This morning as I headed off early to church, I looked down the street as I was turning and saw a very large turkey. Honestly, that early in the morning and that unexpectedly, it looked like the bird from Up. I quickly called Marc to get out of his bathrobe and take the kids out [...]
I’ll be honest. This thing we’ve decided to do for three years is not easy. First, let me say that I can’t believe we’ve made it through the first academic year. That was the fastest eight months of my life. Like crazy fast. I almost don’t believe it’s the middle of April. The past three [...]
Although Madeline is adamant about and correct in saying that “Spring does not start until Saturday!”, there is no snow on the field across the street, so I am saying it is springtime. Or at least that winter is now over. Can I just say that I cannot believe we survived the winter? I normally [...]
The semester is officially in full swing here. It’s strange because last week I was talking like it was the beginning of the semester, and suddenly it feels like we’re running out of time. Marc did a post last night about the stress he is feeling. I could tell right off the hop this semester, [...]
(And, no, it’s not the scurrying of little rodent feet that I’m sure I heard in the floor vents yesterday. Even though I know I heard them. We’ll just forget about that until there’s any further evidence of rodent life in our house again. Rather…)
Tonight I had a moment (a rather long moment) of panic [...]
Yesterday I was given access to my online Foundations of Counseling course. I familiarized myself with the website and all of the things it does and all of the things I will do on there. Then I listened to the first introductory lecture (while doing Scrabble turns on Facebook and leg lifts in the computer [...]
In an attempt to break the monotony of living on a college campus, here’s how our Sundays look. As long as there is no snow on the ground, we’ve decided to do the following every Sunday:
Go to church. (We’re out the door by 9:15am to get to the 10am service in Winnipeg. We drive on [...]
So this past weekend we drove the 800km to what will be our new home in Manitoba. We saw the campus at Providence and bought ourselves an 1,100 square foot mobile home to house our family in for the next 3 years. We have to downsize so much. There won’t even be room for dressers [...]
Last weekend in Surrey was a very strange time for me, most notably the time I spent at the events for the Covenant Annual General Meeting. It was like all of these different world were colliding; I don’t think I realized it until the end of the weekend. There were people there from our home [...]
Okay, I’ve been alluding to big changes coming for Marc and I for awhile now. I haven’t been hiding it; we’ve just been waiting to know if it was “for sure”. Yesterday at noon Marc came home to his acceptance letter to Providence Theological Seminary (which is just south of Winnipeg) where he will be [...]
