News From Gerri

well it's about 11:00pm and my phone rang to my suprise that it was gerri. She had to keep it quick but it was really nice to hear from her. She said, "I just phoned to let everyone know that I am still alive!", ya thanks you little brat. I'm just kidding, it was a cufort to hear her voice. I feel like I have a curse on me and that because I am pregnant that something is going to happen to someone. When I was pregnant with sanora a friend has a miscarriage and my mom dies. Now with this one a friend delivers a still born, so I'm hoping there is nothing to add to that. Yes I know I am parinoid! Gerri wanted me to let everyone know that she might not beable to have contact with everyone at months at a time. It would then be up to Dad to give the updates because the millitary updates him every month. So don't get worried if you don't hear from her in a long time.

Northern rambles

Well sanora got her own e-mail account now, sanorabonniemarshall@hotmail.com! Bryan set it up, and she looks soooo proud to have her own account like mommy and daddy. I also got an e-mail from Gerri today and she seems to be doing well. Took her 24 hours, and then to france before hitting afganistan.

Baby news!

Well with the changes that bryan and i have made sanora has really come around and her angry fits are gone. Sanora asks to see my belly all the time and kisses it. I'm really starting to feel the baby kick now, Bryan can't feel it yet but I can. Strangers still can't tell that I'm pregnant, I guess that mean it just looks like i am getting fat,lol. I actually had a bit of an arguement with a woman at work because she didn't believe I was as far alot and I am. I'll be putting photos up tonight hopefully.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!

It is so beautiful here. 2 days ago, it started snowing and it hasn't really stoped. In the mean time though it's beautiful blue skys and perfect snowman/snowball weather. The first day Sanora and i run outfirst thingand made a snow man followed by a big snow ball fight. The snow man actually melted that night so I layed the peices together and put the carrot nose in so it looked like the snow man was sleeping,lol. Next i have to get bryan, heh heh heh!

Red Fox

This is not a photo I have taken but one from the web!
I really need to be carrying my camera around at all times in Yukon. I walked Sanora down the street to take her to our friends house for her to go to super sports. We went down the wooded path beside the street, we try use that path as much as possible. I took the same route back and I saw the most beautiful fox. It was brite red with a white belly and the biggest puffy tail. The colours where so vivid on the fox it could have come out of the cartoon on Mary Poppins. The fox didn't run away it just kinda walked fast infrount on me and then stood up on a hill staring at me. It was crazy, to see a fox like that so close.

Gerri actually got delayed till the 12th and even then she doesn't know. She has to go to the base first thing in the morning but it's a kind of wait and see situation. I'll just say when she has left for sure,lol. That seems to better!

Gerri Left Today!

Gerri and I where on the phone about 5 times with each other yesterday. A while back I asked her what she thought about going and she told me that she's has no expectations and is just going one day at a time. That's probebly the best way in her position. I myself feel I'm being realistic and thinking of the worst that can happen as well as the best. If I mentally prepare myself for the worse than it will be that much easier and for the best things to happy it's one huge celebration as it should be. I told Gerri this and she was happy that was the way I was thinking about it.

She left at 5am this morning on a Civi flight so she might be on the news. If you catch the news and you see a redheaded female, that would be her,lol. She promised that she would call me as soon as she could at Afganistan. It's changed and now she is back February, then she is up here to see me and the new baby!

Ariana and Eduardo

A friend of ours Ariana and Eduardo from Vancouver sent us a parcel the other day. When we left Van we called them over to raid our fridge and cupboards. Well there was some canning in there that we didn't see and they sent it back to us in the parcel. On top of that there where some really sweet gifts for us in there. They got lip stuff for Sanora along with a necklace and a beautiful green scarf and necklace for me, and bath stuff too. I though it was the sweetest thing and I really appreciated it. Thank you Both for your generous gifts!

Thanksgiving Dinner!

Well we had our thanksgiving meal on Saterday, and Bryan cooked the most amazing meal. He cooked everything from scratch, and even made 2 pies for dessert. He made the crust the night before and then made pumpkin in which he got a real pumpkin and cooked it up, as well as an apple pie. It was crazy with the kids after dinnerthey where running around like chickens with there head cut off,lol. No matter how loud they get it doesn't really seem to matte as long as it's happy sounds!
