Just A Few Funnies From This Past Week..

Brandy consumed a lot of whipped cream on sunday thanks to me :D

I made and dried my own noodles for chicken noodle soup yesterday. I made them a bit too thick they were like french fries in the soup..hah.. at least they still tasted good! 

Bekah trying on my headband and fake glasses! hehe..

Well I guess this picture isn't from this past week, but hey it's still kinda funny! This bald little girl is me and I'm not sure where the creepy doll came from! hah

If I Were A Carpenter

"If I Were A Carpenter"...ever heard that song?

This past Sunday was our farewell service at Church and a lady from church changed the lyrics to that song and sort of sang the song for us (she read it out with the instrumental music playing in the background..so it was actually almost a rap, haha..) Anyway, it was pretty special! It just reminded me of how much my/our lives have changed since living here.
She gave me a copy of her lyrics and I just thought I'd share them with you guys.


If I Were A Carpenter

If I were a student
And you a corn lady
Would you go out with me anyway?
Would you help me study?

If you were a student
And I a corn lady
I'd go out with you anyway
I'd help you study

If a preacher was my trade
Would you still find me?
I'd be eating the pies you made
Slippin' to MacGregor for you to see

Savin' up for rings and things
Savin' for tomorrow
Givin' up my loneliness
Givin' you all my tomorrows

If I were a youth leader
And teens to be mindin'
Would you help me clean the mess
And leave the place a shinin'?

If you were a youth leader
At the drop-in mindin'
I'd not miss it for anythin'
I'd help you keep the place a shinin'

Savin' kids was on our minds
Savin' them from sorrow
We gave them love and kindness
Sowing seeds for tomorrow

If I worked my hands in antler
Would you help me find them?
You answered me, "Yes I would!"
And you tramped the hills and woods

Now I'll be a carpenter
We'll have to move maybe
But you married me anyway
We've had our baby

Movin' on is on our minds
To a house in Herbert we go
A new life we hope to find
Letting God plan our tomorrow


Here is a link to the "real song"

If I were a Carpenter-Johnny Cash & June Carter

Hi, I'm New Here!

It's kind of funny that I've started writing a blog.

I never thought I'd be one of those blogg-y people.. but here I am. 

I guess the reason I've started this blog is because...

• 11 days from now we are moving 6 hours west to the town in Saskatchewan where my husband grew up. We bought a house and officially "got the keys" yesterday, even though we haven't left the province yet. Although my husband (Jared) will be close to his family, I am leaving most of my family and friends behind. I'm hoping this blog will help bridge the gap.
• My mom and dad are grandparents to our adorable almost-4 month old daughter Bekah. When we told my parents that we were planning on moving my dad said, "That's fine.. but Bekah stays here!" So hopefully this way they will still feel "close" to their granddaughter.
• I am getting pretty sick of facebook. It's wasting my time. I'm checking it way too often and it's just starting to bore me! I'm seriously considering deleting it. We'll see...
• My sister-in-law kind of encouraged me to write one. I told her that although I like to read blogs, I just wouldn't know what to say. She said I wouldn't even have to say very much, I could just post pictures so that my family could see what happens in our little home...A PHOTO BLOG?? That doesn't seem so hard... thus the idea was born.
