Weekend May 26-28th

Yay! It's the weekend again!

I don't really know why I get quite so excited....they pass by so quickly...but there you go!

It was the Cathedral Arts Festival on Sat.

We have gone every year since we have lived here!

There is a lot of free entertainment...and good food.....and stuff to buy....and lots of people to watch if you are into that.....(we are....)

Unfortunatly, it seems the weather is always against us! For three years straight, it has been cold and wet, and this year was no exception....

The one year it was hot....it was so hot that we all got sick!

However we went and we had fun anyways....

There were all kinds of booths with different things for sale....and buskers out to make a buck or two...

We ate East Indian food and watched some guys eating fire...talk about indigestion....

I think it took us about 4 hours to go through all the booths...and then the cold was too much for us, and we headed home....

but it was fun anyways....

and rain or shine, we will probably do it again next year!

Later around 6 PM, we headed off to the movies with a bunch of friends....

We went to see X-men 3!

I highly highly recommend it!

However, you should probably watch one and two first....(LOL)

We went back to Scott and Corie's afterwards and watched X-Men 2...

Maybe this weekend...we will watch the first one!

Sunday morning was church as usual....except that in the middle of the service my friend Brenda called...

They were stuck at Superstore with a dead battery....

So i took pity and rescued them in the midst of their plight....

I got to see my Mercy Buckets too!

Every time i see her she is bigger and cuter....

Sunday night we went to a dessert night at our church, in support of our friends Mike and Lynne who were here for Bible School, but are done and are now going back to Surrey to work in their Metro Kids ministry.

and then went over to Paul and Tammy's and blasted the crap out of everything on x-box!

Actually everyone else blasted stuff.

I died.

Miserably...

Over and over again.

That was our weekend.....

and now it is back to work.....

Hope your all having a good week!

Love Robyn!

Hayy,

My last couple of weeks since I last wrote have been pretty hard not only for me but for my family. We have just recently lost our uncle Jermey who we all loved very much. When I first found this out I didint even know what to say or do at first i didnt even cry i just went down stairs and watched tv as though nothing had happened but later i had relized that i had lost one of the closest people in my life the only thing that i was very happy about was that he was in a better place and that he no longer had to live in pain and knowing he was very soon going to die. And also i am happy that he knew god so one of these days i can see him again. But that is now passing over us but still we wont forget about him ever.Well other than that I have been pretty good I love our church and the friends I have there and I am Grauating this year from Grade 8 which I am also very happy about because i get to get dressed up all pretty... and I really want sing at the grad so if you could all pray that i win those try outs to sing O canada that would be great Oh yeah it was also just recently mothers day and my sister brandys birthday on the same day so i wish you guys a HaPpY BeLatEd BiRtHdAy aNd MoThErS DaY!!!! Love you guys lots but i think that i am going to take off buh bye!!

Love Bree Bear

I have been thinking alot about old times lately....

I guess that happens when you lose someone you love....

As many of you already know, our best friend Jeremy Nelson recently passed away after a long struggle with leukemia on May 4th/2006 at 4PM.....

He died the way he lived....walking in faith.....

He was at home surrounded by family and a few close friends, and was still making people laugh and praising God right up to the time when he became unconcious...

What a testimony...

I can only hope that when my time comes someday, I can face it with the same remarkable bravery and strength of character....

Things have been a little difficult on the friend front the last couple of years...

Shortly after we moved here, our friend Mike Lawry passed away. A couple of years previous after I had sang somewhere, he had said to me that when he died he wanted me to come and sing at his funeral.....I got mad at him for being morbid, but then two years later.....we were off to Williams Lake for his funeral.

Last year our friend Josh Wolbers died of a heart attack at age 30......We couldn't go to the funeral and that was hard.

Mike Young, a local pastor we cared about also died of leukemia....

and since we moved to Regina, there has also been people here....

It has made me think alot.

I now try to spend as much time as possible with my family and friends...and to heck with things like housework...(and you should see my house somedays....

I have never been good at letting people know how i feel, but i am working on that....

The truth is that none of us know how long we have here...and we could be gone tomorrow...

The Bible says our lives are but a shadow....

and I don't want the people I care about to not know how I feel....or leave things unsaid.

I am also profoundly thankful that I will see the people who have gone on ahead of me again someday....

Jeremy my friend, We love you and miss you.....

Kendal, Robyn and girls....

"You are beautiful" "I have known you Always...." "Eternity" It strikes me like lightening It is like a thunderbolt To my senses: my heart. God Lord of the Heavens, Creator of the universe Loves ME unreservedly I am His. Music...... Color....... Surround me now... Like the glory of Heaven As beautiful as angels wings As delicate as gently falling snow. He thinks I am lovely. Worship... Flows from me like light Like insence, drifting upward And I praise him with all that I am. Tears Healing waters from my soul... He catches them in the palm of his hand Because I am precious to Him. Joy.... Light..... Robyn Jones / April 2006 Public - 10:39 AM - add eprops - add comments - edit it - email it Monday, May 15, 2006 Frusterated.... I apologize profusely for the lack of communication in the past few weeks.... I haven't forgotten you, but our best friend passed away from leukemia and so we drove from Saskatchewan to Vancouver. We were only gone for a few days, but since then, i have had a hard time processing what i feel..... and so i haven't written. Also, i accidently errased my pics off of xanga...which was kind of dumb...and since i only have basic service...it won't let me add any more. I haven't decided what i will do about that yet. I will write soon though.... P.S. for those of you who knew and loved Jeremy....or if you just want to check it out...we will be keeping his blog alive as a tribute to his faith, and eventually probably adding other stories of faith to it....There will also be pics. jeremyleenelson.blogspot.com Love Robyn!
