In just under an hour from now I will find out the results of my recent MRI and blood tests. If the blood tests show that my prolactin levels have lowered then I can leave for Tanzania in May but if not we'll have to work out a different treatment and I'll have to postpone. Same goes for the MRI, if the tumor is bigger than thought then we may have to talk surgery. So...please pray for positive

Yesterday, Michelle and I went shopping for a Bridesmaid dress (she's in a wedding in September). We first went to Sophie's but that was a horrible experience... crappy dress selection above size 12 and horrible customer service. Then we headed to Ballett's. Completely different. We recieved immediate service from a sales girl who immediately knew what styles and types of material would be good

The past month has been a lot busier then expected. I'm still trying to finish up a few freelance projects. I had a dinner fundraiser to plan and execute. Add to that doctor's appointments, friend's birthdays, me and my twin's birthdays, a new season of LOST, planning for the next few months, social outings, oh and facebook and blogging and you've got my February all locked up.Yep, I did say

I really do have other more interesting things happening in my life.I promise to get to them soon. :) but for now here's another Health updateSo my appointment on Friday went well. My Endocrinologist has started me on medication. I am to go for blood work and then back to see her in 4 weeks to see if the drug is working as expected. I've finally been scheduled for an MRI. They're booking into

my healthBack in November I went into the clinic because I wasn't feeling well. They gave me some medication and I was fine but while I was there I had some blood test done. Just before Christmas, I got a call from my clinic telling me that because of my last blood tests I need to go see an Endocrinologist. I saw one at the beginning of January. Basically, my Prolactin levels are really high and

Well, it looks as though I've got my additional website (focusing on my trip to Africa click here) mostly complete. Now I'll get back to posting on both... :) This one will be more about my personal going-ons and the other obviously will be all things Africa related. Feel free to keep tabs on both.

... and it's been intentional.I've been really busy the past few months and gave up blogging to free up even a few minutes for myself. Plus, since I was so busy there's wasn't much to write about. Boring stuff mostly.But, I do have some exciting news. I will be moving out of the country! That's right, I'm leaving for Tanzania in May and volunteering with Pamoja Ministries for an entire year!

So I'm dating this as an earlier post... basically b/c I want it to appear in chronological order. It really is November 11 (a happy birthday shout out to Nadine) at 3 am. :0I've been really busy lately. I'm just now finding some time to post about things that have happened in the last month. I'll start out now with Hallowe'en. I went Trick or Treating... but for canned food for the Waterloo Food

again with the being overly busy... here is my Turkey Day weekend summary.Friday night I hung out with Michelle, Steve, Judy, Connie and Kelly. We watched X-men and ate Steve's homemade baked spinach dip. Hmmm yummers.Saturday morning saw Judy and myself loading her car and heading over to Canandian Tire to buy paint and other supplies to paint Dom's office. After a stop at Starbucks we were

I can appreciate all the seasons but I've concluded that I love autumn the best. I love the colours, the crunching of leaves, the memories of leaf-pile jumping, wearing jeans and a shirt and not having to wear a jacket or sweating, the buzz of activity around the city, and yeah I already mentioned it but I'll say it again... the COLOURS! Michelle and I went for a walk on Sunday afternoon. What a

Well I guess "soon" is a relative term. It's been 10 days since the last post and over a month since I came back from vacation.Anyways, here goes.Thursday morning I awoke early and met my friend, Thomas at the entrance to the Excalibur. After a few issues with our convertible Beetle we started on our trek to the Grand Canyon. A few wrong turns, lunch at a small diner with the locals, a crazy 40

Alright, here's another addition to my Vegas trip. Unfortunately, I've been super busy so it's been awhile in coming.PART 2After a super relaxing day at Mandalay Bay we stuffed ourselves at the Spice Market Buffet at the Aladdin. Afterwards we took in the sights on the strip. The light show infront of the Bellagio was my favourite.Wednesday morning I started the day out early by heading to the

It's been over two weeks since I arrived home from my vacation. I've been incredibly busy since... still am but at least now I feel like I'm in control of it. In my last entry I promised a vacation entry and photos. So here goes...PART 1It took along time for me to decide whether I should go on this trip or not. Vegas wasn't exactly on my "list". But I really did want to support and celebrate

Ya'll are probably sick of hearing about this movie. I took some time a few weeks back to see it at the Princess Twin (my first time there). I could write a review of the movie but there's really no point... besides writing is not my forte. But I do have a few thoughts.We make so many decisions in our lives. We decide where we will live, a level of education to pursue, what kind of job we want,

this past weekend I attended an Embassy Leaders Camping trip. well, it could barely be described as camping... we were still in the city limits! but we were surrounded by trees, camp fires, tents and raccoons so it did the trick. :) (thanks Sarah for all the preparing and planning)my main reason for my post is to share about an activity we completed mid-way through Brandon's teaching.
