Saturday fiascos

Thursday something fell down our chimney. Friday we thought it had died.

But today it started scrabbling and i became nervous.. So Ben and I opened up the chimney to investigate , and ontop of the chimney balloon was an animal.
Chimney Balloon ->

We shone a torch and came to the conclusion it was a rodent. (easy enough.)

But on further inspection we realized that it was a big bird. i.e a sea gull.
I was really scared. How were we supposed to get it out????

We phoned as many services as we could think of, but eventually the fire service came to our rescue.

It turned out to be an adult sea gull. Who had fallen and got stuck.

What a fiasco. Im glad it's over.
Thanx to Ben and the fire service.

what a year

What a fun filled weekend. ONE year yesterday Ben & I got married.
It's been amazing, & i could tell you loads about it but it would take too long.

So an over view of this weekend:-

Friday we went to Ben's boss house for dinner. He is an interesting man ( More of a fruit loop than me) & that's saying something.
Alot of alchol was divoured and their were sore heads in the morning. Ha Ha Ha
Also got to have a ride in a kit-car Morgan. Very fast and so cool.


Saturday Ben surprised me by taking me to London and on the London Eye and Ferry. It was really lovely and a big surprise.

An amazing feat for someone with vertigo and who can't swim. But the love and romance was more important.

Sunday was busy as Ben was in the band at church and i was in the choir. Then all move as all Nathan & Louisa's furnature was going on monday . So we moved as much as we could.
Coffee at the Jolly's then crash.

Today has been weired & hectic but great. We now have a house with no furnature , but painting has begun.

May this year be full of change, suddenly's and grace.
And i can't wait.

review

This year has been full of the biggest highs and some mighty lows. The views and experiences of the best time of this year and my life, Must be my wedding. To the most pacient, understanding and loving man.
It amazes me that God can bring two totally different people together and for it to work.











My life has been turned up-side-down in the best way. And it has defenatly been a rollercoaster.

This draws me to the lows:- fun as they are!, we are getting through with God & Eachother.
Bring on 2007, may it be more fun, exciting and blessed than 2006.

I'm reaching for an inspired and God filled year.

Anyway i was writting to give my review so here goes:-

Best Film/ Movie:- It has to be "Everything is Illuminated."

Best Album:- The String Quartet Tribute to "The Killers".

Best Holiday:- Barcellona.

Best Children's T.v Theme tune of 2006:- It has to be " Charlie & Lola". It's like jazzy lift music. funny and cool.

Well that's all i can think of. Here's striving for the best of 2007. Hopefully with a morgage, still enjoying jobs and no big suprises i.e ( Babies)

tooth extraction

I just wanted to share with you the beauty of my lack of tooth.

Doesn't it look lovely!!!!!. This is after a month and 2 loads of antibiotics. But at last it's healing.

Life

Holding on, is hard. A struggle even.
But to achieve the goal is worth it always.

Wall climbing is a great testoment to this.
The level 3's are easy, so you move to level 4 to achieve a better goal.
Not realising that it is a big jump from one to the other.

In the picture i was climbing a level 4b i think ( pete can correct me if im wrong).
Anyway i havn't been all summer and it was a struggle.
It frustrated me, took all my will and physical power.
But i Made it.

I'm writting this because i'm struggling at the moment. I can't see the light of the end but i know if i keep going i will reach the top and Make it.

Please pray and keep Ben and myself in your thoughts.


I'm thankfull for:-

God
Ben
Family
Friends
Work
Home
Car
Love
Life
Children
And all the blessings God gives me everyday.

Remember to keep going, never stop. And you will get to the goal. Even if it is a struggle. Keep pushing up, looking for the next hand hold. And you can reach the top.

All my Love

Not already!!!!

Christmas at the Gray's 2005

I love Christmas:-
family, friends, games, food, excitement, prezzies, carols, midnight mass, surprise and most of all the nativity. ( Thanx play centre)
But i just can't quite believe it, decorations and products are in stores already. In October???
What is going on? The world is losing the reason for celebration and gaining greed and glutony. Yes sharing and giving is wonderful, and one of my favourite things about Christmas. But i'm starting to think that Christmas is becoming a food binge and all about what do i get ( me, me me) that we are missing Christ.

Well that's my rant over:-

I am good and my new job is fantastic. And Married 5 months and loving it.
