| Prince Edward Island |
Why am I going...? This is a question many of you have asked of late.
And now, even though I have not received my formal acceptance, I will tell you all.
In a nutshell... because I love:
...Cooking....
.... and Cutting....
... and really, really, really good food!!!...
.... and because someday I want to be one of these people....
.... and I will do all of this at Holland College (Culinary Institute of Canada)...
HOW EXCITING!
Like I said, my acceptance isn't final - but my old file (in which I was accepted) has been reopened. Pray with us as we enjoy this final year in Saskatchewan before heading out to the East Coast! It's so exciting to think of this adventure ahead of us... and sometimes scary too as I think of the magnitude of what it is we've decided on. Crazy to think this dream of mine is becomign a reality & that I get to do it with my best friend standing with me in support...
GOOD TIMES! |

| Popcorn |
I love it.
For the wedding, someone got us a set of bowls that are all a different colour with "popcorn" written on them. Someone else got us a popcorn maker (three people actually), and another person got us a BUNCH of popcorn & flavourings. I don't know why, because we didn't register for any of it.... BUT - I am SO glad.
Lately, late at night when I'm sitting with the hubs on the couch, we pop up a nice big bowl of popcorn. It's a time of great simplicity and is just so comfortable. I've decided that popcorn is the best comfort/warm food of all.
It's a simple delicacy that life offers - to sit in silence with one you love, life does not get any better than that.
I was reminded the other day, yesterday actually, that GOD's love, enjoyment, joy, heart, etc... is even greater than our love, enjoyment, joy or heart for/in our fellow humans. As much as I love anyone I love... HE LOVES ME MORE.
Someday, I am very excited to enjoy some popcorn with EL SENOR!
Amigos - no se si todavia ustedes leen mi blog, pero espero que en Colombia todo esta bien! Estoy hablando en este 'post' sobre el amor de Dios por nosotros, que su amor y amistad y gozo es mas fuerte por nosotros que qualquier amor tenemos por nuestros amigos, amores, etc... Mijuqueros - tenemos que recordar las cosas que aprendiabamos en la montana en Velez - tenemos que vivir solo por DIOS! "Por mucho tiempo busque... una razon para vivir..." La razon es Dios, y solo Dios. Pensamos en cielo - un dia, vamos a quedarnos en los pies de Dios... y que dia!!!! Les quieren muchisimo! Por siempre, tuyo... Negrita!
PS: I always check my Spanish with Free Translation to make sure I'm not butchering it... and sometimes it is REALLY funny how the computer translates.... for example - Negrita is a nickname I got in Colombia from my friend Leidy about how my skin is so white... when really it means dark girl(Her nickname was Monita... white girl). In the translation, it translates that to be "BOLDFACE!" I thought it was funny and chuckled to myself... sigh, is that even funny for anyone else???! Haha... |

| Post Number 1.3.9 |
1. I need to post - not too sure what to say.
2. I would like to post wedding photos & I would also like to say that I WILL send out wedding thank-you's. My parents and I are going around about this: OPINION POLL: what is an APPROPRIATE length of time to give newlywed's for sending out thank you's?
3. We haven't gotten our mail here in a couple days... now, I know it was just the weekend - but there was nothing on Friday, and there was nothing today. As someone who LOVES getting mail - this is traumatizing.
4. I recognize that I have said nothing interesting, and have nothing interesting in my head to say... and that I am watching the OC which does not input anything of substance either.
5. I'm in a happy, contented place tonight. I'm waiting for the hubs to get home from work (which he is LOVING by the way!!!)... realizing that we are LOVING life right now. I love that my husband comes home to me every night and that we have a home to set up and continue to develop together. We're really hopeful for the future, and for what that is bringing with it - life is going to be changing in this next year and the world is our playground.... to the P.E.I we go...
6. Just a fun, non-substancy type blog. Feel free to leave a comment - where you all at, what is life bringing your way....?! |

| Quote of the Week |
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
