Exciting?

I didn't think I would care one way or the other about this - if anything I was feeling a little annoyed at the extra distance I will now have to drive - but interestingly - I'm a little bit excited now that the day is approaching. It opens this wednesday, down in our end of the city - a Walmart Supercenter. It's huge!! Yes - we drove by it. I grew up in a small town. That's what you do - you drive by the new stuff - it's very exciting. Anyway - did I mention that it is huge! and all new and shiny. I like new and shiny things :) It has groceries and all you could ever want. I feel a little guilty - big corporation taking business away from everyone else - but, selfishly, I now have a one stop shop without going all the way over to the Superstore on the East End. So that'll be my big adventure one of these days - going to Walmart! :). I will miss having the mall attached though. I'm not sure about living in one of the coldest inhabited climates in the world and having to go from store to store. Whose idea was it to have all these separate box stores anyway.... oh well, that's a whole separate rant.

There was Wal-Mart super centre that just opened in Saskatoon and the other night me and a friend went to shop. In Saskatoon we also go to Wal-Mart for "fun"!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Am I really having triplets?

What does a person blog about the day before they have triplets? I mean - there are a million things going through my head but I can hardly sort them out, let alone write them down. It's all just very amazing, surreal, scary, exhilarating and on and on and on. I think there is just too much so I'll just ask that you pray for all of us and we'll try to post news as soon as we can. I likely won't be at the computer til the end of the week (if ever again :) ) but Justin will check it and try to update everyone.

Want a Little Freedom?

Stay in your lane. Don't look at other people's papers. Those couple of lines jumped out at me as I read Maria Goff's book " Love Lives Here" It reminded me that we can't all live the same life. Comparisons hold us back and discourage us like nothing else. We have fears of being different when we are SUPPOSED to be different. I grew up trying to fit in and not doing a very good job at it. When I was in my teens I thought I'd try a new approach so I started trying to be the opposite of what I was because I thought that is what everyone else wanted me to be. I am chatty and energetic and I tried to be dainty and quiet. I didn't do a very good job of that either. Yikes. Trying to be someone we're not is exhausting and it doesn't work. We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...
