A Celebration of 80 years!

 My dear Grandmother turned 80 on the 24th of May - and what a trooper she still is!
We took her down to Niagara Falls, NY to do some shopping - yes I know you can do shopping right here 10min down the road, but this trip was something super special that meant a lot to her! We got her this outfit (with a white skirt:)) she was thrilled! We got in on the Memorial Day sales - found some really good deals:)
She's such an energy giver - always smiling, ready to laugh! Love her so much and thankful the Lord has given her all these years! 
We all went to Crossroads, Elmira for dinner on Saturday night - was really nice and a great way to celebrate the 80yrs of her life! Praying for many more for you Grandma!

(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...
