| Time for more Snow Pictures! |
Hello everyone! As you might have heard, we've been having quite a snowstorm in this part of the continent and it's been pretty crazy. Luckily our city knows how to handle the snow so the roads were pretty good today but hardly a soul was out yesterday (well, except poor randy who was driving to our house from Guelph!). By yesterday evening though the snowploughs had been out doing their thang for hours. It's weird to see all this snow....I'm always so amazed by it. I don't really like it because we have to drive in it to get to work, but if I didn't have to drive I'd think it was kind of cool. Here's some pics.

| Giving Thanks |
 Here's the view outside our window today ---it's happened every year since I was born, you'd think I'd be used to it by now! For some reason though, I'm always shocked/enamored by it each winter and put like 80 pics of it on my blog... I guess this year's no different! ;)
Sooooo it's thanksgiving...a glorious holiday for Americans, almost on equal grounds with Christmas. I'm sad that I am not once again with my parents and brother, especially because we live so close now. But we're going down there in 2 weeks so we'll celebrate an "in-between christmas/thanksgiving" then. And honestly I totally forgot it was Thanksgiving until this morning so I think I might go to the store and buy at least something resembling a thanksgiving meal. And since I don't have the YWAMers around that made us all go around and say what we're thankful for (which I always secretly enjoyed!) I'll do it on my blog.
I'm thankful for:
- My family- My husband, mom, dad, and brother, K-Dawg, Susan, and Kyle, my Aunts and Uncles and grandparents and cousins, a great bunch to be related to!
- my home - I have a warm home with a bed and food and computer and TV...all sorts of comfort things that I'm lucky to have
- my education - something that much of the world would give up a lot more that I have, for the opportunity of getting an education
- TV shows - they bring me lots of joy
- a new Church - looking forward to getting more involved, the pastor invited us for supper too
- Friends - though we're all spread out around the world, we are lucky to have a spider web of people that care about us. I miss you all - a lot
- my health - it's been over 2 years since I've had any sort of bechets break outs... amazing. I'm also thankful for my weight loss and that I feel so much better in my own skin
- Canadian residency - to know that I will be able to live here forever without having to renew a visa is an awesome feeling
Lots of things to be thankful for. Happy thanksgiving everyone!  Labels: ontario, snow, Thanksgiving, winter |

| The Goose is Getting Fat |
Well, the red cups are out at Starbucks which means christmas is coming! Yay...I love christmas. Not a huge fan of the winter though, which is fast approaching in this neck of the woods. Craig and I were out on a walk a few days ago and by the time we were coming around the block in felt like the beginning of a blizzard! Luckily it wasn't cold enough for it to stick. We tried to get some pictures of it but they didn't turn out too great...you can kind of see the snow though.
The job hunt is still going okay, went into Old Navy this morning for an interview. It's promising, they're looking to hire 15 people but it's only a seasonal position. If offered though, I will most likely take it. The manager said some people will be able to stay on after christmas, so maybe I could be one of those people...who knows! I just keep praying that whatever the right place for me will come up and that I'll know it's where I belong. Until then, I'll just keep doing my part.
