January 2010
The start of this month means the start of school for Chris. This will be quite the adventure for us and do I ever admire him for all he is doing. You see, he has started his Bachelor of Networking and Communications degree from Devry University. This will supplement his previous work experience and certifications that he has completed throughout the years. And he is working fulltime at the Workers Compensation Board here in Calgary as a Computer Technician. We hope that one day he can get more of his “dream job” and we will save for retirement and family and mission. I think that I would be satisfied and happy as long as I put my efforts in to serving in the church the rest of my life.
I want Chris to know that I so admire his willingness to start this journey. It is not easy and won’t be easy as he has so much to do in the next few years. But I believe in him! And it will prepare us both for the future business of life. We will work together and pool our resources and I will try to be the best wife ever! I will continue to work my hardest as he works his hardest. All I have seen are smiles and a positive attitude from him and I want to follow that example.

Wow, it has been a long while since we have written in our Journal. Today it is a beautiful frosty day outside and from our apartment you can see the frost on thousands of trees overlooking from above. It reminds me of Lady and the Tramp – the beginning. Today I feel so grateful for my husband. He treats me like an angel. I don’t always deserve it but he is determined to make me into one and I want to be one. He gave me a blessing the other day to help me through this pregnancy. It was a beautiful blessing and it has given me strength. Yep, we are pregnant. I found out at a walk in clinic on January 10 as I wanted an X-ray of my tailbone as it was never x-rayed after I fell off my horse Danny 7 years ago. The doctor asked me if I wanted a pregnancy test for kicks and I said “sure, why not,” and he came back and said, “I think you’re pregnant.” So then began
another journey in life. I never would have imagined getting pregnant so quickly due to certain health factors but we feel so blessed and know that Heavenly Father has a plan for everything and this is part of his plan. We are so very excited for this chapter in life.

This month ended a difficult time for me. Not only have I been very sick from pregnancy – vomiting and nausea galore but I have had a previous work issue haunt me for the past 2 years and it surfaced again in January. I don’t want to go too deep into this issue as I want to put it behind me but I will say the following: I have been blessed so much – more than I deserve! Mom has been a blessing as she has escorted me to Edmonton several times to be with me as I have gone to certain meetings that were not fun to attend but necessary nonetheless. Chris has given me several blessings that I pray have helped me say the right thing at the right time. All I have wanted to do was be honest in my dealings. With the prayers of loved ones, things have been resolved and I have been able to continue my Nursing career. This is such a blessing and at times I feel I do not deserve it! I do continue with some hesitancy and some feelings of inadequacy in Nursing but I believe that through my imperfections, Heavenly Father has given me a second chance and has let me continue forward without more setbacks than needed. I continue to pray that I can add to the nursing profession and fulfill my potential in that area.
