Dear Jord

I know this week has been crazy…to start off you are an amazing father and great at your job…the balance of the two can be hard I know…but I love you very much…

I would really love you to know that I really feel supported as the adjustment for me here has been hard…you are always patient and kind…and never putting yourself first…sometimes I do need a swift kick in the ass and other times I need your love and kindness…

I love you very much and think you make a great
Dad, husband and Boss…

Your little ladies
Jill and Aubrey

Birthday "bash" or "bust"

26, twenty six...

so far it is a bust...never have i ever really enjoyed my birthday being in June...no one to celebreate with at camp...not the place because everyone is going about there business...jord has something plannned this afternoon so I am looking forward to that...well i got the first call just in the middle of my birthday or bust rant...and it was someone to see how Jord's father day went...not even a happy birthday to you...weird...

In my house growing up birthdays were a big deal...we would wake up early in the morning and open presents and then the whole day we couldn't wait to get home to have that amazing birthday cake...

Not a lot of fun spending your birthday in meeting and with 40 people that don't know you very well...

I should say who cares but i guess each year i hope it gets better you know... that being here would be alright when i am far away from all the family and friends that i would like to spend my birthday with...but each year it just is a bust...presents or not i am just not where i would like to be...in the company of family...on my own couch...watering my garden...laughing and a dumb movie i rented that kinda thing!

signing off...kinda sounding a little depressed to be here

we have moved north

we have arrived...not really the best trip i have ever had but we made it and have been here three days...they feel like really long days because there is only so much i can do in a day but hey i guess it will get better...

For those of you who know jordan and I you know that it takes a lot of effort to actualely pack upand leave Hamilton because we really love it there...we love the neighbours the people the smells and the crazy things that happen there...

Living here is a bubble one that we are oh so ready to burst out of...It is a bitter sweat thing that we are leaving...sad, good, all kinds of emotions are attached to this change...

most of all though i will get my husband back...and Aubrey will get her father...most of the six weeks that we spend up here is going to be hard because we (me and Bre) will only get pockets of time to spend with Jord...distractions and people needing him will be the theme this summer...now i know that when you become a pastor it is crazy too...but etleast I will have my friends and family that i love close by.

I am really looking forward to taking more pictures and i have really loved this new expression i have found... i was never really artistic in the sense ( i could paint and draw) i was more artistic with my photography and interior design passions...now that i have found one of these to be very fullfilling i can't get enough...i already miss home because there i had a computer that i could do editing on and spend hours being creative with my photos...here i can't even up load them onto a computer...and i also love taking pics of people and there is only few people here? Another couple is living in the basement appartment which is so fantastic...they have two little girls which i can't wait to take a shoot of...that has been the hightlight of being here so far...etleast they are close by...

Anyhow, this is what we are up to know...I look forward to seeing the summer move quickly...but really i am always looking forward to what is next...

happy fathers day to my husband whom i love you are a great daddy...

peace out from the north
