Catching up with friends...

Growing up as an only child for the past 19 years, I have fallen into the "trap" of considering close friends as family. I say trap because I know that I risk being hurt...I mean...to me they might be family, but those people actually have blood related relatives...and I AM only a friend. But with all that risk...i am blessed to say that there are a few people in my life that are closer to me than I think friends should be...and that's why they are "MY FAMILY".
So this weekend I got a chance to spend a bit of time with some of those familiar friends...and what's the best place to do that??!! NYC!! That's right...my favorite city...with my favorite man, and with two of my favorite people in the world (Anca and JOJO!!!). Hanging out in a coffee shop in the Village, sitting outside on the patio in November....walking 68 blocks in 20 min (ok..so maybe I am exaggerating...but close enough!)...but you get the vibe...FRIENDS ROCK!! and NYC is not that bad either!!!!!
So...if anyone ever wants to have fun....let loose, be REAL...be a friend and enjoy a cup of coffee with an awesome girlfriend every now and then!!!!
Have a blessed week everyone!!!

Jesus...a holloween character??!!!

It's sad...really really sad...when kids consider Jesus JUST ANOTHER character to dress up as on Holloween. I have to say I was trully distgusted when I saw that and saddened by how easily kids (college young adults to be more specific!!) take Jesus. Jesus...our Lord and Saviour...Jesus...the one who died on the cross for my sins..and theirs...Jesus..who loves us unconditionally. I mean...I don't think He loved them less for mocking HIM, but I do believe He was sadden by the situation.
Beyond that...not much happening here today. I am back in Kitchener...for another week, and then will be reunited w/ my better half...God is good! It's very very cold outside...my parents turned off the heat (when I say SAVE money..I dont' mean let's all freeze do death!!)...so I turned it back on....it's 12:30 and I got a surprize phone call from my husband ( I loooooove loooove when I don't expect it and he calls!!).....and now I'm watching a cooking show...and waiting for the time to go to work. Last week working full time at this job...so ready for my next one!!!!
Oh yeah...and watching election updates on Fox News...I am interested now...it's somewhat relevant to me and my family!!! God bless America!!!!!!
