Hello, friends!
Just tho't I'd better post a 'quickie' on here as proof of life - things have been so busy lately that I've not been able to garner the time nor the energy to put tho'ts into words for a posting.
Quick update (in no particular order!):
1. Krista's back from Europe! Yay! That's a huge blessing cuz I've really missed her.
2. I stood in line at the Passport Canada office Apr. 30 from 8.35 - 4.15 to submit an application for a new passport (for my trip to FL in June). I was very thankful to God for the sunny day He sent me. It was perfect...not too hot, not too windy. God also arranged for me to be in line with several very friendly, kind people so we 'bonded' and were able to help each other out thruout the day (i.e. bathroom breaks, lunch, etc.). It was also nice to have pleasant people to talk with during the long, long wait!
3. I joined a women's only gym (owned by a local Christian lady) and re-started my physiotherapy sessions - the results of the first 3 full weeks are encouraging. I'm looking fwd to living a fully-active, pain-free life!
4. My folks decided to do a FULL reno of the ensuite in their master bedroom. You know those shows that tell you it's possible to do something like that in "just THREE days"??? Yeah...NO! LOL Especially not if you are just a regular family like us...both my dad and my bro took a full 2 wks off work to do this and even tho' they are skilled and knowledgeable, it takes a whole lot of time to totally gut it out and redo everything from the wall studs out! In floor hot H2O heating (mmm!), granite counters, air jet tub, more of an opened up feeling...those are just a few of the things on Mom's wish-list...we're all starting to get excited!
5. May 5th, Krista and I got to see Spidey 3 in IMAX! Amy Beckenhauer came up from CA to visit friends in Seattle and Ferndale and they all wanted to see it in IMAX, too, so we all met at the huge theatre near me (Langley Colosseus) - it was such fun! Afterwards, we went to A&W for rootbeer floats (Amy's request!) and poutines (a Cdn tradition lol).
6. From May 10 - 12, I attended a local women's conference, Life|Women 2007. It's sponsored by Victory Christian Ctr and annually features speakers like Nancy Alcorn (founder of Mercy Ministries), Lisa Bevere (of Messenger International), Christine Caine (Hillsong Aust.), etc. Despite the volume and lengthiness of the "worship" section of the services, the messages spoken were very God-centred and inspirational. Many non-Christian women attended and quite a few first-time decisions, as well as re-commitments were made - PTL!
7. Monday, May 14th was a red-letter day...I was able to go to the Passport Office and PICK UP my shiny, new passport! For those of you not familiar with this whole, new ordeal, getting a passport wasn't always this troublesome or problematic...(for more info, ask me! lol)
Okay...I'm sure there's more but my accounting/bookkeeping is calling my name...
XO
 Neech!
