Common Sense

Found this saying today. Every wonder why people try and push their thoughts and beliefs onto you? It's annoying. I believe in what I believe in, no need to try and think that I'm wrong. There are people out there that think they know better (I like to call them know-it-alls). Imagine thinking that your better then others.....I think those people need to take a little closer look at themselves, because while their being so high and mighty, I'm pretty sure a lot is falling down around them. Remember it's not all book smarts, it's not all street smarts.........it's just all plain common sense! :)

Emmanuel Kelly The X Factor 2011 Auditions Emmanuel Kelly FULL

My daughter told me to watch this youtube video of X-Factor. She told me to listen closely to what the judges say at the end of the clip. It is a very touching story. "It makes everything you worry about so pathetic!" Glad my girl caught the message of this story, it makes me realize just how she thinks and feels. Love my girl!

Fuzion for Kidney's

Last night my instructor for Fuzion, Skye Bowen held a Fuzion Charity event where all amounts collected were given to The Kidney Foundation of Canada. Approximately 50 people turned up to support my husband who suffers for kidney disease, and the foundation. It was wonderful to see the support we received from extraordinary people. Major emotions came over me, as I felt the support just by being in the gym with this generous and caring people. For not knowing people for too long, or even that personal it was touching to see this support. It certainly proves the goodness in people. All in all $535.00 was raised for the Kidney Foundation of Canada! Thank you to all who donated and participated in this event, you are truly amazing friends! :)

Longtime

Went to dinner with a friend of mine last night, haven't seen her since my parent's funeral and to be honest I don't remember much about who came (sorry to who are reading this). But I was so happy to see her, she gave me a kind of comfort that I can't explain. Let's just say she was my Mom's friend and I felt my Mom around us as we caught up, so happy to have done that, and looking forward to more time like that!

Finally

We finally received our call to go get the medical work up started for a transplant. We are very pleased to have this ball start rolling. Hopefully everything goes smooth and we get the results we have been praying for.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, a time for family & friends....always a difficult time to get through knowing my family get togethers are very small (just the 3 of us). It was nice to get a call from my god-mother to invite us to dinner with her family. Her family has always felt like my family since we have always been close. It was a nice afternoon evening, especially with the weather being as beautiful as it was, 29 degrees, at Thanksgiving, who would have thought!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

A Weekend of Romance Away in Jamaica 2011

What a wonderful 3 night, 4 day trip for me and my husband. It was a much needed weekend away, and with the wonderful friends that we are lucky to know and love we were able to sit back and relax and not worry too much about our daughter.

We stayed at Secrets St James in Montego Bay, such a beautiful resort, very Americanized was the downfall for us (we love the feel of Jamaica & the people this resort was lacking that). But by far it was a 5+++ star resort.

The mornings were hot and we went for breakfast, and lounged on the beach. The afternoons (2ish) it rained, thunderstorms, but it was still watm and we enjoyed sitting around the bar chatting to each other, which as many know is difficult with an only child around.

We really enjoyed out time together, as a couple once again.......working on our relationship is so important for the years to come, knowing that one day our child will grow up and move on, it's good to know that we love each other's company just as we need all those years ago when we met for the first time.

Cheers!
