Ray & Coral's Wedding Weekend

This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to Edmonton and be a part of Ray and Coral's wedding. Mike was a groomsmen and Megan was her Uncle Ray's flower girl! She was absolutely sweet!! At first we weren't sure if she was actually going to go down the aisle BUT...as soon as her Uncle Ray bent down at the end of the aisle she began her journey. Then when she started getting the "awwww..." reaction she began to "work" the crowd! She was truly sweet. The wedding was so beautiful and my new sister in law was a vision and Ray, well he was simply handsome!! BUT my husband takes the cake! HE was SMOKIN'!!! Sure glad I got to go home with him *Wink* Really though, it was a wonderful break being able to see different family members. Super refreshing.

Now we are back at college and we are only two days away from finding out where our first appointment will be! It is unbelievable! I am so excited to see where God and the Army has placed us.

Also I would like to ask you to pray for my best friends...I can't share too much about what to pray for but I CAN say that they have been trying to have a baby for many years. Please pray for peace and that a miracle would happen.

Well, I think that is all I have for you now. I am SURE I will have more a little later. ;) Take care my friends...HUGS.

An Array of STUFF!

Hey! So this will be a buffet of information for you...I am not promising a really great blog but I am giving you an update. Hopefully you will feel loved enough by just knowing what is happening in our lives. There will be some funny Megan stories and some details about commissioning as well as school. So let's begin with a funny Megan story (they are always a hoot).

While getting ready for daycare/school:
Megan singing in the living room while I am getting breakfast ready:
"I love you, you love me, I'M your happy fam-il-yyyy...With a great big hug and kiss for yooouuu, won't you guide my sleigh tonight!"

No kidding she had the tune DOWN PAT! LOL! That kid is sooo cute! Another phrase I want to throw in for good measure is how she asks to do something for a "few while" instead of saying a "few minuets." For example instead of asking "Mommy may I play for a few minuets?" she would say "Mommy may I play a few while?" Cracks me up. There are some phases she says that we correct right away but that one we haven't touched because for now it is just too cute! :) Alright, here is an update on college life, including commissioning.

Well, we are in our last week of classes and we are are headed into exams here next week. It isn't too bad because we only have one exam on Wednesday and one take home exam that I am half done. YAY!! Then after that, one more major paper to do and we are finished for a while!! Next Thursday my family and I are flying off to Edmonton to go to Mike's brothers wedding, it will be so nice to get away. It won't be too restful as both Mike and Meg's are in the wedding party and I am preaching on the Sunday but none the less it will be so nice to go home!

As for appointments...16 sleeps till we find out where we are going! YIPPEE!!! We are SOOOOOOOOOOO excited! Commissioning is coming up in Toronto fast as well. That will be fun too! All this is exciting because we can see an end to all the school work. I am ready to begin the real hard work! LOL! Of course I am going to miss the community I live in but I am trying not to think about that just yet *sniff, sniff*. I have made so many valuable friendships and I can hardly believe that I have to leave them. Ok, I am thinking about this too much so let me throw in another Meg story:

While playing "House" with her good friend James:
Mike:(peering into Megan's room, with a hushed voice) "Melissa come here quick...look at this.."
As I quietly peered into Megan's room, this is what I saw:
James was laying in Megan's bed with the covers tucked up to his chin as Megan knelt down by "his" bed with a bowed head and folded hands...she was praying softly for her "child."
She was the Mommy and he was the child and she was tucking him in for the night *SIGH*. This made our hearts as parents feel soooo good. Thank you Lord, we must be doing something right!

Anyhow, I am going to end of on that note. Enjoy this Easter season. May God bless you as you reflect on Him and what He has done for us. I love you ALL!
