Got pic’s of Franks arrival and have semi added them but still a draft. Had to use cell phone to add them as computer died, but getting a computer today after work get it set up and hope to add what I want in the next few days. Weve had almost a full week together and its been awesome. Finally got a new camera too so will be adding really awesome pics from that rather than nice pics from the cell phone. We havent done a whole lot yet with the new camera as got the camera late in the day and the weather changed to rain and its been raining pretty much since then. We will be going out Saturday with the camera and will be taking him to various locations to show him arround and get more pic’s up town mostly for now. Once we get a vehicle will expand on that. Going to a party Saturday night up the Jam Spot where he will meet most of my friends all in one go which should be a blast. Will be making cupcakes on Saturday for the party and hope everyone enjoys them as much as I enjoy making them. Have lots to do. Will try to get more posts added through the weekend that we will have taken plus little bits of writting to go along with them.

So excited only 3 more days left till he is here, many plans have been made for his arrival. Sonia is planning to help me with an outfit to go to the airport cause I wanna look really nice, also helping with my hair and makeup. I know it will be 12:25 in the morning but still wanna look nice. She also will be taking pic’s of our first meeting in person at the airport then we will be coming back to the house to have a little welcome party with just Helen, Sonia, Him and I. Will be having a few drinks and crank up the tunes and dance our asses off, gonna be a fun night.
We will head out after a sleep to the plaza so I can show him around the main points and easy access to Tim Horton’s, Sobey’s grocery store, Dollar Store, Clothing store, and a few other places.
My 14 year old wont be home for the weekend she is going away to a friends house and my 10 year old will only be gone Friday night and will be home sometime Saturday early afternoon so she may be coming with us. Depending on the weather we may head up town so can show him around a few of my favorite places in the city and or go for a good walk.
Sunday depending on the weather thinking we will sit out on the deck and relax have a BBQ.
We will be taking lots of pic’s and will be posting them as soon as I can, with no main computer may have to borrow my sisters laptop as per usual as of late.
We are both so excited that we have been having a hard time sleeping and its getting worse each night…lol, both be glad when he gets here.
Been talking about Cuba a lot but have decided be better off going there in the spring when the storm season isn’t going on plus the heat may be too much. So we are going to take a trip to Saskatoon so I can meet his family sometime this summer. His sister is renewing her wedding vows at her lakehouse cabin, will be taking lots of pics.
Amy and her new kitten Mollie
Tabitha and her new kitten Sheldon
So the kittens will arrive sometime between 3 and 4 pm today and make a great addition to our family, we are very excited. Amy wont be home she was away for the weekend with her aunt and is going swimming for a bit during that time, Tabitha has no idea they are arriving today and she had gone over night with her dad and is coming home a couple of hours before they arrive. Got the litter box all set up and have food, water dish handy and the food on standby. All we have to do is wait now till they get here and I will be posting pic’s later this evening.
Well after so many years of knowing him he has gotten his ticket and we will meet for the first time in person the morning of May 1st. My family and I are very excited and can’t wait till he is here. We chatted on and off all day yesterday he didn’t contact me until that night because he had other things to do during the day before getting ticket. Will be posting photo’s after that weekend he is here on our meeting, my friend has agreed to come with me to airport to pick him up and she will be taking pic’s.
In 2005 my Sister had been on Facebook for a little while and kept at me to get connected and join, I had no interest on being online. Finally one day I got tired of listening to her ask or tell me how neat Facebook was and joined with more than a little reluctance.
After a few days I had added a lot of friends and family to my profile from Elementary school, Jr. High, High School and the odd one from College.
I had not been a member to long when I started to add several applications but the one that stood out was Owned, where I added several photo’s to be bought. Had not been on there long when a couple fellows starting buying my pic’s and not just one or two but all of them with the odd purchase from others and I happily bought them back when I could.
There were a couple fellows who I became friends with on the application, Frank was the first, Grant, John, Murat, a couple Stevens, and even a couple of females, Thelma, Natacha, and Jennie. There were others but these people stood out to me so I added them as friends on Facebook a couple of years after knowing them on the Owned game and have had them ever since.
I chatted with my internet Facebook friends through the inbox they have on Facebook and quite frequently, also added a few comments and posts to every friends profile as most do, but one particular fellow I started to have a connection to, a really good friend he became.
We started out chatting here and there for the time I was just friends with him on Owned but when we became Facebook friends it started to become more frequent. We both were in relationships and maintained a real friendship and respected our relationships we were in.
Eventually we started to video chat on MSN Messenger, our other half knew we chatted on MSN we never kept it a secret and our friendship grew even more and that was all it was a friendship, I chatted with a few different friends and so did he on MSN.
We seen each other as most friends through many life’s ups and downs, we were there for each other always talking about family, friends and even the weather. One time a little while into our friendship he was going through marital problems and as any good friend I listened and gave encouragement that things would be ok and that he always could count on me for a shoulder to cry on and he did the same for me. He was on his way to getting a divorce and my relationship was turning rocky and we had such similar situations it was easy to talk to each other.
After a bit he started dating again and had a new girlfriend in his life and we talked a little less but that didn’t last to long we needed our friendship and my relationship was getting to the point where I needed his friendship, I helped him through his troubled times and now he was there for me.
After a couple of years both of us were extremely unhappy and contemplating ending our relationships, and we started talking on a daily basis on Facebook trying to figure things out. He had made a remark about leaving his hometown to come across the country to treat me better than the man I was with. One day I could not take anymore of my relationship and I ended it after 9 years and I knew it was the right thing to do because I felt better and so did my kids. I contacted him on Facebook letting him know that I had ended my relationship later that evening and was surprised as he was because he had done the same thing, we were both amazed and our connection strengthened. He again mentioned about coming across the country to be with me.
After a few days of being single we started to chat on Facebook video chat on a daily basis and after a week I told him my cell number so we could text each other whenever we had the chance, that began a journey we had no idea where it would lead us. Because he lived on the other side of the country at that time we only had a two-hour time difference so he would text me from his work during his breaks and my boss was the type where as long as I got my work done could text anytime I wanted which was awesome. He texted me like clockwork first before he went into work, then at his coffee break, lunch, last break and when he got home he would let me know and we would go onto Facebook video chat and talk for hours.
We talked about what we were looking for in a relationship and our likes and dislikes and we had found that we were so similar. I had to remark that opposites do attract but always seems to fade from my experiences and he agreed. We also talked about mental, emotional needs, wants, and found out we agreed on how we would want to treat another person and the way we wanted to be treated ourselves in a relationship.
Then it happened he told me he was falling for me and my heart skipped a beat and I acted on it telling him that if he still wanted to be with me he could and the plans started up. We had decided that the fall would be the best time for him to fly down but as time went on we knew we could not wait that long, then we decided on the first of July so he could be here for our best weather but yet again it was too long. We became so close it felt as if we were made for each other and the friendship grew to love, so we again decided to move the date up and it would now be the first week of May which today will be 9 days May 1st.
He gave notice to his landlord on April 1st and just gave his job notice last Monday, I also had the luck to meet two of his sisters online a few days ago and they are very nice people. One sister I talked to a lot and she told me she was so happy for us and the family was too and that he must really have something big for me to be giving up his really good paying job, his car and to fly across the country to be with me. She said also that she could tell we were deeply connected and it was the right move for both of us even though the family would miss him like crazy, but he needs to find his own happiness. We will not have video contact again and the next time we see each other is when I pick him up from the airport, we will have phone contact texting and talking until then.
Last night he mentioned to me that it would be cool to have one of my sisters to come out the airport and take pictures of us meeting each other for the first time since we met online six to seven years ago.
So I find out sometime today the exact date and time he will arrive at the airport because he’s getting his ticket today and we are both so excited and so is my family they are super happy about this as well they have met him online video as well.
Well fell off my program I been doing for about a month and have gained 4 pounds. Oh Well. Anyhow everyone has their moment I guess, but what counts is today I have really tried to get back on track and have not had any junk and believe me there is junk here to have. So hope to get back what I lost in a couple of weeks and that will give me at least 2-3 months to get a little lower than what I have been. My lowest from this battle has been 155 pounds so I hope to get down to at least 10 pounds in a few months, see how it goes. Bought a couple really nice summer dresses one for just regular wear and the other my first little black dress for evening wear going out. I fit in them really nice prior to the mishap of gaining a few pounds back but hope to use them this summer. Anyhow back to the grind.
Sometime in May we will be planning a trip to Cuba somewhere I have been wanting to go for the last 6-7 years. Many of my co-workers from my old job frequented Cuba on a yearly basis. I cant wait to start that process, need our passports done up and sent to the house and then we can really make some solid plans of when we want to go. I will be taking lots of photo’s of all kinds, going to be click happy. LOL. I will also be posting the photo’s after the trip for all to see.
Well have had 4 window companies come through the house and expecting one more and have had 1 electrical company in. Have not got any estimates yet and am waiting to hear back from each of them. Hope to get work started before summer because it will get very warm in the house because where old crappy windows I had to caulk them all shut to keep cold air from seeping in.
Took pictures of all the windows I am going to have replaced as well as the doors, havent had much time to do much with the site been too busy. I will be getting the pictures up once all the work has been done so can have the comparison of before and after.
Cant see the point in taking pictures of the before after for the electrical but it will be completed as well eventually, just waiting to hire companies to do all this work.
