So the update. We are married. Tomorrow will be 4 months! Married life is great. There really is no change.. we are the same people we were a year ago. Just as busy and life is just as hectic. We are really enjoying the fact that I am working closer to home now, and the stress of driving in the winter is a little less. I am still working at the hospital a between 2-3 shifts a pay, and sometimes more depending on the need or them, or me. The 911 gig is going great, I am LOVING it and really enjoying working with the ladies and gents of OPS.
Lennox is 1 year & 8 months old - she is still crazy as ever! I cannot tell you how smart she is, well I can - but the examples would be never ending. She is very suggestive when she is ready to play {brings you toys and sets them on your lap}, wants to go for a walk {goes and sits at the front door, by her hanging leash} ect. She also is very attentive with when Neil should be coming home from work, and often lurks around the front door until he makes the driveway when she goes absolutely a-wall like an intruder is about to invade - nevertheless, she is just so excited to see him - she can barely contain herself.
Holy snow, everyone thought it would never come.. well guess what my friends - it's here. We have had some crazy accumulation in the last week. Neil has been busy as heck at work, which he is still loving. Speaking of loving, he has a new baby - he bought a truck! He is loving his truck, and I am too. He has been looking for a while now, and we found one that we both liked. Anyway, I have to admit I am loving driving it - and wouldn't mind if he wanted to switch cars for the day any time! :) The Blue SX2 is heading to my parents, I think mostly for my brothers use. He is looking forward to having it to boot around in, and it will be perfect for him.
I started reading this blog, a fellow Canadian - those of you who love to laugh - check this one out!! http://www.saigewisdom.blogspot.com/ - her CONFESSIONS post is hilarious!
I have had two very special deliveries in January! Auntie Ashleigh & Uncle Neil DOUBLED our BROOD January 2012. WOOHOO!
We love you guys, so much and are SO HAPPY for you!!
Then new as new, Mr. Eric Andrew came into the world, less then a week ago on January 25th! A second boy (see a pattern) for Pammy & Art, and again I could not be more thrilled for them. Big brother Alex is clearly adoring Eric!! He is not even two yet, but already has a "girlfriend" {above!!} and a best friend {his brother, whether he likes it or not!} We are so proud to be their Auntie Ash & Uncle Neil, Alex & Eric!!
Aren't these children ADORABLE!?!
So speaking of children, your likly wondering, because everyone seems to be, as is the rest of the world with questions flying my way, left and right every single day! Yes, we're trying!! There's your answer. When we have news, you will all find out!!
Anybody sticking to their "new years resolutions".. I'm really not good at that, so this year I abstained!
However, I am planning to join a "learn to run" clinic in the spring. I actually was fully committed to starting a couple of weeks ago, however my schedule changed a little bit and that prevented me from going to the first three clinics. After speaking to a friend who has done it, I've decided the spring start is the better option for me. So I'm looking forward to that, I really want to do something and I thought this might help me. It would be a great way for me to get out more with Lennox, and gosh does she love running - so she could be my buddy and wouldn't tell anyone how many times I had to stop, or how many bad words I said while we were out. Do any of you run/jog? What are some tricks of the trade when it comes to this? Please help!! I will pre-prepare myself with your advice!!
And before I go, one thing I want to share with you. After a very short yet hard battle with a very aggressive cancer, we {the ladies of the birthing suites at CVH} say a fond farewell to our dear friend Marian. She passed away Novemeber 1st, 2011. I made this tribute to her, to be placed on the Birthing Suites unit at the hospital. I have worked with Marion for 8 years, she was a wife to Alvin and a mother to a beautiful 5 year old girl, Francesca. When I lived in Missisauga, she lived just around the corner from me. I'd drop her off at home after night shifts sometimes, she was the sweetest person. Her smile was infectious. She was a great nurse, and a great friend. She will always be in my heart.
Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers always.
Ok, I better stop here.
See - so much to say, no commitment.
I will blog again, therefore I will continue my commitment.
As mentioned, {Jen K, Amanda A, Natalie F, Jackie C.. } I wouldn't mind if you followed suit.
Love,
