Leave it to me to open my big mouth at work and tell a friend that so far I haven't gotten any of the crazy viruses that have been going around. The next day I wake up with a sore throat and icky cough!!!! NOooooo!!!!!Well, maybe it will force me to spend some time at home and FINALLY get caught up on my photo project. I haven't failed yet, but I really need to post almost all of february and up

I went to a "Wellness Consultation" at my gym, they measured me up and I have lost a grand total of 14.5 inches.I don't see it personally, but the measurements are there! So go me!

Well I don't feel as invisible anymore.Having a weird week though, not in the best headspace. I really want to be taking more pictures, because I find picture-taking therapeutic but lately I've just barely managed to get my one-a-day... I stopped posting on here because I'm already posting on Facebook and Flickr, so I'll just post the ones I really really like now and then. Plus I still don't

Ok no, not fired at all... just reminded me of The Apprentice! Callie is my first person on project 365, because it was her birthday party today! Her birthday was really on New Year's Eve, but since everyone always has their own plans she made her party for tonight. We went out for dinner at a really neat Irish pub in Abbotsford. A very cool building, inside and out. Our party got to sit at this

Today we had a few friends over for movies, popcorn, and fun times. I wanted to try out my new Magic Bullet blender from Christmas, so we bought everything we would need to make bellinis. I must say, for a first attempt, they were sooooo good! We only really had enough fruit for one drink per person, which was probably a good thing since I'm fairly sure I made my Magic Bullet angry...

OK so this is probably the most random picture ever. So here's the story: My co worker was trying to un-clump a block of shredded cheese that had been in the freezer. After a few smacks against the counter we had an EXPLOSION of cheese when the bag broke. I included the elephant because today is Thursday and I wanted to participate in Inspire Me Thursday from last week. It's a neat site that

Today the weather started to actually act like a real British Columbia winter. It rained. And rained, and rained. I'm sad, I really liked the snow! Maybe it will come again this season!Bonus Picture: (aka the other one I couldn't choose between... I like this blog so I can post my "rejects")

School officially starts today. And so does procrastination. I hate the feeling, but always do it. I don't know why. Maybe this semester will be different... ha!It's not my favourite picture thus far, but I had to get something in today. You'd think with a snow day I would've been all over the picture taking thing, but I had such a lazy day... didn't want to do anything!

Well we decided to clean up from Christmas, and put it all away until next year. Who knows where we will be when we pull this stuff all out again, we are hoping it will be in our very own place, but we'll see what God wants. :) Goodbye Christmas! Hello 2009!I got distracted from my cleaning and had some fun...Aah all this Christmas clean up makes me dizzy.

Jason went for a snow hike today that I would've gone on as well if I actually owned a pair of waterproof hiking boots. But I don't. So I stayed home. I decided eventually to see if I could get out to the main roads and grab myself a Starbucks, and possibly find somewhere to take pictures of the glorious snow that is still falling! I cannot believe how much snow we have had so far, it's crazy! I

Today I wanted to take a picture of snow and sun, because that pretty much sums up my day. It started with driving to work in a blizzard, and then later drove home looking at a beautiful blue sky and sunshine. It was beautiful. Unfortunately I only caught the tail end of the sun, but I enjoy the picture because it is all about Maple Ridge. Even though I don't think it's my best shot of the day, I

Happy New Year!!So I am going to try something starting today. It's called Project 365. There are groups on Flickr dedicated to this project, based on the premise that photographers will take and post a picture every day for a year. Sometimes they are theme related, such as people who decide to take a self-portrait for a year, or some who take pictures of their hobby every day... Mine is just to

Angie wanted me to take pictures of her and her brothers for Christmas, so we went to a new favourite spot (thanks to Crystal's pictures of Jason and me!) and I tried my best! I had fun playing with photoshop afterwards, here's some of what I did! (There are several... I couldn't choose!)Thanks Angie for giving me the chance to practice!! :)

Recently I've learned about Bokeh. Here's the definition from Flickr:Bokeh (derived from Japanese bokeaji ボケ味, "blur") is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens.[1] Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary

Today I went with my mom to Vancouver to meet the newest addition to our family. Her name is Abbey, and she is a "Shorkie" ... part Shi-tzu + part Yorkie = 100% adorable. She really reminds us of what Sparkle looked like when she was a puppy. It's funny, because both my mom and I were looking up names on the exact same website at our own houses and both of us came up with Abbey as a possibility,

I've been so busy with homework lately, I cannot wait until this semester is over and I can actually have a weekend!I've started to become addicted to perusing Flickr for awesome photos... That's the site my computer's on in the background. Daydreaming while procrastinating leads me to plan out the ideal day...

Ok so I was asked to take pictures for a family from church, to be used in their Christmas cards. We had limited time, for those who know them will know how busy their life is, so I had a window of maybe about a half an hour to take some pictures. The lovely Crystal lent me her Canon 50mm f1.4 so I was pretty excited. That being said, I didn't really know how it worked... but hopefully I will

It was Halloween.But it was a Wednesday night, (leap year this year) and we were forced to move from a flea-infested basement suite because the landlord lady was going to charge us 2 days rent if we stayed til Friday. We got home from work at 6pm, and had to move everything in our cars. We had to navigate the streets filled with ghosts, witches, dora's and backyardigans to get to the other side

Cory my fellow photographer friend wanted me to post some pictures of what I've been taking pictures of. I still am learning a lot, and I keep looking back at pictures from maybe a month ago saying "I can do so much better!!!" ... but here are a few from a month or so ago when I got up ridiculously early to take pictures of morning fog.

On October 6, 2008 I got to experience one of the most amazing nights since I became a Christian. I got to attend the Passion World Tour. I hadn't heard of it before, until I happened to hear about it on the radio, they mentioned a conference for young adults. I was really excited about something geared for this age group, because there rarely is anything specifically for us. I was excited to

OK so I was doing so well before school started.I'm learning lots. Not only about Infants and Toddlers, but also about matters concerning Christianity and where I stand, what I believe, etc. I have taken to listening to podcasts, radio shows, and reading transcripts of past sermons from various preachers and I must say I have never been so thirsty for knowledge.Maybe one day I will feel confident

I've always loved fall, I used to absolutely adore going to school, getting new stationery, pens, pencils... literally I was the Staples guy singing "It's the most wonderful time of the yearrrr!" ... and I was a student. Yes people, I was (am?) a nerd.I find myself in that place again, only this time I didn't buy new pens and pencils, I bought myself a laptop! It's not the mac that I've coveted

Sooo we had an offer on a place.Long story short, we were about $4750 short of what we needed for a down payment because we didn't qualify for 100% financing. All in all, it was confusing.So we're renting.In Maple Ridge.Until we buy, maybe next year.I'm really not that disappointed, other than not having the plasma tv that came with the place we had an offer on, and the fact that we can't get a

Because I didn't bring my camera to the Jack Johnson concert on Thursday, I thought I would describe to you the picture I would have taken.Looking down on Thunderbird Stadium from the bleachers, the ocean of people that grew denser towards the stage and moved to its own rhythm.The stage lit in blues, reds, greens, and yellows, with screens displaying photographs of waves crashing, flowers in

These are our friends' puppies, Wiggy (short for Mrs. Wiggles) and Zuki. Wiggy is the pug, they've had her for several years now, but they just adopted Zuki into their family, so we went for a walk on the dikes. She's 7 months old and very playful, as you can tell from this picture! :)It made me smile, so I thought I'd share this one. It was a rare moment where they weren't zooming past me,

2 years ago this past Tuesday I married the love of my life! It was the ultimate Adventure Day!We celebrated by going to the Keg for Lobster Summer... It's become a bit of a tradition. I'll use any excuse to eat lobster (however so far the anniversary thing seems to be the only one that works) and so far we've gone to 3 different Kegs to celebrate our marriage. On our honeymoon we ate lobster at

So that was a great idea a few days ago, if I could actually stick to a plan.I don't have a picture from last week but I do have a picture I've worked on this week, it was taken at the end of July when we went up to Penticton to witness our friends from Kamloops get married. Andrew and Kailyn were our adventuring friends in the 'Loops, always up for a crazy adventure or guitar hero. Made us feel

Jason and I have been casually looking around at condos to buy out in Mission/Abbotsford. We went looking today and found one we like, it's the first one we've wanted to put an offer on. It's not very big but it has everything we need for now... and it's in Mission, which is better for us anyways... I think? uuughhh there are just too many things to think about in this whole process!!! My brain

So I've been thinking about my blog lately, which I guess is a good thing! I had a new idea for it, because creating that title banner was a lot of fun, and I actually ended up with a few different ones in the process... So I decided that I will try to change that banner every month, perhaps with a monthly theme, or perhaps just one I like at the time. We'll see... It will help me with my design

Ok I promised Joanne I would post something more happy than my previous post. So here I am. Unfortunately I'm super tired and want to read my new book (Breaking Dawn, the last of the 4 books in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer - Twilight will soon be a movie!) so this post won't be the longest ever. But things ARE happy! Busy, loving work... Looking into moving closer. That either means

I really don't blog enough hey? I bet no one reads this anyways.Today was a sad day. A friend is gone, and the only word that goes through my head is "Why?" ... it doesn't make sense, but as Jason said, not everything is supposed to make sense.Just yesterday we had a conversation about telling others about Jesus. About our fears, our reservations, our insecurities.How poignant that message now is

Right. So I have this blog that I never update.Too bad I'm now too addicted to the O.C. to post something of worth.Just kidding, I'll take a little break between episodes on this Friday evening spent converting my husband from OC-basher to OC fan. I think I'm about halfway. We've watched at least 4 episodes tonight, and he only complains when something sad or deep is happening. I think he's as

So my last post I was thinking of all our ups and downs and crazy adventures God's taken us on... well we're about to embark on another one. Here it is people, all official:WE ARE MOVING BACK.Yes, that's right. 4 months later, after unpacking my closet (finally), I have to re-pack it and move back. Don't get me wrong people, I'm quite happy to do so. Basically J's job was not working out (not

...I said "Forever" to the man of my dreams. I can't believe it's been a year already... it's been a year of ups and downs, of learning, but most of all discovering how amazing God is, and growing in Him. He's taken us through a lot, and through it all we've had to learn to lean on each other and our faith.I'm excited for the next year together, and then many more after that!

Planned Nothingness so far has been awesome... we've just been hanging out and taking life as it comes. Friday night we went to watch a friend play soccer, and unfortunately hurt his ankle in the process. Afterwards we went to a restaurant for 2 for 1 appies. We had a smorgasbord of food between J and I... I ordered spring rolls and garlic ribs, and J ordered Shrimp and Crab Kisses (mushrooms

Ok, so July was a slack-off month but this month I'll try to be better. We are booked almost solid every weekend from now until September... This coming weekend however, is planned Nothingness. We considered making plans because it's the long weekend but decided to just chillax around Kamloops and get some stuff done. I like that idea. 3 days of sleeping in, and just hanging out sounds fantastic

Ok here are some pictures of our July thus far:Camping on the Canada Day long weekend with friendsVisiting J's parents for his dad's 50th Crazy thunderstorms and dust storms (this pic was taken during what was said to have been the worst thunderstorm in a decade. It doesn't do the storm any justice, that cloud was a huge black ball of dust, and I saw 4 lightning strikes at the same time. The

Today was a mere 41 degrees.I was hot.I was cranky.I was sweaty.And then I discovered (after two months of living here and dealing with a hot dwelling place) that we have central air conditioning.Felt like a tool for not knowing that, but at least I'm not boiling anymore. BEST DAY EVER!

... and I'm tired. And although I have things I'd love to blog about, like the long weekend camping trip, and my week's happenings, I just don't have the energy. Today was only 34 degrees, but tomorrow's supposed to be 38 or higher. And it's so DRY here. It's time for sleep in front of our tiny fan...

Ahh what a weekend. I'm glad I didn't have to work on Monday because as of last Friday I had come down with the nasty cold going through the daycare. (I thought I'd last longer than a week but apparently my immunity has worn off.) After the crazy weekend, complete with its lack of sleep, excessive dancing, and social madness, I was wiped out.Friday: -Off work at 3, picked up new hot dress for

So I had an interview today at 10am. Went to that, was basically offered another job. (That brings the total of offered jobs to 6) I told her I would get back to her as I had another interview tomorrow and needed to mull it over a little bit. She wanted me to work a 6:30am shift, which I'm not entirely crazy about, but I do need a job so I said I'd get back to her. I have not been to an interview

Ok so the reason I was trying to post daily (or close to) was because when I don't, I feel like I have too much to say when I finally do blog.Went camping Friday night with a young adults group we've been going to. It was a ton of fun, except right at the end when we were playing "aluminum foil baseball" (ball was made from all the aluminum foil off of about 20 corn-on-the-cobs we had on the fire

So I decided I would participate in this radio contest where you create a Facebook group and see how many people join it. The person with the most number of people in their group by July 3rd wins $5000 ... Now I didn't make my group with any slight thought that I had a chance of winning, more to just see what would happen if I did try. Because you can't win if you don't enter right? Well, I found

Who needs to go for a run when you can just clean a bathtub?? That's what I did today and I think I'm more sore from that than my one hour run yesterday. Let me tell you, this was a project and a half. It gets very dirty very fast when you are married to a mechanic who brings home half a litre of oil and grease on his body every day. yuck.Speaking of yuck, my spider bite is really gross. I'm not

It's been raining for 3 days now... What is this, the Lower Mainland?! I thought I moved to the desert. But it stopped raining for a while so I went for a glorious run! It was about an hour long, but I didn't run the whole thing. Seriously people, Kamloops is full of hills. Last summer I took up running on the dykes in Pitt Meadows (this year I guess I'd need a boat) and was able to run non-stop

I am not sure when I start yet, my new boss said she would phone me in the next day or two to let me know.

Ahh what a nice weekend! The drive on Friday was really nice, we took a new route to Merritt with lots of beautiful lakes and grasslands. The whole drive I kept looking at Jason with a huge grin, occasionally saying "This feels just like Christmas!!" Seriously people, I know I've been away only just over a month but you guys are just all so awesome. It felt longer. Anyways, we got to the Gregor's

Guess what I did today?! Next to NOTHING! I didn't even get outta my pajamas until 3:30. It's sick, I know. I was just so hot and yucky and tired for some reason today, so I just went on Facebook (of course), watched a couple episodes of Gilmore Girls Season 1, and vegged out. I wasn't lazy all day though, I did go out tonight to a pool party (haha I wrote 'poop' by accident first instead of '

I think I might try the daily - or close to daily updating. We'll see how that goes.I got a call back today and I have a second interview Friday morning. Praying is awesome. Apparently it makes things happen!It's hot here. 33 degrees to be exact. And it's not even June yet.And best news of all: We're going to be in Pitt Meadows this weekend!!!!! I couldn't bring myself to miss Pitt Meadows Day!

Well, another weekend to post about... This time I was actually quite busy!Friday night we went and saw Pirates 3 and it was very good! Afterwards we went to this Irish pub called Kelly O'Bryan's to have 2for1 appies! I tried the famous "Pachos" ... I'm hooked! They were carbo-riffic!! Tasty ... Basically they're like .... french fries ... but not... cut woven-style or something.... with cheese..

Hooray! I have real plans tonight! J and I were invited to go see the new Pirates movie and then out for appies at a popular Irish pub afterwards. We went to a different young adults group (we now go to two...) and the people there are really nice too. It's nice to actually have plans on a Friday night...Also, I hope to be hearing back about a job I would like to get... It's not ECE, so it would

This weekend was a fun one. I had been looking forward to our getaway for a while, especially after feeling kinda down about being "alone" up here. We left Friday evening for Blue Lake Resort, just North of Boston Bar. (I found out during our trip that it's actually owned by a family from Maple Ridge.) We found our site and J's sister and her husband along with our other friends were already

Well this week had some adventures... I've had 3 interviews, but yet to get a job. I did get offered one though, but I would be taking a serious pay cut to what I was before, and I'm just not sure if it's what I want to be doing. I've gotta do some praying. And perhaps while I'm waiting, I'll get some more interviews. That would be nice. Because I'm getting very tired of sitting around

Adventures in Cooking: So last Thursday we went out for coffee with some people from the church we went to last week. One of the girls recommended a cookbook called "The Girl Can't Cook" (And she wants to be a chef, will be going into culinary arts in January, this book was just given to her because it has great recipes in it) Anyways, so I got adventurous. I bought some salmon to make "Grilled

Adventure #1: Save on FoodsOk so Save on doesn't seem like a very adventurous kind of place. And I guess it's not really, we were just amazed at the quality of grocery-carrying devices! They have the traditional basket, as well as a slightly larger basket on wheels with a larger handle to pull behind you! (Like those backpacks and luggage...) Then, when we realized that this crazy basket wasn't

Well, we're here! Finally! Lots to blog about now! Let me start at the beginning: Thursday morning: Got up really early to finish the packing we still needed to do. Went and picked up the truck at 8am. We were aiming to be on the road by noon at this point. Packing the truck took way longer than anticipated. Garret overslept and didn't join us until 10:30 or so, but he was a HUGE help since my

At this point I don't really know what to say, but since I'm moving in 3 days (kinda 1 but I'll explain that in a minute) I felt I needed to post. I've had lots on my mind that I could post about but whenever I sit down to write anything it all disappears.Basically, I'm stressed. I haven't been this stressed since August 11th. We had a plan A for moving transportation, but unfortunate

Last night the announcer on the horrible Canucks game while the Canucks were desperately making their attempt to get just one goal:(With much announcer enthusiasm)"Bodies and sticks flying everywhere!!!!!"That was my favourite part of the night.

Happy Birthday to my husband!! I love you more than a billion dump trucks full of lovely things like friends and chocolate and spring! You're my favourite. :)Here's to another 26, and then another after that, and then some more years too, because I wanna live a long time.

Ok I guess I should post so people don't think I'm always grumpy. I'm not, just a bad day... too bad I don't really have anything to blog about...News... hmmm, let's see... well we've officially moved in with J's parents. Things are going well so far but we are only a week in...Today is Adventure Day... 7 months of marriage, it's flying by! I'm loving every minute ... ok maybe not every minute,

I'm really tired tonight so it's going to be point form...- Got up at 4:24 this morning, went outside to warm up my car, found 6 inches of snow and a frozen door. Had to climb in passenger side to actually drive to work.- Drive took about an hour, it took about as long to get from Abby to Mission as it took to get from Mission to Maple Ridge. There was practically no snow after Mission.- Had

I just wanted to say a big thank you to whoever left the save-on gift certificates on my car the other day. The last two months have been really hard, but what a reminder to have faith! And even when my faith lacks, God still takes care of us. Why do I worry? As J says, it's a waste of time to worry when you could be spending that time having faith that things will work out. So to you, whoever

My weekend showed much promise - a trip away to Pender Island in a nice, quiet cabin with some close friends and family. Last time J wasn't able to go but he was able to this time and I was quite excited to spend some quality time with him, since it's always go go go during the week and we really haven't spent much time together. Unfortunately the weekend didn't exactly go as planned.Friday we

Alright, where do I start? I haven't posted since Valentine's Day, so how about I start with that. I wanted that night to be special, since it's our first Valentine's as a married couple. I worked until 5 so I didn't have a really long time to get ready and I wanted fancy hair. But of course I took too long and missed the appy's... Oh well, my hair was hot! Our table was really fun, 3 out of the

Ok seriously people. - Is it really necessary to sit in the left lane going the exact same speed as the person beside you in the right lane? Quit the slow race, move ahead or behind person on the right and let the person behind you pass.- If the person in the left lane IS in fact attempting to pass the person on the right, please do not come up to within a metre of my car and flash your high

Alright alright, Amelia thinks 10 days is too long to go without a blog, so here I am. Not really even sure what to blog about...I'm coming down with something. I blame Mike - ok only because of his last post... truth is I think I was getting sick before I even saw him this week.Being sick and going swimming is a gross mix. Especially when you constantly have to be within arms reach of a child

and no this post isn't about Jack Bauer... not totally anyways. 24 years ago today in Toronto my mom was listening to Supertramp as she waited for her first daughter to arrive. Hooray, here I am. And I'm beginning to learn that the older you get, the more birthdays become "just another day".I worked a split shift at the daycare, which meant getting up at 4am... no special treatment for the

The goal as of back in October: to start 24 Season 1, and continue until fully up to date before Season 6 started. (January 14) I'm proud to say that as of tonight, we are finally up to date! It's been a long, suspense-filled journey, but we made it. We've laughed, we've cried... Several of my favourite characters are now dead and I'm not impressed. But Jack's still alive. As the guy at the end

Alright, so we've been in 2007 for about a week now and I haven't blogged. Oh, I've had the best intentions to blog, came up with various topics, wanted to do a 2006 recap, but hey, apparently I had better things to do. Like play Guitar Hero. Or lose track of time on YouTube. Look, I don't judge you. But I'm here now.Today was an interesting day... we wanted to clean up around our place, which

Some of you may know that both J and myself are totally addicted to the tv show 24. Well, since Christmas we now have a competing addiction. Guitar Hero has got to be the best video game ever. But it's getting in the way of Jack!!! At least we bought Season 5 so we don't have to worry about late fees this time.

Merry Christmas! This is our beautiful tree I've wanted to post about for weeks now, it's the first real tree I've had in about as long as I can remember. It's huge! I had to just stick a bow up top because there was no room for a tree topper. Oh and those lights, yeah they've been on continuously since Dec 9. Yay for LED!Most of the presents you see there were for me, from all the little kids

Alright so last night was an adventure night and a half. Aerosmith was in town with Motley Crue. I'm not a huge rocker fan, but I would say I'm a moderate fan of some of Aerosmith's stuff. We knew there was a chance of going to the concert but nothing was set in stone (My dad grew up with the guitar player from Aerosmith) But we found out for sure at 4:00 that day that we were getting all-access

Well, some of you might already know all this but it's on my mind so I figured I'd blog.Yesterday I (FINALLY) went to Vespers (I am a good friend, really, I promise)... Heather had prepared a slide show where we were to take a moment (11 minutes to be exact) and pray and reflect on these questions that appeared on the screen. There were 12 in total, I won't include all of them of course, but a

Well my weekend was filled with Christmas... mostly of the cafe variety. Thursday and Friday we rushed off to the church and tried to make it for the first play (I was a singing server) but alas, being in Abbotsford and trying to have dinner before we leave makes for a very rushy night... I was there for all the 2nd performances. It was fun though. We were invited out afterwards on Friday but
