Santa Parade, Brockville, Ontario

Today was the local holiday parade.  Our church entered a float into the parade.  The theme was "Christmas Lane".  Christmas lane is a big outdoor production that the church puts on each year before Christmas that walks you through the Christmas Story.

Here as some photos from our Float...

A new passion?

Do you like to hike?  I never have really thought about that question.  To be honest I don't think it has ever come up in conversation.   To answer the question though, I do.  I am finding that it is a good time to be with Aaron and talk about the day, the next and our future.  During the last couple of days I have been searching the internet to find places to hike.  For free that is!!  Friends of ours from CRC told us about a wildlife area that has some walking and hiking trails.  Below are some photos from Mac Johnson Wildlife Area.  If you know of any good places to hike, please pass it on.

Since Nov. 3rd

Once again I have failed at keeping this blog updated.  So here is what we have been up to.
The weekend of Nov.6,7 &8 My parents came up to visit.  We had a wonderful visit.  While they were here we looked at a few houses.  The first was really small and it seemed like and expensive apartment rather than a house.  We even got Aaron's parents to come down and look at the house with us.  We have not done anything as far as an offer goes, but we might.  Who knows, we are very content where we are so there is no rush. 

On Tuesday Nov. 10th  I started a Beth Moore bible study called Living beyond yourself.  A study in the fruit of the spirit.  I am looking forward to this study the most because I've never been a part of just a ladies bible study.  We've got a group of nine women.  Some pastor's wives, staff wives from the church and new friends from church.  I do believe that God is going to allow major growth in my life and the other ladies as well.

On Wednesday Nov. 11th I attended "Ladies Night Out".  This is an event that Centennial Road has been putting on for years.  It is an event to allow women to just have the evening free and to be with other ladies and enjoy singing and a wonderful message.  This year the singer was Nancy DeMerchant (which happens to be Aaron's 1st cousin).  She has a wonderful voice and truly sings for the Lord.  The speaker was a lady from Alberta, Canada named Connie Cavenaugh.  She was really funny and I did enjoy her.

Throught out the whole week we've been working on the finalizing of my immigration.  It feels so good to have some of this stuff done!  I can not imagine when it is all finished.

Yesterday we went to Paul's in Ottawa.  It was his birthday so Aaron and I planned a birthday party for him.  He had some of his friends come over and we played Cranium WOW and last word.  We had a bunch of fun.

So here we are...Saturday Nov. 14th.  Aaron is currently working at a work bee and I'm going to clean around the house...

Aaron is preaching tomorrow!!!

God Bless...

A True Blessing!

God is good, all the time.   I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends.  Even though we are far away God is still good. 

Thank you Jess and Clay for giving Aaron and I the opportunity of being Hugh Henry's Godparents.  What an amazing chance to pour into a young life and to see Hugh grow and encourage him to be more Christ like. 

We love you guys!

Trunk or Treat...

Our Church(Centennial Road Church) had its first ever Trunk or Treat this past weekend. The turn out was good for both trunks and treaters. 

Aaron and I decorated our trunk in Pittsburgh Steeler items...
