Relaxing in the Prairies #2

Wade and I took a sunday to head out fishing, we went in the afternoon and didn't catch a thing. Jed and Lindsay came and joined us at around seven and then we started catching stuff... well I did anyway =3
I caught three fish, Jed and Lindsay each caught one and poor Wade the fisherman didn't catch any. He had a good time though.

This ones a keeper for sure...Wade and LindsayWade and JedMe and baby

Last year we went to this same fishing spot and had a relaxing day in the prairies, check out the photos from that trip too, Relaxing in Praries

First Sight

Good News Confirmed

I had my suspicions, but as of January 26, I know for sure. The doctors confirmed Wade and I are having a baby. He's suggested a name for a girl and I like it, I've suggested a name for a boy and he likes it now we have to come up with the middle names. Currently we are keeping the names a secret.

12 Weeks Pregnant

I love my husband

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WADE!!

Since it's Wades birthday today I'm writting an entry all about him, how much I care about him and think of him as a very standup guy in this fallen world. We have been a very blessed couple. How few couples in history get to select their marriage partner and have this beutiful and intimate desire to be together? This is the way God intended relationships to be.

I am looking forward to a life spent with Wade. He's a thoughtful and affectionate husband, a concerned and devoted friend, and a faithful employee.

He's sincere about whatever he believes and allows his beleifs to influence every area of his life. which is an excellent quality especially when paired with another fine quality of his, teachability. If what he believes can be logically challenged he will change his perspective, especially if it is some truth from the bible that is questioning his mindset.

He's devoted to his dreams and can sacrifice smaller joys for a larger purpous.

I'm constantly amazed by how attentive he is to both myself and the people he cares about around him. How willing he is to drop whatever his priorities may be for that day or moment and do what his wife or friends need right then instead.

I also have to commend him for being an excellent provider and taking good care of us. We can pay the bills every month, do grocery shopping, and on top of that we've been blessed with a house two cars and all the clothing we need, maybe a little bit more on my part =3 . Thanks Wade for your hard work.

I hope in this marriage I can be a blessing from God to Wade, as I submit to him as the man in my life, and leader of our life to come. As we delight in and struggle through work, play, relaxing, learning, and all the other wonderful and at times confusing things of life, doing it together side by side. Trusting him as the forrunner in each situation.

And this going out espcially to Wade, More than telling you about these things, I hope you can see them in my life as I grow in maturity.

I've got it good

I've really got it good. From looking in some people might say we have it rough right now, but I know otherwise.

We began this new adventurous leg of life with the best foot forward. On the wedding day Wade was extremely considerate of me and making sure the whole thing went as perfectly for me as he could make it, and as I was floored with this romantic surprise, I returned the favor. He had no attitude of "you give I give" but rather one of genuine love, I followed suit and also took this stance.

Attitudes like this are hard work and difficult to maintain, they require time concentration and effort and as with many attitudes come in waves of dedication, here a while gone a while. This time it persisted a good two weeks, just long enough to be on the recetion for the honey moon.

Let me tell you, we had a few "trials" that week, if you can call them that. Really though, how can you call it trials, we're out in the beutiful Canadian scenary with all the delicious food we could want, gasolene, and shelter, I mean c'mon what more can you want? Just cause we only caught two fish in four days of fishing, after driving three hours to a new lake on the fourth day the boat trailer broke and we had to wait in the car for help three hours (six hours sitting in the car) and cut the whole trip short... oh no the worlds coming to an end we have it so rough... I'm kidding

If we're kicked out of the house because of renovations: it means we own a house and have wonderful people who are willing to work on it for us, If we catch no fish: it means we have the time and freedom to sit in a boat on a beutiful lake and listen to the birds. If the boat trailer breaks: it means that we own a boat. If we have to wait three hours for help: it means there are people who care about us enought to drive so far.

I'm not meaning, "make life perfect by looking at the posative side of everything" because sometimes there really is no posative side, I just realize there's a need for gratitude sometimes.

Ready and set to go

May 9th was the big day, my name recently went from Moman to Marks: this is the blog of a newly wed.

I'm not the only one who thought it would never happen, I graduated from high school today and got married on May 9, 2009, just last month.

Now in this newly revealed wide wide world I'm stepping out into, I am recently uncovering the freedom and terror found in making my own choices and tackling that scary concept called planning.
Wondering what next. I don't want to spend my life playing Sims or watching movies what do I want to do with my life?

Here I sit this evening married and graduated with our own house and car... and monthly payments, isn't this where every young adult dreams of being? A cause of grief today is our inability to live in our house just now because of serious renovations, but it's a hope in progress and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am fresh to many things, fresh to marriage, to adulthood, and being at long last independant of school

The new discoveries of this fresh day

TKD tournament

Our first taekwondo tournament as a married couple, only a month of marriage at this point. I got gold for patterns and bronze for fighting (aka there where three people in my divition and I lost)

My single fight of this tournament, I'm the one in blue in the first fight.
