It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!...



Today is a good day! It started snowing EARLY Friday morning and didn't stop until this afternoon!! I was quiet excited, but my parents aren't as thrilled as me!... My dad says that if it keeps snowing, it will be my fault and I will get 2 shovels for Christmas! I just love seeing the snow...! It really is beautiful, and it is a definite reminder that Christmas is on it's way!!! Winter is truly my favorite time of year... I just hope that this time it's here to stay!

SICK!!!!

I am betting that this is just the start!... The start of a winter season of tonsillitis, lung infections, and all that other fun stuff! Last year, I had tonsillitis soooo many times! It was horrible! Not ENOUGH times to have them removed though...Not that I would, I am terrified of hospitals! I never seemed to get it in Kamloops though... Maybe I need to move back there! That's a pretty good reason for me... So tonight, I am going to be in bed really early and see if I can get thru this thing!!!

On a happier note... This morning I woke up to the most beautiful whispered words... "Raylene... Can you drive me to work, it's snowing..." SNOWING?!?!? I couldn't get out of bed fast enough!!! Unfortunately, most of it has melted, but it was still the best sight I have seen in a long time!!!! So there I was, at 4:45AM, taking pictures! LOL! Here are a couple...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Yay! Well it is the weekend! A LONG weekend!! AND it's THANKSGIVING!!! In my opinion, this is one of the best long weekends out there! It's such a beautiful time of year and God's creations really seem to shine! Our family really isn't doing a lot... my dad has to work all weekend but we are still going to have a turkey dinner! I just hope that I am going to feel better this weekend... I have a head cold and I have felt like my head has been in a vice grip for the last two days! We have also gotten a new furnace, which is much louder than our old one, and has not helped much in the sleep department!!

Anyways... I hope that everyone has a great weekend can find something to be thankful for!!

I... I am thankful for the fact that God sent His son to earth so that I can spend eternity with Him! AND I am so thankful for the loving people that God has surrounded me with... my friends and family!!!

Ok...Here Goes!

I am entering the blogging world!!! Its kinda scary AND quite complicated!... Thanks to my beautiful friend, Amber, she has made this quest possible for me! Even though she has sooooo much homework these days, she still found the time to help me!l So Amber, this is for you!

I have been reading various friends' blogs and I really enjoy it! I like getting an update on what they are doing in their lives especially because I live so far away!... So my life right now??? Well, it mostly consists of work, then more work, then even MORE work... not much excitement, that's for sure! But I love my job and I love the children that I am working with!

I'm still involved with the youth group and it's really off to a great start this year! We have some really amazing young people and I really love being a part of their lives... to build into them, to share some of my experiences, pray with/for them, and just 'be' with them!

So I think that's all I really have to share tonight... I will try to keep this thing updated as new things come along!!...
