Life of an oil field worker's wife

Irvin has been gone now for five days, I'm missing him a lot. He's somewhere like 8-9 hours drive away...crazy eh?! I'm so thankful that he loves his work and that he enjoys providing for us. He's the best there is! My dog is really going crazy, he has to be where ever I am. I'm thinking he misses Irvin too. Well, I finished all my work for last semester and started my book report for next semester.

I'm really looking forward to next week sometime....I can't let you know why just yet... :D

My best girl friend in Manitoba is getting married on July 10th! It's so sweet because that is my parents anniversary too! We are making plans to go, vacation time! yea!! I wasn't expecting to go back to MB this year but now that my friend Olivia is getting married I HAVE too! and I want

too!!!

Yesterday was New Year's Eve. I didn't want to be alone at home with my dog and a movie. So I went out to Pastor Sheryll's place and had so much fun there! There were a couple of families there to, the children were having tons of fun in the basement playing and we had lots of fun munching on food and playing a great game called sticks...which took 2 and 1/2 hours to play! that was a short game someone said!lol For that reason I was home just after 2 am and I stayed in bed till about 11:30...that is very weird for me...guess I was totally tired and needed my beauty sleep!

Today was a great day (after I woke up). I was interrupted by a phone call during my exercises! Eliane, called me! She's my Bolivian daughter. She and another girl who was from Quebec lived at our house for 3 months last year. She was such a joy to have around. She misses me so much and talks about Irvin and I all the time. I wish I could fly her up her or me down there. I talked with her 7 year old sister and her mom and dad. Of course all in Spanish. I really wish that I could understand more spanish. Eliane knows how much I know so she talked so and plain with me where as her family where fast and asked me questions that I could translate. The joys of langues eh!

After that I went to Pastor Joan's place and did a puzzle with her that she started on Boxing Day. 1000 pieces...done....Then we went to another party...more food, people and laughs.

Then I came home and watched the first 3 sessions of Lisa Bevere's Fight Like A Girl course. Wow, there is some really good info there.

After that I talked with Irvin for 50 mins while playing spider solitaire and plain solitaire...I can't win with the plain one so I switched over to the spider one. It's so nice to be able to talk to my hunny bunny (don't laugh to hard) :D He is such a great man and I'm so thankful to have him as my husband for life!

I think it's time for me to go and ^.^ snore now.

All the best in 2010! may God totally pour out His blessings over you and your families this year!
