The Secret

The Daumlers are coming home. I am estatic and can't wait the 59 days....

Troy

Every day I am falling more and more in love with this man whom God has brought into my life. We've been dating 7 1/2 months now, and its been incredible. I've never met someone who knew how to manage me while respecting me, and loving me before. Someone I feel comfortable sharing every aspect of my life with...sharing my thoughts and my feelings and my dreams. Even when we are arguing...I feel so loved, so respected, so cherished. I can't say I have ever felt this all-encompassing love before, from a human being whom I loved such as this. Its incredible...its addicting...its pure and holy. I feel so free to love him...to invest in him and to trust him, knowing that only God is my strengh not Troy. That only God is my life...not Troy. That God needs to come first, and then him. Someone called him my "hubby" yesterday...it made me smile. He's not yet my hubby....but maybe one day. I am so in love, and if you've seen me, you know it, but if you haven't...now know.

Somebody Hit My Cute Car

At least it wasn't a hit-n-run. A friendly man by the name of Kevin left a note and when I called him, appeared to give me all his information...drivers license number, insurance policy name and number...etc. I hope I can get my car fixed through him...ugh. What a bad feeling.

I did get some good...hush...hush news today...I can't let the cat out of the bag just yet, but I'm pretty happy about it. You'll hear soon enough, and no I'm not engaged. :)

The interviewing starts tomorrow and I'm looking forward to another challenge in my job. Today I got a whole slew of resume's and I got to look through them and select several candidates to interview. My boss & I will do this together and I think it will be a great learning experience for me. I look forward to it.

2 weeks & 1 day from now I'll be packing & getting ready to leave! I can't wait! :) YEAH! How fun...New York in the Autumn.

I better go, I have 3 tests to write for this liabilities course I'm doing & I need to get it done by Monday at the latest.

Ciao

Date Night

Tonight is date night and I just finished getting ready. Troy's shaving or doing something related...and I'm waiting. We're going to walk to the Keg for some dinner. I can't ever remember going to the Keg! I love when he plans dates for me.

So news...first off, my Mom no longer has her PT Crusier! YEAH! She has some Lincoln something or other. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

New York in the fall! We leave October 5, 2005, and will return Oct 11, 2005. I can't wait! I miss my Dad & Paula a lot!

I bought tickets to the Calgary Flames vs. Edmonton Oilers for Oct 15th! I am so stoked that they are playing again...although they did lose their first pre-season game to Edmonton in a shoot out.

Janelle got voted out of Big Brother 6 last night and first off...all day yesterday I was nervous about it...and then Yvette voted her out...ugh...I'm frustrated.

I had to fire someone today. I was so nervous, but I prayed about it lots before and I think there was a peace about it...in her and in me. Things will be better off this way. Still gross though.

My Step-Mom has breast cancer. I'm not sure if I've written about that in here or not, but she was diagnosed about....1 month ago, and 1 week after that had surgery. The next step is to have some chemo implanted into her right arm & then the chemo & radiation start. That is happening on Sept 26th. She's going to get her hair cut short so the hair losing process ins't as painful. A hard road ahead, although I'm sure God has lots to teach us through this.

Yesterday I had a little girl in my office. Her name is Emma & She is 4 years old. Let me dialogue a conversation for you.

Emma "You look tiny because I can't see your legs"
Shara "I don't have any legs"
Emma "Do you like taking showers?"

It was quite funny. What a cute little girl she was. She never stopped talking for half an hour. I think I missed my calling. I think I was supposed to work with kids...I love them.

What else is going on...I'm looking forward to going somewhere hot & sunny! My mom is sponsoring a trip for her, my 3 brothers, my sister-in-law & Troy to go somewhere Hot & Sunny around Christmas time. She wants somewhere all inclusive...I want somewhere starting with Hawa-and ending in -ii. Mmmmmm....Aloha! How fun!

Anyway, I should end this...Troy's new place is awesome! Everytime someone comes over, they just fall in love with them place like we have! Its so comfy here and both of us enjoy the "company" of this condo. :) Anyway...if you're reading this...I'm interested to know who you are...and what you're up to!

Oopsie

I'm sorry its been so long since I posted. I've gotten distracted with Troy's move...shopping for LOTS of new things...unpacking...cleaning and now for the past week....recovering. His new place is AWESOME! I can't think of anything I'd like better in a condo...than what his condo has. Its amazing! He has a remote control ceiling fan in his bedroom (and a remote control light as well)...amazing closet organizers, gradual lighting...(it starts off very dim and then as your eyes adjust to the light, the light gets brighter! Its got brand new fancy appliances, a wonderful fireplace, big balcony...and the list goes on. In his building there are 16 units and everyone is so friendly and right around the same age as us. The "Welcome Wagon" dropped off a plate of cookies and squares to welcome him to the building...how great! And its only a 2 minute walk to a very trendy 17th Ave (some may know this as the red mile). Its great. I love it. Its fun to play house with Troy.

It is dark and dreary out today...windy, cold...and rainy. Yuck.

One month from right now I will be in New York City with my honey! We booked our flights to the big apple to visit my Dad & Step-Mom. I'm so excited to see them all! There's been a new addition to my family since I was there the last time...Baby Matthew was born earlier his year and I can't wait to meet him! :)

I miss my Calgary family....if you are reading my blog...please take a minute to pray for Tom & Lise Daumler as they are in Burkina Faso West Africa with their 4 little girls. Please pray that God would lay on each of their hearts separately, a vision for the new few months and years for their lives...and that they would have the courage to follow the direction God is leading them. Also please pray for financial relief for their needs and wants. This is the most generous family I have ever known...and they are in financial need right now, which breaks my heart.

Well that's all for today, I'll try to remember to post come pictures later on...
