Exciting News!
I know I said I was avoiding blogs for awhile, but I just can't help myself...
Jeremy and I are going to N. Ireland for a visit. We found a great flight deal and we actually have the money for it! I can't believe it's actually happening... I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!

In other news...for the next few days I'm attending the
Moving Forward 2006 conference at the Radisson Hotel in Saskatoon. So far, it's been amazing. (Despite being one of four students out of 300 professional people...intimidating...but still amazing.)
Oh Maurice, When Will We Learn?
I was driving home today minding my own business when I saw about 4 large blue and white conservative signs just outside of the Mall at Lawson Heights. Wow, I thought to myself, I thought that only Saskatoon's current mayor was crazy enough to do that (he currently holds the title of
Canada's Craziest Mayor ) let alone my own Member of Parliament. The lights from the police cruisers that I saw were not alarming at first, as I thought they were making a valiant effort to thwart Maurice Vellacott's attemp to cause traffic accidents. I was wrong though, the police cruisers were in fact dealing with the aftermath of Maurice's victorious attempt to cause an accident. I'm serious here people, the accident was not even 5 metres from where Maurice himself was standing. I think that this man should be paying us to be our Member of Parliament because, party loyalties aside, he really is a moron. If you are not yet convinced, I invite you to explore
this website which I found quite enlightening… disappointing… depressing… any one of those will do.
From the darkness...
into His glorious light.
Yesterday was a day unlike most that I've experienced. We went to my brother's baptism and then to their church after with my family. God got my attention and I'm so glad he did. He had some words through people for Jeremy and I that people who didn't know us could not possibly have known, but I will test them. At the end of the service, I found myself weeping uncontrollably at the altar. 'This is my turning point' All this time God has been there...How did I forget that?
I finally feel like I am breathing fresh air. I know what I have to do and there are no excuses anymore. I'm taking a much needed break from this blog world to focus on what's really important.
Psalm 27:14
Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
Stranded
Ah yes...I am stranded in Regina. Fog, snow, and freezing rain are not a good mix. Although I miss my hubby and son, it isn't too bad. I'm enjoying being at my cousins place. They are great people.
The reason I'm here at all is because I have to commute weekly to Regina for a class. (Let's hope the weather isn't this bad every week) It seems like it will be a great class though. I'm excited about it.
I've taken a few pictures of my new campus (i.e. University of Regina) It's much smaller than the U of S, but I think I like it a lot more. (And the parking on campus here is a lot easier!) I'll post them as soon as I get back to Saskatoon.
