And A Happy New Year

well Christmas has unfortunately been here, and has gone. Christmas went wickedly fast but when you really think about it we have so much to be thankful for. Did you have a nice bed to sleep on everynight? Did you have shelter that provided you with heat? did you open presents on December 25th? we have that to be thankful for, and so much more like Friends and Family. I loved the Christmas season this year to get to spend with you guys. I know I never really got into the "Christmas Spirit", but I did enjoy my Christmas break with you guys. So now begins another event, New Years eve, and New Years its self. This is litterally a new beginning for all of us, take advantage of this. Make the year 2007 be the best one of all, enjoy and be thankful for what you have, and are going to get this coming year.

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

(its coming...)

Christmas Is Almost Here!

I would say that im finally already for Christmas. I have made today officially my last day of going to school, so let the Holidays begin! Its been an awesome start getting to spend Christmas time with you guys, as well as Darrell. Hope that your Christmas Holidays are great

Merry Christmas Everyone!

BIG WEEKEND COMING UP!

Indeed there is another amazing weekend coming just ahead for me. On Friday, two great things will be going on. First and formost, as most of you know my brother is coming home for the Christmas season, and I can hardly wait for that. Its gonna be some more great times for me and him this holiday season no doubt. And then to top that day off and make it 100%, later that night, (again as you know), we will be spending our night at the Foremans for our youth group christmas party. I cant wait for that Friday! ..

then Saturday I guess I get a bit of a break as I will be doing absolutely nothing till Saturday night, and AGAIN, you should know what I am doing on Saturday night. (For you slow people, Ill be watching the LEAFS-Rangers game on Hockey Night In Canada!) .. So that will take up Saturday... OH YEAH!! I just remembered that I have a Christmas play practice on that day as well. Next after that will be another BIG DAY as I will be getting up outta bed nice and early for church, then going there for a bit. Then after that there will be some practice for the Christmas play that we are doing that is on Sunday night!! .. so this is a big weekend for me. I hope you guys have good weekend, I know I will!

Formal Was Fun!

Last night was yet another great night in my life. It was the Leo Hayes Christmas formal. Now I was looking forward to this event all week, but I never thought it would of been as fun as it was. This was my first dance that I have went to in high school, and because of the fun I had, it will not be the last. It was a incredable night though, and I had a hard time getting to sleep becuase of the fun I had.Now don't get me wrong, but the reason why I had so much fun may be because of the girl that I had to spend it with!

Christian Alexander Haines + Chelsey Lynn Palmer

That night was fun altogether, but after every great night we just continue to say the same thing. "Tonight was great, but there's still alot of great times yet to come!" And that is the truth.

Not A Good Start To The Week!

Well, it really sucks that at this time I would be at youth group with friends right now, but due to really crappy weather, I am here stuck in front of my computer updating my blog again! ... When I wake up on Monday mornings, the only thing that gets me up outta bed so fast is knowing that there is youth group that night. Well that wasnt so much the case today! but my oppinion is if the X is cancelled, school should be. I rest my case! ... (I Understand Dan lol) .. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE LEAFS AND HABS SATURDAY NIGHT!

UGH! I LOST!!!

Lily,Lori,Jill,Alex,Lisa,Brianne,Erin,Chelsey G,Chelsey P ... All you other losers who play that stupid game just LOST you losers! ... You Lost, You Lost Like Toronto!

COUNTDOWN!

I had to update my blog, so here it is! We are just days away from the LHHS Formal!

I So Hate Consequences - Spider-Man 2

Good song with good words here .. and a great movie too. I needed to update my blog, so Ive decided to put this little music video on. This song is great, its by Reliant-K and it is called I So Hate Consequences

Are You Ready?

Friday, Novemeber, 24th, 2006 it will be another game between the STU Tommies, and the UNB Varsity Reds. So far this year both teams have been playing a good season, unfortuntely STU has been playing the better one, but that will mean nothing when these two teams faceoff for the second time this year. The last game that these two Fredericton rivals played the STU Tommies ran away with a 3-1 win, but we all know that the only reason STU won that game is because I was in Prince Edward Island at the time. HOWEVER, on Friday night I will not be in PEI, I will be in the Aitken Center watching the game! The Tommies havn't beatin the V-Reds in the Aitken Center since February 28th 2002 when they won 3-2 in overtime. Going into this game, UNB's record against STU in AUS Mens hockey is 93 Wins 44 Loss 8 Ties ...

Who Will Win When The "Battle Of The Hill" Game 2 Live At the AUC!? (7:00)

Just Keeps Getting Better!

Today was a great day, you couldnt ask for a better start to a week really. I woke up this morning thinking right away, that I only have 4 days of school, then I have a 4 day weekend! I just kept thinking of the positives like what was going on this week. Youth Group, The hockey game Friday Night (STU vs UNB). Then the Leafs are on HNIC so I will get some time to spend with my Dad. When I came home from school, Dad told me that Darrell was coming home on December 16th, so now I am just counting the days down to that, I miss you BIG D! So now all I have to do is keep having some great days, and eventually December 16th will come, and I will have my whole family to spend another Christmas with. Im so pumped for it. Darrell, I know at about this time that you are very busy with all of your school work at MCC, so I, as well as our youth group and church, will continue to pray for you to be successful. I love you Bro, your the best brother a person could ever have, and I mean it. See you in 26 Days! I Love you!

Good Weekend Again, And More Good Times To Come!

This weekend was yet another great one. Not so much in the hockey world as the Leafs lost to the Devils Saturday night 2-1, they played well though! And the V-Reds done good I guess as they defeated Dalhousie Tigers, but lost to the STFX X-Men in OT. I think the leafs only lost because we never watched Hockey Night In Canada at the Gilberts home.

Put a side the hockey stuff, This weekend was good in general as I got to spend some time with Chelsey Palmer, so that was some pretty fun stuff if I do say so my self, and we are going to have some more fun coming up very soon right! (December 5th)

Coming up this weekend is Game 3 of STU vs UNB, This game is held at the Aitken University Center at 7:00 .. Dan, I think this should be made as a youth group event ** HINT HINT** That is if you are not busy, the game is on Friday November 24th. Its gonna be a good one, I hope!

Are You Really A Hockey Fan? (Seriously)

Why the frig do people hate the leafs? you know, it really does begin to make a person fiercly angry. The leafs are just like any other team in the NHL, there is absolutely NO reason to hate them. Are they a Canadian team? YES! they are, shouldnt you idiots be supporting them, like I mean we only have 6 Canadian Teams in the whole NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE. In the long run, you people should feel bad about the Toronto Maple Leafs and their organization. They have had it tough,they havnt won a cup in 40 long years. So why hate the leafs? Is it because of their fanbase, that its so much bigger then your favorite NHL clubs? Is it really the fact that you are jalous, and angry about the fact that every where you go, you will see Leafs fans, is it because when the leafs are playing in your favorite NHL teams rink you will hear "GO LEAFS GO"? I really dont understand why people HATE the leafs, its sick, it really is. Its rediculous, it really is. There is no need for hate in the NHL, we have all experienced an NHL LOCKOUT, you should be THANKFUL that we have hockey in our world again today. The only reason I can see that a person would hate another NHL club, is because 1a)They have a better Team OR 1b) They are just playing way to FRIGGIN GOOD! ... think about this, Are you really a hockey fan? If the word "Hate" comes into the hockey world, im sorry to tell you my friends, you are NOT a true hockey fan. I know im going to get some nasty comments because of that, but grow up, and think about it. Canada's national sport is hockey, prove it. Thankyou, that is all.

Just to let you know I tried to keep this as polite as I could, It wasnt easy, but I think this is kept in the "Rated G" area. (Lily,Lori)





GO LEAFS GO! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BOYS!!!

No Title

This past weekend was yet another great one. And yes, probably because it involved alot of hockey which is always good. Its also a good thing if your team wins. (TML 5 - 1 MTL) however, UNB lost to frigen Moncton 3-1, but thats ok, we will get them next time. Wish the weekend would of been longer so that I could of done a little bit more, but hey, it was a 3 day weekend, so I guess its time for another fun week of school! Im sure it wont be that bad, look on the bright side, there are only 3 days till Friday.
Have A Great Week Guys, Im sure we all will be talking!

Forgiveness

You are my King (Amazing love) By The Newsboys

Take a sheet of paper. On it write all the things for which you need to be forgiven. Write down things you’ve never asked God to forgive. Write down things you’ve asked God to forgive but which keep bugging your conscience anyway ... Now take that sheet of paper and tear it up. Into small, tiny little pieces. On a windy day, take the pieces, and throw them into the wind and watch the scatter and fly away. Littering I know isn’t the smartest thing to do, but this thing has a picture to it. The sins you wrote down are now gone. You couldn’t pick up the scattered pieces even if you wanted to. That’s the way God views our sins when you ask for his forgiveness. Scattered. Gone, "Forgiven". The bible explains Gods forgiveness to us in so many different ways. "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness if sin is proclaimed to you"(Acts 13:38). "As far as the East is from West, So far has he removed our transgressions from us"(Psalm 103:12). "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). When it comes to forgiving someone I know that it can be the toughest thing in the world. But really just think about it, Think about what Jesus done for us. In this video above it is called "Im Forgiven", take a moment to really focus on what is being said in this song by the Newsboys. As many of you know this song really touched my heart, and it will always be one of my most favorite songs. This song is the song that I came forward to, to give my life to Jesus, and confess him as my Lord and savior. It was the words in this song that really tell me this is for real, Im truly honored to be a part of the family of God. To summarize this post, what im saying is all that we have to do is ADMIT that we have sinned, and believe that he will forgive us, because he will regardless of how bad the sin is. "I love you, And God does too" .. Right Darrell!

Indescribable

Indescribable - Chris Tomlin

When you listen to that song above you really just need to stop and think. do you know what the word "Indescribable" means? well lets find out here. Definition 1 states this, "cannot be described . Definition 2 says "surpassing description ". Both of them translations were straight out of the webster online dictionary. When Chris Tomlin wrote this song, he could not of picked a better title then "Indescribable". As you listen to this song, just listen to the words and really take sometime to think about what is being said here. God can be explained in so many ways, he's so great,awesome,powerful,amazing and so much more. God is the reason why we are not living lifes that are just negative, God is the reason why we are where we are today in life. I've said it before and I will say it again, Im so happy to have the youth that we have, our relationships are so strong, were a team, and thats never going to change, and its all because of our indescribable God. One last time I just want to tell you to really focus on the words in this song . Praise God!!!

Leafs vs Habs (Game 3) Saturday Night!

This was game one of the year, the game was at the ACC in toronto. In this game, the first game of the year for these two, The habs won it as Kovalov won the game for the Leafs in shootout.

This was game two of this great Canadian Rivalry, it was one of the most intense shootouts that I have ever seen. So with the Habs winning game one in Toronto, and the Leafs winning game two in Montreal .. That just leads us to ask, who will win Game 3 of this 8 game divisional rivalry in Toronto, On Saturday Night?!!

Go Leafs Go!

This weekend is going to be another great one, as it is an action packed weekend of Hockey! All starting this Saturday night at Lily's house where we will be watching the Toronto Maple Leafs host the Montreal Canadiens. The past two games have went to shootout overtime, both resulting in a 5-4 win for each team. This is the 3rd game of this year for the Habs & Leafs so it should be a interesting one. Or should it? we cannot forget that our team captain (Mats Sundin) has suffered an injury to his elbow and will be out for a month! which really sucks. Heres hoping that the Leafs will keep up the good work with him out of the lineup, but if not, I must say I wouldn't be suprised.
UNB VREDS vs UDEM BLEU AIGLES
ALSO this weekend on Sunday night I will be going to the Aitken Centre where the UNB V-REDS will be hosting the UDEM Blue Angels at 7:00. I love the fact that we have no school the next day, so it will give me another day to get all my energy back after this weekend. GO REDS GO!!

Last but not least, this weekend is Remembrance day, Don't forget to take a moment just to have silence for the ones who fought and died for us in war. We live in a free country, but that's only because of the brave Canadian soldiers who fought their lifes, just to make sure that we would be safe and free. We thank them brave people, and we also thank God for giving us a free country, the best country in the world ... CANADA!

Tony Stewart!


YES!! Im loving this Nascar thing already, I mean, I just got into it this weekend, selected my favorite driver to be TONY STEWART, and look at this, the boy wins the race for me in Texas. This is amazing!! this is only the beginning of me, and Tony .. were going all the way!! GO STEWART GO!! ... now thats what Im talking about!

Goodbye Jack...

Today was the toughest day that I have experienced in a long time. My family had been talking about putting our dog down, so I really should of prepared myself better for it. I was shocked by the emotions I had to losing this dog, Ill be honest in saying that I really never paid much attention to him. In fact, when I did pay attention to him It would most likely be a "go lay down" or "get lost" comment, but after today Im questioning myself why? I really wasnt the way that I should of been to this poor dog, in the long run Im the biggest jerk in the world, and now im paying for it. Today as well as this week Jack is going to be on my mind, and im going to remember all the times Ive told him to go away, and it is going to bother me. If anything, today I learned a life lesson. 1) Treat every person as if your not going to see them again, icnore absolutely no one. 2) They say "You dont know what you have until its gone" .. well all I have to say about that is its SO true, so true.

I Love you Jack, Your forever in our families hearts as a dog, and a friend

It Just Cant Get Any Better Then This

Today I made the best decision that ive ever made in my life, and the best decision that I am going to ever make in my life. Today I was baptized into Jesus Christ and confessed him as my lord and savior. Im excited to see what God has planned for me in my life, I pray that I can be a possitive impact on alot of different people. I want to let more people know who God really is, and how we would be absolutely nothing without him, thats my mission as a Christian. I was so excited to see the churches attendence this week and how many people were there, that put a huge smile on my face. I pray that them same people will come back again next week to worship God. It was really an inspiration for me seeing all the people who came out to the baptizm and supported me, I enjoyed it. Im going to close by just commenting on how thankful to God I am to have the friends that I do have.Everyone of you have been a big inspiration on me. Dan, Lucas, Darrell, Lori, Lily, Chelsey Palmer, Chelsey Gilbert, Erin, Cathy, Pam, Janelle, Patty, Christy, Matthew, Lisa & Brianne Hill, Alex, Ashlee, Reuben, Kate G, Mckenzie and probably so much more, (I know I shouldnt of started the "name game", because I suck at it!) But getting to the main point, with Friends like these, its so incrediable, really, you couldnt ask for any better people. Life is good, Praise God!
