Emotions

I've had an overwhelming couple of days. I was having some 'me time' earlier and just thinking about what I would post about. I've been really sad about my uncle, but I'm also encouraged. My family is coming together during a difficult time and grieving in a unique way. Some people don't want to talk about death, and sometimes the loved one just wants people not to talk about it, etc. But my uncle wants to reminisce, he wants to talk to everyone and share the memories. It makes me choke up even now. He's really a special man and I'm having a hard time dealing with the thought of losing him... I just love how we're coming together to remember him while he's still around. Besides, we will meet again.

It didn't help my mood that I was sick yesterday - all day - with a migraine. Then I felt throw-up sick. Not fun at all.



Then I think about the fact that my little sister is due to have a baby in 3 days. There will be a little one who will call my 'auntie'. How exciting is that??? I love my sister and her husband will be an amazing father. I just can't wait to meet baby Green. Plus Jericho will have a little cousin!!!

And my new friend Amanda is getting married on Sunday at a local mountain. I'm so happy for her and wish her and her man plenty of happy years together.






As for Jericho - he did film a commercial for WestJet on Wednesday. It was a long day, but Nate got to come too so it was more of a family day. We saw Baby Ciaran again (he's been in two other productions with J) and met Baby Kyler. One of the funniest moments was when his actor Mommy told us that her friend is going to name her unborn son Jericho as well.... and she had never met another Jericho before! The commercial starts with a close-up on a baby being sung to sleep and slowing falling to sleep. Do you know how hard it is to get a baby to fall asleep and stay asleep on demand? Jericho was the first choice for the spot, which just meant he got to go first - but as soon as he woke up, it was the next baby's turn. And so it went. But finally - Jericho was being filmed for about 4 minutes and did a perfect HUGE yawn... so more than likely he will end up in the final product. Have any of you seen the A & W commercial where the son and his wife show up and take out his parents to tell them they will be grandparents? They buy the new grandpa a "Grandpa" burger. Well, the son from that spot was playing the dad in the WestJet spot. We don't know when it will be playing, but it's kinda cool to have a little memento of what he was like as a 4 month old baby.

So, overall I've had some crappy days thinking about sad stuff, but some really cool things to look forward to as well. Thanks for listening... I don't always talk about me and how I'm feeling...and I didn't really delve a lot into it now - but thanks to you who are praying and thanks to my family for checking up on me.
