Basement Cement has been Poured

I went to the house today for the first time since the Dedication Ceremony and found the cement had been poured along with many other items finished.

Thank you to Jean Boudreau and Everyone else whom was there working on these items. It looks Great!!

Dedication Ceremony

This was a Wonderful Ceremony Thank you to All!!!

I want to thank my close friends and Family whom attended this event.
Thank you to the Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors.
Thank you to all the News crews and others whom took the time to be there.


All the speeches where wonderful and the gifts where unexpected and will be very useful.

The Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity Saint John Region Inc. presented the children and I with a

Tool Box Which will be very useful in helping me maintain our home. Which is what Jean Boudreau and Habitat for Humanity has taught me.

Bible which is needed by every family. This will help me to raise my children as positive contributors to society and to teach them right from wrong, good from bad.

Bag with these items and this poem.

A penny - so you will never be broke in your new home.

Wine - so you will never be thirsty in your new home.

Bread - so you will never be hungry in your new home.

Candle - so you will always know the warmth of family and friends in your new home.

Thank you this means so much!

Atlantic Wall Board gave us a Turkey and a beautiful homemade cutting board. We will enjoy the turkey. The cutting board I am sure will last many life time. Thank you this is very thoughtful!

Another great gift we recieved from Don Connolly is a Homeowners Manual which I am certain will come in handy. Thank you so much!

I am going to try to find the news stories on this and post.

I am also trying to add the video of speeches and ceremony.

Thank you for sharing this special day with us!

We wish you all a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!

Getting ready for Christmas

Today after we got done at the dedication ceremony Heather Myers from Xerox came to help me with everything I had neglected to do for Christmas at my apt. We bought a tree, decorated it and brought up all the decorations from the storage closet and decorated for Christmas. In order to put the tree and decorations up we had to move some stuff around. We put all the boxes and some dressers in my daughters room to make room for Christmas, When we were finished it looked amazing. Thank you so much I couldn't have done it without you both. I had a ball doing it. The kids were so happy when they got home. They had a great time decorating the tree.

Not Long Now!!

I want to Thank everyone for taking your precious time 5 days before Christmas to spend helping us finish our home. It shows the kindness in peoples hearts this time of year. When everyone is trying to find the time to get all of their own stuff done to prepare for the big day.

My children and I are truly blessed to have had so many wonderful people be there for us through this journey.

Great Job on the Siding John and Paul!

Saint John the Baptist / King Edward School

Today the children teachers at Saint John the Baptist / King Edward School had their annual Christmas concert. It was a pleasure to attend this beautiful event.

The School was given a $100.00 Irving Gas Card and they wanted to sell tickets for this ticket at the door of the concert and have the proceeds donated to Habitat for Humanity Saint John.

For this fund raiser they were able to raise $152.00.

Thank you to Everyone at Saint John the Baptist / King Edward School.
Thank you to Everyone who helped with this fund raiser.
Thank you Sonya Nash for Making and Selling the tickets.
