Christmas

Christmas was amazing! I got so incredibly spoiled! That's not entirely why it was amazing, but it certainly helps. Troy got me loads of gifts. A car starter, a portable Toshiba 10 inch dvd player, a fuzzy comfy bathrobe, 2 seasons of "Friends", a comfy pillow, an http://engrish.com t-shirt...the "Calm Down Monkey" one, a Jack Handy book, a Christmas Cd, body shop stuff, a gift card to starbucks, an amazing teapot and creamer/sugar set that I'd fallen in like with at Second Cup, a Mrs. Pack-Man video game...and more! He totally spoiled me! Then from my Dad & Paula I got a gift card to Red Lobster. Its has purchased me a couple Lobster meals which I've been quite thrilled about. :) MY Mom gave me a really nice quilt, some sheets, some awesome pj's, a large cheq, a fun Christmas stocking and a bunch of other small stuff. All my sets of Grandparents (Grandma & Grandpa, Grandma, Oma & Aunt Elisabeth (I loop her in with the grandparents) all gave me some cashola. Troy's parents got me a cute scarf, and so did his brother and sister in law. I also got the yummiest lose leaf tea and a loose leaf leaf holder from his other brother and sister in law. I got a picture frame, some tongue rings and a gift card to American Eagle. I totally cashed in...O...from work, I got a coffee/cappa/latte maker with a starbucks accessory set, 6 kinds of coffee, some syrup and a cute mug. WOW.

I sat back in amazement at my gifts and was awestruck. When I was opening the gifts from Troy I started to cry a little because I was overwhelmed. Next year, Christmas has to have a budget.

Chelsea has gotten married! Chelsea is my best friend. Her wedding was picture perfect and Chelsea was what every bride dreams she will look like. I'm going to post some pictures of her wedding on here.

VIENNA SAID MY NAME FOR THE FIRST TIME OVER CHRISTMAS! Vienna is Troy's 2 1/2 year old niece. She's incredibly cute and to my knowledge aside from parents, grandparents has only learned (or said) the name Troy before...and on Christmas, she said "Shara". I LOVED IT. It almost made me cry a little bit. :) I"m going to post some pictures of that as well.

So Christmas was awesome. New Years was not a huge event, we watched a movie and had some nacho's, but were so tired from Wedding stuffs that we didn't do much of anything except vege. Both of us barely made it to midnight...(probably caught a few Zzzzz's before) kissed and then said goodnight and goodbye. Uneventful, but fun and enjoyable cause I got to spend it with my sweetie!

Anyway, not much more to tell...for those of you wondering, NO, I don't have a rock yet...and don't worry, Troy's getting daily harassment from the Daumler girls, the Daumler parents, and all others that know the both of us. Poor man. Oh well. He can handle it, and does with charm.

Take care, drop me a line if you have a few.
God Bless.

His Birthday...

Life flys by! As if its December 22nd already! I am getting really excited about Christmas this year. Its Troy's and my first Christmas together! Our tree has an obsurd amount of gifts under it. I told him next year we have to set limits and that I'm not allowed to take any plastic shopping with me...only cash. :)

Yesterday I got a nice giftcard from my Dad & Paula to Red Lobster, and a constant flow of cards containing cheq's have been rolling in from my Grandma's and Grandpa (that sounds weird...but I have 1 Oma (Grandma in German), 1 Grandma & then another Grandma only One Grandpa, so the Grandpa isn't married to all 3 of them). I also got a cute card and cheq from my really cute Aunt Elisabeth. She's one of the coolest older ladies I've ever met/heard of. I love her to bits and wish I lived closer to her. Anyway...

Chelsea and Andrew are getting married in less than 2 weeks! HOW FUN! I can't wait! That's part of why I'm so excited...first Christmas, then I'm throwing her stagette/lingerie party, then the rehersal and wedding...and then new years...what a fun couple weeks...if I could only get past the working days and on to Christmas! YEAH!

This morning I got up early....well actually NOT early, I just snoozed only once...and made coffee and spent some time reading the bible...and of course, as GOd always does...I had an abundance of time...like I gave him my time offering, and he returned it abundantly...that's why I have time to blog, cause I'm ready and don't want to be at work super early. Our God is good...and how fun it is that we celebrate his birthday in a couple days. I love this season.

Have you ever considered how Mary's family responded to her pregnancy? I was thinking about that last night as I drove home from Troy's house...knowing myself, and the small bit I do about their culture, I think I would have thought Mary was completely nuts out of her mind to think she was carrying the Messiah, and I likely would have disowned her...I wonder if her family did that. Take that thought with you today...the things our Messiah endured for us...go far beyond the pages of the bible...I wonder...

We had the Daumlers over for dinner last night along with Chelsea and Andrew. Of course Troy's place was a hit! Even the girls loved it! What a great time we had! I had the most interesting conversation with Naomi. It went like this:

Shara: Naomi did you see Chelsea's pretty ring yet?
Naomi: nope (runs over to see it and comes back and climbes into my lap) Its's Beautiful.
Shara: Naomi did you know that Chelsea and Andrew are going to get married in 2 weeks
Naomi: (Naomi's eyes get big) I sure hope I can go.
Shara: Naomi did you know that when a boy asks a girl to marry her, he gives her a ring? So Andrew asked Chelsea to marry him and he gave her that ring!
Naomi: Did she say yes?
Shara: Oh yes she did! And now they are getting married.
Naomi: Well if Joshua grew up like me, and he gave me a ring like that, I'd say yes to him. And if Sawyer grew up like me and gave me a ring like that, I'd say yes to him.
Shara: Well what if they both grow up like you, and they both want to give you a ring...which one will you choose?
Naomi: Well.....they both like dinasours...so...
Shara: Is that the sort of thing that does it for you or...?
Naomi: Well I don't really like Dinasours...but Billy really does (Naomi's cousin(a girl)
Shara: Well maybe you could set BIlly & one of those boys up...
Naomi: Yeah, but they don't know each other.

Yeah anyway. That was so much fun! My Little Naomi is growing up. Anyway, my time has expired, I need to run off to work today! God Bless! Merry Christmas!

I'm Ridiculous

So for any of you who've tried to call me and haven't heard back from me...its likely cause my phone is hooped. I took it back 2 days ago and it will take 2-10 weeks to fix apparently...lovely.

So the other day I locked my keys in my trunk...Troy & I had gone to Billy Graham's Samaritan's Purse warehouse to volunteer to sort Christmas child boxes, and he had his keys in his pocket, so I locked mine in the trunk of my car along with my purse...containing my wallet. I had forgotten that I had locked my trunk hatch inside my car (a security feature my car has, so if someone breaks in your car, they can't pop the trunk). Anyway, I only have 1 master key (which is on my key ring) and the rest are valet keys...as you can imagine the valet keys can't open that latch lock, the trunk or the folding seats in the back...needless to say, I had no way of getting my purse or keys out...

Anyway...after several phone calls I managed to get my trunk popped open by a locksmith. Pheuuuuuf!

The DAUMLERS ARE COMING HOME TOMORROW and I can't hardly wait. I'm estatic!

Today is Tom Loewen's birthday and we had a nice chat this morning.

I think that's all for me today...have a good one. God Bless.

Go Flames Go!

Troy & I in K-Country

Lennie & Bonnie in Lake Louise (I was not with them here)

November 20, 2005

Naomi Daumler is 5 today. I can't wait to see that little cutie in 6 days! I miss my sisters!

As you can see its been AGES since I've written. Since I have, my brother Jon showed up and surprised me with a 3 day visit. That was fun! We went to Banff and did the Spaghetti Factory & spent a lot of time hanging out with him and Troy.

Then Lennie & Bonnie were here for a couple days, and what a riot we had! We went to Canadian Olympic Park and were the guests of honor for the day...well I think we thought we were honored...I don't think anyone knew we were there, and thats why we were able to see so much! We rode the elevator to the top of the ski jump and looked over Calgary...we watched some bob-sledders practicing (and falling over) ont he bob-sled run & we saw some guys practicing their take off in the ice house. It was a great time! WE also checked out Peters...a great place for guests to Calgary...we hung out and reminiced a lot and had a great time. It was so good to catch up with them.

Tomorrow is Troy's Birthday, and I've really gone overboard with presents for him. Since he doesn't know yet I can't really talk about it on here, but I spent far more than I should have. I can't wait though, it will be so fun to spoil him!

Life is going well! Getting ready for Chelsea's wedding December 30th & before that Christmas. Am falling more and more in love, and becoming better friends with Troy every day. Our relationship is becoming more and more concreted & more and more rooted in love & Christ. We are growing and learning together, and its awesome! Last night his parents took us to the Keg for his birthday dinner...Mmmmmm....the Keg....

Anyway, I'm procrastinating...I have an exam on Dec 6th or so...and I really need to study. I'll attach a couple pictures. See ya!
