1 year today..

1 year today my Nanny passed away at 1:30pm. I still don't understand it all. I mean my Nanny was suppose to live forever, to outlast me. Nanny and I used to talk every Sunday night ever since I moved away. It was a date. I could talk to Nanny about anything and everything, things I didn't talk to my sisters, my mother or my friends about. It was just so easy to talk to Nanny. I still go to pick up the phone some Sundays then realize that she's not there anymore. It never fails, every Sunday I think of her. I haven't fully dealt with her death yet, I still can't watch our wedding video as Nanny is on it. I've just begun to be able to look at our wedding pictures again. But I still cry. A couple of weeks after our wedding, Nanny went into the hospital and was only out for a week before she went back in again at Christmas. Funny, I made her scrapbook of our wedding pictures for a Christmas gift. I wasn't able to make it home and kept after mom to bring the gift to the hospital so that Nanny could see it. This was before she had gotten very ill and we had no thoughts of her passing. There was just something itching at me that Nanny had to see this scrapbook and soon. Jenni showed it to her Christmas Day and Nanny got very ill Boxing Day. So she did get to see it before she passed. I thank god for that. I wish so much that she could still be around, there are so many things I would like to tell her.

Here are some pictures of Nanny on my wedding day - September 24, 2005.

I love and Miss you Nanny - forever and ever........

Wow, what a Christmas!

Wow, we had a wonderful christmas! I was off on Thursday afternoon so that's when the crazyness began! I finished up my shopping and did my groceries that night. Friday Wes did his shopping and I baked some banana bread and went to the market. Saturday Mom, Wendy and Kadence came for a quick visit. It was really nice to see them. Kadence is sooo sweet! I took a few pics but didn't bring my camera here with me. We made cherry bread that evening. Sunday we cleaned up and Kathy, Brenda, Carter and Keith came over for supper. We ordered chinese and I made a cheesecake for dessert. Later on that evening we went up to Kathy and Brenda's for some snacks. We came home, watched a bit of a Christmas movie, put out our gifts and went to bed. We woke up at 7:00 christmas morning and started opening the gifts! Later that day we went to Kathy and Brenda's again for supper! Yummy!

Some gifts that I received are: New comforter set, microwave, cd player for our car, a whole bunch of rudolf stuff (6 ornaments, 2 snowglobes, stocking, 3 of the characters that speak and sing!), hand held tetris game, wallet, Victoria Secret body lotion-spray-body wash, Rascall Flatts CD, tupperwear, gift certificate to Peningtons, Dale Jr hat, ummmm, OC season 3, turkey platter, 2 foot files, popcorn maker! Wow, the list keeps going on and on! The comforter set and Microwave were combined gifts for Wes and myself.

So needless to say, we had a great Christmas!! Now I'm back to work! But I only have 3 days to work then a 3 day weekend, so not too bad. We had planned to head up North yesterday but we got too much snow and didn't want to risk. So we may head up this weekend.

I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas!!

OH MY GAWD - 3 more days!!

Wowsers, only 3 more days until Christmas!!!

WHOOHOO!!


This will be my last day at work until after Christmas. I want to wish everyone a

and a

Happy New YEAR!

Only 6 more days...

Wowsers, only 6 more days and it's Christmas. Or another way to think of it is exactly one week from today, we'll be opening gifts! Imagine!!!

So it could be a busy week!! Well actually not really, until payday anyway! Payday is Thursday. I took Friday off to get some extra stuff done. I'm going to head out to the grocery store bright and early that morning to get our christmas order. I may even have to wait in line I'll be that early! Then i have to run around to a few other places and pick up the last gift for Wendy and James, last thing for Wes' mom and a few things for Wes. Mom, Wendy and Kandence may be down on Saturday for a couple of hours for a quick visit. That'll be nice. They have never been to my place around Christmas time. I think Wes and I will make some Cherry Bread and some sweets that afternoon or no Christmas eve day. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

The Christmas House

Well Sunday night we took a drive to St. Margarets to the Christmas House! Wow, he has over 3 acres of land and it's covered in pathways and lots of lights. He even has a replica of a church that I am taller than! It probably goes to around my waist area or so. He has a bon fire every night for people to stand near and get warm. He also has a little barn type thing with a ceremic village in it. It's beautiful! There is a pond with ducks in it - he said they stay there all winter long. He made a little heated hut for them but they won't go in it! They sleep on the ice!

Anyway, here are a few pics. Of course the ones that was taken of the yard didn't really turn out because it was dark. As well, my batteries died on me!

Only 12 DAYS UNTIL CHISTMAS!

Santa's Dance for YOU!!!

Well.....

Well, isn't time just flying by! Not much longer now and Christmas will be here and gone! We're heading to Moncton tomorrow after work for a little shopping. I took Friday off so we'll be hitting the mall that day. Hopefully we'll get the rest of our shopping done!

Last night we took a drive around and looked at Christmas lights. There are quite a few that are decorated so far. I guess every year there is this place in St. Margarets that decorate like crazy and have this little village type thing set up. I haven't heard yet or not if it's been set up thus far, but we'll definately be taking a spin out there sometime to see it.

Christmas Countdown

Oh yeah - as of today

25 more days until Christmas!

Been a while....

Well it's been a while since I posted. Not all that much has gone on. We're well under way for christmas. Everything is decorated and most gifts have been purchased. I wrapped everything that has to be wrapped to date. Last night we drank hot coco and watched Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and Charlie Brown's Christmas. It was great!!

With our reunion approaching next summer, I've had the chance to catch up with a few people who I haven't seen or really talked to since high school. One in particular, Carrie McBain. We've been emailing the past few weeks quite regularly. It's great to catch up with her. Junior high we were inseperable and has some rough times through high school but it's nice to put that aside now that we're older. She's married and has a beautiful daughter named Isabella. They live in Ottawa where she is a RCMP. She will be travelling to Dalhousie this weekend with her daughter for a week visit. She may also take a trip here to Miramichi for a visit. It'll be nice to see her again after all this time.

Funny how things change over the years. It's great to put aside things that happened years ago and catch up again. Back then it may have seemed to be something huge, but now as time goes on, it's quite trivial. I guess I've grown up quite a bit and realize that life is too short and some people that you were quite close to years ago, should be back in your life. Mind you as I've grown, I also realize that you can't waste time with people who play you either. I guess I don't have time, or want to, for things that happen as if we were back in high school when we are clearly so much older and wiser. I guess you really realize who your friends really are. I guess I only want to be happy, and want people that are that way too in my life!

So enough babble..

Talk soon!

Pics of my little niece...she's sooooo SWEET!

Here she is! She's precious!! She's always sooo HAPPY! I love her to death!

Kadence and her mommy..

Happy 6th Birthday Carter Boo!!

Halloween night!

Well Halloween was great! Mind you we didn't get many trick or treaters - we had a good time with Carter! He loved every minute of it. I dressed up as kind of his capture as he was Batman. Tied myself up and made a little handle so he could pull me around. Well we walked out the door and he didn't want any of that! So Brenda (the witch in the picture, his mom) pulled me around! We only went to about 10 houses, he was good with that though! Here are a few pics!

Happy Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

(PICS FOUND ON A WEBSITE - I DID NOT CARVE THEM)

Weekend is over!

Weekend is over. Rain rain rain, that's all it seemed to do! Yesterday I think there was a bit of hail. Snow shall be on the way shortly!!

It was a pretty productive weekend! Scrubbed the floors, painted the bathroom, laundry and cleaned the bathroom. Plus made some squares, tacos for supper Saturday and a nice big stew on Sunday. It was pretty good!

Update on Wes - he is doing great. Still has some pain, which is natural considering he had the surgery just under 2 weeks ago. Staples were taken out on Thursday and he feels much better since that. You would be quite concious.

Other than that, things are fairly quiet. I think tomorrow I'm going trick or treating with Carter. I'll have to find something to wear tonight! Thursday is Carters 6th Birthday. His party will be on Friday. So that will keep us quite busy!

Should be on my way. Will write more in the next few days!

How do you like d'em apples?

I am so PROUD of my hubby! He is having an amazing recovery from his surgery. He's not pushing anything, only doing what the physiotherapist at the hospital advised. To date, 1 week after surgery, he feels great. Here are some pictures to prove it. I am speechless and have no idea what to say when I try to comprehend how well he is doing. I've been through 2 previous surgeries with him and he hadn't come as far as he is now after one and a half months. He says the agonizing pain he had before is gone, this pain is different and is tolerable. All he is taking is Extra Strength Tylenol for the pain. Again, I'm so PROUD of him! I love you honey bunny!

He is only doing this to show that he can do it. He will not be playing for at least a couple of weeks now -
I've warned him already!

He couldn't do this in his previous surgeries almost 2 months after he had them!

Tomorrow he gets his staples out. Wes said that he'll feel much better then as he's a little nervous they may get caught on clothing and stuff. I love him soooo much!!

Not for those of the weak at heart!

Here are two pics of Wes' beautiful arm! It looks worse than what it is!!

Nice bruising eh! They say gravity takes the bruising down the arm - there is nothing above his incision!

Here is the brusing and incision. We took the band-aid off because it was falling off. They told us we couldn't wash the incision, so I washed around it to take some of the brideen off. He's got 21 staples. It really looks worse than it is.

All is all Wes is doing great. He's still in quite a bit of pain, but is not taking morphine for it. He's only take Extra Strength Tylenol! He is very determined this time around and is doing his exercises regularly. He can already raise his arm to a 90 degree angle! I'm so proud of him!!

Back home!

We arrived back home yesterday around 2:00 pm. Wes is feeling much better and is trying to stay away from the morphine. It makes him too sick. He had one pill yesterday to get through the drive home and that was his last. He's bruising quite a bit, I may post some pics! hahaha..I know, pretty gross, but I may anyway! Dr. Burton showed us the x-ray they took right after the surgery. It's pretty neat and compared next to the the one from July.

Well gotta run..Talk soon!

Surgery over with!!

Surgery was this morning, all went well. Wes is recovering at the hospital and will probably be there until Thursday or Friday. Dr. Burton said it went great and there were no problems. Wes is a bit nausiated but hopefully should feel a lot better tomorrow!

Just wanted to keep you posted!

Hope all goes well with you Myah and Kamryn in Halifax!

Last post for over a week!

Well this will be my last post until somewhere around the 23rd of October..Holy Crap, October 23rd already! Man time flies by!

I guess we're pretty much set to head to Fredericton on Sunday. Tonight we are moving our old 65 Comet to his mom's place for the winter. Hopefully the darn thing will start for us! We moved it from her place to ours in May, worked great but may have killed his mom's battery. Hopefully it won't do that to ours tonight. We really don't want to pay 100$ for a new battery, especially just before leaving for Fredericton - a week that will be expensive enough.

I started packing a bit last night, just the little things. I have to do another load of laundry tomorrow and then we should be good to go.

So wish us luck on Tuesday and say a little prayer that all goes well for the 17th. Any words of encouragement would be great! This surgery is going to be quite nerve wrenching! Either they can do it and it works or it doesn't work and he will only have very limited movement for the rest of his life. So like I said, say a little prayer to the big guy upstairs for us!

Take Care all and I will post when I get back to work on the 23rd!

Staci and Jenni in NYC

Staci and Jenni went to New York City on a bus tour this past Thanksgiving weekend. Here are a couple of pics!

Cutee Petutee!!

Isn't she adorable!

1 week today....

1 week from now, Wes will be in surgery! Please pray that all will be ok! We'll be heading to Fredericton on Sunday, October 15 to visit with some people before his surgery on the 17th. I'm not sure how long he'll be in the hospital, but we should be home that weekend for sure.

Thanks everyone!

Whoohoo, long weekend!

Whoohoo, Long Weekend ahead! Gotta love it!

So this weekend I'm going to wash all the bedding, scrubb the kitchen floor, clean up the spare room a bit..so not too much on tap. Oh add in the regular weekly cleaning stuff.

We're going to Brenda's on Sunday for turkey dinner and to watch the race. It should be a great weekend! Then only 4 days to work then off for another week!

Here are a few jokes for you!!

What has feathers and webbed feet?
A turkey wearing scuba gear!

Why was the turkey the drummer in the band?
Because he had the drumsticks!

What do you call a gobbler who thinks he knows everything?
A smirky turkey!

Had a pretty good weekend!

Well the weekend is over. It was pretty good, went by too fast of course. Got a few things checked off my to do list. We'll work on a few more this weekend. I cooked this weekend quite a bit. Made some squares on Saturday then Sunday made my Apple Bumble Crumble Pie and a big turkey dinner. It didn't end there! Once supper was done I made a turkey and rice soup. Although it didn't turn out very well! I tried! I guess I probably need a recipe!!

Saturday night we went to the old house and took a walk in the woods. It was beautiful. I think we are going to do the same thing this weekend. Go earlier this time so we can walk down to the water.

Got some bad news as well. Friday Wendy called and said that Jessie's mom was diagnosed with Cancer (Lungs and bones) and the doctor was giving her 6 months to live. Well Sunday we got another call and Wendy said that she had gone down hill and was given 24-48 hours to live. Monday morning she passed away at 9:00 am. Quite scary, considering she only knew she had cancer for 5 days. Our prayers are with Jessie and Joel and their whole family.

Just for you parents of BOYS!

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed nicely & made up and everything neat and tidy.Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, Dad.With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands Dear Dad, It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with you & Mom.

I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice. I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, her tight motorcycle clothes and because she is so much older than I am but it's not only the passion, Dad, she's pregnant. Joan says that we are going to be very happy. She owns a trailer inthe woods and has a stack of firewood, enough for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Joan has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it and trading it with the other people in the community for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it! Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your son, Chad


P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that's in my desk drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

His message was good, although I would have shot the little bugger if he would have pulled that on me!!

Fav pic..

This is a favorite pic of mine of my hubby..

It was taken on our honeymoon last year...

Love ya Honey Bunny!

Ahhh, the weekend!

Well it's Friday - thank god! hahahah!!

Now, what do we do this weekend! Hmmm....Well I started a list of things that we need to get done by the weekend before the surgery.

TO DO:

- Throw out old tomato plants - clean pots
- Take in trellis
- Wash bedding in both rooms
- Move old Car for winter
- Put away BBQ
- Scrubb floors real good (he's better at it than me!)
- Arrange spare room for Wes (I think he'll be in there for a while once we get home from surgery. Easier for him to get out of bed, plus would be hard for both of us to sleep in the same bed when he needs space for pillows and stuff).
- Put up Christmas Tree! Don't jump too soon here! We're just putting the artificial tree up in the spare room in the corner because Wes is better at donig it than me. He won't be able to do it too soon after the surgery.)
- Take air conditioner out of window, clean and store for winter.
- Get Winter clothes out, wash, and put summer clothes away.
- Paint bathroom
- Clean out spare room closet

So as you can see, there is lots to be done. I want to get all of this done by October 14, because we leave for Fredericton on the 15th. That way when we get back, we don't have to worry about any of it.

My hopeful plans for this weekend would be get winter clothes out, wash and put summer away, take out air conditioner, clean out tomato pots, take in trellis and maybe clean out closet.

I'll update you on Monday how much we actually get done!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Ever see a face on a pancake before?

Take a good look at this pancake. Do you see a face in it? One day about 2 months ago, Wes made some pancakes for supper. Hopefully you can see the face in it, it's like a dog, cartoon dog. You can see the eyes quite easily, right towards the top of the pancake and perfect circles. Then you see the big snout and the circle of dark stuff in the middle. It looks like a cartoon dog, I swear!

Any Jeff Gordon fans out there?

Check this out! My Honey Bunny made this model of Jeff Gordons car then did a little extra handy man work on it! As you can tell, we're not Jeff Gordon fans! He did an awesome job!

Beach Pictures

Here are a few pics from the beach! It was fairly cold but beautiful on the same hand.

Check the freaky rocks out - the holes in them are perfect!!

A wonderful 1st Anniversary!

Yesterday was our 1st wedding anniversary! We had a wonderful weekend. Kind of kept things on the low-down. Friday night spent the just me and him. Saturday we hopped in the car and took a drive down towards Tracadie. Just before Tracadie we stopped at the beach for a bit. It was quite cold but it was beautiful down there. We walked on the beach and found some beautiful seashells and rocks. I'll have to post a few pics in the next few days from it. We got a little wet from the water as well - trying to clean the shells we found, the waves were very unpredictable! We had a great laugh though! Saturday evening we had a nice supper then went to Brenda's. They bought us a chocolate fudge cake for Sunday. Yummy! Sunday slept in a bit, exchanged gifts, had lots of coffee and reminissed about our wedding day. Then we kind of wrote a little song of the weekends events. It's kind of cute! We had a great supper - pot roast, sliced potatoes, brocolie, green beans, beats. That evening we had a glass of wine and danced to our wedding song - One Friend by Dan Seals. It was a beautiful evening!

Dog The Bounty Hunter

Anyone out there follow Dog the Bounty Hunter? We'll he's in quite deep right now, was arrested by the US Marshall's last week. Not sure if you have read about it or not. There was a special last night on A & E about it called Dog the Bounty Hunter - Family Speaks. This all happened last Thursday - Dog, Leland and Tim spent the night in federal prison. To make a story short, they hunted for Andrew Luster (Heir of Max Factor Cosmetics) in 2003 and caught him in Mexico. Andrew Luster had skipped court and was charged with 87 counts of serial rape. Dog, Tim and Leland found him in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico in 2003. Turns out that Mexico does not allow Bounty Hunting and they were arrested in put in prison for a week. Luster was sent to the US and was give 124 years in prison. Last Thursday the US Marshalls surrounded Dog, Tim and Leland's houses and arrested them. Turns out Mexican Police want them extradited to Mexico to serve a prison sentence! Imagine! If anything, they helped take an American's Most Wanted Top 10 case to prison. It's not fair and not right. If you get a chance, check out A&E for that episode, it explains it better!

I definately don't understand the justice system!

Here is from Dog's website:
Duane 'Dog' Chapman arrested in Hawaii
Thursday, September 14th, 2006 Honolulu
Dog, Leland and Tim were taken into custody by U.S. Marshals early Thursday, September 14 in connection with charges stemming from their 2003 arrest of convicted serial rapist, Andrew Luster.Andrew Luster, the famed heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune, was convicted of drugging and raping three women over a four year span. During his trial in 2003, Luster fled the country to Mexico. In June 2003, Dog and his team tracked the fugitive Luster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he was living under an alias, and arrested him.As bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by the Mexican authorities andLuster was handed over to the United States government by the Mexicans. He was subsequently found guilty and is currently serving a 124 year prison sentence. Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, and Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by the Mexican authorities. After being released on bail, Dog, his family and team, returned to Hawaii and to their lives as bounty hunters.

Update, Friday, September 15th, 2006
Dog, Leland and Tim were all released on bail on Friday, September 15th, 2006, as the judge concluded they are not flight risks. While out on bail, they will be required to remain in the state and wear electronic monitoring devices until they return to court for extradition hearings to face trial in Mexico. No date has been set for those hearings.

Liberals Won

Well Liberals won last night. That's who I voted for. Figured Lord screwed up enough the past 7 years that we need a change. Shawn Graham is young and seems full of great possibilities. Hopefully he will do as he said throughout his campaign!

How should I vote?

Well today is our provincial election. I'm heading off to vote shortly. But how do I vote? I guess I may be a bit ignorant about politics, it doesn't interest me, although it probably should. Considering my vote may make a difference, or will it? Shall I vote for PC - keep it the way it's been going? Or do I go Liberal and try to get the young blood in?

God Knows..I'm off though, I'll try to decide on the way there!

Almost anniversary time!

Well it's almost our 1st year anniversary. Next week on the 24th we will have been married for 1 year! We're not really sure what we are going to do..We're thinking of taking a nice drive down the river, then come home and make a nice supper, and have a nice romantic evening to ourselves. I plan on picking up a bottle of wine and digging out our wedding song so we can dance to it again. I'd like to make that a tradition on our anniversary - dance to our wedding song. I haven't heard it since our wedding day.

Funny, the year seemed to pass by fast, yet at the same time, seemed like forever to get here. It seems like we've been married for years, maybe because we moved in together so quickly! hahaha..It's all good though, I wouldn't change this for the world!

Wedding Table!

This past weekend's project was the table that we had everyone sign at the wedding. We finished engraving the names and did the center piece. We then sanded it down and stained it. I stained the top twice then put a semi-gloss clear coat on the whole table. It was hard to take a good pic of the whole table, so here are a few pics of the top of the table! It's absolutely georgous!!
