Blah, Blah, Blah, de de blah, de dee blah, blah blah……I know I need to update this page, but for now, just pretend that my kids aren’t like 3 years younger than they are now and that there is a picture of Josiah in here, and that I don’t look like such a surprised cow………

Well, I’m leaving this up here for right now, so that there is SOMETHING here, but it’s SOOOOO old and I have to update, and I shall do this SOON, I promise. So go and get a good laugh at that crazy pic of me.

So, ABOUT ME………..????

I live in Beautiful British Columbia close to the wonderful and exciting city of Vancouver. I was born and raised here. In my entire life, the farthest I’ve moved from the house I was born in, is to my current home ’bout an hour away. I was born on September 18th, 1975. So, that makes me 30 this year! Yup, the big 3-0! Although, I have to say I really don’t feel that much different than I did 10 years ago…….Physically - I definitely look different than I did 10 years ago - 3 kids’ll do that to ya! Let’s hear it for the “sag!” I got married 10 years ago on July 8, 1995 to my best friend.

I met Jon when he was 16, and I was 14. Love at first sight????? Definitely not! I carded him when he told me he could drive. Didn’t believe him at all. Couldn’t stand him for the first 2 years that we were friends(I use the term “friends” loosly - He was dating my younger sister. I know, YUCK!) When my sister dumped him, we became friends - still no sparks - and I coached him through another realationship with another friend of mine. He was a nice guy, but not really my type! I kinda thought he was lacking a little in the looks department. How shallow could I be?

Now, I have the hottest looking husband, the nicest guy in the world, and the greatest father in the world all rolled into one. Aren’t I lucky? No, He’s not perfect, but the fact that I think he’s pretty close even after 10 years of marriage has to say something for the guy. Seriously, He’s pretty amazing!

We started dating, got engaged and got married all within a 6 month time frame! and NO! Our first child came along 2 years after we were married! We had Geli on April 4th, 1997, and Xandra on June 30th, 1998. Jeremy came along on December 7th, 2000!

Along the way, we’ve worked in credit and collections, for a cell phone company, a long distance company, worked with the movie industry doing two-way radios, with 2 different uniform companies, as youth pastors for a inner-city church, led worship, done sound, done pyrotechnics, worked in the biometric industry, and now are starting a technical service company called JC TECH SERVICES.

Along with the rest of the world, we’ve had our shares of up and downs. The biggest and most earth shattering was the loss of our son Nathaniel Mark Culley. He died and was born on January 24th, 2005. To lose something so precious makes you realize just how important every moment of every day is. Cherish every moment you have with those that you love. Live your life so you’ll have no regrets!

I struggle with my weight, and battle insecurities and fear on a daily basis. I’ve also fought off depression without sinking into a huge hole. I’m a little anal(okay maybe a lot) about organizing and planning and stuff(Thanks a lot, Grandma Kennedy! I hope you’re looking down and smiling from heaven.) I’m not exactly enthusiastic about house cleaning, although I try to get it done.

I’m proud to say that I’m better mentally, emotionally, and spiritually than I was 5 years ago and that’s encouraging!

I love my kids and my husband. I can’t belive that they are getting so old - my kids, not my husband! Geli is 8, and Xandra is 7 and Jeremy will be 5 in December 2005.

My life has not always gone as I’d like it have gone, but I am learning that I can’t always control what’s going to happen. Sometimes, you have to learn how to be flexible. Not so easy for an anal, control freak!!

Having said all of that…………,

This is my place to say what I want, and while I’m thrilled that you are reading this…..I just want you to understand that you may not like or appreciate or understand everything that I have to say. AND, I’m okay with that! These are my thoughts, and I am free to share them however I want.
