Mommy-mobile
Bittersweet day for me today... So sad to say goodbye to my very first car of over 9 years. My civic was beyond good to me but it's time to move on and I am now a proud owner of a mommy vehicle!

So thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I feel as though I am a very thankful and blessed person. But Friday evening was another reminder to give thanks everyday even in the smallest things. My sister in law and I were is a slight car accident. We were stopped at a red traffic light just waiting and talking when all of a sudden... BAM, we flung forward. The noise was so loud I still cannot get over the minimal damage to my car. Within a few seconds of realizing what just happened and not yet seeing the damage, I couldn't help but burst into tears and all that I had running through my mind was the tiny baby still growing in my belly and if the baby was ok? Such a scary and horrible feeling. My sis took action as I was in shock. She thankfully took all the drivers info down and insisted on me calling the health link. We did and of course they recommend us going into the hospital within the next 4 hours. Needless to say we were at the new hospital (by the way its so beautiful inside, not so scary either) that night and was being monitored for a while just to make sure baby was ok. Thank GOD all of us are doing well. I truly didn't realize how much I care for and love this baby already. I am beyond excited for January (being a new year) the arrival of LBD and to meet this precious gift! Baby Dell I love you so much, words cannot describe!
Being monitored, talking to Bryan.
Our sweet baby's heart beat!

We get carried away with catching every moment.....
I am going back to my NO Facebook Thursdays. Well after today as I was already on it this morning. This video was a great reminder today for me. I of course will still take pictures (cause that's just me) but I will enjoy my life more and not obsess about watching everyone's life unfold daily over FB. I have an amazing life filled with love from the best family and friends ever to enjoy! So blessed!!
Please watch this video!

Very inspiring and touching...
God definitely uses children to speak the truth. This video shows exactly that!

Proud to be Calgarian & Albertan!
Wow, what our city and province has been through the past few days. I have never seen such a scenario like this in my life. We had major flooding in our beautiful province. It's unreal and devastating the impact the water has taken on. I must say how proud and wonderful it is to see people coming together and willing to lend a helping hand. Calgary is amazing and we sure have some loving, selfless citizens. There is going to be so much cleanup to do once the water has completely gone back down. I personally can't wait to volunteer to do what I can. Here are some photos of our Calgary under water.

Love never fails.
Reality has set in. Missing you Nan Hobbs so very much. The timing may not have worked out in my eyes but God had another plan. I feel blessed to have all the beautiful memories of you stored in me forever. You are not only for me but for our entire family and everyone who ever had the privilege to know you, you have the utmost respect anyone could ever have... you have changed our lives forever. You were always so loving, positive, funny, beautiful inside and out and one of the strongest women I had the honor to have as my grandmother. I long to be as strong as you nan. Each and everyday you will be my inspiration and a reminder to me not to worry, stress or let the small things matter. Thank you for all your love, talks, hugs & kisses and everything you have taught me. You are forever in our hearts. I Love you so much!!!

How have I never seen this lonnie before... Perhaps I just didn't take notice since I'm not a football fan by all means.

Love spending time at my in laws house. So blessed, they are all the best! Our niece Miss Macey Mac made me a yummy grasshopper shake.
My Nan Hobbs
Getting older is so tough. My lovely nan Hobbs is 92 years young (turning 93 in May). I am struggling with knowing when is the right time to go visit her as she has turned ill over the last little while. Up until a couple months ago she has always been so with it, healthy, living on her own, great cook, witty and VERY funny, along with so many wonderful qualities. Around Christmas she caught phenomenal and has been in and out (mostly in) the hospital since then. She has lost to much weight and is now very weak. My cousin sent me a picture of my precious nan tonight and all I could so is cry. It makes my stomach ache with how fragile and different she looks. I know she has lived a well, loved filled life (she did not have all the money in the world but she has family (10 children and they have families of their own and so on) who adore and cherish her more then words can ever describe. Nan is the queen of our family. Our family is who we are because of her. I am so blessed to have her as my nan. I thank God everyday for her. Even though we live across the country I am grateful for having a close relationship with her over the years of my life. I remember spending multiple summers with nan as she would come to Calgary (every summer) to visit all of us here. Thank you so much mom for all the times you have taken me to Newfoundland to visit nan and my family, I appreciate you so much. Since nan has been in the hospital I have missed our 'Sunday chats' on the phone. If I'd miss a Sunday I couldn't wait to call her the following visit at my moms the next Sunday. Needless to say I will be going to visit her, I am struggling with when to go. Bryan and I have a wedding early April, so I am debating if I should go now or play the waiting game and go mid April. Please pray I go at the right time.
This post may not make a lot of sense as my emotions have gotten the best of me. Just wanted to share how special my beautiful nan Hobbs is. I love her!

Celebrated 2 very special boys today. Laura and I went to my dear client/friend's baby shower this afternoon. We loved holding the sweetest little guys that have had a tough start to this thing called life. They are now 4 months old and weigh (Jackson 10lbs & Carson a little over 8lbs). Such joy and love surrounding the amazing Dahl family!
Bryan and I (as well as 16 of Bryan's coworkers and spouses) went to the Calgary addition of The Price Is Right! We had a blast! Such high energy, loved seeing people win. Would love to now go to the real deal one day :)

Finlay drew me a picture today while his momma was getting her hair done. Then on my drive home from work tonight I smiled at the license plate in front of me that said 'BEHAPPI'. A friendly reminder!
