Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas just passed and New Years is rapidly approaching! I thought this would be a good opportunity to recap on what a hard, but rewarding this year has really been!

There has been loads of hurdles to jump, immigration rules, jobs coming and going, finances, car, you name it and we are still going strong though are ambitious (and maybe even hopeful) for the next your to come and hopefully it brings better times! I don't regret anything and I love my new home and family.

Christmas day was full of great food, family, friends and love. We celebrated with Dave's parents and our good friends later in the afternoon. I just feel blessed to have so many people in our lives looking out for us! :)

My birthday is tomorrow and this will mark the last year of my 20's!! Scary! But I think I will survive! We talked about going to dinner and going to see "Puss in Boots" since I've really wanted to watch it! (it looks so cute!) so that will be fun!

No New Years plans yet, need to talk more about it since Dave's girls are coming down to visit! (yay!) so excited!

Ok, well, I'm rambling now, so look at the pictures and accept my wished for a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new years to come!

Live, laugh, love!

"The Lead of Love"...

"Looking back at the road so far The journey's left it's share of scars. Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight. Looking back it is clear to me, that a man is more than the sum of his deeds, And how you make good of this mess I've made is a profound mystery. Looking back you know you had to bring me through all that I was so afraid of though I questioned the sky now I see why...Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view looking back I see the lead of love Looking back I can finally see how failures bring humility(I'd rather have wisdom and pain) Brings me to my knees (Than be a comfortable old fool)Helps me see my need for thee..." - "The Lead of Love" from Caedmon's Call. I have really been working on putting the pieces of my life back together and I think that one of the things that have been missing in my life is my spiritual growth. It's something I've been thinking and missing for some time now and think that maybe ...

Facing Fears Head On

We all get scared from time to time. It's not unusual, it's not a feeling only subjected to specific individuals, it can influence anyone. The trick is to admit your scared, figure out why, and face it straight on. I think this is something that I've been facing daily since my divorce (and definitely before but it's been more prominently noticeable since my divorce), back then it was "how will I do this on my own?", "will anyone ever love me or am I even capable of loving someone back?" and maybe the funniest of the bunch: "Am I going to become one of those 'spinsters' with 20 cats?!!?" (I don't even really like cats that much! LOL! I much prefer a dog!) But I think this experience here has been the scariest of all experiences. These are new fears like fitting in, adjusting to the culture, acceptance, being able to work and make a good living, driving, etc. It plays on my mind everyday. I know I can do this, I know that 6 mo...

Am I Scared?

"Are you scared?" This is a question I get frequently from people and I sat with myself tonight and decided to try to be really honest with my feelings. So in simple reply: Yes, I am scared! You see, it's scary moving so far away from my family, especially because I'm so close to them. It's scary having to learn a new way of life, living, and rules and regulations and new structure of life...etc. I have fears such as "will they like me?", "Will I make friends?", "Will I be successful at work?", Etc. etc. etc. Even dumb things like driving (on the wrong side of the road no less!) stresses me out! Sometimes I wondered if I was crazy and the questions of "what the heck am I doing!?!? Is this crazy?!" Then I sit and look at pictures and notes and texts I've received which then just makes me want to get there and fit in and continue to love life with the one I love...So am I scared, yes. I may be scared, but I've ne...
