Back at School!

Yay! Back at school again, what a great thing. Today was our actual first day of classes and it was hard to go back. I had sightsinging and ear training first thing this morning and well let me tell you it is kinda tough after not doing it for the entire summer. 4 months! But I think it will be a good year for that. And I got to see my good friends Brianna and Amy today. I introduced them to my friends Lani and Bekah (whom amy and bri think are replacing them, but they aren't). And then we had Chapel worship team practice which was good. I am not singing this week, but I can't wait for chapel, i have missed it so much.

Last weekend I went to the Puyallup Fair and hung out with more friends, which was a good time. The rodeo was amazing! It was soooo good and there was a guy there doing the steer wrestling from Donalda, Alberta! They announced it, and it was in Washington! I was like wow, that is right by Stettler! It was exciting for me. So I took alot of pictures and then we walked around. And we didn't even see everything and we were walking around for like 3 hours or so. it is a huge fair! We saw the Muton Bustin. It is where little 5 or 6 year olds ride a sheep! It was sooooo cute! I told Justin that that is what my kids are going to do, they are all going to be little muton bustin babies! I loved it. And we saw some of the Clydesdale horses, they were so big and beautiful. I loved them too. It was so good to be in the country atmosphere, i loved everything about it, i had so much fun. But I was so tired when we came home! I was glad to leave! But then my friend Tom wants to go to a rodeo and he couldn't come this last weekend so I tried to find another rodeo that we could go to. And so I found one in Yakima, Washington which is like at least a 4 hour drive and so me, Tom, and my friend Lani are going there. She is from Washington so she knows where to go. lol. But that will be a fun time.

So yah, I've basically been hanging out and having fun, meeting lots of new people. I am very excited for retreat when I can meet more people. I am kinda nervous though because being inmy second year I have to lead worship, and I am really nervous that she is going to make me lead at the retreat and I really don't want to. i am not good at leading. So yah. But I know it will be a good time and i am very excited. it is this weekend the 14-16 just so you know. well, I think that about raps er up. Talk to you soon!

BC Finally!

So I am back in BC for good now. Well, not for good, but for a good while. Yay! This last weekend I went on "cruise" with Aja and the rest of the Student Works Painting people form western Canada. The cruise was really only on Friday evening we went around the different islands by Vancouver...it was nice. It was really pretty when the skyline was lit up at night when we pulled back into the harbor. On Friday during the day me and Aja went to Metrotown to go shopping. We rented a wheelchair so I didn't have to walk and it was a good time. On Saturday during the day everyone went to the beach and there was a beach volleyball tournament, but of course i couldn't play, so that was sad. But it was alright to just sit and chill (and I mean chill) on the beach. And in the evening we went out for a nice supper and just hung out with the different people. And on Sunday we had the whole day to do whatever so Aja and I went to the Vancouver Aquarium. Oh man...I love that place. the animals are so cute! Especially the sea otters! They weren't there the last time I went so it was good to see them...I love them! But now that is over and i am back in Surrey. Today i am just unpacking and Amy is coming in half an hour to help and to visit and I can't wait to see her. And then her and her mom and me are going out for supper! So needless to say i am so pumped to be back. I look forward to this year. It looks like i might be staying in dorms longer than i wanted, but i guess we will see what happens. I have a room to myself so that is really really nice! i have a lot of stuff so it is nice to spread itout and not have it crowded into just a little space.

But that is the update on me... stay tuned for more!
