Surviving

A few recent things..

• I came back from the FDTP about two weeks ago, I'm missing it.

• I stayed in Houstong for about a week, I got to see Jamie, Jason, Seth, Caney Creek Heroes, Natasha, Sara, they're alot of fun!
  

• I started going to highschool now, I'm loving it ;)

• Aaaand I'm back to working at the restaurant
  

I bet you thought I would never update. Well I like making people lose their bets. Wooohoo! I don't feel like posting photos right now, but I will tell you something.
I am soooo looking forward to October--when my BFF, Minkie, and their family come to visit us!!! I'm gonna make sure they have the time of their life! (or at least I will try)
Now I will leave you without any details, muahaha! Seeya in another month or so.

Canada's Wonderland

Last night I fell asleep but I left my chat on...so I wake up to this angry chat saying "update your blog woman!" And I realized that maybe I should...or else everybody will forget me and I'll become nonexistent. NOO!
So this is for you Nina, be happy. And everybody else that happens to stop by and read this. :) I'll just be posting up some photos from Canada's Wonderland (aka awesome amusement/water park). It was a lot of fun, I haven't screamed that much since, I guess Disney Land. I'll be posting up more photos from our little family holiday later, so stay tuned. Love ya!

Stuff...

Chubbiest fingers











Belongs to the chubbiest boy (who loves his hockey stick)








He's an angry guy tho








Anyway, I've been up to the normal stuff. Work, finished school for the summer (WOOHOO!!), watching world cup (japan...portugal...sob!) GO SPAIN!
All that to say, we're alive and happy and living life to the fullest!

My ketai

So I'm pretty much happy that I got my phone. I've been really busy these days...have a lot to think about and plan. I'm going to Texas in August, that that should be a good time away from work. hehe. Everybody is getting lazy with their blogs, what is this world coming to? I'm sorry.
I tried to be faithful..
and I failed!!
But I'll end on a happy note, I'll try again! ;)


Don't mind the ugly photo--I'm just happy.

To my Beautiful Sister

I know this is late... and I'm super sorry I didn't get to post this earlier, but Happy Birthday my sister! I love you sooo much and so happy that I am your little sister. I'm so glad that you came to Canada, because I think I might have been lost without you. I definitely would have gone crazy. So thank you!


Lixy Lixy, I don't know where to begin. You're such a crazy weird girl! Haha...but that's what I love about you. You put up with my grumpiness, and you don't seem to be bothered by my annoying-ness much. I'm sorry for always being such a lazy girl, or tired and miss bratty. heh. But I know you know that I'm going through a lot, and you always forgive me. weeeee!! Oops, no excuse though. You're beautiful and you know it! I'm so happy for you and Craig--as long as you don't forget about ME! hahah! You're the bestest cook EVER! I wish you were home more to cook for me, as a matter of fact, I wish we were all home more. But life doesn't always go the way we want eh?
I hope this year is full of fun, new, crazy things! You deserve it! Stay the fun, sweet sweet beauty that you always are. I hope your wishes do come true... I love you soooo much! Too much!! Happy Birthday!














<--BEST PHOTO!

Big Fat Update

SO! First off....
Mister Dan the man came to visit us. He could only stay for a day and
night--I felt super bad.






I had a birthday party at the Hall's place--it was really nice thanks guys!






Japanese night is a hit! My mom is a hero... and Lixy is superwoman!









I am now working 6 days a week, it's supposed to be five but Greg always ends up needing a fill-in. I work Friday all day, Sat morning, Sun all day, Monday morning, Tuesday morning, and Thursday afternoon. Whew.. sometimes I just want to escape for a couple of days!











Lixy has a boyfriend.








Lixy's boyfriend has a cute son.











They came over for a bbq while sweet Cha worked in the restaurant as the only cook for the first time.







Had a party at Cher's!







And I love my mama and papa! They are the sweetest.











And now I'm gonna go ponder on life. Maybe take a swim in the river. :)

To two awesome people

Lainey and Oli!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!













I know I'm late and it's super bad of me. I was meaning to call the night before your birthday but something came up and I was working from 7-10 on your birthday. *sniff* I know these excuses won't make up for my slack-fulness. heh. I just wanted to tell you both how much I love you and miss you.

Lainey, your awesomely kind personality, bubbliness, spirituality, and beauty makes you pretty much miss perfect. heehee! I love being around you and miss singing with you. I think we made a pretty great team eh? I miss your smile and the way you always use your fingers when you talk. haha goooood days! I just want to wish you a wonderful birthday and an even better year. I pray everything works out for you. I love you soooo very muchly! Happy Birthday! xoxo


















I saw this photo on your facebook and I think you just look so gorgeous. It's probably my fav of you! :)





Oli! Mister crazy oli. haha! I hope you had a great birthday. I'm super sorry I didn't call--I didn't get the chance. I really wanted to! I miss you and your funny jokes. You always made life at the markham home happy. And I never had to worry about singing the wrong lyrics, because you were ALMOST just as bad. (I'm still worse though) You're also a pretty good cook. heh. You'd always cook up some yummy food, and me being the piggy of course would eat it all. haha! I really miss living with you. Well I hope this year is full of fun and exciting things. And I hope everything works out with.. life I suppose. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Take care of yourself and don't get into too much trouble without me. haha. Love you tons mister.

Guess what THIS is??

I love it

The translations are a bit off... but oh well! heehee.
Gotta love Japanese humor! hahah "ah itai jyanai desuka?" <--- that's Mika! tehee.. kidding.

Shiawase

Here's me--all happy after a good day of shopping.

















Here's another one.


















And now I have to prepare my heart to wake up at 6 AM. haha! Goodnight.

So...

I was telling myself today, "I wish I had something solid in my life...something reliable" and I realized that, I do! I have the one that I've been slowly forgetting with our busy life. I thought that I could rely on my friends, or even family, to understand different things, to give me advice that will give me peace--to be there. But even they can't (not every time). Or maybe it's that I've pushed them away and hid my true feelings. I don't know. But one person I can always rely on is the Lord. I don't even have to say anything and he understands. I feel peace when I think of Him. Maybe some guilt because I've been neglectful, but the feeling doesn't last long. I know that I have a lot of NWO's, and this home has been slowly falling apart and I'm not making an effort to help keep it together. But I'm going to start. I'm going to get off my lazy ass and help out with the kids and make home life fun. I'm gonna study more diligently. I'm going to make time for work, play, school, the home, and personal time.
I don't want to be wishy-washy. I want to put my foot down and say "I'm going to do this." And do it.

^At least I'm going to start trying.^
And I could probably use any prayer that you want to send my way.
Anyway, now that my head is clear I'm going to prepare for a fun, relaxing night with Lixy. And shopping tomorrow! It's been too long and I've wanted to shop forever.
haha.. and hopefully if it's sunny tomorrow...



I can tan my white legs. Why did I have to be the white one in the family?? teehee!

Sisters

I love my sisters. I know that each of us have some little or big complaints about eachother, but I think that without eachother, we'd be a miserable. Well... I know I would. heehee! Sisters are great!

Me and My Po

Haha I found these webcam pictures that were taken awhile ago. Aw I love this little baby. He's so pooch! I actually kinda miss spending time with him...I've been a busy little bee. Sorry. I've been working a lot, and when I'm not working I'm either sleeping or doing school. Sucks huh? But hey, I'm looking forward to the summer. Saving up money for summer actually... I still don't know what's going to happen, but I hope to find that out soon--after I talk with a certain someone. *AHEM!*
It bothers me when I don't know the future, when I can't make plans because I need to know certain things first and I also don't know where to begin. So many questions are going through my head right now and I don't have any answers for them. It's funny how the questions make sense in your head, but when you put them to words they just make no sense. As you must know by now, I'm not one with words and I don't know if I ever will be. I'm also not one to put my thoughts on my blog, so I think I'll stop here before I shoot myself. hehe.

Anyway, I was trying so hard to make him smile and finally, when I squished his cheeks together, he started laughing. I love him!









I look a bit too happy. Don't mind me!
