Last week was one of those up and down kind of weeks. I had something happen that made me feel really down, and then I had something happen that made me feel really excited. The excited portion of my week was when Ben and I found out that we have a new nephew weighing in at 8 lbs. 4 ounces: Alexander Wayne James Canney, whom we’ll be meeting tomorrow for the first time and whom you’ll soon see in pictures on this blog. That means I now have two nieces (Sheridan and Charisma - my cutie pies) along with my new nephew (whom I can hardly wait to get my hands on!). In another month I'll have a fourth child to be an Auntie too as my sister is pregnant!! I love being an aunt. The sad portion of my week is something I’d prefer to not go into, but let’s just say that the Lord is still teaching me and helping me to better understand some things.
This week I’m not sure what to expect – except for knowing that tomorrow I get to see my nephew, and I get to have my wisdom teeth surgically removed. I look forward to meeting my nephew more so than meeting my dental surgean. My brother and his wife Amanda are also leaving for Africa on a missions trip which I’m super excited about. He’s going to do dental work, and Amanda, who is a nurse, will assist the medical team that they are traveling with through World Hope.
One thing is for certain this week, that despite how I’m feeling, or what happens to me, God is in control and He can see the bigger picture.

crazy life
Okay, so I'm in the midst of giving my blog a make-over and trying to get back on the blogging track. It hasn't been easy. Life keeps throwing curve-balls at me. I haven't been able to schedule and write my finals because I've been busy substitute teaching, and when I'm not at work my evenings have been booked too. Another recent event, in which I will not go into detail, has resulted in me having to play the piano more at church which has resulted in something else to consume my thoughts and time. I'm also waiting to hear news of a new niece or nephew being born on the Canney side (Ben's brother Brad and his wife Colleen are now overdue with a blessing soon to make an appearance).
I've discovered that I enjoy being a Phys.Ed teacher. This past week I've substitute taught for kindergarten and first grade Phys.Ed, and another week prior I taught Phys.Ed for the other grades. It's not something I'd most likely want to do everday, but there's something about having a whistle around my neck that makes me feel empowered! The funny thing is, I never really was much of an athlete!
Anyways, sorry for taking so long to get back to the blogging world. I look forward to seeing what everyone else has been doing while I've been in my own little crazy world.
