worth 1000

well, the saying is, "a picture's worth a thousand words", so this should keep you busy for a while. These are pics from about mid-may that i've been intending to put up here forever!



This film strip is from Greig Ave's house cooling/ Mels' birthday/ Kristie's Bon Voyage/ "we need to have a really big party" party. There were stacks of people there and we hawaained it up in an awesome way. I even made a new south african friend. Yay for meeting random people on the street!

These pics are from "Roomie supper". We all went out toMontana's for supper, and i dared Kristie and Karla to kiss the moose. Long and short of it is, desert won out over public humiliation and the moose has a better day than he's had for a while. haha.

Mel, Andrea and I decided to go shopping one beautiful Thursday. Shopping turned into picnic in the park, which in turn became posing like statues on top of the fountain. I think we amused the people around us, we definately got some applause ;)

catching up with carie

Oh my goodness, how is it June 16th already???? Where has time gone. As Jill adroitly pointed out tonight, a month ago i said "Sorry.. have to run... call you in 4 hours" and 4 weeks and 4 hours later... uggg. Sorry Jill. Its not that life got that much crazier, it just got that much simpler because i stopped doing fundamental things like Blogging and phoning people i love. So giant appology to everybody who once read this blog and has now moved on to greener (and more prolific) pastures.

So where to begin. I have now quit the Dub. Yup 5 weeks was just about it for me. I got awesome news in that i'm stationed in Rosthern for my internship, so only 45 mins away. AND i only have to start school on the 25th, which meant that i could take the full time job with Boys and Girls Clubs. We're doing day camps out at Pike Lake. I'm STOKED. Now the big question is whether or not to move out to Rosthern in the fall. I'm strongly leaning towards doing it, but Julia has invited me to live with her in September, which i'm also pretty tempted to do.. only move once again?? instead of 3 (YUP THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!) times in 7 months is hard to pass up. My teachers in Rosthern seem very nice... they have as much desire to do school work in the summer as i do, so i think i'll end up doing most of my planning and units in the fall when we get back, which suits me just fine.

BIG NEWS! i'm going on the Journey missions trip to St Vincent and the Grenadines. Because i only have to be back for my missions trip on the 25th instead of the 15th, i get to go!!!!! http://www.svgtourism.com/ check out this site... we're going to Fountain, (near Kingstown) - where Brendon is from. We're going to run a VBS and do some one on one young adult decipleship.
So that is very exciting. Got my passports and everything all lined up yesterday, should have it all back in 2 weeks. YAY!!!!

The wedding bug has bitten again. This is the line up for the summer: Susan and Jason (1st July) Daniel and Alisa (15th July), Jill and Dan (22th July), and Cory and Leisa sometime when i'm in St Vincent. Our Biblestudy group is going marraige CRAZY! haha. So i'm really glad to be home this summer for those weddings. God has worked things out so well. Cos technically, i should be at Keats right now if i had known my internship date. but then i'd be missing so much here. He is so good.

anyway - i'm having a really good catch up with carie type evening, so i'm going to go do some more of the things i've been intending to do for weeks.

blessings.
