I love summer so much! my two favorite holidays are in the summertime!
1. my birthday
2. canada day!

woo hoo!

this past week has been pretty good, i must say! i've now been in winnipeg for 8 weeks. hard to imagine that all that time has gone by already! i'm 1/4 of the way through my internship!

Thursday night was my last night of having to babysit for addictions class! don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it a lot, and the kids were always a riot, but it was just another thing i had to do for the week! all the kids marina and i babysat are coming to vbs though, and they were all at the church picnic on sunday, so it's all good!

Friday was our bonfire night, were the kids burned all of their books. we had a good time playing at assiniboine park... iwas really tempted to go watch the cricket that was going on, but i refrained to build a bonfire, watch ultimate, and play touch the tree as well as red rover! i love doin stuff like that. especialy since i can now dress like youth again! huzzah for jeans and value village tshirts!!!!!!!

i didn't do much on saturday, but we had A WICKED hail storm come up out of nowhere. it was INSANITY. the streets were flooded!

sunday was the church picnic and sunday school graduation! it was so much fun! brett came for the day, and i got sunstroke. never again will i skip putting on sunscreen! I was deathly ill yesterday while trying to recover from it!

but to be nice, Shawna bought me a bottle of curry to cook with... i could have cried! me likey curry!

today is tuesday, the least eventful day on my schedule. so i'm filling it by going out for coffee with some youth! woo hoo! felicia and i also got our hands on the board room to make it into our office/drop in room for the summer, since sunday school ended last week! so we have some decorating to do! and couch buying to do!

this friday is watergames, and then on saturday and sunday is the grad camping trip. although the camping part may be tricky, since we can't camp at oak lake, because they cancelled our reservation because i wasn't willing to camp the whole weekend.... hey brothers... woudl you mind us setting up a campsite in your yard? PRETTY PLEASE???

anyway, enough whining. i am going for coffee with my buddy mollie

Peace out!

25. I fortunately have a very understanding and patient boyfriend, who keeps me sane in tough spots like this!
26. I have two nieces and two nephews, and one more on the way!

53. I need encouragement in my life
54. I don't miss going to high school even a little

76. Rain is the coolest thing ever
77. The best things in life aren't things.
78. My sister and I could probably spend a full week in the mall sans children and have a blast together. We'd probably stop by the Value Village on the way home after that week

81. I don't prioritize fixing my car ever.
82. I miss living in Brandon, mostly because of my church and Brett
83. If I could change one thing in my life, it would be to open my mouth when the Holy Spirit told me to tell someone about Jesus
84. I often feel like I'm not good with kids, but they seem to like me. I must be doing something right.

91. When I was in grade 7, I had the world's biggest crush on Todd Armstrong. It brings shame just to think about it these days.
92. I think I have a lot of vision
93. My brother Tyler was a pastor for a while, and my biggest fear in ministry is finding out that it's not for me, because it wasn't for him.
94. I look up to each of my siblings and wish I had the gifts that they have
95. If I am busy, I don't notice that I am hungry, and won't sleep unless I absolutely have to
96. I try so hard not to say hurtful things to people because of what people have said to me in the past
97. I got a speeding ticket earlier this month and felt terrible about it
98. I wish I could see my nonChristian friends come to know God, but it's an extremely scary thought. What's even scarier is that most of them don't believe what will happen when they die.
99. I don't like goodbyes, and bawled every time I had to leave Brett and go back to school for the first semester of my first year. I still cry sometimes.
100. Grace flows down and covers me

my mini update

it's been superbusy around here, so here's the reader's digest version!

yesterday, brett and i celebrated 2 years together! woo hoo!

happy 20th birthday to my best gal nicole! hopefully you're enjoying saskatoon and jordan!

JULY FIRST! becca and i are throwing our annual bash at oak lake! if you're in teh area, come on down to the lake at 3pm for food and fun! (bring your own meat, and either chips or a drink to share with the rest of the crew!)

I got my guitars back yesterday!!! WEEEEE!

anyway, youth starts in a couple of hours, so i need to get home and eat me some dinner!

Go Tec Voc!

Here is Kali's dance troup that danced at WSD's "take note". they were awesome!!!!

I forgot to tell you guys that we did a "love winnipeg" walk! we picked up over 50 bags of trash in our neighborhood! here's some pictures from the day!

My Internship: Week Five

New haircut, new attitude! Gloria cut my hair yesterday, and it looks phenominal!

Well, another busy week at Weston has gone by. Lots going on, I tell you! I'm very excited that Felicia is starting on for 8 weeks of the summer to help do VBS planning and youth! We're going to have so much fun!

Yeah, VBS starts July 25, it's going to be a blast! Our theme this year is 'make a joyful noise', and we're going to do it outside with campfires, tents, marshmallows! So much fun!

Youth on Friday night consisted of an attempt at bladderball that failed because of wind conditions, but then a nice round of 'flamingo football', where the guys had to play the whole time while holding one leg. The girls did prety good, but we had a lot of trouble tackling the guys, especially those who opted not to wear shirts.

I babysat for addictions class again on thursday, and we had six kids come. We played a bunch of games in the gym, and made tambourines out of paper plates. They're pretty well-behaved kids, so it was a good week!

It was a pretty standard week, I suppose. There's always lots to do, and it seems like you'll never finish, but you usually do, like an hour before you need to do it lol. The youth are so much fun to hang out with though. I'm quite enjoying that part.

On a personal note, Brett flew home from Calgary yesterday! So I saw him for a couple of hours after a confusing pick-up from the airport. I took him back to the church and he met a couple of people there, then we drove around for a bit, and we went back to the Perron's to hang with the girls, Rex and Vanessa. We had fun discussing sign language as well as Asizn cuisine lol.

So yeah... another week gone! It doesn't even feel like it, because time is flying here! Today is my day off, and I think I might give mr Joe Kendrick a call to see if he wants to hit a stars or somethin. This week the Perron's are takin off to Calgary for the weekend, so I get to fend for myself ;)

Anyway... have a nice week, all!
