O.K. I know it's painful to look up a blog over and over and not see any movement but just in case there is someone that stumbles upon this poor wreck of a blog, here goes.
Gab and I have a new son and we love him and are going to keep him! His name is Indiana Gibson Thiessen, He weighed in at 9lbs. 14 oz. and was 22 and 1/4 inches long. Gabrielle did NOT have a c-section, even though with that weight and Gab's body type you might have thought she would need one. I think he's going to like working on cars and playing lego but it's a bit of a stretch to actually try to pull that kind of info out of him at this time. if ya'll want to see pictures of him you can wait till I post some or check out Karen's blog at bluegrasscanucks.blogspot.com Thanks for checking in and if you happened to stumble here, well don't expect a constant update pattern. We don't gots those. Blessings, Alex.

Hello all the peoples,
I say to myself, "welcome back to blogging". "Thank you", I say to the real me.
So anyways, things are going great, Gab and I are happy and healthy, lovin' life and just kinda joyful in general.
I don't really have any particular topic to speak of but I thought I might as well blather, yes I said blather, 'bout some random thoughts as that's what I do best maybe sometimes.....I don't know....hmm... O.K.
Woo hoo! playin' cello again, I likes it. Gabs is playing in the conservatory orchestra and enjoying it by the by. I'm taking lessons, playing in orchestra and working with a chamber group this year. It's been stimulating working on so many different things. Besides Work and cello, I'm playing bass and cello in church services. I got my 650 Yamaha from Paul this last sunday and we are tweaking a few small problems with it.
Ya, so lots of different things going on.
I was thinking of Kate Moss today and wondering what it's like to have a common problem and yet having an uncommon number of people knowing about said problem speaking out about their opinions about it. Seems kinda weird. Even weirder is the way I see these things, "...shame, shame, but it figures eh? She's got lot's of money, lots of time, she hangs with bad influences...." You know, I think it's just way to easy to be all like hmph. Why isn't the first thing that crosses my mind, hmm that's to bad I hope she finds some truth and support through this time. Pray.
Well I can see clearly that everyone including me, thinks that in some way we each have all the answers..... Ridiculous. How the hell can I, a mortal, have all the answers to a world thats beyond what we can see, hear, feel... you get the picture, it's a physical yet very unknown system we have here. There is a lot going on that none can see.
Picture this... a world were every single individual's thoughts are audible or displayed through a visual system as they go through their day... creepy.
Kinda disgusting, at the same time we know of an entity that can see and hear all these things and what does he do? I have trouble believing this myself. He walks along-side us and seeks out every single opportunity to show us a little love and lavish us with some undeserved blessings.

again it's been so long that i hardly remember how to post. i doubt this is a come back to blogging, so don't get your hopes up i just have a little extra time today. so, here are the big changes in our lives since our last post in February. No.1 most exictedly, i have graduated! i am just as happy as can be. people have said to me they like me better when i'm out of school. so to that i say i will never go back to school again!!! i'm happy that i survived and even though i came out broken and wounded my God has healed me so much in just these two months i hardly remember myself.
No.2 i decided that at least for the summer i will only work one job. all through school i worked at least 3 jobs at a time and now i hardly work one, it's just so nice. now i mow the lawn obsessively, clean house all the time and welcome the opportunity to sit and talk to someone for two hours before doing my work.
No.3 alex no longer has an appendix. it's nice to know he'll never have to go through that again and it makes me wonder how long i'm going to keep mine. what could have been an unbearably stressful time turned into a time where i have felt the love and support of my friends like never before, and of course, God's provision.
No.4 Grandpa Martens has gone home to be with the Lord. the first time i met him he said to alex "how did you ever manage to get a girl so beautiful?" with that he stole my heart. he was a very cool man who loved and prayed for his family and had a heart for God. of course i'll miss his flatery but i'm so happy he is now in paradise.

Hi.....
Ya I know, I shouldn't even bother posting cause I know it's gonna be the whole..."they finally post and they don't even have anything interesting to say?!"...dealy, but hey, when have I ever given a rats cute little ears?
For all those out there with the patience to wait, I applaude yee (for the patience). For those not interested...... go make some LEGO.
Enough intro. I hope everyone is finding themeselves in good health and hope. I know I am. My life seems to me a combination of the best things in life and the best people in life. Lord God Almighty sure does bless his people. Regardless of how I spend my days in pursuit of different things every day, He's always the one standing there behind me with his arms open waiting for me to turn around when I've realised that I just walked into a pitch black cave containing two or three full grown dragons (these ones are hungry by the way) While whistling really, really loudly. Ah yes, he sure is great.
Just got home from a week of break in Saskatoon. Elle threw some pampered chef parties and I kept fairly busy getting some TV watching done amongst other activities like buying my wife cul (pronounced with an umlaut) boots and shirts.
My family, I love you all and miss you. Hope to see you all soon. LUCKY.....
Alex that guy from mini toga Can adhd a. (get it? ADHD?)

well don't we suck at keeping our blog going! if there is anybody who still reads this thing i would like to say hello, and happy new year. we had a pretty good christmas break. we went to calgary, had tons of fun with alex's family-everyone was there, kinda felt like old times, just a different house. we stayed in most of the time, which is fine by me as my patience for anything active is slipping. we did go to the hello kitty store, it was a special trip for my nieces, it was cute seeing what they bought with their money they earned at the fair. next we went to saskatoon. christmas with my dad one night, christmas with my mom the next, i guess that's how it has to be. i got to hang with my high school friends - they're a different sort and i do love them all. we had a gift exchange i got some paint samples, a board game and lamps with the oil leaking out of them. we watched the entire first season of 24 with my brother and sister. 9 hrs in one sitting and not once did i feel that there could be something better to fill my time. so there you go, christmas break

How Gabrielle Gonyou makes me feel.
Gabrielle is a girl that can take my breath away without even being in my presence. All I have to do is think of her and my heart begins to rush a little faster. This is to say that since I met her my heart has been beating at a higher tempo consistently. I don't believe any other human being could ever even come close to causing me the same amount of joy. Her efforts to make our life together better are unsurpassed and always place me in a state of awe. She is the ideal.
Alex
