last few pics of abby (fun times with thiessen cousins!) and some random babbling about life

here are a few pics of my last night in abby, mom and dad had some of my cousins and their significant others over for dinner (turkey dins- my fave) and it was super fun... a highlight my dad making his own specialty martini (basicly just everything mixed together and then shaken up- he made my cousin jess' fiance adam drink one bahaha) oh also my dad let me take a picture of him, rare moment. jess, adam and i and some of our friends went to see the movie catch and release after dinner which was also awesome if you ask us... if you ask adam he would beg to differ since he was pretty much sleeping through the whole thing! fun times. im back in medicine hat right now and basicly already bored out of my mind... blogging, eating blueberry eggos and watching the breakfast club for the umpteenth time in my life. BUT!!! i get to go see my WONDERFUL HUSBAND in 22 DAYS!!!! so so SO excited. we have never sepent this much time apart from each other since we have known each other and we pretty much spent the first year and a half of our mairrage eating, sleeping, working and playing together so this time apart has been super hard but also good i think. we are appreciating each other more and more which i didnt think we could so its great to see our relationship evolving and growing on different levels. i have never missed anyone so much in my life and i am SO excited to see him. hahahah if you havent seen breakfast club or havent seen it in a long time you have to watch it... very funny classic movie. my favorite character is the geek. go watch it. thanks for reading my random blog!

love this video- can you do somthing?

i first saw bono and alicia keys do this song on oprah and i was so moved not by the super stars singing the beautiful song (although they are extrordinary) but the images in the video are so powerful. my husband and i were just talking tonight about our hopes and dreams, things we want to do with our time together and ways we want to help and bless others and we have these friends in rawanda who built and are running this school program there and we think about them all the time and can't wait till we have an oppertunity to help them. anyways, as i was thinking about that tonight & this video popped into my head and i wanted to share it. makes you think about daily choices we make and freedom we have. if you are reading this you are so blessed- share it.

update from BC part deux (more pics)

update from BC

well my time in abbotsford is almost up! i have been "back home" (its kinda weird cause it really doesnt feel like home anymore even though i grew up here for so many years) for over a week now and its been tons of fun. i got to hang out with allot of old friends and see my family who i havent seen for the most part since the end of august. my cousin sara got married on saturday so i had a blast at her wedding and even getting ready for it with my little sister. spent a couple of nights at my little sisters place in kerrisdale down in vancouver which was great, i got to see where she works and just hang out with her at her place... very surreal. my cousin jess and her fiance adam came out to van because we were planning on going up to cyprus (sp?) for the day to go showshoeing but it didnt pan out because of rain (i have realized how much i love the dry cold SUNNY weather in AB rather than being a drowned rat out here on the coast this week, sorry!) but we hung out in vancouver... had some fun on granville island and had some good laughs. ive spent some down time at my parents place and got to see my cousin mark and his wife bonnie last night and play with their son ben who i have posted some adorable pics of. and of course i have visited with all of the grandparents and spent some one on one time with my parents, gone out for dinner to our favorite places and stuff like that. oh! and hung out with my brother and sister in law. im looking forward to this summer when i will be around more than just 10 days and joben will be with me. i have been realizing just how much that guy is my absolute best friend in life. with him being out of town it has been really hard but kinda cool too because its definitly making our hearts grown fonder for each other (didnt know that was possible!) well, wnough of the mushy stuff. joben is doing fin up in the far north of alberta, it was really hard on him at first and struggled with working rediculous hours with no time off and on top of that having nothing familiar around him except the guy he is working with and missing me too. hes kinda getting the hang of things i think, the logging camp where he is staying sounds suprisingly nice and he is fed well and everything and i have made plans to go see him about two and a half weeks and then again in march so things seem a little easier to bear with looking forward to that. plans for the summer are awesome too look forard to too. my sister in law is graduating from trinity in april (yay anya!!) and joben will be done this job by then so we will be able to all celebrate together then (my parents in law are comming out from NC for a couple of weeks then too!) and then joben is doing a short stint of foremaning up planting for the last time this summer and i will be visiting him lots in princegeorge as well as hanging out at my parents place up in the okanogan and camping with friends and stuff. we are going to be spending mid-end of june in southern bc and im much anticipating my cousin jess's wedding in june (pics of her and her fiance adam are bellow!) then july will be in alberta where joben will be working a contract that month but i will be with him so that will be awesome and august is pretty much off so we will be hangning around be for the first half and NC for jobens 10 year highschool reunion with TONS of peru friends that he hasnt seen forever there so yeah, this summer seems to look like its going to be a GREAT time. it makes times like these a little easier to bear looking forward to a summer like THAT. anyways, ill quit boring you with all of this mumbo jumbo... hope you enjoy my photos of this past week! it was lots of fun and a still haev a couple of days left, lucky me!!!

lynette and i

awwww i was going through my pictures to find a picture of my hot husband without a shirt on as per my couin mark's request (dont ask:)) and i found this pic of me and my cousin lynnette and since she is SO FAR AWAY and i miss her i thought i would post it for her. thinking about you lynnette and kyle! everyone always mistook her and i as twins when we were little but i dont think we look alike anymore, we both grew into our own looks and i love this pic. see you in less than a year guys...oh! the reason why i thought of you gusy today was because i was in an asian market and they had seaweed on sale for 50% off and because of your recent sushi obsession post it made me think of you guys. also im at my parents house for a visit and i got the christmas car that you guys sent and LOVE the pic- im going to put it up on my fridge as soon as i get home, thanks guys!!!

everybody except for my cousin mark can disregard this post!

here ya go mark... this ones for you!!

lame blogg

so i havent posted in a little while. christmas break was AWESOME... i took three weeks off of work and joben was off too bedcause he was inbetween two jobs. we spent two weeks with mom and dad barkey and the fam in north carolina and THEN when i got home my husband and brother and sister in law suprised me with a visit from my bro and sis in law josh and anya. i was SO suprised and excited, it was fun to have them here and show them where we live and spend new years with them and stuff. they left on the 2nd and then jo-ben and i had like 4 more days together and he left to go out of town for work for the next three months. it was really hard to see him go but i havent gotten as upsett as i thought i would be. im going to bc next week for 10 days and i have been working lots so ive been keeping busy and looking forward to my trip so yeah. thats pretty much it for me. nothing really new and exciting happening other than passing time as quickly as i can! joben is doing well- he had strep too and worse than i did and it doesnt help that hes working outside in like -40 but he is getting better and likes working with rod allot better than with the last guy he worked with. this blogg is lame, sorry im not in the mood to write. well, at least i got out the jest of it. bye!
