Some news.....

No were not pregnant! However, we did buy a whole lot of movies. Wow, you say, did we join Columbia House? Well, no. We are in the process of buying a video store. For everyone who has been to St. George, you will probably know Video Ville. So I am leaving the Credit Union and moving on to owning our own business. I am very excited, but I have so much to learn. Jeff will be giving me all his Ville knowledge next week before he goes to YWAM. So that's our news.

Dooryard?

I was just reading Wade and Jen's blog and remembered I had asked her what a "skiff" of snow is and thinking about how different our slang is depending on where you live and then I thought I would throw out this question:
(Only non Maritimers are allowed to weigh in on this issue)
-What is a door yard?
It's a common word around here, but when I went out west no one knew what I was talking about. Lets hear what you think it is...................................

The day after V-day

Yesterday Warren surprised me by having flowers delivered to me at work. Nice! Usually he skips Valentine's Day and waits until our anniversary on March 21. He also got me a book I have had my eye on - Cure for the Common Life by Max Lucado. Started it last night, so far so good. We ordered Chinese from the Good Wok in Pennfield. They were so busy that Warren didn't get home with the food until almost 8pm. Thanks to Tamara for sending mail to the girls. Lauryn is at Kings Kids right now so they haven't opened it yet, but every day she asks me if she got mail today so she will be sooooo excited to get mail, and Brooke, too.
Happy belated Birthday to Stephanie!!! Lauryn got to help her celebrate when she went to NS with mom and Syd.
I got tickets to see Rob Thomas in March in Saint John. I didn't go to Matchbox 20 when they were here and I wished I would have so this will almost the same. Newsboys are coming in April or May too.
Katie, our friend who has been living in Florida, is here staying with us. She's been babysitting for us. She came just in time. Paula, our regular babysitter, and her family have been sick so Katie has been filling in. Not much of a vacation for her at times!
Brooke is asking me to go get her and apple. She is watching Bambi 2. Warren, Lauryn, and Katie went to Kings Kids. Warren was driving the bus tonight. Brooke and I were going to take the van to Calais, Maine to get some gas and milk ( much cheaper, well worth the half hour drive) but Brooke insn't feeling too good so we'll wait until tomorrow. Just have to be back in time for Survivor!
