just an update

Well, here i am again, sitting at my computer when i defiantely should be grabbing my chance at sleep while allistair is down for the night, but i will wait a little longer for sleep and give you all an update.


As i mentioned in a post below, we were looking at a house we were going to buy. We went to look at it again a few weeks ago before making an offer and decided to ask one of the men from ntm to come along (he builds all hte houses at new tribes). After walking in and looking around he told us that he strongly suggest we wait and try to find a different place. I took his advice right away since i wasnt feeling 100% right about the house to begin with but julian had a bit harder time letting go of the idea. We found out a week later that it was a good thing we did wait because of waht happened with the bank.


As for the bank, we have paid off our 'debt' because we got a letter saying if we didnt pay it immediately, collections would be called on us! it was a pain to have to learn the lesson the hard way but i've moved on and feel it a blessing that we didnt loose more money, and no one got hurt!


Allistiar is doing great! hes learning so much, and turned 10 months last tuesday! hard to believe my baby will be 1 in less than 2 months! he seems to be cutting in another tooth so hes been pretty fussy lately, i just have to remember he wont be small forever! that seems to be the only thing that gets me through those days of nearly constant screaming! As for julian and i , we are doing really good. julain has the next 3 days off in a row so we are looking forward to getting some time together, and hanging out wiht some good friends for canada day!


If you could keep my sister and brother in law in your prayers that would be great! they are moving back here to durham (YAY!!!) this coming month which is SO exciting!! so hopefully everything goes smoothly!




ju and my day out together at the Bell Golf tournament..we came in last!


me and my goofball son!


hes almost too big for sink baths!! but he still loves them!

be careful who you trust!

Well, a few weeks ago i posted an add for my electric guitar on Kijiji for sale. I had a quick reply from someone who was very intersted in buying it from me, so after a week or 2 of writing back and forth, i was sent a money order cheque for 2500.00$ i was told to take out my money for the guiart and then i was asked to send the rest to anohter guy who was also buying something from this man so he would be paid. I thought it seemed a bit strange but i have never done anything like this so i didnt really think anything of it. I sent the money, and was awaiting someone to come pick up my guitar. I checked my online bank today only to find out that the cheque was fake and i now owe 2500$ to the bank to make up for the fake cheque! after many tears, julian and i went to the bank to see what was going on, and were told that there was nothing they could do, that we were just going to be out that money. We went all over to the bank that cashed the cheque for us and they also told us it was our fault and that we owed taht money back to the bank. All my accounts have been frozen and will continue to be until i pay this off. We still felt as if we were being just shoved aside so we called up julians mom who came down with us to my home-bank. we talked for a good long time to the manager who siad she will see waht they can do, but she really has no idea what will happen...i guess this is teaching me a good 'trust the lord' lesson but i gotta tell you, im not liking the way i have to learn it very much. we would REALLY appreciate your prayers through this whole ordeal...i always knew it would suck to be conned, just didnt realize the extent of it. thanks for your prayers though. We will let you know how it all turns out.
