Champagne Birthday!
This is just a great an happy day that I loved! Family, friends and good times! 
Hey!!! Today it's my birthday!!! But not just any, it is my 30th!!! But not just that, my champagne birthday!!!
Tiss a very special day indeed!
I have been waiting for this day for a long time! I love birthdays, I am a fan of getting older (not sure how long that will go on) and I feel wonderful!
30 years have passed and I am just as excited about life as I was when I was a kid.
My boss took our staff out for lunch today and that was awesome. The gals at work bought me some great jewelery and hair stuff, so sweet! We will be heading to home group tonight and I know that my good friend, Wanda, is making me cake!
Adam made a lovely video for me with some great music and pics from our life and I was just smiling from ear to ear watching it. It hasn't always been easy, but it has been so good! And gets better all the time. God has blessed us greatly! I look forward to a whole lot more life, joys and fun!

10 years
One thing is sure, 10 years goes by in a flash! Adam and I just celebrated 10 years of marriage on February 17th and I am still amazed at how fast it all has gone. Every year there are new joys and new trials and our marriage just gets better and better, we become closer friends and we become more and more content with the life the Lord has given us. I am so proud to say I am the wife of Adam and I look forward to a lifetime of joy and trials with him by my side and me by his. I love you Adam!

All work and no play...
Well, lately it has been a little like that for me. I have accepted one too many jobs and am finding myself with very little play time and when I do get to play I am so tired I can hardly enjoy it. Definately time to reassess things a little. But for this month it will stay busy I am afraid.
There is one thing about February. No matter what happens, I will celebrate with my hubby the day we joined as one. February 17th will be 10 years! How exciting. We have been though a lot and have a home, 3 beautiful children, and plenty of other blessings to prove our years of faithfulness to each other and to the Lord. I am so thankful to have Adam in my life and for all the things he has helped me achieve on my own and together. He is a great man and I am pleased to see that, though he is not perfect, our children are becoming like him in the ways that are most pleasing to God. Will write more on that when I am not so tired. Hope blog land is well.
Oh yeah, I finished that book that I had there and have started a new one. Just trying to get some of the many that have been on our shelves and I have hardly looked at, off the shelf and see what they are all about. This one I have had since I was a teen and am very much enjoying it.

A few things you may like to know.
Here they are:
I LOVE blogging!
I have a hard time committing to things that I really do want to do.
And I plan to begin blogging again!
And on to other things. I am pleased to announce the arrival of 2011, a little late. That is okay. I am just excited that God has granted me another year beginning to experience more great things!
A few things coming up...
Adam and I will be celebrating our 10th year anniversary!!! Crazy to think! But at the same time, well, these 10 years have been packed!
Planning on getting in the best health of my life this year, we shall see how that goes. This does not mean I will be cutting out a tonne of stuff, just more exercise and things like that.
The kids are really hoping to read through the bible this year. That means I read and they listen, which is great. I told them it will probably take more than a year as we talk through each bit so much we can only get through about 2 chapters a day and they agreed that that is fine.
I plan on reading 10-20 books this year besides my bible reading with the kids. This is hard for me as I find it hard to have time to read but that is what I would like to do.
Well, shall write again soon and maybe get a few new pics on! Hope blog world has not completely abandoned our little place here. I will try to spruce things up too. God bless to you all!!!

Joel
Joel, my youngest blessing, just turned 6!!! I can't believe how the time goes by. 10 years and I will be celebrating his 16th and just 10 years ago I had no children and was still just planning my wedding. 10 years sure doesn't feel like it used to.
Anyway, about Joel, he is one of the coolest dudes I have ever met. I love him to bits! He was blessed and blessed and felt like a million bucks yesterday!!! Can't believe he is 6. This year should be grand. I love to see all the new things he loves, how he learns more and more everyday and how God becomes a more important and "real" part of his life. He is a blessing to many and his smile just lights up a room. He laughs often and cuddles much. I have always called him "Joely my little monkey" and he still loves it. Well, may God bless him with many more years of joy and laughter.
By the way Adam is NOT even reading that book ------> !!! We really need to update this thing more often!!!!

Memories to be marked in the calendar of life
"And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15, NKJV
Our wonderful first son, Joshua, August 8, 2010, made it known before men what he believes in his heart. I can honestly say that he did not do it for Adam and I or friends or relatives but only for his God. He knows the importance of baptism and was SURE that he was ready to do it. I told him that he should go and talk to our pastor to be sure that he also felt Joshua understood well enough. Our pastor was impressed by his heart in this matter and made sure Joshua was aware of all the reasons we do this act and why Jesus asks us to do it.
Joshua said, out loud in front of many that he wants to walk with Jesus his whole life and that Jesus can be the "boss" of his life. He is Lord of my boy! This is one of the most exciting days I have ever had as a mom. The days that each one of my children separately told me that they were ready to let Jesus come into there lives was so great but this day, the day it was declared before many men and woman, without hesitation or fear, this day was amazing! It will be marked in my mind as one to be remembered.
My sister and her hubby made a wonderful meal of fresh fish and chips to celebrate all together the excitement of this day.
I pray that Joshua will be kept pure and sold out to the one who is Lord of all, Jesus Christ. That this passion he has now will never waver and that God will be glorified in all Joshua's life.

Wedding!!!
I took a long time the other night just loading a million and one photos here to honour my sister's wonderful day, the day she married Blaine, my new and wonderful, but also always has been, brother!!! I loved being a part of watching this relationship that has truly stood the test of time and prevailed, become a comitted marriage that I pray will last many more ups and downs and come out strong through the years.
I had the great honour of being the matron of honour and I tried my hardest, from a distance to be as much support as I could to my wonderful sister who has always been one of my closest friends. I don't believe we have ever had a "falling out" and we have travelled together, laughed together and had so many bonding times in the past 30 years!!! I am so thankful to have her and Blaine in my life. I am so thankful our family is so close as well and that my sisters and my mom are not just relatives but my closest friends.
Virginia and Blaine, thank you so much for allowing me to be in such a honoured position for your day! I love you both.
The pictures go backwards and these are only some from the ceremony. I will do a few from the reception some other day. What a gorgeous wedding and a wonderful celebration!!!!
Oh yeah, and just take a look at Adam's face in this top one. We are not sure what was so very sad but this makes me laugh everytime I see it! I love you Adam!
