Breaking Dawn

Well, DW and I are officially on 'Breaking Dawn' now! How exciting eh? haha DW really enjoyed Eclipse, and we are both looking forward to seeing it in theater on June 30th!

Work is the same. I'm working crazy hours, pay is pathetic, but Emiko and Claire are well worth it! I heart those little monkeys! Claire is starting to walk now. She has taken 5 steps on her own a few times now. And rather than use furniture to get up to walk, she just stands right up! She even occasionally does the downward dog pose! Hilarious kid! Emiko and I have been working on her printing a little bit. She loves to play 'school' and is doing awesome with learning to print the alphabet. She even wrote on Nana's birthday card last week! (Ann wrote the words then Emiko wrote then onto Nana's card! She is such a stinkin smart kid!)

DW quite possibly will be switching to a new job, one that will actually help us get this ridonkulous debt out of the way once and for all! Plus, help us get out from under the car payment! It will be wonderful to own Sven, and not pay $700 a month for him! So prayer would be appreciated on that. DW would be working 20 and 8's, which for those of ya'll who aren't fluent in rig speak, that is 20 days straight working, then 8 off. Rinse and repeat until job is complete!

In other news, we are tentatively looking into a big big big change! Nothing baby related, although that is likely to happen also. More of a move, a big move, to a new country! Eeek! DW is feeling like God is pointing us in new direction, and I'm not freaking out yet! haha No details yet, because really, we have no idea if its just an idea or if we are being called away. So yeah, prayer for that would also be AWESOME!

Below are my two favorite songs of the moment. Feel free to take a listen! (you may want to pause the music playing at the very bottom of the blog first)

Beside You makes me cry. Frequently! Sure, it isn't a 'God' song, but so much of it speaks to me that way! When I first heard it, it was like Josh Ramsay was singing for me! Not a huge fan of the video, but anyhoo, here it be:

And Miss Miley, with yet another catchy ballad that somehow makes me cry too. I'm sure a shrink would have a field day with my head lately! Crappy crappy version, thanks Youtube! The track sounds WAY better I promise.

Another year...

Wow! 11 days into 2010 already! And today it is 7 degrees, Celsius!! What is going on? Global warming finally happening or something? So very bizarre! But I'll take it while it is here, and try not to think that this is spring already! Shall make the next -30 cold snap pretty unbearable though! Yikes!

So DW and I decided to do some little resolutions for 2010. Not huge ones, just ones we may actually succeed at within this year.

A few of my resolutions:

• Healthier lifestyle: eat better, move more
• Read through the Bible
• Paint spare room (future nursery, if we still live here with a baby!)
• Watch Stargate SG1 season 1-10
• Paint DW's dojo/trophy room

A few of DW's:

• Get his blue belt in Jiu Jitsu
• Attend a UFC live, either in Vegas or Vancouver

Mutual goals:

• Pay off debt load
• Budget!
  
• Leave Canada to anywhere outside of Canada! haha preferably somewhere tropical!
• Expand our family, which may include starting the adoption process (eek!)
• Finish reading Eclipse and Breaking Dawn together (I read out loud to DW, and surprisingly, he actually enjoys them, well now that we are past Twilight haha)

So far we have a budget on the go, which should drastically help the debt load issue. We also have started reading Eclipse. I really wanted to read it to DW before he saw the movie, because he saw Twilight and New Moon with me before we read them together. This is actually my third time reading the series. I still enjoy it, and am still 100% team Jacob! Not that I really want Jacob with Bella, but I just plain love Jacob Black! But I digress! I have picked the paint colors I want for the spare room/nursery. DW has a blue toned carpet in 'his' room, so I'm not sure what we will end up doing in there yet.

Anyhoo, that is in a nutshell what we want for 2010, Lord willing and the creek don't rise! Shall give an update on fertility stuff and junk when there is news. Currently CD26, and hoping for sticky baby dust! (haha how silly does that sound?)
