Christmas 08

2008-12-27T17:56:00.000-08:00

So this year was my first christmas ever without my family..... Yes it was tough but not as tough as I thought. Thanx to the best room-mates ever, Jeff and Malissa. I was feeling down on Christmas eve, and Jeff and Malissa both gave me BIG hugs to help me feel better:D they also helped get my mind off things.. if you guys ever read this I love you both, and am so greatfull and happy to have such good friends like you guys out here. I am not saying that you guys back home arn't good freinds cause you are... you guys were so hard to leave, and I do love you all. I am just saying my new room-mates r awsome. lol....
So speaking of my room-mates they just had a new baby girl on the 25th of November.. and she is adorable, just like her older sister, those 2 girls r the cutest.
So as we leave 2008 and enter 2009, I want to wish everyone a awsome year, and hope all goes well for everyone, and for my friends back home I hope to see most of you while I am home in the summer... if all goes well. :D

Merry Christmas, and Happy new Year everyone

LOVE U ALL

UPDATE

2008-06-27T09:05:00.000-07:00

OK so I have no clue if anybody is even looking at this anymore because I havn't updated it since Christmas time. Crazy I know, but things picked up at work and got a bit busy. Since then for those who don't know I got promoted at work almost 4 months ago to entry level managment. I still love my job a lot.
I got my lisence around the same time as being promoted, So I no longer have to get rides from others I can come and go as I want. I love the freedom. I don't love paying for gas to much and my car payment, but thats life.
I also want to inform you that another big change is goin to most likely be happening to me again.. My step dad got a job offer back in Toronto, so it is a good possibilty that a move back to Ontario will be happening. BUT don't get to excited because that move will not include me. As of right now Ontario is not somewhere I see my self and am currently not ready to move back to Peterborough. That does not mean somewhere down the road I will not move back there. I just am not ready to leave my job, as I can see my self progressing upwards in work. I recently had the oppertunity to do so, as there was a opening for a supervisor position, but at this point I felt I was not fully ready for all the responsibilty I would have to have. I have no dought in my mind that I could do the job no problem, I am just not ready at this point.
So on that note I will once again be moving out on my own, so if any of you plan on coming out to Calgary and need a place to stay let me know. I will be looking for a room-mate out here again, and have to check with them and make sure it is cool I have overnight guests for a bit, but I am sure whoever i room would be ok.. HEHE.

Well I think thats all I have for now...

TALK TO U SOON again if anyone even reads this

Happy New Year

2007-12-31T21:05:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone... I miss u all tons
Hope everyone has a awsome 2008

Merry Christmas

2007-12-25T01:35:00.000-08:00

I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New year.

I miss you all from back home, and I hope ur holidays r good to you.

LOVE U ALL

Update on the boys and things

2007-12-16T13:39:00.000-08:00

I don't know if anyone is still reading this thing, I know its been a while since I have updated it. Over a month. So I thought I would come on and give you and update on Liam and how the surgery went. For thoese of you who do not read my brother, and sister-inlaws blog, Liam's recovery was going really well, and they thought they would have him home in a week. It ened up being around 3 weeks. His one tube would not stop draining, so they had to keep him in the hospital till that finished draining. Once that was done they were able to take him home, but he was still sick with what they thought were early signs of pneumonia which is not good, and put Liam through more pain due to him insision (i think i spelt that right its just not coming to me today lol) So the doctors put him on antibiotics to help get rid of that, and I assume he is doing much better now, I havn't heard of it getting any worse. All I am hearing is good things on how much happier he is now after his surgery. Which is good for Matt and Mare.
As for me I am still at grand&toy now off the night shift, and for a week my shift had changed, and I was on 4-12:30, but then they wanted my brother and I to switch to 1-9:30, so thats wat I am doin now, and I absoulutly love it. My job is good. Although I do miss all my friends from Mickey D's. (if any of u r reading this) Calgary is goin well, kinda boring at times cause I still only know my co-workers, but I have been able to get in a few hockey games with my family. The first night all 4 of us went, but the tickets were kinda split up so my dad and brother sat in one section, and my mom and I sat in another, then the second time Matt(my other brother Matt) and I went, then the last time all 4 of us went again, but this time all sat together. The Calgary Hitmen games are the games we went to... The Flames r so expensive.. So i just watch them on tv lol.

Anyways WOW can u belive Christmas is in 9 days... Where has this year gone.??

well i can't think of to much more to add in here so I am gonna leave u with pix of my adorable nephews.
TAKE CARE EVERYONE I MISS U ALL

Liam

2007-11-13T14:20:00.000-08:00

I just got a e-mail through facebook from the pray for Liam group, so who ever is not a part of that group here is the e-mail i recieved

Well Liam is out of the O.R. only a 4 hour surgery and he is doing GREA! I will post picture later on. Right now he is in the CCU recoving and will wake up tomorrow morning. Thank you all for your prayers and thanks to my family and most of all thanks to GOD for getting us through this hard day. God is amazing! Keep posted

Again on behalf of my brother and sister-in law thank you to all who kept them in your prayers. I know it is greatly apprecated.

When I find out more I will let you know

Calling in the prayers again

2007-11-05T12:35:00.000-08:00

On November 13th, my little nephew Liam is going to be having his heart surgery, for his TOF. Today he is up at Sick Kids for his pre-op. So if you could remember Liam in your prayers, and his mom and dad (my brother and sister-inlaw), and his twin brother Zefram, that would be greatly apprecated. This poor guy has gone through so much already, being in the hospital for 4 months of his life, and now he is goin back. I sometimes wonder why babies have to go through this, but then I remember God has a plan for everyone, and all this is happening for a reason.

Thanx everyone.

This is Liam

LONG TIME

2007-09-18T15:37:00.002-07:00

So I know its been a really long time since I have posted a blog on here, but I have been kinda busy out here. Since my last blog when I said I had a job interview at a bakery, well that day as I was getting ready for it, I got a call from the Grand&Toy Warehouse, asking me if I would like a job, so I said I would get back to them, because I still had the interview to go to. So I went to the interview, but it was as good as a job as I had thought, so I turned that one down and now I am working nights at grand&toy, and I love it. I am finally out of McDonald's and I feel great. Although I do miss all my friends from there, I don't miss the work. Other then work things are going really well out here, my step-brother moved out here almost 2 weeks ago, so untill we get a house, or new apt we are kinda in tight corders, seeing as it is only a 2 bedroom apt, Matt and I are both hoping for a house, cause Matt brought up the idea of getting a german shepard, and I really want a dog 2. Last weekend we all went up to Banff to go around the different lakes, and see the moutains. It was so nice out there. I love the moutains, up a bove is a pic of them, but for some reason I can't get it to move down. O well

Well I miss you all

Take care

Here

2007-08-29T16:14:00.000-07:00

I am here in Calgary, I got in at 9ish last night. After a bit of a delay at the airport in Toronto, it was a little longer then 4 hours. So by the time we got back it it was kinda late, and the internet was down so I had to wait till today to come online and e-mail people, and post this blog. So today I went out with my mom and step-dad today and handed out over 18 resumes, and I already have a job interview tomorrow at 1:30 at a bakery. I hope I get it, b/c it smelt so good, and looks like a good place to work. The lady that I talked to seemed really nice, and it was pretty much just after I left there that she e-mailed me and called me. So thats good news. I am just gonna wait to see what happens with all the other places that I handed in resumes.

WISH ME LUC K

miss u guys

GOODBYE PTBO, HELLO CALGARY

2007-08-12T16:53:00.000-07:00

goodbye Peterborough

FINALLY

2007-08-07T17:41:00.000-07:00

Well I am finally gonna get to go see my nephews. I am so excited, at first I had a lil scare and didn't think I would be able to becuase I had to work and was having trouble finding someone to take my shift, but thanx to Amanda, who is possibly gonna work a double is making it possible for me to go see Matt, Mary and the twins... not 100% about seeing Liam as he is still in the hospital, but at least I get to see Zef, and say goodbye to Matt and Mare.

I will have pix when i get back

Prayers needed

2007-07-16T19:13:00.001-07:00

So I know it has been a while since I have updated this.... well a week I guess, but on my last blog I said Liam was finally goin to be goin home, well I found out I belive Wednesday night from Mary that he was not able to go home, because he had another spell and the doctor was concerened and didn't want to send him, therefore keeping him at home away his mom and dad and his brother, and making it over 11 weeks in the hospital. Although I am not a parent, and I don't know exactly what my brother and sister in-law are goin through, I know they are hurt deep down, although they try to act strong and not show their true feelings, I can only imagine what it is doing to them both emotinaly and mentaly, always wondering how their little boy is doing in the hospital, and not having him home with his brother.
So I post this blog tonight requesting prayers for them, to have the countinuous strength to deal with this, and for Liam to be better, and home with his mom, dad, and brother.

Thank you

This is them all in the hospital, hoping soon to be at home where they belong

Welcome home Liam

2007-07-09T15:07:00.000-07:00

So I found out today from my sister in-law that Liam if finally able to go home... He is been in the hospital his whole life... which is accually like 2 months, but I mean its a good thing, cause he is were he can be monitored, that way if anything was to go wrong he is right there, and mom and dad wouldn't have to panic.. there has been 2 times where he thought he could go home, but somehting went wrong both times, but now its for real and he can go home :D:D I am so excited, cause I can go see the boys, and now hopefully things will be a lil easier for Matt and Mare, cause they have had to go back and forth to the hospital all the time, plus have one in the hospital still. So in a way things become easier, but a lil more hecktic at the same time, cause they will now have both boys at home.
So Thursday is the big day.... wish Matt and Mare luck

I am praying for you guys to...(Matt and Mare)

Love you guys(Matt and Mare)

SAD

2007-07-04T20:21:00.000-07:00

Well i just found out today that one of my really good friends is leaving for Alberta, where he has a job waiting for him, and by the time he is done he will end up in Toronto, which seems fine and everything, but I mean I won't see him before I leave. All this happened tonight, and he leaves tomorrow :( This sux, but I mean he really needs this job and it pays really well. So I am happy for him, but at the same time sad, which is why I am up at this time blogging, when ussually I am sleeping b/c i have to get up early for work, but I can't sleep I am to emotional.

Well i am gonna get a drink of water, and try and get to sleep... YA RIGHT

ttyl

Calgary

2007-06-23T12:07:00.000-07:00

Well I now know when I am moving to Calgary..... I know there has been different dates set as to when I am moving..... But not anymore. I know when I am goin. I booked my flight today.. I leave August 27. My plane leaves at 6:30. I am so excited about it, but at the same time very sad, I am goin to miss all my friends, and family soooo much. I will keep in contact with all of you. E-mail and facebook are wonderfull things. Ya know it hit me the other day I will be goin to a place where I will know nobody besides my parents. Some people have told me I will have no problem making friends, and I have a great personality, and a part of me belives them, I know I will meet to people and should have some friends within no time..... Hopefully, but they will not replace any of you guys, you guys are the best friends I have ever had.

OK now we need some happy news, My nephew Liam should be able to come home soon.... the poor guy has been in the hospital his whole life so far and that really sucks, but Matt and Mare figure they should have him home in a week or two. I hope he does come home soon, cause I havn't seen my little men yet. :( So i need to get up to see them, but I have been waiting till Liam comes home first so I could see them both at the same time, cause it will proably be the only time i get to see them for a very long time.... another reson why I am sad to be goin to Calgary.

I have a couple pictures that Matt and Mare put up on their blog, and facebook..

this is Liam and Zefram at the hospital, Liam is in the blue, and Zef is in the yellow.... arn't they so cute?????

this is one of my fav pix, it is Matt and Zefram, it is so cute, cause they are looking right at each other, perfect father son moment, my one friend said it looks like its the first serious father son talk...

They are so cute

Well bye for now

LOVES YA ALL

Freaky

2007-05-29T14:34:00.000-07:00

OK so there is this guy that take the same bus I do every morning, and we talk on the bus ya know nothing to major...... I was kinda freaked out at first cause he mentioned us having the same colour of eyes, and he said it was one of his best qualities..... after that the conversations were pretty normal, we would talk about work and the new hospital being built, and stuff like that, then last week it was wierd he asked me if I had a bf, and I was mad at Leif, and wasn't thinking about it, and just said no. Then today he asked me how old I was, and again not thinking anything about it, said 20, then we started talking about school and things, and how I was in college for a yr, and I droped out cause it wasn't for me..... Then we got up near the hospital, and he asked me what I was doin tomorrow night, and I said I duno, then he asked me if I wanted to go out for supper with him...... and I was stunned, I didn't know wat to say, so I said I duno i will have to see...... it was the first thing I could think of. I mean I don't even know this guy, his name or his age, so it is kinda freaky. I think he may be in his 30's, but I don't know for sure, so if he asks me tomorrow, I am gonna say I can't because my grandma's birthday is Thursday, and we are goin out, for supper tomorrow night so......

Hopefully that will work.... I am kinda scared to take the bus tomorrow though.... EEK

Why?????

2007-05-24T14:28:00.000-07:00

Why are most guys insesitive jerks??? My current bf..... soon to be ex, has to be one of the biggest jerks out there. I am pretty sure he lied to me about breaking up with this one chick, and is dating her and me. All I ever hear is " I saw Leif and "this chick" together the other day" I mean you tell me if you break uo with someone do you contiune to spend lots of time with them, cause I was under the impression that ya don't..... and today they came into my work, and he called my cell twice to tell me he was there, and he thought I was on my break..... Like common do I really wanna spend my break with you and the person who is suposed to be your ex..... No I don't think so, and for the past 2 weeks any time I called him to hang out he said he was busy or he would try. Like he just got a new job, and I understand he is busy with that, but when he had time off I would think he would wanna come and see me....., but Nope, I havn't seen him in almost 3 weeks, minus today for the 2 seconds i saw him in the lobby at work... And everybody is telling me to break up with him, and I wanna, but at the same time I wanna talk to him, and let him know how he is making me feel, and get some kind of expliation on why he lied to me, and if he even cares how much he hurt me, and the hardest thing about this whole thing is I still love him, so its like I don't wanna dump him, but I know I should..... I am hoping he comes up tonight so I can talk to him, I have told him we need to talk, and we can't just keep shoving this aside, cause I am really hurt..

Well wish me luck

My Nephews
