Busy Bee

Good Morning!

It's just after 2am, and I'm still unable to fall asleep. Thankfully, I'm able to get plenty done in this time while sleep eludes me.

Earlier today, err I guess yesterday now, Jared and I fixed his car. You heard that right, I helped fix a car. To be honest I didn't do much, but I go a bit of dirt under my nails :). Be proud of me! I've also been getting paint in every pore of my body!

I'm slowly getting unpacked, though it's looking better and better after each box. I'm working on a wall collage of all our picture frames, and it's been a lot of fun to create! I can't wait to go through our pictures, and finally have them displayed properly, instead of sitting in a dark box in the closet. OoO, and the roll top desk looks great, I'm so glad that it didn't get damaged from the move.

I've been getting all nostalgic looking at all my grandparents things that I got after my grandparents passed. It's funny that the more my life progresses, the more I look back to them. They hold so much of what I claim as my identity today, and I'm proud to be their grandchild. I just wish that they could have seen me get married, and when I have kidlets of my own.

Now a few prayer requests if you will! I have a job interview on Monday, and I'm really praying that this is the place for me. Chris will be traveling from California back to Canada at the end of next week, just that he would have safe passage. For my sister, just that she will give everything up to God.

Wall Mural

I am doing a mural wall in the bedroom, and I am taking my inspiration from this picture below. If anyone would like to contribute ideas - or a skillful hand, , I'm open for advice.



The walls are blue at the moment, and I want to do the detail in chocolate brown and accents with tan; maybe a few accents in a persimmon colour I have around also.

Lucky Wishes

I need all the good thoughts, magic voodoo, prayers, in-thought-of-you candles, etc I can get. I have a job interview tomorrow - whether I get a job offer is all that stands between my husband and I.

On Tuesday it'll have been a month since I've seen him.

Turkey Day

Happy turkey day to my fellow Canadians!

Gobble gobble :)

Día de la Lluvia

It has to be said, that the smell of rain before it falls is divine. I didn't realize I'd missed it so much until today.


On another note, I haven't quite found a job yet. I'll hopefully find something soon, I miss having mi amore around. I set the limit that if I haven't found something suitable at the end of this month then I'll start looking in the other less desirable areas I have experience in.

I have been thinking of what courses I'm wanting to take, and how I'll be able to coordinate working full time and doing schooling at the same time. I think I'll have to meet with an admissions/course counselor to make sure everything will work out. I'm looking at a BS in Computing Sciences, and eventually I'll go for my Masters. I figure I'll have to do everything slower, but oh well, schooling is schooling.

I've been painting up a storm since getting here, which has been quite fun. I'll post pictures of how good it looks once we have the furniture up. I also rejuvenated a pair of frames that mum bought awhile ago - now they're a sleek and sexy black, I can't wait to find some cute b/w photos to go in them.

Time for me to go to el mercado!

O'Canada

I are home! 18 grueling hours later, I arrived in my little slice of paradise.

It's been really refreshing being here. I can't describe it other than a sigh of relief to be back. It's quite different from the last time I was here but it's still the same in a lot of ways.

Pray that I find work soon :)
