I Have A Lovely Brother

We've been having such an amazing Christmas with each other (all of us, not just Ryan and I). My mom got a lap top for Christmas so we've been sitting around playing games and racing each other at puzzles on three different lap tops, how lame! Merry Christmas everyone, lots of love!

Stuff I like:

I like to play with poo.
I like to eat my boogers.
I like to chase cars while barking.
I like to drive like an immigrant.
I like to put my hands in my armpits and then sniff them.
I like to bend over so my butt hangs out.
I like to write nasty things on my brother's blog so he looks like a loser.

I'm learning!

I'm at my parents my brother just posted a very embarissing blog entry but he was well... embarresed so he erased it. It's late and we're tired so I can't spell. Leave me alone. I love comments, thank you all for commenting on my enteries, I love it. I like shopping on the internet. I like shopping a lot. This entery is pointless I'm just trying out the fun stuff my gross brother is teaching me. I'm using his computer and his password for his ignored but still highly popular blog is on here. So I actually posted something about a cheeseball (an entire huge cheeseball). The cheesball resulted in some very high pitched leg lifting farts that drove us all from the living room. Unfortunatly we have three computers in the house right now so he was able to erase it before you could even have the joy of reading it. But now you know the truth. Love you all! Ciao!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!!

I figure since you all are being so wonderful leaving me comments (which is sometimes the absolute highlight of my day) I would write you another blog entry. We're leaving for Calgary TOMORROW!!!! It's 11pm and I still have so much to do, yet here I sit!
- find the needles so I can finish the stockings on the way there
- pack our clothes
- take presents out to car
- figure out what food we're taking and get it ready
- make sandwiches
- drop off treats and cards for three more neighbours
- get a new bank card I lost mine
- call the airline to find out their weight limits (not because of how much we've been eating, but because I finally ordered Katelyns crib and we have to bring it home from Oregon with us)
- get a good nights sleep
- clean my house, I hate coming home to a dirty house after holidays!

So I really shouldn't be writting anymore, but I wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas if I didn't get the chance later. This picture isn't super recent but it's the one I sent in Christmas cards so I didn't want to spoil the surprise, but uhh yea I realize now that was pretty pointless.
This are going great lately by the way. The past few weeks have been weird. I feel so happy and content yet we're dealing with all this crap we didn't even realize was there. It's just this weird distance we have with eachother and it's hard to realize it's there. Last night my friend Chanda (I think I still have the link to her blog, if not I'll put it back) came over. God really used that time to change my heart and show me my horribly selfish attitude lately. Thank you Chanda! Honestly it was just one of those amazing times when God really speaks to you. We had such a good talk and such a good talk with God, I could just feel His spirit fill the house. Afterwards Matthew and I talked and again we both just got shivers and felt Gods presence so strong with us. I realize how lazy I've been with my relationships lately. I realized that being with God can be addictive and exciting and it doesn't have to be something you make yourself do. I want that excitment in my relationship with Him. I want to crave Him more. Another cool thing was hearing again and having it really sink in the fact that we are not condemned but FREE!!! What a feeling! When I meet with God I should feel His grace and love not his condemnation. Also that God wants to meet with me even more than I want to. He's just waiting for me to fall on my knees and I'm so stinkin stubborn! It was so good to talk this all out, realize everything again, learn more, and just repent. Thank you Jesus!
So yea I'm pretty excited to feel alive again. I'm so excited to celebrate Jesus' birthday with our families! We're flying from Calgary to Oregon for a few days so we'll see both fams. We'll miss Matthews brother Micheal and Christa and their two kids very much, but it will be a blessing to see everyone else. So I hope you all have a wonderful time this Christmas, and like I said last time, discover the real meaning of Christmas. It's not even about family and good will 'n all that, even though thats wonderful 'n stuff. It's so much deeper and the most exciting earth shattering truth ever. I'm starting to read a book on true Christmas traditions, I'll let you know how that goes. Oh and I just read the complete works of Beatrix Potter, so good! Yes I am still a child sometimes. Love you all, ciao!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Happy birthday to me la la la, yipee! I love birthdays especially mine. I slept in today then my amazing hubbie made me french toast with eggnog and coffee, yumm! Then I had an appointment at the bank so they could tell me that I got a sweet Christmas bonus even though I only worked half the year! Thanks RBC! Then I got the mail and had three Cmas cards, a Bday card, a Bday package from my mom (thanks, I love it all!!) a Cmas CD I ordered AND a book from eBay I ordered. I love good mail days! Now I'm chilling getting stuff done listening to my new CD and then tonight I get presents and a surprise date or something yipee! It's the best day ever! I haven't posted for awhile, not since my depressing one.
But I've been busy with the following:

I've been shopping and wrapping gifts for Christmas, which IS NOT the whole focus of this season. I've been trying to get away from that. I think we buy gifts for eachother in rememberance of the first gifts given at Christmas which were for Jesus from the three wisemen. They knew already that he would be a king and not just a baby.

I've been making cards and today is hopefully the day they'll be in the mail. This also isn't the reason for the season, but a good time to wish eachother well and since it's the end of the year a great chance to update eachother on what we've been up to.

Of course always busy with the munchkin who wil be 6 MONTHS OLD tomorrow!!

I've been baking up a storm. I made 4 batches of cinnamon sledges, 2 batches of frango mints, 2 batches of poppycock, 2 batches of whipped shortbread, and I'm still going

unfortunatly I've also been busy eating all the baking which is why I've had to keep baking and baking and baking!

and yes I've also been sick, waaa I HATE being sick! I was so extremly tired the first few days and didn't do anything at all. Feeling better everday now.

So yes I'm definitly in a much better mood than last you all heard from me. I'm trying to not base my self worth on what I do. It really doesn't define who I am! I am the daughter of the King who was born thousands of years ago and he came to this world so he could save me! Thats what really matters. Merry early Christmas everyone, remember the true reason for the season, and if you don't know the true reason, maybe this is the year to find out!

In a slump

Yes it's true, my poor blog is in a slump. I've been reading Lindsays blog (please click link to your right to go to her blog if you wish) and she has such fun stuff on it and I just havn't been motivated to help mine be more interesting. I've also been reading a couple other blogs from girls up here and they cook so much stuff from scratch, work, raise kids, sew amazing things. It's depressing. I tried sewing Katelyns stocking today, it already fell apart. Waaaa!

Things I've tried and failed at
1. sewing Katelyns stocking (that ones for Amy 'cause I know she only reads the lists and looks at the pictures)
2. making christmas baking (failed only 'cause it's been all eaten up already so I'll have to make it again)
3. buying Matthew a nice pair of jeans for Christmas (good thing he never reads my blog eh?)
4. making my blog even the slightest bit interesting
5. buying a gameboy connecter thingy on eBay
6. making and sending Christmas cards by the end of Nov
7. this is to depressing I have to stop

Now something to cheer us all up hmmmm.... shoppings fun (insert unsuccesful link for old navy here). Wasting time on the internet is fun (insert unsuccesful link for www.interesting.com here). Someday I'll learn to post links, I did the whole pic thing right?!?!

MMMMEEEEWAH!!! I kiss you all goodnight! I like this picture, I have a little handbag with this picture on it. I bought it when I was in Switzerland, the little rhinstones are falling off:-(
