Good day!
It's raining outside. Not as much as it was in New Tusket and Digby and that area, but it's still raining. Now, mind you, I LOVE the rain, but this rain is cold. The kind that chills you to the bone.
Had an -awesome- night last night with some church people. We headed out at 2:55 with Mom, Dad, Corey, Christy and Elizabeth. We drove for a little over an hour and got to Shelburne. We dropped Christy and Elizabeth off at Christy's grandmothers, and Corey showed us around town (which included how stealthily he can go through a stop sign lol). We then went and picked Christy and Elizabeth back up and then headed to the Chinese food restaurant. There, we met up with April, Craig, Mya, Christy and April's brother Ben, and their parents (whom I can't remember their names right now...) We had a great supper, with some great conversation and some laughs too, which is always fun. After we ate, we headed out to find a church in somewheres where there was a concert. After some confusion and a lot of turning around, we finally found the concert (at the high school, rather than the church where we -thought- it was being held). We also were under the impression that the concert started at 7:00. We were wrong. Concert started at 6:30. Oh well. We were only 15 minutes late.
The concert was amazing. It was about 20 or so kids from Africa who were orphaned by AIDS. The kids had so much energy and they each told their story about their parents dying and how they know have hope and love in their lives. It was really touching. Afterwards, the kids all lined up against the wall to meet and greet everyone. They were all so entranced by Mya. They were holding her, and posing for pictures, and one of the kids even took her African hat off and put it on Mya for the pictures. Afterwards we all piled in the car and went to Tims for a short coffee... Well, not that the coffees were short, but the time was.. y'know. Lol! I sat at the table with Craig, April and Ben... and well, Mya too. But she was ON the table. Ben and I spent about 15 mins or so playing with Mya and making her laugh (Soooo cute!) After that, we hopped back IN the van (shotgun, yeah!) and took the lonnnnng drive home (1.5 hours or so). The drive was nice. We all talked, and sang and Corey showed us around... Which included taking us over a scary bridge after I had JUST told him that day that bridges and I don't mix well. Lol!
It was a good weekend given what's going on. I still haven't heard from Andy, but things are becoming very official. I'm looking double-time for an apartment so I can move my stuff out. I also took my wedding ring and engagement ring off today. Kinda a big step. They're safely in my car. But my feeling is, if he doesn't want to come home to his wife and be true to me -that- way, then I don't need to keep on my rings.
Work is going well so far. Two transfers and then one nice and funny lady. I'm off at 6:00 and then back in at 8:30. I'll probably end up posting again today.
Ciao!

Tanya,
My parents names are Edwin and Karen! I'm glad you had so much fun last night; me too! (Mya too!)
You really need to talk to Andy.
Love, April
Right! I remember Edwin, but I wouldn't have been able to remember Karen. :)
I know I need to talk to him. But I'm moving my stuff out before I talk to him.
Thanks!
Hey I have a bridge thing too. everytime we go to Vancouver, Fred insists on driving over the Lionsgate bridge. It is horrific. I even cried once!
I heard on Shine 105 FM, my new fav station, that the same comcert is coming to Edmonton. I will be sure to see it. Thanks
Tanya, it makes me sad to hear you took off your rings. I absolutley can't understand Andy not trying to contact you in 10 days; it's a mystery.
Be true to you, there is not much else you can do.
I know dad. It is sad. But... it's not like I'm going to keep them on. Yeah, 10 days without contacting your wife is -not- right. The only reason I know he is alive is because he's used the bank card, and played our game.
*hug* Tag... you're it... again.
*huff*
*huff*
*puff*
*sneaks up behind Tanya*
*tackle hug*
"YOU are it!"
"gotcha!"
OK I am new to Blog land, but the tag looks like fun. I hope you will join me in praying for the US families. And I look forward to seeing you on MSN. I am cleaning my office this morning so I will be near the computer.
Well Sweetie,
If HE hasn't contacted YOU, it would appear that it was HE who made the decision to split, ya know. And even Scripture will back you up...
1 Corinthians 7:15
"But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace."
Don't know if that helps or not...
Love your Auntie
YOur Auntie makes a good point. And thanks so much for that scripture. It spoke to me as well.
I am so pleased that you had a great time with all of us on Sunday. I had a great time as well, but now I know why you didn't want to sit in the middle of the van!!! Sorry that things aren't going so well on the home front, please be assured this home is praying for you!! Love you lots!! Call me anytime!!
Aw. Thanks Christy... even though I didn't get your phone number... lol. I'll get that from dad. I might come and hang out with you this weekend, or mid-week next week since I have Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off.
