been too long...

I haven't blogged in a very long time... part of it is that what has been happening in my life is difficult to put into words. Some of it is just too sweet to share, it feels like words will somehow diminish the profound awe-inspiring feelings I feel when I think upon the last few months...

I could also say I haven't taken post worthy photography but that isn't really true either ;) I've just been too lazy to upload it...

Anyway... life has been good, so very good. I feel like I am living in the light, no longer searching for the sunrise but basking in it... most days anyway. I have my days where life feels blah and bland but for the most part I am content and that my friends is a beautiful feeling.

We've decided to turn the basement into day care space, it was time to reclaim the dream and use the basement for it's purpose so come September I will have a basement that is both fun and functional and full of little ones with some space for all those teenagers as well ;)

Bobby and I just got back from a lovely long weekend in Waskesui. It was great to walk and relax. It was super quiet as we went the week-end before the long week end. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed a lot of quality time together.

Life has been pretty peaceful I have to say!

Look for another blog tomorrow to share some pretty wonderful stuff in our little world :)

September's Story

I feel like I have written a few blog posts in honour of friends who have passed and sadly I have another. This one is close to my heart and has been percolating for a few days now. It feels sacred somehow and I'm not entirely sure I want to share it just yet so if you read know that for all the missing details and possibly inaccurate ones this is my narrative on what has easily been one of the most abstract and yet important friendships my grown up life. Long ago when the Internet was new, there existed these strange things called message boards where you interacted with complete strangers using whatever pseudonym you desired. I don't even remember how I stumbled across the Steven Curtis Chapman fan boards but I did. We were a grand group of strangers who became friends. There were so many of us. One of the younger ones started a community we fondly called Chapmanville and many of us moved in and claimed residency with fictitious jobs and so much more. It was a virtual world

For Mrs D

Grief has visited me once again. And for all the people I have lost in the last 4 years, this one hurts so differently, so deeply. I didn't know that grief could change my taste buds and make me so afraid to close my eyes. I didn't know you could wake up all ready in tears. This is different. This is the pain of loosing someone who isn't old, who isn't sick but who is your own age and who shares your everyday story, This is different some how. In many ways I am still in shock and survival mode. And so I will write because writing is sometimes the only way I can even begin to let go of the pain. I first met Rose when I was dating one of her cousins. I remember how bright and cheerful Rose was at every family gathering. I really wanted to get to know her but back then my world pretty much revolved around 'the boy.' Fast forward quite a few years... Bobby and I have married, had our beautiful girls and settled  our oldest, AnnaRose into school life at Hillcrest

50 Years

I love celebrating anniversaries, wedding ones in particular. There is just something about honoring the moment two people chose to join together for this lifetime and face whatever is to come there way. Marriage is more than a piece of paper, more than a legal commitment, it is a covenant made before God to be one and to make it last... every year you can look back and say 'we made another year!' is reason to celebrate. Looking back at the highs and lows, the times you were totally on the same page and those times you were just 'broken together.' It's a great day to look forward and dream about what might still be coming your way. Yesterday we celebrated 50 years of marriage with Mom and Dad and will do so again in 7 weeks with the family in Banff but I couldn't let the actual day slip by without honouring the two who have showed me what marriage really looks like. They aren't perfect and Dad would get mad at me if I suggested otherwise but they have al
