Recap

Wow, I haven’t posted on here in quite some time.

Since I created the wife diary blog, I have been rather active there.

I want to try and keep both blogs going, but I don’t think I actually have THAT much to say.

Which is rather quite unusual for me. LOL

Quick recap of the last few weeks:

Grandfather passed away end of December, my Gran is still in hospital, I am working full time now, and I am busy planning my 30^th birthday party.

Had a couple of ideas and still throwing a few around to see what happens.

Will hopefully know by this weekend.

I am still looking for a church here in PTA, I have yet to find one that we could possibly belong to, but there is one that is not too far from us that I want to try this weekend. Christian Revival Church, so hopefully we can go and then I shall do a review next week.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Christmas With A Difference!

Ola,

Hope life finds you well these few days before Christmas!

I havent been on in while, so much going on these last few days.
With the run up to Christmas and the uncertainty of my both Grandfather and my Grandmothers health, none of us are really in the Christmas spirit.

So in a bid to try and feel a little Christmassy, hubby and i decided to go and have a look the decorated houses.

There is one house in particular, i had heard about it and was quite keen to see it, now it is in what is referred to as a not such a great area, where the people do struggle quite a bit.  So off we go, (forgot the GPS) and got a little lost, but we found it nevertheless........

and this is what i saw

My initial reaction was, this is insane, who actually does this, and then i went inside..... and saw why!

These people help to raise funds so that the disadvantaged can also have a Christmas.  I read some of the letters to Santa from these kids and i cried my eyes out.

Those of us that are in a good place, do not really and truly realise what is happening in the world.

So hubby and i got ourselved involved in the project and thanks to some amazing people and their donations, we will be able to bless some people with gifts and a hearty meal (with crackers, i mean, whats sitting around the table with no crackers)!

We will hopefully be doing the drop of on Friday, so really looking forward to it!

Here are some more pics of the decorated house!



May you all have a blessed Christmas, even if you dont celebrate, Happy Holidays, may you all be safe and see you again in 2012!

Virgin "it hurts to be" Active

Well, i got the all clear from the doc to start using the gym, and we have been twice now and i can tell you, it hurts all over....! 

i have a wonderful friend who is a Personal Trainer and although he cant actually be here to help me he is giving me some advice and some assistance to help me reach my goal. 

He told me due to recent events, i must stay away from cardio (fantastic) and concentrate on circuit.

So i did that tonight and it was Sore with a CAPITAL S.

Do not want to feel the pain tomorrow and the day after that ***crying in advance ***

Anyway, time for a shower!

" The expressions viewed in this post are that of the writers opinion only"

I was recently involved in a debate regarding religion and The Truth, and i find it rather disconcerting at how many different view points there are out there.

There are so many aspects out there, and its a no wonder that so many human beings are confused.

Just so that it is clear.....  I do not follow any religion, I follow the Word of God.
I have tried searching for a starting point that is common ground for all to “connect” because it happens so often that this “religion” conversation without fail will deteriorate into back and forth slander, often attacking the person more than the topic.
 
A Pastor once said:

MAKE SURE that you are in a church where the sent man has 'the Word of the Lord in his mouth".... God is speaking and you better know what He is saying..!!

Religion hides the Truth.

Santa Clause is Coming.... To Town

Soooooooooo, I put my Christmas Tree up! Yay for me!

Totally loving it!
But, it seems soooo empty and almost every branch has a decoration on it! Go Figure!
Its probably because i am NOT a tinsel person and i have been struggling to find beads in the right colour!

UNTIL YESTERDAY BABY!

As it were, i was with my cousin walking around a PTA shopping centre and we walked past, you wont believe it, PEP, and my eye caught the pink beads! so in we go and i almost fell on my back when i saw the price, R7.99 a packet, what a flippen bargain!

i just had to have them!

Brian ordered pink LED's for my tree, but the guy never placed the order with the supplier and i was getting so annoyed waiting so long, so i just got white LED's, not my favourite but its lights nevertheless.

and it does look very pretty at night when the lights are on!

Ok, so here are some pics.

my awesome bargain beads! R7.99 from PEP

This star hubby bought me from Crazy Store, i think it cost around the region of about R40 - Nice star, Nice price

and.... my tree

Hope you are all looking forward to Christmas as much as i am

Thoughts n all

Today is one of those days where my mind is all over the place. Dare i admit it to anyone let alone everyone.

So much has happened this year

Got Married
Got Sick
Almost died
Almost got divorced
Put on 4 or 5kgs

all in less than 4 months

These are big things, maybe not to some, but to me they are.

The day i got married, was the greatest day of my life, i really felt like everything was falling into place.  We never really had any plans for the next 6 months, just to carry on living as we were, take some time out to enjoy each other, get used to being married.

2 and a half months later, i was lying in hospital, fighting for my life.
Praise God and God alone for the miracle of life, that i sit here today able to type this.

by all rights, things should have been ok, shouldnt they have been?
it just got worse, who knew!

a brand spanking new marriage, 2 and a half months fresh, threatened by a depression that i had never known was even possible.
but again, Praise God for the miracle of restoration.
Our marriage is stronger than ever.

i put on a few kilo's during this time and i have always been one that has had to work hard at staying thin(ish), so now i have kicked it into high gear! eating healthy and DH and signed up to Virgin Active and will start gyming! i just need to get a clearance letter from my specialist and then i am A for Away! really looking forward to this journey!

but today, i sit and wonder about the future, when we will have children etc.... silly i know, after everything i have been through, you are probably wondering, how is it possible that i can even think of extending our little family!

logically yes, i might even tend to agree with that thought, but even with everything that happened, it does not take away the desire to have kiddies! it has possibly made the desire stronger.  Knowing that life is so short. I will be 30 soon, scary thought, most of my friends have children, and i dont :o( i always wanted to be a young mom too, but as i head to my 30's i dont feel 30, time to embrace this age! its the new 20's with a lot more wisdom, so i will still be a young mom.

i know the moment will pass and i will be able to think straight later, but for now i will get this off my chest.

i also know the Lord will bless us with a child when the timing is right.  When my body is physically stronger and once DH and i have had more time to adjust after everything that has happened.

im looking forward to 2012, new beginnings! new plans, new dreams!
its a start of a new decade for me! and i am going to love every minute of it! i have a Gracious God leading the way and a wonderful husband at my side!

what more do i need!

Dear God

Please make me thin.....

this is my prayer of late, I tell the Lord, or i remind Him (like He doesnt know) that i am a good girl....... i dont drink, i dont smoke, i dont do bad things, so why do i have to work SO hard to be thin :o(

Since i started this diet and gruelling process, i feel totally separated from life (so dramatic i know lol)

Last night, it was my (not so brilliant) idea to run to the shops.... completely forgetting that its uphill, (when you are so unfit, a slight incline is very much like pollyshorts), OMW, i was finished, my calves were literally ON FIRE!

But i just keep reminding myself, it will be worth it in the end!

Looking at bikini's yesterday, was actually excrutiating, sometimes i feel like i am the only one who feels like that in the shops!

well fat no more! see you all on the thin side :o)
