well... we made it safe and sound to Ontario, already went to see the Niagara falls last Saturday, wow time flies! It was gorgeous! I will post pics once I am on my own computer at home, but the ice and snow all around the falls made it the most beautiful site to see. And the tourist shops around the falls were fun as well, we ventured into the Hershey chocolate store, the fudge shop and the coke store. It was incredible to know that just a few feet away on the other side of the falls was New York! I saw New York! only I was the only one with my passport so we didn't walk across the bridge to visit the USA side. That made me really sad, so instead of stating that I had been in New York I can only say that I had seen New York. But I have a plan, that next time we come here to Ontario for a visit we will make it two weeks so we can spend one week here with the family and then the other week we will rent a car and drive the eight hours to New York City!!!!! I'm psyched to plan that trip, won't happen for a few years though.

Timmy is the most adorable little baby boy. I keep telling him that he is my favorite nephew, because he is the only one I have, so far! He seriously makes me want to have a house full of boys someday, even though Cam still wants a baby girl to throw into the mix for fun. He is so much fun to cuddle and carry around, since babysitting him a few times already this week I feel much more confident in my abilities. Should be fun when that time of life starts.

Ive started researching for my paper already today, and Lindsay you sure are right about the amount of information there is out there. I have narrowed my topic down to anxiety sensitivity in development. I am very curious once I start diving into the journal articles, what I will find and how I will narrow down the subject even further. If I receive a good grade, then I will post the paper for you all to read if you're interested. I'm always protective of my work, kind of nervous about how others will respond to it. I need to get over that if I'm to move on in school.

Jen, my sister in law has got me thinking about being a librarian. Although the psychology counselling degree at Trinity still has my attention. I was looking into it further the other day and for some reason it doesn't feel as intimidating as it did a few months ago. But who knows what direction I will end up going, if any at all. It's just so overwhelming to me. I want a career, that's for sure. But decisions like this are always so difficult to make.

Time for some grub! I hear Jen juggling pots and pans downstairs. My diet has been tossed out the window this past month... I am very disappointed in myself, and still feel very sick on a daily basis. I don't know what to do to kick myself into gear, but I hope that I can keep fighting hard to be healthy, especially since my IBS symptoms are returning with vengeance.

Blessings from Ontario! :)

The homework is getting done so that the trip to Ontario can be filled with lots and lots of family boding time! :) But the reality of my adult psychology research paper being due eight days after we get home from the trip is going to be hard for me to swallow while Im there. SO... Im going to have to start researching online at their place to ease my panic and get a good start on my thesis. Im planning to do the topic of either mood disorders with a concentration on anxiety or premenopause and how the symptoms can affect everyday life. Anyone have any other ideas? Or good research sites and resources?

Other than school being fabulous, things around here are great. Cam is working on a regular basis which is such a praise item for us. However, the hours he works each day are not full time so that is still a need for prayer. I do have an important prayer item that involves my sister in law Jen, her husband Dan and their new son Timothy who we are visiting in Ontario next week.

Timothy may have cystic fibrosis, the doctors tried a sweat test on him and the results came back inconclusive so now we have to wait until Tim is two months old for his next test. There is no family history of cystic fibrosis on either side of the families so we are in high hopes that the test comes back negative and that little Timmy is okay. Please pray that he is completely healthy and that when Tim is tested in March again, that the results are good. Thank you, we all appreciate it.

until next time... blessings!
