Welcome

Welcome!

If you read my intro, I inadvertently forgot to mention I am not married to the beautiful BC Lion player in the photo! I am married to the love of my life. Tim and I celebrated 29 years of marriage on January 14, 2013. (Not in the same way at all, but I do love my BC Lions AND Vancouver Canucks!) :D

We have traveled far together...both literally and figuratively in all those years. We have lived in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and beautiful British Columbia (each province is beautiful, mind you!)

We have two beautiful healthy daughters who bring us great joy.

In October 1999, our happy little world fell apart when Tim was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. One week later (November), he had his thyroid removed and January to March 2000 saw him endure 34 external beam radiation treatments, along with a couple follow-up radioactive iodine treatments. 5 years later, we praise God he was declared cancer-free!

Over the past year, last summer especially, Tim noticed his energy plummeting. He was having a lot of joint pain, but being diabetic and a cancer survivor, he chalked it up to maybe arthritis coming on and old age. Grrr. He has always considered himself an old man. I am five and a half years younger and I can't stand that he thinks he is a senior citizen...well, now I guess he kind of is but he is too stubborn to ask for the discount at Denny's! :D

Last week, Tim had an angiogram and we thought it would be followed by angioplasty. Big surprise! Open heart surgery is the next chapter in our journey...our Journey into Heart Land.
