We are having a lot of renovations done before we head to China so I have not been able to spend much time on my blog but I had to come on today to wish my wonderful husband a very Happy Birthday!!
It is so great to know that next year he will get to hear “Happy Birthday Daddy” from our little princess! It just makes my heart so happy!
This weekend I took a little break on Saturday from the studying to go out for my birthday. My birthday is not until next weekend but I will need the whole weekend to study for my exam on Monday March 30. So we thought a break on Saturday for some fun would be a good idea. I had a wonderful evening with lots of fun, friends and laughter. We started the evening with some bowling and then headed home for a game of Cran*ium and a few snacks & beverages. Lisa & Jeff spent the night at our house so we finished off the evening with some games of w*ii … and finally caught some shuteye around 4pm!!
I had a wonderful evening and love all the thoughtful gifts from my friends. Thanks so much to all of you!! xoxox

I had a very good birthday with lots of good wishes from friends and family. I came home tonight to K*F*C for supper and ice cream cake for dessert, yummy!!
A few weeks ago I broke my camera at my friends birthday party and I was devastated. Taking pictures for me is like breathing. The best gift I received today was a new camera!!! Woo Hoo!! I will be putting it to good use tomorrow night. A bunch of friends are getting together for some drinks and dancing to celebrate my birthday with me. I’m sure that outing will deserve a post all it’s own, lol!
Tomorrow we are also going to "late" Easter dinner at my Mom's house. As you know my Mom and I were away from home last weekend so we decided to have our usual Easter dinner this weekend instead.
Busy, busy day tomorrow and then recuperating on Sunday before heading back to work on Monday.
I hope you all ...
Just wanted to let Lisa and Jeff know I am still thinking of them and their family. Their little girl, Kealey (in picture), 
had to be rushed to the IWK hospital last weekend; thankfully she is doing better now. I was really scared when I first found out though, thanks Jeff!
Thursday Larry was at Home Hardware all day fundraising and after work I went and relieved him. We did better than we both expected. I love being able to get out there and talk to people and answer their questions, as long as they are not totally ridiculous! We had a very good day and received lots of well wishes. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and supported us! Here I am, waiting for my next customer, lol!
Last night we went to Mandy’s 30th birthday party. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANDY!! We had lots of laughs and a good time. Here are some pictures from the evening. The only problem with the evening was the un-invited guests…June Bugs!! 
I don’t think this needs any explanation but let me just say, I HATE bugs…especially in JUNE!!
Last Friday Larry and I went shopping in Halifax, here is my favourite purchase of the day…
Check out the ladybug embroidery!
I can’t wait to see “Maggie” wearing this!!
Ok now that the week is over let’s enjoy the weekend! Yeah!
Today marks our 1 year anniversary of delivering our adoption application to Children's Services! In other words the beginning of our adoption! It is so hard to believe we have been working towards our baby this long, and the long road still ahead.
Yesterday I received an email from our agency validating our fears; our wait time has increased by approx. 6 months. Larry & I kind of knew this in the backs of our minds but once I received the email, reality hit hard. Just when we get excited about having another month of waiting under our belts ... WHAM, we hit a brick wall. This was not the kind of news I wanted for my birthday. As most of you know though, this is a worst case scenario for us to use as a guideline. So for the months to come we will pray and prepare for our baby girl, and hope that the wait shortens.
On a happier note: 
I had a nice day and received some wonderful gifts! I will post pictures this weekend. Larry and I are going to enjoy a relaxing evening watching 2 movies:
The Pursuit of Happiness
Happy Feet
Well here we are at the end of another week already! Not much happened this weekend, I had some work to do from home so my mornings were busy. Jeff was down on Sunday to work on the living room . . . I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! For those of you who don't know we have been re-doing our living room, since last summer! Our friend Jeff offered to help us out with this project and boy did he get in over his head! (sorry Jeff!) This project has caused so many headaches. Just a word to the wise, if you are going to rip down a celing in your house make sure you have a good idea of what you are getting into. When our house was built they used blown in insulation in the attic . . . use your imagination and visualize what our living room looked like after the celing started to get ripped down, wish I would have had my camera handy because whatever you are visualizing multiply it by 100 and then you might be close! Anyway it looks much better now and a few more weekends should finish it up, YIPPIE!!! :o)
Here is a picture of Sydney's birthday dinner at Swiss Chalet(Jan 1, 07), 
boy was she surprised when they came out clapping their hands and singing to her, the look on her face was priceless!
Larry and I were watching tv this week and while we were skipping through commercials on caught my attention. I was so touched , we watched it over and over. This commercial made me very glad to be an RBC customer. For anyone interested click here to watch, let me know what you think in my comments.
