It's less then a month till the big day. I still have 2 and some pages worth of stuff todo, and at the moment I'm not really worried. Yesterday I found out my hair salon for the wedding is went out of business, and I managed to find a fill in, though I am still looking for a salon that has a different schedule.
I've had a pedicure...and am slowly beginning to realize why women pamper themselves...it's amazing.
I still have favours to put together, a card box to decorate and an apartment to move into.
I HAVE an amazing fiance who pushes me to be a better person and has been a continuous help with the wedding. I know that I can trust him and I admire how involved he gets. I am also very thankful, that he is a details person because without him...well...lets just say that there would be no decor. :D
I still need to by a bazillion things for drinks and what not..BUT we do have a honeymoon...that's good.
Regardless of what I have yet to accomplish I am learning to love the little things that come about each day. Conversations with children, or friends. Sunsets and thunderstorms. I know that right now, Saskatoon does not look too interesting, and I know that we still have a long way to go to create the network of friends we have here. But I am learning that maybe change can be a good thing and that God wants us to grow, and develope and if my life in Saskatoon were a replica of what I have here, then I never would grow. I would not learn to push myself, and to develop into the woman God wants me to be. He has blessed me with an amazing future husband and family friends that I know I can trust (regardless of how far away they maybe). He works on his time, NOT mine; which drives me crazy and yet provides a feeling of adventure.
So what ever the future holds i say: BRING IT ON...I'm kind, sorta ready ;)

Faith Like Joshua...
I have been watching as the status' of my classmates start listing how they have jobs, and I can't help but wonder, what about me? For those who dont know, I was offered a job but declined as it was not in an ideal location, nor was it ideal for job getting for Ben. So I continued my search, after a series of events, I had thought I had landed a subbing job with Saskatoon, and thus turned down any other offers. Throughout that weekend, Ben and I came to realize that perhaps saskatoon was where God was sending us. We gave notice to our apartment (which then in turn gave Kim and Jeff a place to live) and after talking to my mother, I had a part time job working as a care giver to two children with autism. However, about a week or two after plans to move had been made, I recieved the letter stating that at this moment there was no available position for me to fill. I figured God had something up his sleave, or things would not have worked out the way they did. That was at the begining of April.
It is now the end of May and I currently hold no certainty of any position what so ever, and Ben, well neither does he (for saskatoon. He currently is working with the CTF in Regina.) I have begun to wonder if perhaps we were wrong and maybe we had misunderstood God's direction, and thus that brings us to this morning...
I was lying in my bed around 6:30 (This is what happens when a certain sisters alarm vibrates through the wall waking her older sister up from her restfull, peacefull slumber) thinking about the whole job situcation and Saskatoon. God and I were sort of talking (I was complaining, he was listening...) when the story of Joshua came to mind, along with Hebrews 11 (the faith chapter). Thus I began to contemplate, comparing Joshua to myself.
When one starts looking at the story of Joshua, we start the book off, with God telling Joshua to persevere and be couragous. God tells Joshua that he is going to be with him. He gives him encouragement, and tells him to just trust and have faith.
Now Joshua, is expected to do great things, cross the sea, knock down a wall, by simply walking around 7 times and then yelling, etc. and as I read through the first few chapters, I pictured Joshua having a conversation with God similar to this:
God: Joshua, you are going to knock the wall down surrounding Jehrico.
Joshua: oh yea? how?
God: by walking quietly around it once a day for seven days. On the seventh day, the priests will blow their horns and the people will yell, and the wall will come crashing down.
Joshua: Are you serious?
God: Yes.
J:Have you seen that thing? It's thick and large, what is walking going to do?
G: You have to trust me Joshua, I will deliver the people of Jehrico, as long as you follow my directions.
and then they contiune with the finer details.
In the end, Josh does these things, and they all come true just as God had planned, but when the isrialites start sinning, suddenly things stop. I believe at this point, Joshua starts to get discouraged because in chapter 8, God once again encourages Joshua, to trust and not to get discouraged everything will work out.
So how does this relate you wonder? I am sure we have all experienced times in our lives where things just seem to be going great, we are conquoring any hurdles that come our way, and then, suddenly something happens, and we become discouraged, unsure if what we are doing is really the right thing. To that, I believe, God is telling us to keep going, things are gonna work out. Just like he did to Joshua we have to trust that maybe the impossible really can happen and we can knock down the thick walls of troubles by simply trusting that God will deliver us, and that he knows what he's doing.
After all having faith (or believing in the impossible) is being sure of what we hope for and certain of that which we do not know. (hebrews 11:1)
Thus I know find myself anticipating what God has in store not only for me, but for Benjamin and well.

with 2 months remaining...
I cannot believe how fast the day is coming, and how much I have to accomplish. It seems like just yesterday, Ben proposed and we started the planning...now its 2 months away and I have yet to finish the ever growing list of things to accomplish.
This past month has been crazy busy. I finished my degree in Education which was a huge weight off my shoulder, and now am awaiting my confirmation on June 11, 2010. As well, for those who did not know, Ben and I have decided to move to Saskatoon in hopes of pursuing a job for myself. Thus, I moved home with my parents and have been trying to secure a residence in Saskatoon or surrounding area. (If anyone knows of any, I would love to know about it). To wrap up this crazy month, this past weekend, Ben and I drove to Dauphin, MB to celebrate my Baba and Gedo A's 50th Wedding anniversary and then headed back to Regina to Celebrate the union of our friends Kim and Jeff S.
Now to sit and relax I am amazed at how much Ben and I have accomplished. We are slowly working out the details of our wedding, not easy with me being 200+km away from him as well, we are working on the long distance of our relationship, as this is the first time we are away from each other for long periods of time.
In the area of job hunting, my search is still on. We are continually praying that we are following God's plan for us and are learning the art of trusting God and following through with real Faith. With this area of our life still so in the dark, we can truely only trust that God knows what he is doing and is working his plan as I write.
At the start of May, I was blessed with a beautiful Bridal shower put on by my lovely maid of honor and bridesmaid.It was wonderful to see how many people love and know Ben and me. I cannot even begin to express how loved I felt that day. If either of my ladies are reading this, Thank-you, I truely appreciate you. Ben sits here beside me reading as I write, and insists that I include the part of the shower, where he got the death sentence to pie me in the face...he thinks he got off scott free....
I certainly hope to keep you all up to date, as many of my readers (if any) are in Regina...but as for now, I'm signing off..have a wonerful week!

Just to Be with you
I have been listening to Third Day recently, and i came across this song and it really hit home. I felt like God wanted me to share something with you in regards to this song. Many of you may just ignore this or look past it, however, I encourage you to stop for a minute and read the lyrics of the song.
I've heard a tale that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves.
How many times has he broken that promise?
It has never been done
Well I never climbed the highest mountain,
but I walked the hill of calvary
And just to be with you I'll do anything,
there's no price I would not pay, no
Just to be with you I will give everything.
I would give my life away.
Yeaaaa
I've heard it said that a man would swim an ocean
Just to be with the one he loves.
But all of those dreams are an empty emotion
It can never be done.
Well I never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea
And just to be with you I'll do anything,
there's no price I would not pay, no
and just to be with you I would give everything.
I would give my life away.
Yeaaaa
And I know that you don't understand the fullness of my love
How I died upon the Cross for your sin
And I know that you don't realize how much that I give you
And I promise I would do it all again
Just to be with you I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay, no
Just to be with you I gave everything
Yes I gave my life away.
Yeaaaaa
Just to be with you
Oh, just to be with you (3x)
This was written from the perspective of Jesus. This is what he is saying to you, his child. He really loves you so much that he literally has walked on water (Matthew 14:22-33), Climbed the hill of Calvary and then died(Matthew 27:35) so that he could be with you for eternity. He wants you to understand that his life was a love story, one that many have promised but never actually lived out. Jesus did. He is the real deal and desires to know you in a personal way. So maybe reading this you just laugh, and roll your eyes. Or maybe you've stopped and seriously considered what the song is saying. He's not making empty promises that he cannot live up to. He already has full filled those promises. He's not gonna force himself on you, instead, he is waiting patiently for you to make the choice to take him up on his promises and live eternally with him. So, will you take him up on his offer, the choice is yours.

Too long
Howdy!
It has defintely been awhile since I last wrote...Lots has happened..ok not too much, just a small amount that relates to one area of life or anther.
Today I started to send out invitations...only like 25 of them..so if your reading this and have not yet recieved your invitations..do not feel bad..they will make it your way soon..I only have so much time and perhaps I dont have your address...most likely i do and its in the mail..so just sit back and relax..its coming,.
I have an interview on Saturday...A big one, its with a Hutterite Colony just outside of Val MArie (a small town in the middle of nowhere) It would be a big move, I'm kinda nervous and excited all at the same time. Ben has been awesome, backing me up 100%. A big thing for him as the likely chances of him getting an awesome job are slim. The school would have 5 students gr.K-8..so class size is a dream. It appears to be one of those dream jobs in a not so dreamy location.
School is a whole other place. It seems that I just cant get it all done and still have time to spare. Sure it has calmed down lots, but the last month is slowly coming. Its a relief to know though that I shall have a degree after all of this. Something that I have dreamed about for four years now and finally I have achieved that goal.
My little brother graduates this year as well. It's hard to believe...18 years have pretty much come in his life..WOW!!! he did get into engineering..which is awesome. I'm proud of him...though I may not say it enough.
Wedding planning is going..happening, slowly. Its not as stressful as it could be. Ben has been a huge help. Although he maybe the source of many arguments...he has been a strong source of strength, love and support. I know that I can count on him to help me out, and to do things that I may not have the time for.
About 2 weeks ago I got sick on the day we were supposed to be making invitations. He took control and thanks to all the ladies who came out to help, he got them finished and to me by the end of the day. He rocks.
He has recently got me into The Big Bang Theory, which has become a source of entertainment for us in the evening hours, as we relax and just enjoy the nerdy humour of the show.
Well thats all for now..got to get to class..hopefully I can post something soon about the Job. If your reading this, please pray for us and the up coming decisions we have to make for our future. Thanks :)

As a new year begins
For my one reader who spends all his time with me and still has this desire to read abou thte events he was with me to expereince..why I shall never understand.
I just finished my very first teacher interview...nothing too big just meeting with the superintendents, and hoping they like me enough to pass me on to the principals. I wonder why we put ourselves through all this. Dressing up to impress some person you may never actually see again..some of us may see them, but that can be a rarety and we go into these interviews saying what they hope they like. Me personally, I belive that we should just say it as it is..they want you to teach kindergarten, and you would rather lock the kids in the closet, then dont take the job..enough of this take what you can get. Sometimes I think that its more of a hinderance and a disadvantage to the students, when we take positions that we are unqualified for...honestly, just be honest you cant do it or would hate every minute then do us all a favour and say so.
To wrap up the rest of my life in the past few months the one word that comes to mind is crazy..or maybe its two words crazy and busy. It's as though the end of internship signaled the end to all sanity, between school, wedding stuff and planning the rest of my life via job...I have very little time for school. How I have forgotten what it was like to constantly have things to do, group projects, blogs for a class, various individual assignments, I sometimes just have to wonder when does this maddness end? Will there ever be an ending? Will I ever regain my sanity, or has that become a thing of the past? If i thought internshup was bad, man was I in for a surprise, I find myself with more stress and less sanity as evreyday passes. Are these things booked, what about invites? when are we gonna send those out, how about gift registry, or perhaps we can just get people to buy the 3 or rather 2 items on our list, we could use say 50 popcorn poppers anyway. I know this sounds a little intense, and perhaps I am just exagurating,
Wedding plans just seem to keep coming. Its like they never stop. First its book the big things then all those small details that no one thinks of such as timing, music, decor and dont forget silverwear and plates..In my opinion I just want the man and a really big party..ok so really i just want the man (that's for your sake Ben :D) Why we need to worry about plates is beyond my understanding and yet at times I find myself succumbing to the stuff of weddings that only matter up until that day. I wonder why one feels this need to want the perfect look, the only thing that will stand after that one day, is the dress (saying you keep it) and the meaning behind the rings..pictures are there, but they grow old and people change as the years pass by. The real idea behind the wedding the joining of two lives, is never given much thought during those few or many months spent planning. Have we by some chance put too much emphasise on wanting our guest to remember, will it not be enough when the couple married is still together 65 years later? Why do we put the pressure on for a bride and groom to plan this extravagent event, for thier celebration that could at times leave them hundreds of dollars in depth.
Its hard to find time in this day and age with our busyness to just stop and enjoy each others company, there is always something to do, something to think about and on most days many things to worry about. I'm guilty of that, I think I get so caught up in all this stuff, that I have difficulty just stopping and enjoying the moments with my best friend. I plan instead of enjoy, I plan instead of live, I let my planning stop me from living in the moment and experiences all tha God has given to me. SOmetime I even get so caught up in my planning that I forget that God has the planning done, I just am needed to do the execution...silly me.
Well thats all for today, maybe I'll write again sometimes soon..maybe ;)

soo much todo
These past few weeks have consisted of school all week, and then wedding stuff on Saturday. The first week went great, got the church booked, then the hall...and then...AHHHHH it seems as though nothing seems to end. As soon as I start thinking about one thing, suddenly it as though that one thing has opened the door to a billion other things.
For example, this past weekend, my maid of honour, Jaci and I went shopping and were looking for ideas and the bridesmaid dresses. (we ended up finding center piece ideas which was nice.) This search naturally lead us into a tux shop. With our colours in mind we went about trying to find the "perfect" look before we set the boys about their ordering and trying on. Well this whole even left me feeling unsettled as we looked at our colours and discovered them to be slightly 80's ish on the guys side. This was definitely not what we wanted. Not wanting to feel to discouraged, we headed over the dress store beside and low and behold we found the perfect dress. Now I wish I could show you the previous dress we found before finding this gorgeous one, but Jaci and I amongst our laughter did not even think to pull out the camera, for it looked as though we had placed her in a garbage bag (Now those who are a bridesmaid for me can thank JAci later for her effort and patience she had while I dragged her from store to store and had her try on numerous dresses, not all of them being very flattering.) Anyways the dress we have now found was a beauty, however the discovery of this has thrown a kink in our plans, as I am now on the search for a new flower girl dress, as the tutu idea I had orginally planned is not going to work.
Now I would love to tell you all the lovely details of this day, but have decided to instead head to bed, stay tuned for more lovely happenings in my quest for the perfect day.

Now I wish I could show you the previous dress we found before finding this gorgeous one, but Jaci and I amongst our laughter did not even think to pull out the camera, for it looked as though we had placed her in a garbage bag (Now those who are a bridesmaid for me can thank JAci later for her effort and patience she had while I dragged her from store to store and had her try on numerous dresses, not all of them being very flattering.) Anyways the dress we have now found was a beauty, however the discovery of this has thrown a kink in our plans, as I am now on the search for a new flower girl dress, as the tutu idea I had orginally planned is not going to work.
Now I would love to tell you all the lovely details of this day, but have decided to instead head to bed, stay tuned for more lovely happenings in my quest for the perfect day.
