Hospital photos were never my favourite and I assumed I would have all the time in the world to take the photos I liked later. For those that have read my blog you know love, one of my twins passed away at 5 days old. He never came home from the hospital. I didn't take as many pictures of Grace because of my grieving heart, I struggled to have her pictures done at all always feeling like her twin should be with her. As we are all reminded in the bible there is a season to all things. (Not a bible reader? I'm sure you know the song) my time to grieve has passed that not at all what this post is about... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My point is just that it's important to capture those memories, to cherish each moment and each day that you do have. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have become a big fan of capturing my daughter with fun photos! We had portraits taken in Sears at the fairyland photo event and are now planning on coming in for a vintage photo shoot! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One of the things I like about this event is that I am able to bring in personal props that have meaning to my family, but they also have props so if I decide to just go with what they have I'm well covered.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It is a one day event being held in abbotsford Sears July 29,2015.

Lets talk about dating and age differences.<br />
<br />
I'm not talking about just a few years here... if it was within 10 years I wouldn't so much as bat an eye. I personally don't see that as a huge age difference, though I am aware that for some that would be quite a bit. My general rule of thumb has always been that if I am going to date someone they need to be closer to my age than my moms. My mom and I are 19 years apart so 9 - 10 years older is the most I would have considered.<br />
<br />
Here is where I tell you about my pair of Oxfords.Old fashioned, classic, and all around just a smart shoe. I work with the general public and this is where I met Oxfords. I chatted with him as I do just about anybody and found him to be quite interesting. Over about 6 months Oxfords has continued to make a point to stop by to say hello and has offered to pay for a trip to Hawaii, with the stipulation that I be willing to have dinner with him on his native island. I of course just laughed and said it would be much easier for us to have dinner in this country.<br />
<br />
The thing is Oxfords is a lot older than me. I mean a lot. As in older than my parents... So tell me how old is too old?<br />
<br />
I posed the question to my facebook to see what others thought and this was the response I received:<br />

So there are some very interesting and strong opinions for sure!Some that even seemed a bit contradictory. I am pretty sure I know who JBean was talking about and that is a woman approaching 40 dating a 20 something year old. If the age gap were reversed and he was older would it have been seen as inappropriate? Or is it because in that case the woman is older so it's not as accepted?<br />
<br />
I do see a lot of truth in having a similar life stage. After all how long could a relationship realistically be supported? At his age (not to be rude) it wouldn't be unheard of for his health to rapidly deteriorate, and where would that leave me? Going from caring for small children to caring for a senior. Just at the time I would be looking at empty nest and having time to go and enjoy life He would be reaching the end of his life. If I were the kind of girl who was just looking for a sugar daddy, this would be something I would probably pursue, but I want so much more. What kind of example would that be setting for my daughter? Though I do quite enjoy his company, oxfords is just a friend.shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-1181112473574678222015-02-07T22:42:00.000-08:002015-02-07T22:42:10.294-08:00Oh My Shoes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh my shoes, how I love thee...<br />
<br />
I have been away from the shoe filled dating world for a while, after breaking off an engagement I needed time. Time to do my own sole searching, perhaps allowing time to heal a broken heart. well and body. I made mention of having been in a car accident and the recovery process has been long and grueling, and honestly still continues. The reality is I think there was permanent damage done, which I still can't really talk about yet as the claim is still open. Though writing here has been a challenge because I have been struggling with the ability to type from the injury.<br />
<br />
Let me start catching everyone up!<br />
<br />
Once upon a time about 7 years ago a met a man whom I called ballet slipper. Didn't offer any support when I needed it. Perhaps in a lot of ways he has become more of a slipper to me. He is comfortable to be with but I wouldn't wear him out. He has remained lingering around the edges of my life. he doesn't know my friends or family and I don't know his and we are ok with that. We may text or chat and once in a while grab a coffee.<br />
<br />
There was a day many years ago I would have been interested in pursuing something more with ballet slippers, but at that point he wasn't ready, and by the time he was I felt like that boat had sailed. Oh the poor boy didn't see it coming...<br />
<br />
Imagine this, it's shortly after the engagement was called off, and in steps my old friend ballet slippers. He decides he wants to ask me out on a saturday, during the day. Oh how nice to live your life inside a tiny little bubble that doesn't include even the slightest thought of any little people or responsibilities towards others. I kindly declined at first, but then he pushed. He wanted to know why...<br />
<br />
So i told him. I told him he just proved how we were at very different places in our lives that he wouldn't even have considered that saturday was my time with my children. Never mind the fact that it had been years since we had considered dating and that quite frankly that boat had sailed a long time ago.I also reminded him that I had just ended an engagement and really my heart was still on the mend and I was in no way ready for dating.<br />
<br />
It wasn't long after that he met someone and was in a relationship for about a year. They broke up a few months ago and low and behold there he is again texting me daily. Nothing has changed really though. That boat has still sailed a long time ago, he just isn't my sneaker.<br />
<br />
I have a few more pairs to catch up on so stay tuned to hear more!<br />

Did you know <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2515351/">70% of your immune system </a>is in your <b>digestive tract</b>? How crazy is that! So if you want overall good health I'm thinking you need to <i>take care of the digestive system</i> first right? Only for some of us that is easier said than done.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My journey with health and food started a few years ago. I was at work one day when I had an allergic reaction to something. It happens though right? Not a big deal, take some antihistamine and carry on. Only <u>as the days went on I was getting worse</u>. I think it was 3 trips to the hospital because I couldn't stop coughing trying to get air, my throat was very itchy and I looked like I had a severe cold. For a bigger reaction it takes me about <b>6 weeks to recover</b> with the help of multiple medications.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is where I tell you how much genetics suck.My mom has a lot of food allergies / intolerances. A lot. As in no wheat, no carrots, no red meats, no just about everything. Really it would be easier to tell you what she can eat. I was 15 when she found all this out and went gluten free, you know before it was trendy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So back to my little story, there I was desperate to recover from this reaction to I don't know what and realizing that my body was in a weakened state so some of those foods I was kind of tolerating, those were probably keeping me sick. So I went on a rice diet. Guess what I found out... gluten is really not my friend. Figures it would take 4 months to see an allergist to try to figure out what was going on and by then I was already gluten free so when it came time for testing for celiac I couldn't get a diagnosis.Who knows? It could be leaky gut syndrome for all I know. It is very hard to get a diagnosis because you have to stay sick to get the diagnosis and I was not willing to do that. Not when there was a solution for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I knew what I needed was to <a href="http://breakingmuscle.com/nutrition/the-four-rs-how-to-restore-optimal-gut-health">repair my gut</a>. Years of consuming foods that I didn't react well to had taken it's toll and it was evident to me. I had gone so far as to download an <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/bowel-mover-pro-digestion/id480842167?mt=8">app</a> for my i-phone to track how things were progressing in the bathroom. <i>(sorry tmi)</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was recommended that I take probiotics, enzymes and with any protein drink water with apple cider vinegar in it. I needed to change the way I cooked and the food choices I made. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cost to this was not cheap though. The gluten free probiotics were expensive! as was everything else. And the size of the pills were ridiculous. <b>I really really really hate taking pills</b>. Seriously. I am a choker. They do not go down well and I slightly panic every single time. OK sorry it's not slightly panic, I really panic. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then.... In steps <a href="mailto:dssecker@hotmail.com" target="_blank">Sue</a>. Sue is a friend of mine and she tells me about this company called <a href="http://www.caatomy.com/">Atomy</a>. Well actually she hands me a <a href="http://www.caatomy.com/">toothbrush set</a> and said here try this, it's the best. Ummm OK. As we are talking though she mentions some other products including probiotics. My ears perk up a bit. It's not a pill.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
NOT A PILL!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My heart is dancing with this wonderful discovery. Here try one she says handing me what looks kind of like a sugar straw. <b>OH MY GOSH</b>! It happens to taste like a sugar straw too! <b>YUM</b>.<br />
<br />
I should note tastes like a sugar straw but with only good stuff in it many many thanks to nanotechnology... No crazy fillers in this stuff and yes gluten free, I must have asked like 20 different people that just to be sure lol</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As if that wasn't good enough, turns out it's <b><u>cheaper</u></b> than the big ugly horse pills I was taking! Atomy is able to keep the price down because they sell direct. No middlemen involved. Of course this also means you won't be able to just run to your nearest health food store to pick some up. You do need someone to sign you up, but unlike so many other direct companies there are no fees for joining. So you can just order from online, or if you prefer just ask a friend who is already ordering to grab some for you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am faithfully using these probiotics now and guess what, I quite happily deleted that app from my phone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you have questions about my experience are interested in trying some for yourself let me know by leaving a comment, I will do my best to get back to you right away.</div>

I'm not going to sit here and say anything negative about him because really the biggest thing is that we are just two very different people. We value different things at the core of who we are. Having such different ideals trying to come together to share a life was asking both of us to sacrifice who each of us was at our core, and that was not fair to either of us.</div>

Where everywhere you go the same thing is repeated to you over and over again? When even just rummaging through a box of papers you come across the same thing?<br />
<br />
It's like God is really just gob smacking you and saying, "<b>Just stop and listen for once would you!</b>"<br />
<br />
Wanna know what it is that keeps coming at me? Of course you do, and trust me it will benefit all who pause to take this one in. I mean really take it in and heed what is being said.<br />

Pretty big stuff eh? Well maybe not at first but if you stop, and I mean full. on. stop. Consider the words. Think about the implications. Follow through with it. This is life changing.<br />
<br />
You don't need to be anxious, nervous, afraid, uneasy, restless, stressed, concerned, apprehensive, distressed or anything like that. Ever. Why do you think that is? I know this may be hard for some to hear and there will be those of you who don't agree or understand where I am coming from here. I am going to tell you though it is because God cares about you. He loves you and yes wants the best for you. God knows your every need, and even more so He knows your every desire. God wants only good things for you.<br />
<br />
(I think someone just read that and felt really angry. I know <strike>shitty</strike> crappy things happen everyday and suffering seems to abound more than anything. We have all been tremendously hurt, and while that was not God's will for your life I promise He can make beauty from ashes. send me a message and I will be happy to talk it out with you)<br />

<br />
Did you see that? You are more valuable. God sees you, and He knows. He knows everything about you, including what you need, and guess what He still loves you. (Even if you aren't perfect! He loves you where you are today, right now in this moment) God loves you so much that He wants to give you what you need and even more... He wants to give you what you desire.<br />
<br />
(Here is where I throw in my thoughts about how as parents we know our kids desire candy for dinner, and while we want to give our kids things they want we also give them what they need, like veggies)<br />
<br />
I apologize for all my tangents here but it strikes me that someone is sitting there asking how I could possibly know that God loves them so to pause for a second I just need to share this first.<br />

<br />
I know God loves you because God is love. Love is sacrificial and beautiful, and there is nothing that could ever prevent God from loving you. God wants nothing more than to be reconciled to you, to be in relationship with you...<br />
<br />
Really that brings us back to the initial thing I was writing about! By prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.<br />
<br />
If God knows what we need and desire, why pray? What's up with that whole part of it?<br />
<br />

<br />
It seems to me God wants to hear from you. We live in this crazy instant gratification society where if things don't happen with a snap of our fingers we tend to give up. Here's the thing, in the waiting we get to build character. More over in the suffering, we get to build character.<br />
<br />
Let me say that again so you don't miss that. In the waiting, and in the suffering, you build character.<br />
<br />
It is often in times of distress, such as was the case of the widow we read about, that we have the opportunity to draw close to God and for faith to be built up. We learn to trust in God, and in His faithfulness.<br />
<br />
We talk to God because we have a relationship with Him. <br />
<br />
Let me ask you this, have you ever had someone who was a friend but then only called when they needed something? What kind of friend is that? What happened to your relationship with that person?<br />
<br />
God loves you and He is pursuing you. That being said He is a gentleman and has given you the gift of free will. God loves you so much that He won't force you to come to Him, but rather just extends an invitation and waits for you to respond.<br />
<br />

<br />
How is that working for you? Well for me I need to take some proactive steps to making some changes in my life.<br />
<br />
There was a rather life changing event that took place in my life (OK lots of life changing events). One in particular has left me feeling rather in the lurch and wondering where exactly my life is going. A car accident has caused some damage and while I am waiting to see a neurologist to figure out the nerve damage stuff, I need to figure out a way to support my family, that doesn't involve lifting or sitting at a computer.<br />
<br />
That being said, I decided to try to <a href="http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/jennifer-ford.html">sell some of my photos</a>! I found this great website that takes care of the selling part for me. Fine Art America allows you to sell your art on canvass, as a poster, greeting card, or even a cell phone cover. It is hugely stepping out of my comfort zone, exposing a piece of me to the world means being open to critics.<br />
<br />

This blog has always been about how men are like shoes, and I am a shoeless mommy; meaning I am a single mom. I have been for years now. I also know I'm not alone in <a href="http://www.resistattack.org/Articles/Home-Security/Tios-For-Home-Security-For-Single-Parents">independent parenting</a> so where ever I can I like to pass on any tips or products that may be valuable to others.<br />
<br />
Being a single parent has meant being both mom and dad to my amazing children, now 13 and 8 years old. It means that I have had to be the provider, counsellor, disciplinarian, chauffeur, cook, housekeeper, and everything else that goes along with that. This of course includes making sure my kids are safe. It is for sure a difficult balancing act to say the least.<br />
<br />
Previously, I lived in a town house complex. I felt secure living in "the fish bowl" where all the neighbours faced one another. It seemed there was always people right there and watching that you knew and trusted. As with everything in life this had both advantages and disadvantages, as I am sure you can imagine. Yes for a long time I did feel a sense of security. My neighbours were also friends and at any time I knew I could be assured that we were all there to work together. The down side of course was the rumour mill, everyone was always in each others business, and everyone had an opinion about everything. But gosh darn-it if something was out of whack everyone knew about it immediately!<br />
<br />
Recently, I moved to a wonderful old house with lots of privacy. Really almost the opposite of where I was before. While I seriously LOVE it, it does present issues I was not previously concerned with. Mainly that of security for my family.<br />
<br />
I had been talking to a friend of mine who shared with me an experience of his <a href="http://kickproof.com/index.php?pr=Kick-In_Videos">home being invaded</a> by men with guns. Someone was home and access had been obtained through kicking in the door. My mind flashed back to a co-worker a few years back, who while on vacation had her home broken into. Her brother lived in a suite in the home so the house didn't look empty. Again the criminals gained access through kicking in the door. My brother who owns a rather large and scary looking dog also had his door kicked in. We may never know what they did to his dog, but the thieves took everything except perhaps the visibly shaken dog.<br />
<br />
I have seen statistics that suggest that 73% of burglars kick in doors to gain access to homes. It would seem that in North America we have a bit of a design flaw with our entry ways. Being as they open inward instead of out and that the frames are made of soft wood that are what about an inch thick. Guess what? This combination means it is going to take about 2 seconds to kick that frame in.<br />
<br />
2 seconds... think about that. It means even if you live in a fish bowl and feel pretty secure, that criminal could be out of sight before your nosey neighbours even make it to the window or door to see what's going on. Worse yet if you look at statistics again 39% of assaults and <a href="http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/frequency-of-sexual-assault">60% of rapes</a> occur during a home invasion. Did you also know that during economic downturns that crime rates go up? yikes!<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but the thought of that stuff seriously makes me want to throw up. And not just a little. The thing is I can't un-know things. So now I know this what do I do about it? Well a little research shows me a product called the Rebar DSD, or Rebar Door Security Device can help.<br />
<br />
What is it? It is a door security device that reinforces that one inch soft wood door frame. It makes it so that your door can't get kicked in. It even comes with a <a href="http://kickproof.com/index.php?pr=Guarantee">lifetime guarantee</a>.<br />
<br />
Essentially it's this metal strip that you screw into the door jamb. Seriously so easy to<a href="http://kickproof.com/DIY_Install.php"> install</a> even I can do it on my own. (Single mom's have to be able to do anything!)<br />
<br />
I found the product at <a href="http://www.kickproof.com/">www.kickproof.com</a> and since I don't have a standard door, I was glad to see there were a few <a href="http://kickproof.com/On_Sale_Now.php">different products</a> to meet my needs. (and price points too!) I love that this for me is a local product and is made right here in BC. (Love to support local business) I know the odds are I haven't touched on all your your questions about the product. I had a few questions myself and called 1-888-357-0459 and spoke with a <a href="http://kickproof.com/">kickproof.com</a> person and I can say he was friendly and knowledgeable. The guy I spoke to called me back right away and made me feel at ease.<br />
<br />
Most importantly though, I appreciate the peace of mind this brings. I would do anything to keep my kids safe, and really to spend 20 minutes installing <a href="http://kickproof.com/REBAR_DSD24X_Door_Security_Device.php">this</a> is worth it.<br />
<br />
Oh and if this is coming to you too late, you can also<a href="http://kickproof.com/DIY_Repair_Kit.php"> repair kicked in doors </a>with this.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last November I sent the following email to my pastor:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Subject: Prayer Request</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">So I have decided to get married. Don't get too excited for me yet I still need to find a suitable groom. Still it's a big step from my rather chosen life of no dating. Though now that I have made this decision (and this time not just because of the second income lol) I could use some help in the praying for my future husband. The only real criteria I have is that whoever he is must be a Christian and evidence fruits of the spirit in his life. He must love Jesus. Outside of that I am fairly open. Thank you for praying with me on this one, oh and if you know anyone... ;)</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.sevenoaks.org/">Pastor Errol's</a> response:</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I hadn't dated since <a href="http://shoelessmommy.blogspot.ca/2011/06/singles-marrieds-crocks.html">Crocks</a>.Remember him? Really different core beliefs and values, I tried to make a square peg fit into a round hole, as they say, and when something doesn't fit it just hurts. Anyway that is all water under the bridge now. It's been a long time and I was feeling ready for something new. I had learned from my mistakes though and there was no way I was going to settle for anything less.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Let me tell you something about <a href="http://www.sevenoaks.org/">Pastor Errol</a>, he is one of those men that when he prays for you, you know it. You can literally feel it. If you don't know someone like that I am sad for you, seriously. When I send a prayer request to my pastor I get some serious </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;">results</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"> lol and almost immediate! This was no exception.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">It wasn't long before I was at church and leaned over to Pastor Errol and said, "I can tell you have been praying for me... I met someone!" To which he let out a laugh and told me he couldn't wait to meet him.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Sneakers is everything I was looking for.(Yes people I called him sneakers!) Here is a man who shares my beliefs and values, who is kind and caring. A great father, spiritual leader, a man of determination and integrity. A man with different strengths than me, that can challenge me and even hold me accountable. Well and he is incredibly handsome.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Friday, February 15, 2013 Sneakers proposed, and I eagerly accepted.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaT7Rh5RQ4MI3m891N-Fn3N_BxgRoWRGk8pRdD_aq7ul1z1kepRjc31PRnkaJM88k5KQW-7G1cOwetQbEYzFKuU_swwsUTjApP2872iUeRyoce5zI7aIPj50pajLS9EnUNJn9W76rfjJ0/s1600/where+propose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaT7Rh5RQ4MI3m891N-Fn3N_BxgRoWRGk8pRdD_aq7ul1z1kepRjc31PRnkaJM88k5KQW-7G1cOwetQbEYzFKuU_swwsUTjApP2872iUeRyoce5zI7aIPj50pajLS9EnUNJn9W76rfjJ0/s400/where+propose.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">This is where Sneakers proposed. It was an amazingly beautiful day and I will forever be grateful I live in BC and this was the weather as opposed to the 6 ft of snow they got back east!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6WiPYcyoQjU_hkGs_e6e0_zqpew2ntLuEHMmLUUzixm-ikP8brUE-zvDUAE_-Tfa-u5uxpR1_58eRwodSwnUHEPFaluF_U9S6tHnEnspAwQD5DdZluxNB5YxfAq0SawO_mjrsQ6rcXpc/s1600/ring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6WiPYcyoQjU_hkGs_e6e0_zqpew2ntLuEHMmLUUzixm-ikP8brUE-zvDUAE_-Tfa-u5uxpR1_58eRwodSwnUHEPFaluF_U9S6tHnEnspAwQD5DdZluxNB5YxfAq0SawO_mjrsQ6rcXpc/s640/ring.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Here is a pic of the stunning ring Sneakers gave me.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">The big question everyone is asking is when is the big day? Honestly right now I don't know. I know that we would like it to be sooner that later. I know that we need to find an affordable house that will fit for us, our 4 kids and 2 dogs first. I know we would both be happy to elope (it's about the marriage, not the wedding!) but I also know that that might just kill my mom just a little. So something small and intimate anyway.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 19px;">As for how my kids feel about this... 2 days before Sneakers proposed Mister (now 13) told me that if Sneakers didn't propose soon that I should. LOL think the kids could tell their momma was serious about this guy? Lil Miss really likes Sneakers too. And what are the odds Lil Miss and Sneakers older boy share a birthday which was the day after we got engaged. It really has been a wonderful, crazy, head-spinning kind of week. Most importantly though I am ridiculously happy, and head over heals in love with the most amazing, Christ-centred man.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

Somebody recently asked me what marriage means to me.<br />
<br />
What a big question! So many thoughts and images ran through out my mind I could barely grasp them. None seemed full enough to encapsulate my thoughts. I could say it is about companionship, commitment, loyalty, love, coming together of two people. Yet while all of these are true not one on its own or even grouped together really begin to come close to what marriage means to me.<br />
<br />
Once upon a time we had a word that was understood and perhaps would have been able to describe my thoughts. Regrettably it is a word that no longer holds the same meaning and has become somewhat obsolete and misunderstood.Perhaps if I try to unravel that now.<br />
<br />
I am talking about covenant. Perhaps you look at that and say I know what that means, it's a promise. Only it really is so much more than that. Covenant is a joining together of flesh, it is a picture of Christ and His bride the Church.<br />
<br />
Let us start by looking at covenant historically. When a man and woman entered into covenant relationship they took a goat and split it right down the middle. Each half of the goat was laid out and the couple would walk between them (through the pools of blood) and vow that if they break their covenant that God should treat each of them as the goat. That they should be split down the middle as well. This was referred to as the walk through death.<br />
<br />
The blood covenant had no escape clause, once you have entered into it there is no backing out unto death. This covenant is stronger than family ties, which is why the bible tells us that a man is to leave his family and cleave to his wife. It is the joining of two people to one.<br />
<br />
Let me say that again, covenant is two people becoming one flesh. One life.<br />
<br />
It is the coming together as one in all aspects of life. It is connecting emotionally, physically, spiritually, in literally every aspect of life. Each person takes on the others friends, foes, debts, wealth. there is no division. They are to be each others closest allies, and they demonstrate that two together are stronger than one alone.<br />
<br />
While my focus here is on marriage covenant I need to say that covenant is not just between man and wife. King David was in covenant with Saul's son Jonathon, and <a href="http://www.wake-up.org/Alpha/Chapter8.htm">God the Father entered into covenant</a> with His people. Nations entered into covenants with each other as well.<br />
<br />
I hope that was able to demonstrate that when I say marriage is a covenant relationship I mean it is for life, it is not something to be entered into lightly. It encompasses all things, and one must be prepared to love the other person as they love themselves.<br />
<br />
Ephesians 5:31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh"<br />
<br />
Ephesians 5:28 "In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself."<br />
<br />
God calls people to a marriage relationship for other purposes as well. Yes for procreation, but for a much deeper purpose as well. In genesis God says it is not good for man to be alone and he creates Adam's Ezer Kenegdo, or help mate. What is interesting here is that Ezer Kenegdo is only used when referring to people the one time. Any other reference is to God being man kinds Ezer. (I could spend a lot of time just on that, but I need to focus!)<br />
<br />
What I am reading here is that it is good that man not be alone but that we should have a help mate. Through this special relationship God is able to work, and teach us. I believe it's intention is to demonstrate Christ's love for us. While we live in a fallen world and of course will always fall short of the glory of God; in this covenant relationship there should be a basis of trust, and a feeling of security, that we should fully be able to share of ourselves to the other person without fear of judgement or recrimination. It is in the safety of the marriage relationship that we ought to practice and find forgiveness, to extend grace in the manner that God intended.<br />
<br />
Let me ask you this... Have you ever had someone love you? I don't mean that oh you're just the bees knees kind of way, but rather really love you. They see you, all of you, and they love you so much that that person would be willing to lay down their life for you. This is the way Jesus loves you, and this covenant relationship is intended to mirror Christ's love for you and draw you deeper into relationship with Him.<br />
<br />
Marriage is also used as a refining tool. We are reminded in Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpens iron; So a man sharpens his friend's countenance." This is where I point out yet again that we live in a fallen world where sin abounds. We are imperfect and joining as one is surely not an easy task. Living in a society that values independence instead of interdependence, learning to walk in step as one is a challenge. Certainly, as it is walking through death into a new covenant, that death should signify the old lives, leaving it behind for the new life as one.<br />
<br />
This in itself means sacrifice and surrender. It needs to not be about who wins or who loses during a disagreement. It needs to be looking at what the other persons needs are and putting them ahead of yourself. You need to remember at this point that you are one flesh and you are called to love the other person as you love yourself. As self centered beings this is not an easy task but with Christ as the center and basis of the relationship, I should hope the other person also wants to put you first.<br />

<br />
While really I feel like I could write a book talking about this I think at this point I will summarize. Marriage is a covenant relationship, it is a shadow of Christ, marriage refines us. I hope now though that through those simple words, that marriage is so much more.<br />

Ever have an important meeting and at the end thought to yourself, "Gee, that could have gone better."<br />
<br />
I'll just tell you now that is not what you want to feel like when applying for a Habitat for Humanity home. I was able to meet with 2 of the women from the board in my home last night and I'll be honest it didn't go as well as I would have liked.<br />
<br />
To start off with I should tell you I have 2 very adorable and very sweet miniature schnauzers. Chevy and Carter came into my life both over the past year. They are brothers but Carter is 1 year old and Chevy is 4. (Carter is pictured right) Did I also mention that we had a flu bug go through our house over the weekend? I was actually home sick yesterday but not wanting to blow this opportunity, managed to make it out of the sweats I had been living in to put on something decent and used my make-up to it's fullest extent in an effort to look normal.<br />
<br />
Well when these lovely ladies got to my house my puppies very excited ran up to them and jumped. As it turns out these wonderful and gracious women don't necessarily care for dogs... I was nervous and not thinking and should have had them in the backyard. My oops. Not a great way to start things off.<br />
<br />
I would like to say that things recovered from there, but I'm not sure I can. I had thought it would be nice to bake some cookies and have tea for them, but that didn't seem to go over to well. I don't think I could tell you even one question they asked because I was just a bundle of nerves and my stomach was still in recovery mode from the flu as it was. I am quite sure I sounded like a bumbling idiot the whole time.<br />
<br />
They were impressed with my application. If you remember I put it together in a binder and had a title page. Each paper was in a protective sheet, and I had lots of notes explaining everything all the way through.<br />
<br />
Some of the things they asked were about where I live currently, how a co-op works, they asked the kids questions about where they went to school and if they have lots of friends where we live. The big thing was do I understand about the sweat equity. Yes I really do understand that if you help me with housing I need to give you 500 hours of sweat equity. And if you help me get a house I will freely give you every last remaining second of my time for as long as you need it.<br />
<br />
I was told there would be another interview with different board members this week. Probably Wednesday or Thursday. I'll make sure the puppies are outside first this time. <br />
<br />
The really exciting part is that these really are no nonsense people. They are real life decision makers. It can be easy for a process like this to drag on and on, and truth be told I'm not sure I could handle the not knowing for that long. Habitat for Humanity does plan on having a decision made as to who will get this house in the first week of June. <em>(Silently praying please pick me)</em>shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-22366394699595183242012-05-13T21:43:00.001-07:002012-05-15T16:01:13.363-07:00Weekend Fun?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First let me start by saying happy Mothers Day!<br />
<br />
I was flying high knowing I was short listed for Habitat for Humanity and was looking forward to taking advantage if the sunny weather to finally stain my deck.<br />
<br />
Saturday was going great, the deck has been stained and my son even agreed to get a haircut! How much better could the day get? My kids had even been wonderful enough to bring me breakfast in bed and have snuggle time with an old movie. It was brilliant.<br />
<br />
Then just at the end of the day it all came crashing down. Poor lil miss got sick. She was embarrassed and didn't tell me so I didn't notice anything until just before I was going to go to bed. By then the dogs had dragged icky things around the house making an unspeakable mess. Long story short I was cleaning until about 2:00am.<br />
<br />
Today being mothers day my mom had wanted to lay to rest the ashes of her mother. My grandma passed away in February this year after a courageous battle with cancer. This in it self is really a whole different story, that I will tell you about another time. I wasn't able to go with my family today because well I was on mom duty dealing with a virus. I'm sure Grandma would understand.<br />
<br />
I received a call from Betty Ann confirming our meeting tomorrow which to my surprise is at my house. I figured no need to tell her about lil miss not feeling well as I figured she would be feeling better by then. What I didn't count on was catching it myself. It looks as if mister may have caught it too.<br />
<br />
So while there is this strong part of me that wants to clean the carpets before I meet with the board for Habitat for Humanity (the people who are deciding part of my future) I am struggling to stand up without falling over.<br />
<br />
Sorry habitat people, the walls won't be freshly washed and laundry will probably not be all done. I'm sure my home will look lived in by 2 kids and 2 dogs, I hope you understand.shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-38592446116266063532012-05-11T19:57:00.001-07:002012-05-15T16:01:44.669-07:00Short Listed!When I called requesting information about Habitat for Humanity I learned I had just missed the information session by 2 days. I was given an application form and told to have it in for last Saturday noon the latest. I had a week and a half to do it all and I had it in last Friday. I had noticed that the paperwork said to have it in for the 12th but I wanted it in as quickly as I could.<br />
<br />
I figured that perhaps I wouldn't hear from anyone for a couple weeks while all applications were being reviewed. Wow what a shock to check my voice mail tonight and hear Betty Ann's voice letting me know I have been short listed!<br />
<br />
The next step is an interview with board members of Habitat for Humanity. That will be taking place Monday evening at 7:00. Looks like these people are organized and don't waste time. I appreciate that, working with a non profit myself I know how slowly some things can move. <br />
<br />
I have no idea what to expect at this next interview. Perhaps they will request more supporting documentation, or just try to get a sense of who I am and see if I understand the requirements of this partnership. I am most looking forward to having my questions answered and try to understand more about this process.<br />
<br />
I'll be writing more about it as soon as I can!shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-30567600106732015642012-05-05T18:38:00.001-07:002012-05-05T18:38:44.456-07:00Plus OneFirst I need to say this is not my idea. I read about this last week after seeing a twitter link, but I can't remember where it was from now.<br />
<br />
The article I read was from a mom who was looking for ways with her family to impact their community. What was born from that was the plus one concept.<br />
<br />
I wasn't thinking about it when I went to the grocery store today, I just looked at the man sitting on the ground and asked if he needed anything. He looked at me with a funny look and laughing said Ya I need a lot of things! I just smiled and asked if he would be around for awhile and told him I would bring him something.<br />
<br />
I did my shopping and before I went to the checkout I stopped and picked out a hot meal for him and some juice.<br />
<br />
It was after I gave him the meal and was on my way I remembered plus one. Every time you go grocery shopping or out for coffee buy for one more. God will put the plus one in your path. It gives opportunity to show Gods love and compassion to someone who really needs it. <br />
<br />
I am the first to say I really don't believe in giving out money because that can end up just going to feed an addiction. On the same note though if you were starving and struggling with other issues you can't focus on how to get off the street if your only thoughts are about how you will survive. <br />
<br />
So stranger at the grocery store I hope you enjoyed your ribs and salad. I pray that you will find your way and that God will richly bless you, and draw you near to Him.<br />

I did it. I dropped off my application for Habitat for Humanity.<br />
<br />
I feel kind of sick to my stomach now and my knees are weak. I have no control over what will happen next. I put the application in a binder and created a title page. Each piece of paper was in a protective sheet, and I had notes throughout going into detail about anything that may bring up a question. I did everything I could to attempt to make my application stand out. I was as thorough and straight forward as I could be.<br />
<br />
I feel exposed. And vulnerable.<br />
<br />
I have invested time energy and hope into this. The time and energy not a big deal. The hope of a home, of a brighter future for my kids, of attaining a goal of home ownership while still serving in a non profit organization, that, that is a very big deal.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The application was just the beginning. Some people are weeded out at this point. If you get through this then there is the first screening, more people are weeded out. After that is the first interview, more weeding. Then comes the credit check and income verification. I`m a little nervous here because while for the past 5 years especially I have been very good about finances, this was not always true of me. There is more weeding here. After that is a home visit and more weeding. Then the reference and police checks for more weeding and finally the families are selected.</blockquote>
<br />
While it helps to know what the process looks like I don`t know how long this takes. Will this be over weeks months or longer. There is this sense of having your whole life hanging by someone else's decision and I don`t know the direction it is going to take.<br />
<br />
When I picked up the application I was excited. Just to have this opportunity is absolutely amazing! Filling it out was fine I had most of the required documents at home and only needed to track down a way to get a rent receipt.<br />
<br />
Handing it in though.... it was a loss of control. I need to just trust that God has a plan here and come to terms that it may not be His will for me to go this route. I hope it is but right now it`s time for me to just have faith that God knows what He is doing and He is in control.shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-15426772190113638432012-05-04T08:59:00.001-07:002012-05-15T16:02:25.941-07:00ReStore Sale!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Who is it really for and how do you apply?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp2lvJztPyn-twryjFpxV7M2E5tDRPJ6OxWuCXTMXlMQSSaTO4qXGFxSOsz7D9UOj0s4MC02hoJrhU27i5JWUAhyCz4mI7qIAg8WXKF3Kgs72UJDI_u7P8BoLW4BrGiEo3e5kVzstT0FE/s1600/layHeaderPhoto.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp2lvJztPyn-twryjFpxV7M2E5tDRPJ6OxWuCXTMXlMQSSaTO4qXGFxSOsz7D9UOj0s4MC02hoJrhU27i5JWUAhyCz4mI7qIAg8WXKF3Kgs72UJDI_u7P8BoLW4BrGiEo3e5kVzstT0FE/s400/layHeaderPhoto.png" width="400" /></a></div>
I found myself asking these questions, and I'm glad I did. <br />
<br />
Maybe I should back track a bit first and tell you more about where I live now and why I am interested in Habitat for Humanity. I currently live in a 3 bedroom townhouse that well has seen better days in a neighborhood that is known as one of the worst in Canada. I work for a non profit company and get wages that reflect that. I'm not complaining, in fact I am right where I feel that I am meant to be. It's just that costs for housing are steadily on the rise with everything else and I would much prefer to raise Mister and Lil Miss somewhere that pushers and prostitutes weren't hanging around. Crazy notion I know. Now if I wasn't shoeless (single) and actually had a double income I could afford to go out and get a mortgage but as it stands alone I can't afford a 400000+ mortgage.<br />
<br />
Enter Habitat for Humanity. This fabulous organization partners with families like mine and helps put home ownership within reach.<br />
<br />
Right now there are (approximate) 10 families applying for 1 house to be built here in my home town. I picked up an application last week and thought I would share the process with you as I am going through it.<br />
<br />
The criteria for applying in the upper Fraser valley area include need, ability to pay a mortgage, and sweat equity. Need covers a few things. So first there is looking at if a family has enough rooms, proper plumbing, what kind of neighborhood they live in etc. yes this is for lower income families but there must be a demonstrated ability to pay an interest free mortgage on the home. I was told the income for this region is between 35000-52000 per year. They want home ownership to be a blessing not a burden, so looking at money is a huge priority here, you can't be shy about it. Sweat equity is the term Habitat for Humanity has for volunteer hours. It's really about making sure the partner family has buy in on the project and it helps carry the projects ahead. Well and really how cool to say you hped build your house and why wouldn't you want to help an organization that has made giving your family a home a reality. UFV Habitat for Humanity does require 500 hours of sweat equity from the partner family so if you aren't committed this isn't for you.<br />
<br />
The application form is quite in-depth, it felt like I was just bearing all for a committee of strangers. It asks about where you have lived, where you are living now, work history, T4's and all financial information. You need documentation for everything too even copies of your birth certificate to prove your a Canadian. <br />
<br />
I struggled the most trying to get a rent receipt. I picked the application up 1 week ago and had it all done except for that. I did get my bank to send me copies of the rent cheques to add to the paperwork. I also wasn't shy about including pictures of my current home things like my fence that is falling over that was supposed to be replaced a year ago. Pictures of the flooring that is pealing up or the carport off of its foundation.<br />
<br />
I don't know how long it will take before I find out if I remain in the running for this amazing opportunity but what I plan to do is keep writing about this. With any luck someone will find this that could use this information for themselves.shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-87337761716728767322011-07-24T21:51:00.000-07:002011-07-24T21:54:33.873-07:00Norway, Place My People Came From<br />
<pre>Thursday night I watched The Shipping News and that night a line stood out for me</pre>
<pre></pre>
<blockquote>
What place on earth could be<br />
better than...<br />
the place your people<br />
came from?</blockquote>
<pre></pre>
<pre>I was born and raised here in BC Canada. My mother and her mother were born here, her mother before her was from England but any family ties there have long since passed. My Grandpa however was born and raised in Norway, on a small farm on Dalsfjord.</pre>
<pre></pre>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFE3UxkNzgI_pZG-CdsdhXGLYgZTOFesjCQsgS0LfSFpaLtnfr5l9z3XqiRmjLrZ-2gjkNinJe0dMN8yDYLPTUn5UIAka2ByvpMWgNLLEmxExwazYYPn_qWrFWV4FA-eLANyn4Hjms98/s1600/dalsfjord" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFE3UxkNzgI_pZG-CdsdhXGLYgZTOFesjCQsgS0LfSFpaLtnfr5l9z3XqiRmjLrZ-2gjkNinJe0dMN8yDYLPTUn5UIAka2ByvpMWgNLLEmxExwazYYPn_qWrFWV4FA-eLANyn4Hjms98/s1600/dalsfjord" /></a></div>
<pre>My mom and grandpa just spent 3 weeks in Norway spending time </pre>
<pre>with family and seeing the country. We still have ties there, </pre>
<pre>growing up my taunta Ingaborg came and stayed with us and </pre>
<pre>through the years I have had the pleasure of meeting different relatives from this country around the world.</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>We grew up hearing stories that continue to live on in this </pre>
<pre>country which I can't help but imagine as a slower place to </pre>
<pre>live. Like the story of Bjorn Fjell (his real name btw </pre>
<pre>translates in English to Bear Mountain) Bjorn and his wife lived on the mountain near my family's farm and one very stormy day he and his dog went to the prayer house (this was before the church was built) and </pre>
<pre>not wanting to leave his dog in the storm brought him in to sit by the door. Someone else in the prayer house told Bjorn "You can't bring him (the dog) in here! To which Bjorn responded "That's OK he doesn't mind" The year was about 1850. Bjorn and his </pre>
<pre>wife never had children so they had no one to pass the farm onto. The foundation of </pre>
<pre>the house is still there but the land stands vacant.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre></pre>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<pre>One of my favorites though is that of my great </pre>
<pre>great grandmother. She married a man 20 years her </pre>
<pre>senior and when he passed on she married a man 20 </pre>
<pre>years her junior. He apparently doted on her and </pre>
<pre>was very much in love with her. My mom was telling me that her aunt said now that is the way to do it!</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>So here is this country that I have never set foot on, whose beauty I only know of through pictures </pre>
<pre>and stories. But here is also a country that MY </pre>
<pre>people are from. I can't explain the connection I </pre>
<pre>feel to Norway because I'm not entirely sure it </pre>
<pre>makes sense.</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>Friday morning when I went to work my heart broke. I saw on twitter that there was a bombing in Oslo, Norway. The government building was bombed. This is the same building my mom and </pre>
<pre>grandpa had been in just a few weeks before... we had just watched the video of the </pre>
<pre>inside. My cousin Anna works just around the corner from here.</pre>

<pre></pre>
<pre>I couldn't understand what was happening. A terrorist attack? Why would anyone attack Norway? This peaceful country who take care of their own, where police officers </pre>
<pre>don't even carry guns.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>Reports of 1 fatality, then of 4... People were still trapped that number looked like it was going to rise.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>Then I really felt sick. Another attack, but this time on a youth camp. Kids being </pre>
<pre>shot at point blank range. A police officer? This made no sense.... Police in Norway don't carry guns.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>By the end of my work day I heard that 7 had died at the bombing and 9 - 10 at the </pre>
<pre>camp. My heart broke for this country where my people come from.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>I had read that a group called The Helpers of the Global Jihad had taken </pre>
<pre>responsibility but later learned that it was a Norwegian that committed this act of </pre>
<pre>terrorism.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>In the end it was politically motivated <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/25/world/europe/25breivik.html">Anders Behring Breivik</a> who was responsible </pre>
<pre>for the deaths of 93+ souls. The atrocities of this will forever change Noway, the </pre>

<pre>
</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was working from home Friday and was unhurt. </pre>
<pre>Thankfully a lot of people weren't there because it's summer vacation and because it was Friday and they left early for the weekend.</pre>

<pre></pre>
<pre>I will just leave this with these words. Norway, place where my people come from, you are forever in my heart. </pre>

I had an allergic reaction... a pretty bad one. It took about a month to recover and 4 different prescription medications.<br />
<br />
I have no idea what I reacted to. Was it something I ate? Was it something environmental? Was it a combination of things? I really don't know.<br />
<br />
It takes months to get in to see a specialist here. I have been on a waiting list since the beginning of March to see an allergist and have an appointment June 7. I tried to get the date moved up but apparently they only do that for cardiology patients.<br />
<br />
In the mean time I have been trying to figure out what I am reacting to on my own. This has included things like going on a rice diet and introducing foods again one at a time.<br />
<br />
One of the big things I found out? Gluten is so not my friend. Here's the thing, once you cut things out and try them again you really notice the reaction. What I found was if I eat breads I get bloated and feel like my head is in a cloud. I really find it impossible to focus on anything.<br />
<br />
It got to a point I was afraid to eat. I have actually uttered the words, "I'm giving up food." Constantly feeling sick and dealing with my throat being itchy... it didn't feel worth it. Of course I can't really give up food, but I can pay attention to what is making me sick.<br />
<br />
My mom has a lot of food allergies. So many that I think the list of food she can eat is shorter than what she can't. Close to 20 years ago she had really extensive allergy testing and it showed she can't have red meat, dairy, gluten, carrots, corn and the list goes on. I hate to say it but my body seems to be following suit. I already know I can't eat red meats, gluten or corn.<br />
<br />
The thought of a drastic change in diet was really overwhelming to me. Aside from the cost, the thought of preparing two separate meals (one for me one for the kids) just seemed like too much! I remember trying my moms rice bread as a teenager and how dry it was, I didn't want to sacrifice the ease of toast or a sandwich. I can't possibly give up baking!<br />
<br />
Then today I went to the grocery store. I found a rice bread mix, and thought the $12.00 price tag could be worth it and decided to give it a try. (It seems 1 loaf of rice bread is about $5.00 so if I could get 3 loaves out of it it would pay for itself) I was skeptical I won't lie. But much to my surprise it was both easy to make and tasted just fine! It wasn't dry at all, and it didn't crumble all to pieces on me either!<br />
<br />
It gave me a sense that it is possible to go gluten free, and it's not going to be as hard as it was for my mother 19 years ago. Not only are there more products available now but there are even support groups like celiac.com<br />
<br />
I can't actually give up all glutens just yet because it seems you need to be eating it in order to test for <a href="http://www.celiac.com/">Celiac </a>or Gluten Intolerance. At least I have hope now that it can be doneshoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-67349366806843216792011-06-04T00:21:00.000-07:002011-06-04T00:21:38.994-07:00To Heck With DatingI'm sick of dating.<br />
<br />
There I said it.<br />
<br />
I'm not interested in another "friend". I have friends, what I am looking for is someone to spend my life with. So I'm thinking what I am really interested in is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_courtship">courting</a>.<br />
<br />
So what's the difference you may be asking. Well to put it in simplest terms it is dating with purpose. There is intention behind it.<br />
<br />
Take the time get to know <a href="http://shoelessmommy.blogspot.com/2010/11/lets-talk-cookies-shoes.html">the shoe</a> first, see where his priorities lay. See if our values and morals mesh, find out if he is able to offer what I am looking for. Spend time in Courtship building a relationship that would ultimately lead to marriage.<br />
<br />
What I want is a God honouring relationship. I want a man who I can spend time with reading the bible and in prayer. I believe a relationship built on solid ground is one that will last. I believe it is important to be equally yolked.<br />
<br />
I will be the first to admit I have tried relationships where there were fundamental differences in beliefs and I know they don't work. Not for me anyway.<br />
<br />
Now the difficulty is finding a man on the same page as me.<br />
<br />
Truth be told Cookie is still lurking in the background. I know he will be reading this and I'm sure this post will come as a surprise to him. Here I am putting myself out there on-line and haven't talked to him about any of this. Well there are lots of conversations that probably need to take place there still. I think he's a pretty special guy though and will be OK with that.<br />
<br />
What I need to remember in all of this is that ultimately God is in control and the timing is all His. My sneakers are out there somewhere.shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-83075033508311237972011-06-03T22:23:00.000-07:002011-06-03T22:23:58.268-07:00Singles, Marrieds, & CrocksIs it OK for singles to hang out with members of the opposite sex that are married?<br />
<br />
Chances are as soon as you read that you answered automatically. It's not a question you had to think about. What surprises me is that there are a lot of people that don't answer that the same way I do.<br />
<br />
To me, it is a matter of integrity. I don't allow (or try not to) put myself in situations that could be deemed in any other light other than what is intended. So it also means that I don't spend time with a married man without his wife present. Does it mean I don't have friends that are married and men? No. It means I choose not to spend time with them alone, or have intimate heart to heart conversations with them without their wife present.<br />
<br />
There are lines, and while very fine it's important not to cross them. Why would I want to put myself in a situation where even if there was nothing to hide people around me started to wonder. Why would I open myself up to being "the other woman" even if only on an emotional level.<br />
<br />
This is somewhat a controversial blog post for me. If you have been one of my readers you will notice that I haven't written anything for a number of months. This blog was supposed to be for fun and to talk about dating as a single mom. While I really didn't have any trouble writing about shoes (<a href="http://shoelessmommy.blogspot.com/2010/11/lets-talk-cookies-shoes.html">men are like shoes</a>) when it was nothing serious, I didn't really want to write about someone I really cared about. (Well and when I know the shoes are reading it's a little weird)<br />
<br />
So hear is where I introduce you to Crocks.<br />
<br />
Crocks and I had mutual friends for something like 15 years. He had dated a friend back then and went on to marry another lady have 2 kids and is now divorced. Crocks and I met this year for the first time and hit it off right away. There were sparks and lots of gooey feelings. Certainly more than I would like to admit.<br />
<br />
Problem #1 - Mutual friends.<br />
<br />
Gossip and opinions ran rampant. Hurtful things were said about both of us. Friendships ended.<br />
<br />
Problem #2 - Married Friends & Boundaries<br />
<br />
This was really the big one. Well for me anyway. Remember I said he dated a friend of mine many years ago? Well she is married with kids now and does not share my view on appropriate boundaries in marriage and neither did Crocks. Worse yet she had feelings for him and let him know. Crocks knowing this still encouraged a friendship with her that was wholly inappropriate. For her this was an emotional affair. When he should have been encouraging her to turn to her husband he encouraged her to spend time alone with him.<br />
<br />
Can you see where this ended up?<br />
<br />
Well not that the entire situation is ended just any involvement on my part is. There was heartbreak and confusion and again friends lost.<br />
<br />
I wasn't going to write about it at all but now that there has been some distance from the situation I decided to talk about it. I learned a very valuable lesson in this. It is important to make sure the person you are with shares your morals and values. Even more important is as the bible says to guard your heart. It's not wise to throw all caution to the wind in these matters. Slow down and ask questions get to know the person and where they stand on these issues.<br />
<br />
So now that you know my little story I will tell you. He is Crocks because while he was comfortable and seemed to offer support, really he was full of holes and had no grip <strike>on reality.</strike>shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-41221599276529004052011-06-01T22:31:00.000-07:002011-06-01T22:31:45.573-07:00Go Canucks Go<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEila7KOAgU14G9251739_9msMJQIxQnGreyJv8vtZh9zzg5vDVMZMRBDlFes9to9NuJErAYFPlhpDUqvrFlvRETXEDILUqR3F9bPCnJZPZq66kGuqpfDUGoBkoIK-iekFHXZcZS8OIQgas/s1600/canuck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEila7KOAgU14G9251739_9msMJQIxQnGreyJv8vtZh9zzg5vDVMZMRBDlFes9to9NuJErAYFPlhpDUqvrFlvRETXEDILUqR3F9bPCnJZPZq66kGuqpfDUGoBkoIK-iekFHXZcZS8OIQgas/s400/canuck.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>The Canucks scored!<div><br />
</div><div>Wow we are in the Stanley Cup finals! We just won the first game... It's like a dream really. We have hungered for this moment. The swells of hope from deep within each of us is now surfacing. After years and years of our hopes and dreams being dashed it really feels like it's already ours.</div><div><br />
</div><div>This past year Canadians have reclaimed this unofficial national sport, first at the winter Olympics and now with the Vancouver Canucks.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Who could forget that great moment at the Olympics in Vancouver as team Canada played Slovakia all the while the Canadian spectators chanting, "WE WANT USA!" and we did go on to play the States and take the gold.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Now here we are again, playing one of the original 6 NHL teams, the Boston Bruins. It feels like a wonderful dream. The energy is electric, I guess in that sense it feels like the Olympics, we believed we would own the podium and for the most part we did. We were alive and on top of the world, and still are. It is impossible to believe anything other than that we are already taking the cup home where it belongs.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I say where it belongs because it was originally from Lord Stanley - Governor General of Canada. He too had a love for the game. The last time Vancouver had the coveted Stanley cup was in 1915, back then we were known as the Vancouver Millionaires. Of course officially we didn't have an NHL at that time.</div><div><br />
</div><div>There have been years it was hard to be a Canucks fan, I'm not going to lie to you. Remember a few years ago when Vancouver went ahead and prematurely started planning the victory route for the Stanley cup? Or how about in game 7 against New York for the cup last time, when the puck deflected off the net and we all thought it went in? It cost us the game and really, it was down right embarrassing. Still through all the losses and all the jersey changes I have cheered our boys on, praying that the moment would come when we finally bring home our cup.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Don't mistake me for being a cocky Canadian here. I know it's going to be tough. Tonights game was really something, both goalies were amazing. (Love you Lou!) It's just that this is something we all want so badly it is impossible to believe for even a second that it could go any other way.</div><div><br />

</div><div>*side note* quick point of interest Canucks won first in 7 games, then in 6 games, then in 5 games. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Soooooo who is with me in saying we should take this one in 4 games? It's a great year for Hockey. (I know lots of fans want to take it in 5 so the Canucks can win it at home)</div>shoeless mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08040777175972273451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118475747197945261.post-26152317151045842432011-01-22T12:00:00.000-08:002011-01-22T12:00:03.882-08:00Falling In LoveHow do you explain faith?<br />

<br />
I've met a few guys this way and while I haven't met my sneakers this way my BFF did. She met him and like a week later they were engaged, and have spent everyday together since. That was 7 years ago.<br />
<br />
Most of us are not so lucky in love. Well at least I haven't been.<br />
<br />
The potential of on-line dating opened up a whole new world for us didn't it? It was a way to put yourself out there without really putting your self out there if you know what I mean. It's not like meeting new singles (ahem after a certain age) is so easy.<br />
<br />
We go to these sites in good faith trusting that the profiles we look at are other singles looking for the same thing we are, some sneakers. The reality is though this is not always the case. People lie. I know I said it and it's shocking isn't it! I know none of you would lie on a profile... would you?<br />
<br />
Well here you go just to prove how important it is to be careful the news has the face of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #343434; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Thomas James Newman </span>all over it. This 36 year old man goes on these sites to meet women, goes out with them a few times and then does stuff like STEAL THEIR CARS! Seriously? Ya what a pathetic bleepity bleep.<br />

Apparently he's not that smart because he actually uses his real name before taking off with his dates cars, laptops, or whatever it is he can get his hands on. It seems they are linking him to 6 different accounts of theft in the Vancouver area.<br />
<br />
So this is where I say be careful. Don't just take everything at face value, use your common sense, and if you don't have common sense follow these tips:<br />
