excited am I??? really excited!!! The weather today started off beautifully and now is really dark and about to rain but thats ok because no rain can take my excitement and happiness away today!! The house is clean or it was when I left for work this morning... the baking is done, beds are made, wash is done, now I just need my company!! I also am praying the weather holds up for tomorrow. All week they have been saying its going to be hot and sunny and now today they are calling for chance of rain. The zoo will be 100% better if we have cooperating weather - but I know even if the weather doens't do what I want it to do it will be a good weekend. God has a funny way sometimes of answering my prayers and I guess its His weekend after all so whatever happens happens for a reason. I had a weird dream last night - weird in the sense that it was one of those real life things where you wake up and think was that real??? I dreamt I had a baby, I was a mommy.... and I know some of you know understand why it was so painful and hard to "wake" up from it. It really just was a dream and oh how my heart broke all over again - then I find out a friend is pregnat with TWINS... she gets not one but two babies.... and my heart breaks again... I tell you my poor hear is being held together by super glue or something the amount of times its been broken over the past few months - but I am trying to put it all asside all my worries, my feelings, my emotions for the weekend and just focus on having FUN!! thats what weekend are for aren't they? thats what friends are for arent they? its funny I always think to myself I wish I had more friends because when I look at other people they are "busting at the seams" with friends its seems and yes by most peoples opionion I dont have alot of friends but then when I start thinking that way I remember the few friends I do have and man are they great friends... so I guess I wouldn't trade my couple good friends for lots of friends. So whatever your weekend holds enjoy it with the people that matter and HAVE FUN!!

Something to get excited about...

I just found out yesterday that our sweet and very dear friends Matt and Lindsay are coming to stay with us for the weekend with their twin boys... these little 18months old boys are so cute and keep you busy. They will be arriving tomorrow night for the weekend and on Saturday we are heading to the Toronto zoo which will be so fun to take the boys to and plus they are calling for great weather all weekend so this is just music to my ears. This is the news I've needed this week... now I'm just busy cleaning and baking... I love to entertain, although I don't get to do it alot, so I'm trying to be the best hostess I can. I will definitely take lots of pictures of the boys this weekend and enjoy being with my husband and our best friends. God is good - he sends the "ray of sunshine" just in the middle of our storms.

So any predictions as to who will win American Idol? All I can say is I am happy with who is left although Adam is talented I really don't want him to win - I just find him a bit odd and arrogant, but that's my opinion. So your thoughts? And what is your favorite thing about Spring?

Where have I been...

Well for the few - but very dear and special - people that read my blog I am sure you have been disappointed in my lack of blogging and to those people I am sorry. I guess there is no real excuse as to where I have been other than to say I have been here but my mind/head has been else where. As you know from my last post I have been sick with a cold and that is the truth but oh how I wished it was more than a cold - maybe something along the lines of morning sickness or something associated with a baby but yet another month goes by and I'm not pregnant and my heart breaks all over again. I know in my heart when the time is right God will bless us with a baby but I also feel like now is the right time - but as God keeps reminding me my time is not His time besides His time is always perfect. In other news my husband and I have been living here in my home town of Cambridge for a year now we moved here last April when my husband was given a really good paying job in the city. So we made the big move - well big for my husband not so big for me - to the "city" as people from Hunstville call it. It was nice for me to be back in my home town, or atleast I thought it would be. I love being close to the mall and being able to run to Winners and Home Sense (which is like Ross, TJ Maxx in the states) any time I want but I quickly found out moving back home is lonely. Being gone for 5 years I have changed and my old friends have changed and quickly we (my husband and I ) became lonely for our friends back up in Huntsville (its about 3 hours north of my home town and it is where my husband is from). Moving here was also a big adjustment for my husband as he has never lived anywhere south of Huntsville (he is a northern boy at heart always lived in the north) He quickly enjoyed his job and especially the big pay checks and we both were excited as to where God was going to lead us from here or why he has placed us here.

Its been a few months now that both my husband and I have felt like our time here is over like there is more out there for us and that being here was for a season. I needed to get away from Huntsville for health reasons and I needed to be close to my parents and needed their support along with my husbands and my siblings to get well. And I did get well and I am trying to stay well - so I say all this to get to my point. My husband was offered last week a job back up north as an assistant golf pro at a really nice Golf Course up there - and we were so excited but we were slow to get our hopes up in case it fell through. Everything seemed to be working out - he would be making more money then his job here which would obviously be a plus, we found the perfect house for us and a great price and then Monday he got the call that they want him to start next year like the season of 2010!! so that was really disappointing to here and discouraging. So now where are kinda at the point of throwing our hands up and asking God "what next" what is His plan for us. Our friends we know are disappointed as we are too, we are so heart broken over not getting pregnant and we really thought this is what we where to do and maybe God still wants us back there but not doing that job I dont know. But I guess in a nut shell thats where I've been lately. With not alot to say but alot on my mind. Right now Im just doing alot of praying and that seems to be all I really can do because after all its His plan we just live it out.

I am alive...

I am alive - but barely! well ok that is an overstatement but I have been awfully sick this week and I wish it was morning sickness or something like that but its not. No baby here yet and that just breaks my heart - I have caught this nasty cold/flu bug and its hanging on for dear life so that is why I haven't been blogging much lately not to mention there is alot going on in my head and its hard to get it out on here. I promise to write more when Im feeling better and when I can get things to make sense on here the way I want you to hear them. On a good note the weather is beautiful here today - Thank you Jesus you knew that is what I needed today. Spring may just be here....
