| Hello again world of xanga...WOAH...it has been forever and a day since I have updated this thing. So why decide to update now? I dunno it seems a lot of things have changed in my life and I remembered how much I loved having a blog. A place where I can just write about what is going on in my life and share with the whole world what is going on...YAY!
I'm still in disbelief over the fact that I am in my final semester of my bachelors degree. It seems ver surreal, it's almost like I can't believe that in about a month and a half, I will no longer be an R.N. but a B.S.N. Amazing huh?
I went to a retreat about a month ago and the speaker asked us if we had a LIFE VERSE. As I was thinking about it, I think that mine would be this one (well actually it's a few verses):
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation, if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
2 Corinthians 1:3-7
amazing huh? God is good...through everything He is so good!

| Well hello all....
I have decided I'm bringing xanga back...really I am at home bored and have nothing to do but post up stupidities. I am very angry right now at my mechanic. Usually he is like the best mechanic ever and he gives us the best prices but a couple of weeks ago I busted my car...the head casquet blew on it and apparently I cracked the head of the motor too. He told me it would cost 750$...and I was like wow that seems like a lot of money but I have no choice because I need a car right? Well today, when I came to pay the bill, it came up to 1200$...if I had of known it would be that much, I don't think I would have had the car repaired, it has like over 200 000 km on it and it's a 1997. So now I am poor...YAY me.
The worst in all of this was that my point this summer was to earn a bit of cash you know so I can get through the school year without too much trouble, and maybe go on a trip at Christmas time. Well, because of the car bill, and also the fact that I have only 2 shifts at work confirmed from now until the end of the summer, that trip is not looking like it is gonna happen for me anytime soon...which really kinda sucks. I'll have a hard time getting through the school year without having to find a job.
In other news though, we went to see the legend: Paul Mcartney on the plains of Abraham on Sunday night. What a great time we all had and mostly what a great show! Man...he did an amazing amazing job, and it was so great to me there...
A sadder note, my aunt Nene died today. She was battling colon cancer, I know she will be missed by everyone...
That's all I got for you folks!

| Hello everyone!
Thought I would update you all on my life. First of all, I got the job that I wanted...it was so weird going in today and filling out papers, it was like ok this is for real, I'm actually going to work. I was so excited when I got the news but noone was home so I called Melissa. Poor her she must have thought I was insane. Anyways, this really brightened up my weekend a lot. Although it was raining on Saturday morning and Sunday, I feel like I had a good weekend. Friday, I had breakfast with a friend from last year in Quebec City who is now living in Montreal, and then I went to see Melissa and the kids. We took Kassy and Kedric to the park. I cannot even believe how much Kassy is growing. She is so much fun now cause she actually understands what people are saying to her. She says my name too (ok it sounds like my name, but maybe she is just saying mama...I like to think she is saying Hannah).
On Saturday, we didn't do much, but Melissa found a double push chair at a garage sale. It was really weird cause just the day before she said she wanted to find one. Then, me and Missy left the kids at home and went window dress shopping. We actually think we might make our dresses for the wedding because there is nothing we like. At least we kinda found a color. It's fun to shop even if you don't have that much money...just look at things. However I am getting concerned with how much weight I have gained because of the medication I am on. My clothes hardly fit me anymore. It frustrates me because I worked so hard at being small and now I can't stop eating. Like every 2-3 hours. I have been trying to eat fruit more but it's tough when you wake up in the middle of the night starving. Anyways...hopefully it will stablelize. Mom and I have been talking about going to the pool to swim. I love swimming and it's good exercise so maybe it will help my weight gain. Ah medication...it helps but it causes other problems.
I think that is all the news from here. I got a <coup de vieux> yesterday when I went to see Eloise perform in the McGill choir. A lot of the kids (now young adults) were performing too like Sarah Heron and Matthew Heron and Laura Dionne...so weird.
I guess that is how the cookie crumbles for now. Keep praying for the job thing sometimes I have a hard time having enough energy to get through the day something that I will need while working!

| So everyone wanted me to update xanga.
Here I am updating xanga.
The past couple of months have been kind of different. I have decided that negativity is out. It's so easy to focus on what is wrong with the world rather then focusing on what's good. There are so many things I can be thankful for right now: a home, a family that loves each other, health, the opportunity to serve at home...
I guess a lot of people have wanted an update on what is going on...since I got out of the hospital my life has been about going to job interviews and doing therapy. 1 thing about therapy I am not really sure what it is doing for me. It's so good to be able to get out of the house and talk to other people who are going through some of the same issues that is true, and it's nice to draw ( we do a lot of drawing with pastels), and express myself through art. I just started going to a psychologist also and I think that will help me. The lady I am seeing is very nice, and I do like her...I think for now my biggest prayer request is for a job. I want to feel like I am contributing to society and not just mooching off my parents...I really don't like that feeling at all.
The good news is I have had several interviews. Although I am surprised that Pharmaprix never called me back (I mean seriously how qualified do you have to be to work at Pharmaprix?), I am still waiting on responses from 2 other interviews I went to, and then there are the people that haven't called yet. Anyways, that is encouraging to think I may be able to have somewhat of a normal job again. That is something you can be praying for, that I would get a job, not only get it but be able to keep it also.
I'm also thinking about the future and that means going back to school. I know I will be going back in September and a starting to get excited about that.
Oh by the way my birthday was really good. I had 2 cakes. One that Corina bought for me and one that my mom and dad bought (a dairy queen one with a flower on it). It was good times...it kinda reminded me of being a kid again...
Anyways, I probably should go do something productive with my evening
that's the news from here...keep praying and trusting God!

| yesterday when I was at the Célébrons, I had a long conversation with a new person for the first time in a while, it was really cool. Sometimes I think you get so stuck in your rut that you forget about new people...but mostly I think it was a good conversation because it really challenged me and made me think.
I was telling this person that I was really stressed about graduation and what I am going to do about graduation and stuff like that and I didn't really know what I needed to be doing, and stuff like this and this is what he said: I see my life as `the big picture`...like where do I want to be in 10-15 years, but at the same time I consider all of my life experience into that...I look at what I have done, what experiences I have had and then I decide this is where I want to go. So really, this next thing I am doing is a step in that direction.
It`s so weird how I don't think like that. I never really think of my life plan what it is, where I am doing according to who I am and all that. I think I have a general idea but nothing concrete...I mean I know that generally I want God to be glorified through my life, but how is that happening specifically? Or how am I going to ensure that happens...I have no concrete plans. (maybe that is something I need to work on) I haven't spent that much time thinking about how that can happen.
So yeah, it was a really encouraging conversation as I am faced with so many decisions right now in my life...and something I am going to take some time thinking about!
that's the way the cookie crumbles
