So it was a sad day in the Beer house yesterday as our beloved Oilers failed to win the coveted Stanley Cup. But we love our Oilers anyways and there is always next year! Go Oilers Go!.PS. You can never bring down an oilers fan!
Things that are glorious:- snuggling on the couch with my husband- lightening in the early morning- staying up to listen to the rain- patients saying thank you- hot apple cider on a cool day- little sisters coming over just to say hi- breakfast with my mom- helping another human being- watching my flowers grow in my garden- overtime wins on short handed goals- not knowing what tomorrow brings
Hey all,
We just got home from a fantastic time in Edmonton with the youth group. We arrived at a local church which was huge!! Great place to play sardines in, we played one round in over half an hour! We watch movies and the guys having a wrestling match. On Saturday we spent the entire day at West Ed Mall. We shopped, went in the water park for hours and of course had to try and find a restaurant that was playing the game. It wasn't that hard since everyone was cheering for edmonton. Funny though, we saw a guy walking in the mall wearing a Carolina Hurricans jersey. I'm very surprised that we didn't see him lying dead in one of the fountains! But in true oiler fashion we won and just have 3 more games till we bring home the cup. The drive home was also great as everyone was so tired they mostly slept but we still had some time for talking and laughing and just acting crazy. Youth just seem to keep you feeling young! presently I should be studying for my exam tomorrow but it true Bethany fashion I do everything else I possibly can before I do what really needs to get done. I'll hopefully post pictures later!
Some days I feel that the world... or at least my world is changing too fast. A few changes and unexpected bumps in the road I can handle but lately things seem to be getting out of hand. I wish things could just stop changing and that I could just relax and not worry about the next big change that will be happening. I want life to be predictable... not forever but even just for a little while would be nice for a change. But I suppose I need to work on just trusting that all of these changes are for a reason and that God won't give Jeff and I any more than we can handle (although some days I don't feel this way AT ALL). Well, enough of me whining.This weekend is our final weekend with the youth group that we run and we are going to West Edmonton Mall. I know we are going to have a blast and hopefully become part of a riot when Edmonton finally wins a game in the series!Love you all,Bethany
I'm tired and my back hurts. Latest project is renovating our house. We really needed new floors, especially where we had lovely grey tile in our living room. I've been trying to scrape tile glue off so we can lay some carpet. The house has a layer of grime EVERYWHERE from hammering out the tile. Everything is gross but I'm hoping that it will all be worth it in the long run.Isn't it funny how when you have lots to do... you get even more to do. I didn't get called for work for almost a week and now when I need to finish the house and a homework assignment I get called and am working more but have yet to finish the rest.But on an exciting note, tomorrow a bunch of other nurses and I are in the Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research. We get to stay up all night, hang out and walk/run. I'm sure we will have so much fun and best of all our colour that our team is is pink! I love pink.
