Only 6 days until Jesus' Birthday!!!! Each year our 2 precious little girls go to their Grandmother's for the weekend at this time to celebrate their birthdays. They are both born in December....great planning I know ;) What this meant each year is that hubby and I would run to the liquor store and beer store, call up friends and have great food, drinks and friends with lots of sleeping it off for the weekend. We were always wrecked when they returned. What were we going to do this year? ...
People Places and Things
Well for someone who "gets" it, I know nothing at times. I find I'm over analyzing people, places and things.

SO a bit about my history would be an appropriate place to begin. I was born a super cute lil thing to a British Mum and Dad who ...
Progress rather than perfection
Okay day 2 of the blog life, I must say there is a ton of amazing blogs to read. Amazing meaning: witty, funny, gross, challenging, thought provoking, sad, misdirected....frankly almost any adjective I can come up with and yes I'm using a Thesaurus. Today I have been reflecting on my Journey thus far and have to say I've had it good but often was so wrapped up in self and the evils of to notice. Since as far back as I remember I needed to be the best at everything I tried....grade 1 it was ...
