We're ready.
Wow! After a ton of planning, a whole lot of errands and a very large amount of cleaning.....we are ready for the arrival of the onething team for the conference this weekend!
Shane and I have been on the run for the last week or two! Lots of last minute meetings for onething details. This week has been full of errands and shopping, making volunteer phone calls, checking off our to-do list and cleaning our place to host a couple.
Our apartment has never been so clean! The walls are washed, the floors are washed and even under the bed is vacuumed! We did a huge fall cleaning...motivated by hosting! I have a fabulous husband!
So, it is 9:30pm and we are done. Yeah! And I'm hungry!
Tomorrow the fun begins when the team arrives!
Come! Join us at onething! Friday 7pm and Saturday all day at Calvary Temple in Winnipeg. It's free and it's going to be awesome!

Happy Birthday to me!
Today is my 25th birthday. I'm 24 for 2 and a bit more hours.....birthed at 1:13pm to be exact...which my mom usually reminds me of each year. She tries to catch the minute and think of me at that time each birthday! She's so sweet!
My lovely husband has plans for me for the day. We are going to head for a late brunch. Then he has arranged to send me to the spa for the afternoon! I'm getting a French pedicure, French manicure and a facial! I've actually never had a spa facial before! He is so sweet! I hope he remembers this gift later in life when life and kids bring an increased need for alone time and relaxation! Knowing him, he will!
Then we're headed out for supper to celebrate together! I'm a lucky lady!
On a sad note, we spent part of last night and the first hour of my birthday at the Victoria hospital in the waiting room of the ICU. A close family friend of Shane's family passed away last night and it is really tough on his family. It makes today full of mixed emotions. I'm sad for family members and happy for my birthday all in one. Please pray for comfort for Shane's family and peace in this time.
Now, I'm going to carry on the celebration of the day. It's my dad's birthday too! I was born on his 29th birthday!
So, Happy Birthday to me!

Thankful
I'm thankful. I'm thankful for all that God does. He is really incredible. He really does like me! I have very minimal understanding of this deep in my heart, but I'm wanting to get it!
Looking back over the year, we have so much to be thankful for! I'm excited for right now and for what is to come. God has been so very faithful and it feels great to walk in obedience and have confirmation that we are doing what we are called to!
Thank-You Jesus! You are wonderful!

Sweet! It pays to know the manager!!!
We had a nice meal out with the family tonight to start the birthday celebrations! We saw someone Shane and I knew from high school years and lo and behold he was the manager of the restaurant!
We had a nice evening and he kept coming around to check how our meal was and such. When we got our bills, there was a nice surprise! My meal was free! And he had me pick out a dessert from the dessert menu and that was free too! There were some other treats that he took care of as well!
So, that was super nice of him! What a nice birthday blessing!

Thanksgiving....Here We Come!!!!
Today starts a full weekend of celebration! Tonight, my mom, Shane and siblings are going out to begin the celebration of my 25th birthday which is in one week today! Yippee! I love birthdays!
Then, the next 3 days are packed with Thanksgiving family gatherings. Mom's side on Saturday, dad's side on Sunday and Shane's family on Monday! We're going to eat well! I think we'll be a little tired by the end of the weekend with all that activity!
Generally, with my nursing schedule, we can NEVER make all if any of the gatherings. It's nice to have a holiday where we can actually see all our family before I'm back in the swing of things at work.
So, I'm really thankful for all that God has been doing in our lives. We're in a really exciting place, feeling like we are on track with what He has called us to. That's a good feeling!
I'm going to meditate on the goodness of God and think about all the good things that He gives to us this weekend!
