Merry Christmas Y'all

Well things are finally starting to slow down. This weekend was a blast now that Tristan is getting older Christmas actually means something to him. We are trying to teach him what its really about sharing the birth of our Lord and teaching him as much about it as we can. We wanted to not put very much emphasis on the presents and it seemed to be working but truthfully being an only child, with a sibling on the way he was quite spoiled. Funny thing though he didn't get much for toys at all. I almost feel bad. He did great in the begining but near the end he just got more and more excited, by the time we were web-camming with my mom to open her pressies from her and Dad he was rippin through them.. My mom was encouraging him though. He did use his manners though. We'll continue to teach him the real meaning of Christmas.


I'm back at work, cool thing though is that our new team leader said not to work to hard so I'm doing just that slack city. I've got some stuff to take care of on the servers changing tapes and making sure the backups are running properly. Monitoring a few things but I'm gonna just try to relax as much as possible :P


Anyways I hope you all had a GREAT Holiday and a Merry Christmas!
Blessings!

Ummm Hello STARBUCKS!!

So I may as well go down to the local, yes thats right I said LOCAL Starbucks and sign my pay check over. I plan on living there! It has been open for 4 glorious days. Here's the catch... I haven't even had one drink yet. My wife went down with Ross last night to do a Starbucks run before they're show, I was so excited for my Venti Caramel Frap with extra caramel, but unfortanately I didn't get one :( I guess it was really busy and my wife wasn't really paying attention or thought maybe they just mixed it differently here I don't know.. It's not your fault honey BUT you still owe me one :)

Oh I will get my drink, I'm gonna head there straight away after work!!

The Truth!

OK so I know you've all been razin me about having a girl. The truth is I couldn't be more thrilled, I know I say that "God wouldn't do that too me, he loves me to much" but he would and well it would seem like he did. I'm stoked about it, for real! The truth is that it scares the crap out of me, I know what guys want I know what they're like. Everyone keeps saying that's where my job comes into play if I raise her in the way she should go then all will be good... You see I'm probably one of the most protective people you'll ever meet. For those of you dear to my heart, you know all to well what I am talking about. I want to destroy boys that date my "sisters" none of them are ever good enough. How much more so would I be towards my own daughter. Even with my son I want to protect him, this one day we were at the park and he ran up to a group of kids and tried to play with them. They all ignored him like he wasn't there, granted he's only two years old and probably couldn't have kept up with them but the look on his face :( I wanted to bury those kids in the park right there. I have a special relationship with my boy, but if someone did that to my little girl... Someone was to call her names, or break her heart, I don't think I could handle it. I can tell ya right now my head is sprouting gray hairs all over it as I type this. God give me grace and show me how to do this cause this is a whole new world for me...

No means no!!

Ok so this weekend, I'm not doing anything Friday/Saturday and Sunday other then going to church. I'm Soooooo tired :P I haven't had a day off since we moved into the new house, things have been crAzy busy. So I'm gonna kick back take off my shoes and relax for 3 days. Gonna sleep till n00n lounge around in my comfy clothes and not do a thing. Except for maybe beat my kid up hehe. Maybe I'll take a nap too. Buy a six pack watch some movies, eat some pizza whatever. I don't care as long as I'm relaxed and rejuvinated for next week. So for those of you that read my blog. Don't phone me to do anything unless your comin over to lounge with me :P and I'll see ya on Sunday morning, and thats about it!

Auntie Sylvia, miss you already

Well my aunt passed away yesterday, she had found out that she had cancer only a short while ago. Everything seemed to spread so quickly, for a little while they thought that they had it under control, and then it just started spreading like wild fire. Until finally she passed away yesterday. After much suffering she is finally at rest. I recieved many reports from my mom. Her and my aunt were best of friends, they spent alot of time together, walking the dogs, bickering about thier husbands, laying on the beach soakin up the rays or water skiing. As you can imagine growing up, when I lived with mom and whenever I went to visit them we spent alot of time with her and my uncle Brad. My Dad and him were best friends also. The good news is that my aunt had accepted Christ recently so I will be able to see her again. My mom would often phone with reports that her and my aunt had been praying all night long and singing praise music. Which is great I'm glad that she had started getting to know Jesus personally. I was always able to minister to my aunt when I would see her I would strategically play songs to get her asking questions. I remember one specific time that I played a worship song and her and my mom were so moved by this song that they were both weeping. It was a great opportunity to share Christ with them both, the real love of Christ and who He really was. Now that she trully understands that and is in Heaven with the Father I am excited. My prayer now is for the family that they would see Christ through all of this for my Uncle Brad that he would be ministered too, having lost his companion, his best friend and his love. I love all you guys so much I wish there was more I could do...

So as I sit here fighting the tears I remember the good times we had and look forward to seeing you again Auntie! Much love.

Your Journey is Complete my friend!!

Our hearts are broken yet we rejoice for you are with our Heavenly Father and we will celebrate your life. My prayers are for the surrounding family and friends. Of which there are many (of both) You had your quiver full and your children had, had theirs and your grandchildren were working on theirs. You've lived a very full life. One thing you taught me as a man of God was to accept others no matter what/who they were. I've heard many times about the young man who walked into a full church no shoes clothing torn and filthy had obviously not showered in quiet some time. He couldn't find a seat so he strutted right to the front of the church and sat on the floor. The congregation was stone silent. An elderly gentleman finally arose from his seat, everyone thought he was going to scorn the young man and escort him out of the Church. Instead he sat beside the young man and waited for the Pastor to continue his sermon. The tears began to flow in that house of God as people realized their attitudes were wrong. Seeing it put into practice was another thing entirely. And you had done it several times in our church. Guys showing up in complete goth/punk outfits to guys showing up in dresses and chains as everyone else stared at them you embraced and welcomed them. You also taught me how to be an excellent husband and father. The way you exampled that to us was awesome. I hope I can be half the man you were. Hanging out with you and your wife till wee hours of the night playing card games and hearing great stories was always a blast.

I love you much Grandpa Courtney and my heart grieves for your family. I send my love and prayers. If there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to ask guys!! But I celebrate your life and am excited and looking forward to seeing you again. Embrace your heavenly Father as he welcomes you with open arms into Heaven.

Thank you for everything you will be in my heart always!

Heroes - Episode One - Clips

Ok I've only seen 3 of the 4 episodes 5th is on tonight and I'll be watching the 4th before it.. I have to say this is probably one of the best shows on TV that I've seen in a long while. It just grabs you right from the begining. When it ended last night with "to be continued" I was so frustrated. Like I would get with Smallville and Alias. There's only a few shows that I really enjoy watching. And this is deffinately going to be one of them!! Check it out guys Monday nights on NBC at 9 or 10pm not sure yet. I highly reccomend checking it out. FYI you can catch the episodes you've missed on NBC's site.

Quirks of Life...

Ok so here's the scoop... I HATE having my whole weekend planned out for me. There I've said it, it's out in the open. I'm a creature of habit. Don't get me wrong if I've got something that I'm looking forward to I'm cool with it like a confrence in town or out of town. It's when its a bunch of small thing piled into one weekend that gets to me. I'm night owl, I love to be awake at night and because of that I don't sleep much. Lately I have been but typically I don't go to bed till 1 or or 2am then I'm up for work around 5:30. So by Friday night I'm usually pretty tired. Let me sleep in on Saturday and everything is ALL good :P If I don't get any sleep I'm wiped for the whole week. So yah I'm complaining :P I had one of those weekends last weekend, and I've got another one this weekend. So we'll see what happens...

Finally Pics!

Well finally the pics are here. We've been truly blessed to have a place we can actually call our own. Something we don't have to pay rent to someone and get nothing out of it. Thanks for the incredible opportunity to "The Outlaws" we have what we can call our first home. Basically we got it for a steal =P All we are doing is taking over the payments. So true technically the bank owns our house but not unlike most of us right =P So here they are, sorry they're not all up yet and keep in mind I took these pictures pretty much right away we were/are still unpacking.


So we'll start them off with a view from outside, this is our new place. It was built in 1992 and it has 2 bedrooms, + an addition added later on which we've converted into a bedroom with a gas fireplace. Amazingly enough we fit quite comfortably in it!.



Here's the fence we put up last summer, truth is my Brother inlaw did about 90% of it he's a jack-of-all trades really. He did a beautiful job on it. Dad broke the gate though =P All I did was plain and stain really. It goes around the whole back yard. Very nicely done! I'll get some pics of the backyard later. The Shed you see in the backyard is great our freezer is in there and all my "handful" of tools kind of sad really I need to start expanding my tool collection. I'm going to be staining the shed to match the fence in the spring/summer. I'm also considering putting a bigger deck in the backyard with an awning or something. We'll see.

Now for the inside! I'm not going to be posting a pic of all the rooms yet, cause "The Outlaws" are staying with us while we renovate their new home which is great! And my room isn't finished yet, were going to frame in a bedroom door. Maybe..


So this is the entrance way, I have to admit I wasn't to sure about the colors before/during our move in but now that were getting settled into the house they are growing on me. We are going to be getting a nice closet or cupboard for the entry way to put coats/boots in. FYI the camera isn't doing the color any justice... It’s much more vibrant and lively then it is in the photo.



From the entry way we come into the hallway/kitchen. Its a great size for us considering what we've come from. Its nice to have a real stove, although I'd prefer gas this is great and a real fridge. Lots of storage space. In fact there was to much. Mom and Dad had Craig (brother in-law) remove some cupboards prior to us moving in. They're in my office and I've made good use of them! But it’s very nice, opened up the kitchen very well. I know my wife loves this addition to A DISHWASHER!!! Now I don't mind so much helping with dishes. I haven't yet but I wouldn't mind... haha



Next to the right is the dining room nice sized can easily fit 6 adults and 3 kids in there as we've done many times when Mom and Dad lived there. Christy finally convinced Mom to give her the table so we gave ours to Adam and Sonja. I don't know who was more excited! :P On the opposite wall there’s a built in china cabinet which is great to more storage. It’s nice, the only thing I want to change about it is the glass inserts. They're from the 90's and it’s obvious. Check the pic.



Up next the living room!! I was uber stoked about this. When we got the TV a few years ago, the wall mount unit was $599 for the basic version, way to expensive.



Well we decided to go check the prices out for the new place as we thought space was going to be an issue. Turns out we bought one of the better ones you can get it pivots up and down and is easy to setup was under $200 Yay for great deals!! Next big buy is going to be a proper entertainment unit. Wireless speakers that wall mount baby and a subwoofer big enough to shake the walls apart.
We also got new furniture!! Another steal from "The Outlaws" Thanks so much for everything you guys do for us!!



That’s a better pic of the TV mounted to the wall. For those of you that didn't know we won that TV about 3yrs ago. I purchased $10 raffle ticket and won a $12000 42" Plasma TV with the control box. Huge blessing!

This next room was the biggest stress for me. Most of you have seen my office. We had a 2 story house and my office was litterally crammed in the basement. Or so it seemed.


I was blown away by the fact that I got all... well most of my office into this room seeing as it’s the smallest room in the house. I did get rid of some stuff that I was just sitting on because I'm a pack rat. But I kept allot of it. It’s cozy I'm not squished in there and I've got lots of room to work its great!

Well that’s all for now, I'll get some picks of the bedrooms and bathroom when we've settled in the new place and after I've gotten Christy to do a "perimeter sweep" haha inside joke.

Anyways I'll get the rest of the pics up soon. Thanks for checking out the blog :P

Blessings

Sorry Keith your outta town :P

Ok So Just for the record I'm not going to try to compete with Keith's blog about the nucks but he's outta town. So I felt I owed it to the boys to say WE WON!! Finally get that monkey off our backs were 1 and 3 Good game tonight. Good skating tonight digging, and good penalty kills. D.Sedin "almost" got a hat-trick that'd be sweet. I know what most of you are thinking "Give it up its still pre season games.. I know I know but I couldn't help but get all stressed out when we went into double shoot-outs.

I'm probably going to get some heat for this but I'm worried about Naslund, don't get me wrong I LOVE the guy but when we traded Bertuzzi I'm afraid the magic went with him. I mean the chemistry of that line was one we can only dream of. I know things weren't the same since the Avalanche incident, but given time... We'll see though. Another one I'm not sure about is Luongo... Sure he's the Winner of the Michael Bossy Trophy, 1996-97, and he's a member of gold medal-winning Team Canada, 2004 IIHF World Championships. He's also landed a record in the NHL on March 25th 2004 with 2219 saves in a single season, and maybe he's compared to greats like Roy and Broduer (I really dispise Brodeur but he is what he is...) Ok.. Maybe with Stats like that one can't help but like him. I could go on with the list btw but I won't. I just need to really see him step it up for the boyz. I'm gonna give him a chance but I'm skeptical.

Anyways GREAT game tonight here's the details:

Hockey Night in Canada new season

Oh Man I LOVE HOCKEY!!!

Preseason games already going!!

Vancouver 06 - 07 Season Preview

This is AWESOME You all know I'm a Nucks fan so here it is. I'm sorry the song has swearing but its worth it!!

Christy says: "Time to update your blog"

I guess its been awhile so maybe I should be posting something :P I did warn all of you that I'm not an avid blogger. I only get urges to write something once in awhile. A lot has gone on since my last blogging incedent. My wife and I went to Prince George for a youth confrence. It was an amazing God time, it was also good to see friends and family. We ended up not bringing Tristan this time, our good friends Adam&Char said that they would take him last min, so we decided that the car was going to be squishy enough as is maybe its best to take them up on that offer.(We'll make it up to you guys but seeing as you have 3kids maybe we'll only do 2 days instead of 4 haha) It was great to come home to Tristan we sure did miss him, and he missed us when he saw me he ran right to me and wrapped his arms around my neck and didn't want to let go. On monday we went for our first Ultra Sound, the "technician" wouldn't say for sure what the sex of our baby "boy" was cause he wasn't 100% certain, but he did say "genitals and scrotum" haha. The best part was me telling Christy and the tech what was going on. I knew right away cause "Zak" <-- Might be baby's name was sucking his thumb and the other hand... on his penuts :P Just like his big brother! Tristan came with us and was asking if he could hold the baby haha. Cuteness monster as Christy would say. I should've broght the ultrasound pics and scanned them in. Maybe I'll do that tonight or tomorrow. Other then that not much OH wait :D I got my new hat haha I used to be a sucker for hats I'd buy a new one every month or two, lately its been one a year... Sad I know, anyways I love my hats so I bought a new one. Had to order it from the states but thats saweet cause now I'm the only one in Terrace (at least I better be) that has this hat!


Ok other then that HOCKEY IS STARTING!!! I can't hardly wait the Canuckle heads have had a couple preseason game,they lost 3-1 and 4-3 BUT and this is a BIG BUT. They only had 3 veteran NHL players the rest were guys from the farm. Against Calgary who ran pretty much thier full NHL line! The 4-3 loss was against the Sharks :( Sucks but I guess we gotta give the team time to find thier game? New line up guys gotta get used to one another. Here's to hoping this isn't a reflection of what the season will be like. Yay for Hockey!! AHHHH I can't wait!! Tristan and Daddy can watch Hockey!!! Then when baby "Zak" is born he'll join Tristers and Daddy.
Now only if some of the boyz around here would get into Hockey like I did.. I swear I need to move up to Mackenzie cause I know Keith would watch the games with me. Bunch of n00bs here Keith they don't even like hockey :( For a link to Keith's "Insane Canucks Fan Blog" Check my side bar :D

Thanks for the blog bro, now I don't need to post the roster and stuff :D For those of you who are die hards please watch his blog for updates comments and pre/post game chats. I know that once Tommy gets home I'll have my hockey buddy back!
GO CANUCKS GO!!

Life in the "Fast" Lane

So as most of you have probably heard, Christy and I have bought our first home. It's a nice little trailer and were getting a KILLER deal on it. Yes you officially can call us "Trailer Trash" on October 1st hehe. I'm gonna be gettin me some tighty whitey's and a wife beater, I'll have to drink more beer and sit on my front porch waiting for the lawn to grow taller then the VW. In all seriosness though we have been truly blessed, although at first I was reluctant and didn't want to do it. In the end my pregnant wife wins, and I'm actually getting excited about it as well. I get to FINALLY mount the TV properly, thank God for 0 finger prints. I'm going to do my office up nice, and Christy said "You should put some of your Coke stuff in the house" Even though I did before, now she wants it around a bit, instead of dreading it haha.

The crapppy thing about all of this as you probably also read on my wife's blog we seem to always do this when were expecting, yes for those of you that read my blog and not her's my wife and I are expecting our second child. We couldn't be more thrilled. The crazy thing is I'm at work from about 5:40 till close to 5:00 every day. Then, of course to make things more interesting, this coming weekend we have a big confrence at our church, the following week were going to Prince George for 180 which is a youth retreat which we've gone to for the last 4yrs this will be the 5th year. So that leaves me 1 weekend to pack the house and move it. Now because were moving into a trailer... and because I'm a bit of a pack rat, ok ok a lot of a pack rat. I hate throwing things away, granted I've got some stuff that I'll NEVER use again I do have some stuff that just can't be thrown away. Any time that I've tossed something like this I've needed it like the next day or week or whatever. So I've got LOADS of crap that I have to go through... I already tossed some paper work that I wish I didn't and its to late, its on the curb waiting for the garbage guys to pick it up and I'm sitting an hour away trapped at work.

Anyways we are truly thankful and feel very blessed to have this opportunity to get into the trailer and actually be able to call it our own, no longer paying rent to someone else but investing into our future. Our plan is to live in the trailer for two years or so, sell it and look for a house. So I've gotta get to work now... It seems like its going to be a crAzy day. Later all

Happy Birthday KIKI

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!!

I pray that your Ultra blessed on this special day!!!


I love you!!!

Just to make you go crAzy

Haha I'm posting twice in one week.. Or twice in two weeks WHATEVER. So this morning I got up like every morning. No wait let me rewind a bit. Last night I was talking to my friend and he says "I totaly slept in today I was running around the kitchen in my underwear and the phone rang"... Anways it was his car pool buddy. So I was like did you forget to put your pants on cause he was out the door in about a min. He didn't, but I was like I'm gonna do it tomorrow, I'm gonna put my shirt and socks and shoes on and head out in my underwear. So sure enough I got up got dressed minus the pants and took the garbage to the curb. Just then my father-inlaw pulls in and I stumble around as to look more tired. Walk to the door and grab my backpack (which has my pants in it) Head out to the truck stumbling the whole way, open the door and he says "So ahh your going to wear your shorts to work today" and I look down and lift up my shirt then he realizes that its not shorts its my underwear I spin around like I'm looking for my pants and he's almost crying he's laughing so hard. I could hear Christy laughing from the bedroom window. Anyways then I say just kidding and pull my pants outta my bag. Now I'm at work blogging :P

This weekend I'm going camping with the fam the WHOLE fam. Well all of the wackadoo's in this area anyways. Thank God were not going to Lakelse I hate camping in places like that, to populated. However when you get some where that is away from people and quiet I love it. So we should have a ton o'fun. It'll be nice to get away from everyone and everything. No phones no nothing.

Peace out!

I warned you :P

I told you all that I don't post very often. I'm glad you checking up my blog I've had good intentions of posting infact I check my own blog every day secretly hoping the blog gnomes have posted something witty for me. Unfortanetly they keep over looking my blog and spamming one of Starla or Sirenas or one of(insert name here)many blogs. I don't know how you girls do it. Having 3 or more blogs... I think I'd just GO BONKERS.

So my family is re-cooping from a massive flu bug. One that put my poor pregnant wife in the hospital for 8hrs on Friday and had my wife and I changing my son's bedding twice a night for two nights in a row, had me sleeping for 22.5 hours on Monday and loosing a total of 12lbs in 2 days. YUCK... I hate being sick I really do.
I swear by the end of it I was seeing things in funny colors.

Anyways truth is I don't really have anything to blog about right now I just felt like giving you guys a small update on life. So I'll continue throwing out random comments on your blogs and you'll know I'm still here. I'll continue hoping the blog gnomes post on my blog and being disapointed that some of you 'multi-bloggers' are hogging them, and you'll continue to check my blog becuase you are a bunch crAzy addicts hehe.

Blessings all!

Whats this Daddy, Why Daddy?

So I had a great weekend, a few things I could've done without. I got sick on Friday night thankfully it was just a couple hour thing. But my family got it after me. "I sick in tummy" Poor little guy was laying on the bathroom floor with mommy saying "I sick in tummy" and crying. I'm useless when it comes to puke, the smell/sight/sound ... YUCK. You could bleed all over me and I don't care, give me a poopy diaper or a sick kid and I'm out. So we pulled the hide-a-bed out and watched cartoons most of Saturday night, and Tristan bless his heart wide awake at 4-4:30am Thankfully because of his new bed he just came and crawled in bed with Christy and I, un-thankfully he's just like his mother :P pushing me WAY over to the edge of the bed haha (Side-note: When Christy and I firt got married we shared a double bed, I'm by no means a little guy so that was an amazing thing lol. I convinced Christy we needed a King sized bed so we went out and bought one...Thinking I'd have some room to be comfortable... I still don't get any room) Back to the story, so I'm squished over to the far side of the bed Mommy moving over more and Tristan to. Anyway I finally had enough and put him back in his bed around 5:30am. Needless to say I went to church by myself, Christy getting no sleep and Tristan getting no sleep makes for grumpy family.. Surprisingly my boy wasn't grumpy at all and he hadn't even slept since 4. Maybe 1 or 2 hours tops. Christy fell asleep (sorta) on the couch so she was good also. We had a good evening and went out for dinner to the outlaws. Came home relaxed hung out put Tristers to bed.......... 11pm I head off to bed and hear "Daddy... Daddy..." So it begins... I think to myself hmm wierd he's not alseep, I go into his room and he's WIDE AWAKE. :( So I ask him if he wants Daddy to cuddle and of course he does, so I crawl into his tiny little bed and we snuggle for a bit, he's jibber jabbering the whole time non-stop. Meanwhile I've gotta get up around 5:30-5:45 for work... Trying to get him to sleep, I stay in his room till about 12:15. Daddy whats this, Daddy why. It was cute and fun. He was bummed he didn't have any chest hair and Daddy does. So I crawl out of his bed we pray one more time and I tell him its night night time. I'm starting regret the new bed haha but love it cause I can cuddle my boy. Anyways about 20mins goes by and I'm at that stage where I can hear whats going on but I'm out. I hear some stirring then I hear him tapping his foot on the wall then nothing, then I hear plastic being pushed on the hardwood floor and I think what the? I go into his room there's his big lion on the bed few other things here and there, but no Tristan. I'm wiggin out a little, to tired to think straight I start looking for him in the closet, behind the door in the other closet no Tristers to be found, head out of his room and i see his foot underneath a foot stool in the linen closet... "What do you think your doing".. "Hiding Daddy"..Well my patience was starting to wear a bit thin, but I didn't get mad I just told him no more goofing around and get to bed before he gets a spanking. That was the last I heard from him. He went to sleep. :D Poor mommy was up at 7:30 with him though..

Was a good weekend though I had fun :D Gotta love kids hehe.

Complete Randomness

It's very dangerous to wave to people you don't know because what if they don't have hands? They'll think you're cocky.


I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut... I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, 'Don't even act like I didn't get that doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in my file at home. ...Under "D".

I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.

I would imagine if you could understand Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.

My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. So which ones the real hero?

Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.


I was in a restaurant and I ordered a chicken sandwich, but I don't think the waitress heard me because she said, "OK, how would you like your eggs, sir?" I tried to answer anyhow: "Incubated. And then raised. And then beheaded. And then plucked. And then cut up. And then put on a grill. And then put on a bun. It's gonna take a while. I do not have time. Scrambled!

I wish I could play Little League now... I'd kick some f'n' ass. I'd be way better than before. Who's back up now


My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on four billion! Doh, seven! Not even close. I need some more dice. Four billion divided by six. At least.

My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light, a bunch of koala bears scatter. And I don't want 'em to. I'm like, Hey! Hold on, fellas. Let me hold one of you. And feed you a leaf.

I like rice. Rice is great when you're hungry and you want 2,000 of something.

Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load his crap into a truck.

I hate turkeys. If you stand in the meat section at the grocery store long enough, you start to get mad a turkeys. There's turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastromi,.Some one needs to tell the turkey, man, just be yourself.

I once saw a forklift lift a crate of forks. And it was way to literal for ME.

I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window?

When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away.

On a traffic light green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means where the hell did you get that banana

I played golf... I did not get a hole in one, but I did hit a guy. That's way more satisfying...

I bought a seven dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring.

"A NEW CAR" in a Rod Roddy voice

If you don't know who "Rod Roddy" is.... look it up :P

For today's entry -

"Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped,
turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute just sit
right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town
called bel-air"

We brought the van to a mechanic cause the motor mount was broken, turns out when they ordered a new one it was the wrong one. But thats good news cause our mechanic said "You'll just be wasting your money anways" So he managed to get some bolts on it with some nuts behind them to hold a bit longer, but he says "I don't know what your budget is like, but I'd look at getting... A NEW CAR" haha. Well my budget as of last night 0.90 in my bank acct 0.00 in my savings acct... and ahh I just spent the last $5 cash this morning at Tim Hortons :P

So we could really use your prayers friends!! God is deffinately a GREAT God, I'm not looking for any sort of handouts but just pray that God's blessing would come and that he would bring the best possible deal along. I don't want to buy another lemon. I'd like a new porche or ferrari :P ok in all seriousness I'd love that truck but... Dunno if I want to commit to 40g in payments. So again we just want the best deal possible, the deal that God has for us just waiting to be found! ALSO were waiting on our income tax and there's two possibilities 1 that its going to be about half of what we expect it to be or two were going to get the full amount that we've really be hoping for. Pray also that we could get the one were hoping for cause that will be instrumental in helping us out with paying for the new car!!

Blessings on you all.

PS I'm not even gonna put a window in the side door. Also please Pray that the van sells quickly!!

*Sigh*

So the last couple days have been umm stressful days. Things keep adding up that bug me you know. Finally feel like your climbing out of one hole only to find yourself falling back into another. Our van was a gift, amazing gift at that couldn't have come at a better time. I'm very thankful for it, its a beast but its our beast :-D My son was in the front yard throwing rocks (he knows better, but he deffinately knows better now!!) and he broke the sliding door window. My wife thought for sure I was going to be mad but boys will be boys I guess. It just sucks cause its $120 + install if I can't do it myself also one of the motor mounts broke clean off.. Time to sell the beast :D so we'll be taking donations for a new vehicle. Don I'm talking to you since you already own my truck

Haha yesterday at work sucked I think it was my breaking point for the week. Thank God we had small group last nite, I was able to surround myself with good friends and have a relaxing evening. I really wasn't looking forward to coming to work today, but I did. I was sorta preping myself for another bad day like I said its been that kinda week. BUT :D so far its been good. I didn't get much for sleep was up to late but I feel good. The cool thing is we finally got our new monitors, I had this old CRT monitor that was ultra blurry and it gave me a headache. Our bosses back east said they were sending us new CRT's I thought whats the point they're all crap. Turns out they sent us new TFT's SAWEEEET so I got a new monitor, its great I can use my resolution I like and its not blurry and my headache is gone.. Anyways I'm gonna go enjoy it and get some work done its almost Friday :-D

Ok here's the scoop haha I'm just doing this cause I get these sudden urges to type stuff sometimes. I dunno why but I do so there. I have an MSN Blog and my wife says "the msn one sucks arshole on a hot day" So I figured I'd give this a whirl. I'm gonna say the same thing here that I said there. I don't post every day I probably don't even post every week... Ok truth is I post like once a month maybe I'm just lazy I dunno we'll see. So here it is I've officially joined the 'blogger' world... maybe... we'll see... I guess.
