So blessed!

Well, this week, actually I guess this past six months I have been feeling especially blessed. First of all, I got married which has been such a blessing and so much fun. Since Alvaro and I are both students we haven't been too financially set, but we realize is that it doesn't matter.. Whether you have a million dollars or whether you are thirty thousand dollars in debt, God is always there and he is going to bless you. To acknowledge some of these blessings first things first, Alvaro has a job interview tomorrow!! YAY! We are not sure if this is what God wants for us or for Alvaro, but we are praying that whatever comes from it, that it is God's will. Because we know he will have something better in store if this isn't what his will is.. So he has a phone interview tomorrow morning at 10 am Manitoba time, for anyone who could please pray for him and it is a financial services representative position at TD bank!!.. So, prayers please.. Our second blessing was that I got a phone call today and there will be a job opening at the centre I chose for my final practicum and this job opens the end of June which is when I am graduating. I was a little disappointed after christmas because I didn't get a paid practicum and I wasn't sure where I should go, because I had a choice, so I chose this centre not thinking there would be a job available when I graduate, but now there is, and I am thankful because I loved it there and I loved the staff and children there..! So I am going there in May and June and could be working there full time just coming out of school!! I can see the different ways in which God may be telling me he wants me to go to this place... Maybe I can do some good at this centre and I am just amazed at how God is speaking to me and taking care of us! Taking care of our future! What more can I say. I see God continually opening doors and providing for this small family of two, and he is just so good.! So continued prayers and just don't forget to thank God for all that he does for you! God is so good! p.s. don't forget to look down below at another blog posted today!!

Scaredy Pants

Hello all! I wanted to post this picture when we got back from our trip, but I forgot.. So, here it is. Alvaro, Chelsey, Eva and I all went for a walk one day on the Mann's farm... We found something out that day, Chelsey is scared of horses. I am too, but I can at least stand by them.. :) I guess the horse was just rubbing Chelsey the wrong way.. :)

SURPRISE!!

Well, lastnight, I threw a surprise party for Alvaro. It is his birthday next week (March 1), and I just love surprising him, so I did... We started off going to the IVORY restaurant with "Joy", but he didn't know other people were there to celebrate with us. So, we had a nice supper and then afterwards came back to our house and had cake, chips and dip(thanks Pen, it was good dip) and we had a delicious fruit platter! We then played cranium, too many people for Settlers of Catan, and that was a lot of fun. A lot of laughs and it was fun celebrating Alvaro!:)

!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALVARO!!

Also, this week Alvaro and I stole Austin and Justin from Penny and looked after them for the afternoon. We had lunch, played with playdough, watched movies and had lots of fun. We love these kids

(& Brandon too of course)

From +10 to -30

Well, we flew away from BC yesterday! Talking about flying I have to say I think we had the worst luck this trip with our flights, but needless to say we survived. On our way to Victoria last Saturday we got on our plane in the morning from Winnipeg and were ready to go, and they told us we had to get off the plane again because there was a security breach... Don't ask we what it was, but I just listened cause I really wanted to leave. So the rest of the trip was fine, but yesterday on our way home we left Victoria about half an hour late and had an extremely bumpy ride, which if you don't know, doesn't sit well with me. Then we landed in Calgary, unfortunately after we landed supposedly there was a fire in an electrical outlet or something and so the runway lights weren't working and therefore we were stuck in the airport for an hour and a half, which means our flight was super late home and we didn't get home until two in the morning, oh what fun hey? But anyways, to the highlights of the week.

We got to spend the week with these wonderful people:

We had so much fun, and getting to know Eva was amazing. We got to get up early with her and feed her, we changed her bum (which may not sound fun but it was), we also got to cuddle with her so much. Alvaro and I are just really grateful for the time we spent there and how much it meant to us. It was a great holiday and well worth any amount of money..

Some highlights from the week are singing in the worship team with Uncle Kirk and Pete, that was sure fun. I am sure for Alvaro his highlights were golfing, 2 times... Lucky for him, it will probably never happen again.. haha, jk.! We got to go on walks with Chelsey and Eva, we walked on the harbour with Pete, and drove around to see the ocean, and then walked up Mount Doug.. It was just great, and I could go on forever, but this is getting pretty long. So, check out our photos! And thanks Pete and Chels for the talks, the walks, and for letting us hold that little girl so much....

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, it was my birthday last week and I just wanted to share with everyone what my sweet husband did. I came home from work to a clean house, flowers on the table, and a gift and a movie. Then he took me out for a nice dinner, it was a great birthday and just wanted to brag about my hubby.. He's so sweet.. AND it's our six month anniversary next week!
