Can it be true...is the scale right? :0)

Well well well I've lost 10lbs and I'm feeling good about it. But I still have another 10 to go. But I need to lose the weight. With my height and weight it wasn't healthy. My heart start to do weird fluttering things and stuff it really scared me one night and that's when I made the change to lose weight. I don't want to end up with medical problems 10 yrs down the road just because I wanted to eat fast food and not cook and be lazy. It's just not okay for me to do that anymore. Plus it's all about moderation. You know how you go to a restaurant and there is a TON of food on your plate? Well don't eat it all, because they give you WAY too much food. As good as it may seem it's not worth it in the end when your heart start to flutter and you get scarred. I still have long road a head of me to lose weight, but can't lose too much more or else my wedding dress won't fit. hehehe and that wouldn't be good. But I know that if I lose another 10lbs I'll still feel better but will keep losing as time goes on.

Well off to bed I go I have to get up super early tomorrow to clean... :0& thank goodness for coffee :0)

A new healthier me

5 months today

At this time in 5 months Matt and I will be husband and wife. I know its 5 months away and may seem far away for some people but for me it is really exciting and wonderful . Something else that is wonderful is that this morning at church I finally got to meet Joseph. Oh how cute and sweet he is. I stared at him most of the church service while holding him. And little baby's smell so good. Matt and Ruthie are so happy to be parents. You can just seem them glowing as they look and talk about there new little one. Oh I can't wait to have one of our own... or can I. ;0)

Well right now Matt and I are starting to look for a place for us to live in while we are married. So far there are some but Matt doesn’t want to move in it to far a head cause we don't want to waste too much money while he is just living there, but we are hoping to find something soon like August soon. Which is sooner then I think. I just realized that August is 2 months away. CRAZY!!!! And before ya know summer will be over. INSANE.

This picture is of my nephew Haden and me in a field. Last sunday we went to London to visit my sister and bro in law and my 2 nephew's for Haden's 5th birthday and then we went for a walk through the field and to the bush and back again. It was fun and lot of work. But here in this pic I am teaching Haden how to make a whistle out of the long grass called "Timothy". He was so fascinated. He couldn't quite get it but I told him to keep on practicing. But I love this picture. Thanks Cindy and thanks for reading it to and Barb if you read it. They are my cousins. :0) They are great cousins. They offered a while ago to help Matt and I with wedding stuff and I'm gonna make sure they help lots. hehhe j/k ladies. They are also great camping buddies. Mmmm camping.




Anywho that is all for now going back to work tomorrow only 4 houses so I shouldn't be back home too late.

Thanks for reading who ever does.

God Bless
Mary a married woman in 5 months. eeekkk

Nice Weekend at the Web Wedding :0)

What a nice weekend eh? Jenn and Jordan's wedding was really nice and it got me all excited for our weeding. I didn't take my dad's digital camera with and I was starting to regret it but Drew had some on his blog. Thanks man :0) Our wedding is a little more then 5 months away it's gonna come fast. Which I don't mind at all. I kind of like that... alot. I'm getting more excited for our wedding which hasn't happened lately cause all the booking went so smoothly that there was NOTHING to get stressed over. But now we still have to find a pastor to marry us. So something to pray about that we find soon.

That weekend in over and back to work I went today. Very sleepy and tired and don't wanna go back to work tomorrow. Long day and I really want to go shopping. Really bad. But the weekend was great and their wedding was really nice and I can't wait for Meg and Caleb's wedding. :0)

I guess I should go to bed soon. I start cleaning a dr's off at 7:15 am. BARF!!!!!!!!!!!! Then 4 houses after that. What a horrid day tomorrow. Well the more I work the more I make. Can't complain. Right?!?

Night ya'll

Also Matt and Ruthie's baby is so cute. I cannot wait to meet him. I'm praying for her has she recovers from the epidural. But maybe she will be at church Sunday...but maybe not.

This is all from the mind of me. Just debating what to wear to the wedding tomorrow...*sigh* Oh well. Off to bed I go now.

Night ya'll

Mary

p.s. I want to be in the Gaithers singing group. hehe I just watched them on TV. Every Friday night at 8. Plus mom and dad have 2 of there DVD's. I love the Gaithers.

Long weekend almost here

Along week of work has almost come to an end and I couldn't be happier. I've cleaned so many houses this week it's insane. Its cause it's holiday Monday and we don't work that day so we've been getting more houses to clean all week and next week. OY.

But on more exciting new. Ruthie and Matt are finally parents. *sigh* How wonderful that is. I know they are both overwhelmed with Joy and happiness and maybe some nervousness. I'm praying for Ruth so that she has a quick recover from delivering little Joseph. Oh I bet he is so cute and loveable. Can't wait to meet him and see pic's. I know I can't wait to have a baby. I know that it might be a few years down the road but I still can't wait. I am so very happy for Matt and Ruthie, and Joseph for having great parents.

Well Jenn and Jordan are getting married on sat. It's gonna be a really nice wedding.Betch ya both Jenn and Jordan can't wait to be married and start there life together. I know Jenn's really excited. Haven't talked to her since last week but I know even then she was really excited and couldn't wait.

Nothing new with me. Just exhausted from work. Oh I got my income tax cheque...ooooohhh baby. Well most of it's going to pay off my student loan. No new clothes for me yet. :0( I wish I could get more clothes but I don't have the money. Gotta save for a future for Matt and I and I would rather have a house sooner then new clothes. Oh on the bright side of not buying clothes though it’s because I'm losing weight. So far I've lost 5lbs and doing well. It's not a diet but I'm just eating more veggies and fruit and less bread and snacks, and its paying off which makes me feel good. I even got move my belt hole over...WOOHOO!!!!!!!

Anywho off to watch some TV.

Small world after all

Well get a load of this. This morning Matty and I decided to go to our new church here in the Niagara Region. It's called Ridgeville Bible Chapel. So we get there for Lord's Supper at 9:30. We are sitting there just waiting for the Lord's Supper to begin and this man came up to us and we introduce ourselves and he asked Matt where he is from and Matt says "Peterborough". Well to make a long story short this man is Matt Cook's dad. I almost died. I didn't know what church Matt and Ruth went to until today. So once Mr. Cook told me that Ruthie was coming later I was soooo excited. So after the Lord's Supper was done, Matt and I went down stares to get a coffee and lo and behold there stood Ruthie, pregnant (still) and beautiful. It was so awesome to see her at church. Matt was in T.O. preaching so we didn't get to see him, which was too bad. I still can't believe that we saw Ruth at church. I've been meaning to visit her while she is still in the Niagara Region, and we did. Then after the reunion with Ruth we went to church at 11 and she sat with us then afterwards we went down stares for a potluck lunch. Good day to start going to our new church. :0)

Well all in all today has been great. We found a good church to attend too and got to see Ruth. I still can't believe that after so long I got to see Ruth. She does look really great for being so close to her due date. She glows so much and you can tell she loves being pregnant. I can't wait and neither can Ruth and Matt to meet there new little addition to the Cook clan.

This concludes my great day. I was planning on going to church tonight again at 6pm but I have a horrible headache so I just might stay home but I might still go. Haven't decided.

Still in shock
Mary

Never enough hours in a day

Well work is going well. Just really busy and tired from cleaning 4-5 houses in one day. Man that really gets to you. But it's all about adjusting to it and getting use to getting up early every day. Especially tomorrow (wed) I have to get up at 5:30 drive and pick up the other maid that works with me and clean a doctor's office in Niagara Falls *sight* so as you can see I hate Wednesday morning. Never mind Wednesday morning Wednesday in general. It's kind of a useless day don't ya think? But thankfully it goes by fast. Anywho this is just another update on my life. Nothing new just tired. Going to bed soon. I cannot live on little hour of sleep cause all that results in, is being sick and unhealthily and I don't have time for that. I need to work. :0) Anywho living back home is nice so far...still miss living on my own though, it was nice while it lasted. Anywho off to bed I go zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....whoops feel a sleep on the keys.

Off to sleeply land I go

All moved in, and gotta do it again in 6 months...OY!

Well I am all moved back home and Matt is moved into his new place. It's a good 30min drive from mom and dad's here but it's all worth it. As long as I get to see Matt I'm all good. Its amazing how one person can change your mood from and not so good day at work... Like today, I just was having one of those days where everything goes wrong. But I came home and there was Matt. He did nothing out of the ordinary but he was just there to listen. Which is always is. But today it just made me realize that just one person, the one person that I am gonna be married to can make me happy and make me forget how bad my day was. *sigh* Love is great eh?

Well after working for Molly Maid for only 3 days I got asked to be head maid of that route. And of course I said "yes". Cause my pay went up, and I get a company car. :0) Which was good cause Matty needs a car for his job, and this way he can have mine cause I have the Molly Maid company car. It's pretty cool how things work out when you keep praying and your faith in God. So all that worrying and stressing AGAIN was pointless. Will I ever learn this lesson? But I do really like my job. I've always liked cleaning but this is great. It's pays good and I love it. What more could I ask for? Well my wedding to be here...like now?!? ;0)

I don't know about you but what's with the hail and snow in May? I'm pretty sure that I didn't order this. Do you? Ya you. I sure hope you didn't pray for this odd weather. But like the old saying goes, April showers bring May flowers...well in the case it should be May showers or hail or snow or whatever bring June flowers...well more like crabby people.

So I was thinking the other day, (I know me thinking? And yes it did hurt. That's just an inside joke with my family) Oct 29 cannot come sooner. I am sooooooooo anxious to be married and to be a good wife to Matt that I'm getting really impatient. To the point that I wanna elope. We won't cause I know I would regret it but Oct 29 seems to be so far away, *sigh* oh well I have nothing to do but wait...and wait and wait.

But this should be all for now. Off to do something...don't know what I thought about cleaning my room but I just realized I just clean 1 dr's office and 3 large houses. The messy room can wait till Saturday.
