House of Dreams

Oh lovely house. What a gift you were to me. You were most certainly meant to be ours, even just for a little while and you were our home, so loved and cherished. Never to be forgotten. I'm just sorry that I couldn't uplift you and take you with us, but you belong right where you are, perfectly at home on our lake, all windows facing to meet her for fun and adventure but walls within that tell stories of families, love and happiness. 

Girls Just Wanna have Fun

I was so lucky to meet so many amazing women in Halifax and be welcomed so wholeheartedly into their lives. There was something about the culture and the combination of personalities that generated the best ideas for having fun. I honestly don't think I've had so much fun or made so many girlfriends since high school. 

Unexpected Treasure

Canada afforded me so many incredible opportunities. Who can forget my lifelong dream to be Anne of Green Gables? Then there I found myself in Halifax, where Anne attends University and not to mention my three wonderful trips to Prince Edward Island it’self. There really was so many details to life there that were dreams come true. I've written about so many of them but there are a few left that I can’t leave unrecorded.

Quill's Blessing Day

It was lovely to have the blessing of our darling little boy in the Halifax Ward, where Levi and I have been so loved and supported through a difficult pregnancy and the weight of Levi's calling as Bishop. Halifax is a very special place. Quill was born here and blessed here, wearing the same outfit Finley wore for his blessing, surrounded by men we love and value. Levi had Rob Johnson, Josh Blakeney, Chad Quist, Mauro Decosta and Al Landingin in the circle with him and Quill was calm and quiet as Levi gave him a beautiful blessing from his Heavenly Father. It's something that I hope he treasures and I want him to know that as a tiny baby he was welcomed and loved by an entire ward.
