Meeting Eliana Chase!

On Friday, Saj and I paid a visit to The Chases cause we wanted to meet the newest member of their family Eliana Chase. Our plan was just to stop by for a quick visit, but that of course didn't happen. We ended up staying for close to 3 hours - but it was so much fun! When we got to the house their she was all cute and tiny resting on Dad's chest. She looked like a doll. It was one of those moments where I was like "Chris - your a dad." It was so beautiful to see. Eliana is the definition of perfection. I loved her the moment I saw her. Then when I got to hold her in my arms - no words can describe the joy that I felt - especially for the Chases. I am so happy for the Chase family and the beautiful blessing that the Lord has blessed them with!

A Month of Beautiful Blessings!

So I just realized that I haven't blogged all month long. So here's the highlights (I also like to call it blessings).

March 3rd - my co-worker had her baby. Her water broke at work - and she was about 4.5 weeks early, but thankfully everything was fine with her and her beautiful daughter Tessa-Lynn!

March 14th - Rachel turns 1. I just love this sweet angel, and had a blast celebrating at her birthday party!

March 21st- Had a surprise baby shower/birthday for our girlfriend Christina. It's always so much fun to watch someone else's life get blessed!

March 25th - Our youth pastor and his beautiful wife finally had their baby today! Her name is Eliana. I can't wait to meet this precious new life that has entered the world!

Yes - I am surrounded by many people who are in that transitional stage of life, and its just so beautiful to watch. God is good and has blessed my dear friends greatly. Thank you Lord for your blessings. I just pray that you will continue to watch over them all as they continue to place their trust in you. God - you truly are amazing!

Tricia Needs!

So this is what happens when you google your name and the word "needs". Here are the first 10 things that come up in google search when I typed "Tricia Needs." It's kind of funny!

6.Tricia needs to take a bathroom break
7.Tricia needs BCANS family
8.Tricia needs to turn 6 more or gain 140 more Werewolf points to reach the next
level

10.Tricia needs to be consciously reminded that she needs to save

For you Joanna!

So I haven't been blogging lately. Not because I haven't wanted to, but because I forget too, than life gets busy, etc, etc. The month of January ended with me going to court to fight a traffic ticket (which I didn't win unfortunately - but the judge did take down the fine thankfully). Then the very next day on the last day of January, Saj and I got into a car accident. It was our first together as a couple. It was scary, but somehow I remained calmed. A sign for me that everything was going to be alright was that the accident took place in front of a church which Saj has sung at before up in Oshawa (King Street). Something about being in front of a church made me calm. And thankfully the taxi driver which we hit was alright as well. The passenger side was damaged on his vehicle and our car - not one scratch. The cab driver was also really nice to us, as was the police. So in a nutshell that's the update on my life for the month of January.

Happy when the weekend hits!!!!!

Its been a busy week.
Too many late nights, especially for my husband.
I can't wait for the weekend to hit!

Back to work - and not so bad!

Yesterday officially marked the first day back at work for everyone. I came in to work on Friday so that I could be one step ahead of the game and not be overwhelmed on Monday. I'm so glad I did that cause I'm caught up on pretty much everything. Friday was a good day to work because it was so quiet - although it did feel like a ghost town around campus.

Time away from work is really a good thing that we should all do. It gives us a chance to be refreshed and enter back into work with a fresh new perspective and joy. I loved reconnecting with my coworkers - one person even got engaged over the break and she was all aglow.

I feel like 2009 is going to be a great year for many. I look forward to seeing how this year continues to unfold!

Happy New Year!

Today is January 1st, 2009!
Today is the very beginning of a new year. I'm excited to see what this year will hold. I know of a lot of weddings happening this year, and babies being born - plus more to come I'm sure. Lets see how this year will unfold.

Happy New Year!
