Ahhh... Mr. Darcy

So I was in Starbucks yesterday morning.  Emma was in Preschool, so you will often find me here.  I like to go and do homework, read, spend time with God and, of course, have a coffee.  Yesterday was a regular morning, until I looked up.

There at a table across the way was Colin Firth's twin brother.  Okay.  He had glasses.  He also had some unwanted facial hair (I say unwanted because Colin (we're on a first name basis) doesn't have any)!  He was also a bit chubbier.  But still.  The eyes.  The dimples, the hair...It was all there.

Needless to say, I did the next most important thing: sent a text to my sister and hubby.  Jen wanted me to get a picture.  Jonathan thought I should go up and start talking in an English accent.  I did neither of those.  First of all, he was looking down the whole time doing a crossword puzzle (not writing his sister Georgiana).  Secondly, he left quite abruptly after receiving a phone call which made him quite perturbed (or proud - hard to say).  So, we will have to content ourselves with pictures of the original man himself!

I had to share.  Now I have a huge urge to watch P&P.  If you wonder what I am doing this weekend, that will probably be on my list!!  Until then, enjoy this fan video, which I've shared before, but it bears repeating!!

My Dad...

My Dad's cancer is back in his other lung. We found out a week and a half ago. Life has been hard since then. One day at a time is all we can do. We will know more when he goes to see an oncologist here in Calgary. No more flying to Toronto. He will do all his appointments and such from here. The truth is that they won't be able to do much. Just take away the pain when it comes. So, we have been praying (God still works miracles), and just reflecting on life and what we want to do with Dad this coming year (Hopefully a year).

Anyway, it is hard, but we are getting through it. The prayers have been great. I can feel God with me since we found out. Prayer is amazing. Also, God has been speaking to me through worship, the service last night, my Bible study on Mondays...He's just been there, which is AWESOME!! God is so good. I will trust in Him through this time. It's all I can do!!

Here's the song that I have been listening to this morning. Jonathan is on worship team this weekend and they are doing this song. I LOVE the words. So timely!!

I hope that you are all having a good weekend. I will give you updates on the Dad when I have them. Thanks for all you support and prayers. I know they will be awesome!!
