Please Pray

My family just found out some not so great news today. My Grandpa George, who was diagnosed with cancer in his kidney is in the hospital right now, and has been given 1-3 months left to live. The cancer on one of his kidneys has now spread throughout his lymphnodes, and the kidney not affected by cancer is also failing. Please pray for his salvation...he does not have a personal relationship with Jesus.

God is faithful...he will carry us through.

Hanging out with the office

As most of you have read on almost every Saskatchewan blog about "The Blizzard of 2007" as the radio likes to call it...I have decided to spare you the details again:) Besides the huge amounts of blowing snow, we faired pretty good. We obviously didn't leave the house that night, and in the meantime watched the entire second season of "The Office". I will be honest...I am addicted to this show. I never have really had the time to check it out, or watch any of the episodes...and boy was I missing out. They are in their 3rd season right now, and airs on Thursday nights on NBC at 7:30PM.

I work in an office myself, so watching this show makes me appreciate it even more! It is funny, stupid, and extremely entertaining. The show stars Steve Carrell as Michael Scott, the boss at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company. Pam, the cute and loveable receptionist is engaged to Roy who works in the companies warehouse. Jim, is an employee at the office who is good friends with Pam...sometimes too good of friends. They both like each other, but Pam is engaged, and Jim doesn't want to cause a problem. It is terribly cute watching them together! Dwight is the office loser and loves to suck up to Michael any way he can...he thinks they are best friends. Michael, the office boss thinks he is the funny man of the office. He tries too hard to be his employees friends instead of their boss, and often makes inappropriate comments or guestures that always get him in to trouble. Along with some other characters, this show really is hilarious. If you like silly and ridiculous humour check it out! I think right now I am in love with Jim-he looks nerdy but he really is adorable! Jim and Pam together are enough incentive to watch the show! Even ask Stephen...he loves Jim:)

Party Pictures

Maegan decided to put her hand infront of the camera while I took the picture...
Scrapbooking kit from my Mom & Dad...I am SO excited!

Maegan and Stephen modeling their gifts
Seroiusly...this was SO good
I told them not to look stupid...so much for that

A little of this and that

It is currently blizzarding outside. It looks terrible...lots of blowing snow and wind. I am the only one at work right now, usually people start showing up by now, but the bad weather probably means I might be the only one here for a couple of hours! Tomorrow it is supposed to drop in temperature to -25 for a high! ughh....January weather is finally upon us. I was beginning to think we were being spared, but boy was I wrong!

Maegan left for Australia yesterday...it was a tough day for me. I am going to miss her so much, but I know God has his hand on her and is guiding her through all of her crazy adventures! God just has some plans for our family this year that are taking us all apart, which is really hard for me to understand, but I know he knows what he is doing. Saying goodbye to someone is never easy and thinking of not seeing Maegan for a year makes me want to cry(believe me, I cried my fare share yesterday!), but I know that we will make lots of memories on the phone together:) She is totally where God wants her to be, and for me that is what matters.

Before Maegan left, we were able to celebrate all the January birthdays together. Stephen's birthday is on the 7th, mine is on the 13th and Maegan's is on the 24th. I have some pictures of the momentous occasion, but have not had time to put them up. Hopefully by today I will have those up for your viewing pleasure!

We are definitely back into the swing of things. This week youth starts back up, as well as Fuse on Saturday night. It will be nice to get back into our routine. After a lot of holiays and sleeping in, it always takes my body time to adjust back to "real life". I am excited for the things God has in store for Stephen and I this new year, as well as for our Youth Group and ministry at Cornerstone Church. I really want to work on making things count this year. Making my actions count, my thoughts...everything that I do, I want it to have a purpose. I want to work on having a joyful attitude always, and most of all I want to work on trusting God more this year than I ever have before. Trusting him with everything in my life. I suppose I see all the things already that God is going to be teaching me, and I want to do well at listening to him and obeying him. I want to grow...

Hope all of you here in SK are surviving the storm out there! Stay warm:) Check back for pictures later today.

Vancouver-3...Calgary-2 WE WON

After a long awaited arrival, Stephen, Mom, Dad and I made our way to Calgary to watch the Vancouver/Calgary game on January 2nd. Although the drive was long (and terribly boring! WOW it is flat), it was well worth it. The game was a blast! We met a lot of really crazy Calgary Flames fans, all of which resented us and the fact that we were cheering for the Canucks! It didn't help that we were wearing our jerseys:) We got yelled at a few times, but thankfully we didn't have to prove ourselves, the Canucks did that for us! We won, and Dad's team lost! haha He was out numbered 3-1, what was he thinking anyway! We ended up meeting up with some friends from Calgary who were also at the game afterward at Moxies for dessert.

Hopefully we can take in many more NHL games, I am definitly hooked now!....GO VANCOUVER GO!!!
