We had to say good bye....

To our finch Shorty, she got ill unexpectedly last night and Jay did all he could to try and make her better. I fell in love with him all over again as I watched him handle her so gently and then feed her water through a straw.... that soft side of him is one of the things I love the most. At some point through the night Shorty died :( It was so odd to not hear her singing when I walked through the door and now as I am sitting at my computer its strange because she always threw the seeds she didn't like at me while I was sitting here the little bugger. However I don't miss her sharing her baths with me... she would crawl in her water then shake like crazy and spray me... oh who am I kidding I will miss that . So off to heaven goes our adorable little bird where she can join all the others who have gone before her.

Hellooooooooooo Out there....

Where in the world did the last few weeks go. It feels like it was last night that I wrote the last post. Lifes life around here. Nothing overly exciting to report... unless you count the way cool surround sound stero system that someone decided to junk. Ahhh got to love my hubby for hauling things upstairs... seriously though I can't believe the stuff people in this building throw away. Oh well I won't complain .... unless its MORE computer stuff UGH lol. We are going to relocate the other stero to the bedroom and with the plan to buy a TV for there we might have to invest in an entertainment system too lol... oh to dream. One day we will hopefully have unlimited ( or close to it anyways) cash resources so we can have what ever our hearts desire. They did hire a new person at work so hopefully that means I get a little more free time...... sigh that would be so wonderful. Off to update the Health Blog now. I promise to try and get here more often even if its just to ramble :P

Its gonna be tough...

to beat 2005... but we can sure try. It was a pretty amazing year for Jay and I. 2004 had us meet but it was 2005 that saw us fall in love... well at least finally admiting we loved each other. Then came the descion for him to come to Canada so we could begin our lives together. We settled into life and without a doubt knew we had made the right decison when we decided we wanted to make our lives one. Our love continued to grow and in October we made it offical and I changed my name. All my years of swearing I would never marry just disappeared as I said my vows and forever joined my life to his and for once I totally felt complete... who would have thought it lol. We breezed through our first Thanksgiving and Christmas together... and now starting a totally fresh new year. I think back over the past year and can't believe the changes and struggles we have faced... but seeing those things also lets me know that making it through this first year even stronger than when we started will mean that there is nothing we can't do together. There is very little I would change for 2006... I want our relationship to continue to grow and flourish of course and there is nothing the two of us want more than to start a family of our own... what I really want is to have these feelings of total joy even on the hardest days to stay with me. I want to always remember what I love about him and what has made us such a great team!
