Ok, so i really need to crack down on hmwk in a second, but first i just need to get some things off of my mind.  First of all, God is Great...no matter what happens, He is a good God who loves and cares for each and everyone of His children.  I am so thankful for that.  God is always there, through the good and the bad.  I was at chapel this morning and at first i just wasn't going to go and sleep through it cause facing the world today seemed hard when i woke up, but going to the worship chapel in the Landing, was amazing.  If you open yourself up to God and just let Him work in you, He can do amazing things and He just brings the love and comfort that is needed each day.  He gives the strength to carry on!!
Sooo, in other news...Congratulations Ashley and Matty!!!  Man, i love you guys and i'm so excited for your wedding!  I not only get to be a bridesmaid, but i get to be a bridesmaid in the Dominican Republic...i've never even been outside of North America before...i'm sooo excited, i cant wait!!  I get to see two of my favourite families...the MacLeods and the Grahams and spend a whole week with them!!  But since this is all happening at the end of March, i should probably get crackin down on that homework so that i dont fail this semester!! lol  But here's a little picture of where i am going to be staying in the Dominican...not bad eh?! lol  Beats the coldness of the good ol' Praire winters!

Anyways, i love you all and thanks for listening! 

I hate feeling frustrated and confused and i just needed a place to vent...i know that i havent written on here in forever, but tonight felt like a good night to make an entry.  I know that there's the whole No Regrets thing, but looking back on this past month, i realized that writing stuff down is never safe.  I've seen it do damage in the past and now the present...even if something is suppose to be private, it is never a secret after it's been written down...eventually someone will most likely find it...but the damage has been done, i just wish that there was something i could do about it....hopefully i'll learn my lesson this time...i'm mad at myself more than anybody, even tho people should never intrude on a person's life...but who are we, i know that nobody is perfect...i just get soo mad sometimes..i hate things stuck in my head, set on replay over and over again in my mind...thoughts, wishes and perhaps regrets.  You think that you're doing something good...or at least have good intentions, but it never turns out good, or at least in my experiences it normally doesnt.  Well, here i am writing stuff again...

Anyways, i'm having a pretty good time at home...not only did i get presents for this christmas, but i also got the surprise for next christmas too, which i cant wait because i'm going on a cruise in the caribbean!!  I'm so glad that Rhonda's coming with me tho...i dont know if i could last the whole time with just my family!  It's about time to get out of this continent!!  It's definitely something to look forward to!  I miss everyone from school...it sucks not having too many friends left at home after i havent lived here in 3 years.  But Ashley and Matt are coming home tonight...cant wait to see them!!!  I cant believe it has been a whole year...waay too long!  Well i could probably talk for hours...but i'd just put you all to sleep, lol..i'm just going to go and hopefully learn to ignore the replay of the past and look ahead at the hopes and dreams of the future...

So after a 4hrs plane ride i'm in London, Ontario...the birthplace of ME! lol  I havent been home in over 6 months...thats definitely a record for me.  Life's going good...it's good be off of work from IHOP for a week!!  I'm definitely missing the mountains and people of Kelowna, BC, but i'll be back soooon!  So, i've been home for a whole day and a half now and i've caught up with a lot of people..saw some family and my cute little cousins!!  I wish that it was easier to get together with some of my summit and briercrest friends who live in Ontario, but everyone's schedules are soo hard to work around...amanda, i really hope that we get to hang out!!  Kaisha...if you're reading this...send me an email sometime...let me know how things are going and if you're going back to school this coming year...i hope that you are, i miss you buddy!!!  Have tons of fun at camp Jo, you're gonna do an awesome job!!  Kris, tell the muskokas that i say hi, lol...have fun.  Anyways, i just thought i'd update you guys with my life...i'll be home soooooon rhonda, i love you babe!

Later!

OK...so it's been forever...school's over now, no more exams.  It's summertime (well i guess it has been for a few weeks now!)  But anyways, i'm living in British Columbia at Rhonda's house and Vange lives here too...it's so sweet.  We're all busy working most of the time, but we still have tons of fun and good laughs!  It's so gorgeous here..the mountains are so beautiful...they make it a little hard to learn how to drive a standard car, but there's nothing like staling on a huge hill, lol (not that i know the feeling, lol...opps.) 

Kaisha...i keep meaning to email you...so i'm in Kelowna obviously...we need to hang out soon!  I miss you buddy! 

I need to shout out to Karen Wellwood, my friend from the east coast who's getting married in a few days...i soo wish that i was there buddy...love you soo much and congratulations!!  Brent...you got yourself a good girl:)  Missing my Summit 9 friends...have fun times!

Life can be hard...confusing...Kris, i know what you mean about not having the passion sometimes for God...i'm praying for you, and i just ask that you guys can pray for me too...i just want to draw deeper and learn so much more and just glorify God so much...God's soo good and i'm just so thankful for everything that i have in my life, and the people who have been a part of it! 

Love you all...

MOD WEEK's finally here!  So, it's the middle of mod week...it's been a good resting time and also a time to get a bunch of my hmwk done!  I don't really want it to end cause that means that i'm going to have to do even more work.  So the craziest thing ever...my dad is visiting me tomorrow...although he said that he was going to visit me in october, and then november, and then february...march works too i guess!!  He's driving all the way from Calgary which is even more surprising...God's awesome and i just really hope that this can be a great experience for my dad, a bonding experience for us...i'm kinda nervous and excited (mixed emotions) and i really just want him to see an awesome Christian community and even ask questions about what i believe and really enjoy where i'm living (besides the beautiful flat lands of saskatchewan of course, lol)! 
This past week or so has been so much fun...ever since basketball ended...we've had so much time to do crazy things!  We dyed the guys hair, straightened it (and of course curled Jay's hair!), lots of movies, played bball for fun (too bad my knees kinda messed up tho) and just had so many good laughs!

I made some delicious chocolate chip muffins tonight...so good!  That was a productive homework day today Amanda...except for your little...i mean big break! lol  It was good times...you can demand me to eat a cupcake any day, but i still won't do your assignment!

Got to talk to some of my summit friends tonight...Rach and Myrielle...i miss you girls soo much!! it was good talking to you...i cant believe that Arkansas is soo soon, i'm excited for you guys!  Have fun in Florida this week Rach...Matt better treat you well!

Well i hope that everyone's having an awesome mod week!!  God Bless! 

Good luck Sleeping Beauty...you've almost made it to the end of your mod class!
