Life Moves On...



Sometimes life changes unexpectedly, sometimes God brings things along our paths that make our roads curve! I thought that I would be driving to work all alone, that I would have to get used to working without her. How differently God works then our ways! 5 1/2 years of working at the Windmill - SO many good memories. Met some amazing people, had some really amazing co-workers, and I will truly miss all very much! Take a look in the back round of the above picture - I often wondered what it would be like to jump off that balcony and grab the windmill and go round and round (don't think I ever told anyone)... We were talking the other day! I was 14 when I started working there - yes, just a little girl. I was a shy introverted gal! So many things have changed! 

Waiting for pictures of my last day at The Windmill Country Market! I can't wait to share them with you all! 

Something someone gave me as I was leaving "Keep seeking the Lord with everything you've got! Keep looking to the cross. Keep looking to the mark - you will reach it!"


P.S. - So very many memories

2017 seemed to be a year full of new adventures and "firsts"! I hadn't been home for all the hustle and bustle of Christmas for 5 years and boy did I ever miss it! Starbucks and studying for finals filled my December Experiencing and practicing out skills out in the "field" - preparing us for our final practical Something I've really missed doing - hanging the Christmas lights out at the farm! This year Ben helped James and I - a great night filled with music, laughter, and cookies (thanks Jo-Jo)  "Festival of Lights" - OWEN SOUND  It was a very wet/rainy night, but it was PERFECT! Ben and I had so much fun walking around Owen Sound talking, laughing, and experiencing the beginning of many new Christmas things together!

They also did a great job at displaying many different set ups of Christmas lights!  Oh, and what better ...

(Parts of) Family Day

Family Day was different this year then others - it had become an annual tradition to go hiking, however due to some conflicting plans it didn't work out this year! Some went here, others there, yet we were all together for dinner!  I took Faith and the two youngest boys swimming - there was hardly anyone there, the boys so enjoyed it!  Game time  Music Time  Grandma wanted help cutting out her runner...  At 10pm I got inspired to do a cake - I had a gracious helper:) My Dad's project for the day! It's so nice - getting all these projects done around here!

2017 Re-Cap

2017 was an incredible year filled with MANY changes and experiences I never imagined would befall this little country 'gal. January - Started off with by returning to school (full-time) . In pursuit of me following my life long dream of becoming a Paramedic I needed to take Biology, Chemistry, and Math credits as it had been 6+ years since I last took any of the sciences. The Pre-Health  program at Conestoga seemed to be the best option, as I wanted to get my accreditation for  Paramedicine   at Conestoga College. Returning to school was quite the adjustment as I had not been in full time school for 6+ years, but it quickly grew on me as I got to know my colleagues and schedule. It took me awhile to re-teach myself how to study... it's different as an adult! February - Within the first week I found out that as a mature student, using my grades from the "Pre-Health" program (instead of my highschool transcript) they would NOT even look at my application for Param...
