Word of wisdom for females

I got this sent to me in an e-mail and think that every girl on the face of the earth needs to listen to this because this is what we all deserve.


WAIT

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on. Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."

I just want to get better!!!!

So I'm getting pretty fed up with this sickness that I'm experiencing. I don't get why I'm not getting any better. I'm getting lots of rest, I'm taking lots of vitamins and other things like that, I'm garggling (if that's how you spell it) like every 2 seconds. I just don't get it. I just want to be able to breath normally and swallow normally and not feel like I'm about to cough up a lung every 5 minutes. I'm sick of it. It's actually starting to frustrate me a bit. I just want it to go away. I have no clue what I'm up to today. It's finally nice outside, so I might try and catch some sun. But I'm leaving now.Goodbye!

Meet The Fockers is FaBuLoUs!!

So this retarded sickness of mine keeps changing forms. At first I like had a flu and was cold and achy all over and just felt like crap. Then I went into like a strep throat kinda phase, and now I have some sort of a chest cough and my nose is stuffy. It's ridiculous. I'm doing everything in my power to get better as quickly as I can. I have worship practice tonight, which I'm really looking forward to, and I am hoping to be able to sing. So y'all could pray that whatever germs have taken residence in my body would quickly pack up and leave. I haven't done much this last week. I feel soooo very lazy. Last night I felt too under the weather to go to floor hockey, so I went and rented Meet The Fockers and watched it. I am a rather large fan of that movie. I seriously thought that it was great. I watched it again this morning. It is quite enjoyable. Now I'm just chillin on the computer for a bit before I go clean my room and the rest of teh house and then I plan on doing my nails, as that hasn't happened in a long time. So...off I go.

No title

Well this day hasn't been too eventful really. I went out for lunch to A & W with Svend and Kevin. That's the first real meal I've eaten in a few days. Now i'm pretty full. Probably good for the rest of the day. I came home and chilled on the computer for a bit and then watched 7th Heaven. Ya ya, I like to watch the old re-runs. So sue me. CSI comes on in about 50 minutes so I went upstairs and grabbed my Bible and I figure I'll do some catching up on my reading. So now, leave me alone so I can read.

Sick of being sick

Last night I went to Tanya Hildebrandt (not sure how to spell that) at the church with Kristen. I quiet enjoyed it. Even though I don't really know her at all I am still glad that I went. I hope that when I get married and have a shower that people that don't know me will come to it. ANyways, it was really fun. And Melissa said that I Can come to her wedding!!!! Like the reception and everything!!! Yay! That is soooo exciting. This means can stop trying to find someone to take me as their guest! SO ya, I am pretty pumped about that. Afterwards Kristen and I went back to her house and sat out on her front lawn and talked for a while about lots of things that girls like to talk about. (wink wink). Ha ha. And then Rhett came over and we chatted for a bit. Then we went over to Rhett's house and had a fire pit and roasted marshmallows. Yummy! THen Kristen and I drove quickly back to my house so I could change my clothes and grab Miss Congeniality 2 which we had rented. Then we headed back to Rhett's and watched it. Kristen fell asleep...of course. It's a great movie though. I do wish that this freaking sore throat of mine would go away. I hate being in pain every single time I swallow. You know, you never notice how often you swallow until it hurts when you do. Believe me, you swallow a lot more than you think. So today, I haven't really gotten around to doing much yet. I played tennis with Kevin on the X Box. Somehow he managed to beat me two matches in a row. Grrrrr. Then I went and had a nice hot shower. I always feel like when I'm in the shower that I'm gonna be healthy by the time my shower is done. I jsut feel like all the germs should be washing away and I won't be sick anymore. Of course, this has never ever happened. But I do wish that it would. Then I headed outside and watered the garden and plants for my mom and and now here I am. I am pretty hungry though. I haven't really eaten that much the last few days due to the agony I experience with each swallow. SO I think I may grab a bit to eat.

I hope I get a job

So I'm not really sure how this happened, but somehow I woke up this morning, absolutely motivated to go job hunting. S after I got muself up and ready and stuff, I printed off 8 resume's and heade on my way. Of course I am without vehicle, so my feet are my transportation. I stopped at the church and chatted with Scott and Jess and Kathy a bit before I made my way to the mall. So ya, I handed out 8 resume's today. Hopefully I will be exactly what someone is looking for and they will hire me. I think that i would just love a job right now. So hopefully I get called soon. Then I made my way back to the church and chatted with Scott for a bit. THen Kristen got there 'cause her and Scott were planning out their recreation business for VBS. It was fun times. Then Kristen and headed home. She came to my house 'cause she wanted to borrow a book. So lent it to her and she went on her way. Now here I am, trying to pass the time until 5:00 when CSI comes on. I do love CSI very much, in case you didn't know.But I think I'm gonna run now. Mostly, by run, I mean get up slowly and leave the computer desk and make my way over to the funto in preparation for SCI. So ya, that's it. Buh bye!

Sick weekend

So basically for the last like 3 days I've been just sitting at home sick. On Saturday I did absolutely nothing all day 'cause I was super cold and achy and my throat hurt real bad. My mom ended up taking me to the medi clinic where I waited for like an hour to get in and see the doctor for about 30 seconds before she sent me out and didn't help me at all. She just took a swab and said that if it't bacterial then they'll get back to me on Monday but otherwise it'll jsut go away on its own. It's so brutal. I seriously have to work up all of my courage each time I have to swallow 'cause it's so painful. It's very slowly getting a bit better and not quite as painful. But it still hurts pretty bad. Whatever. I'll survive I'm sure. Yesterday was a pretty good day. Church was good. It was the youth service and it was really awesome. Scott's an amazing preacher and everyone else was awesome and it was just great. I ended up going out for lunch with some people and then Kristen and I went to the mall for a bit. Then we bought a balloon and a card for her sister 'cause it was her birthday and we took it to her at work. It was fun. Then I just came home. I watched lots of tv and movies last night due to my ill feeling body. Jenna came over and we watched Miss Congeniality 2 with my family. It is a great movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Then Jenna went home and I went to bed. Have I mentioned that I just love Jenna sooo very much and that I think she's the greatest and I'm soooo glad that she's home this year? Ya 'cause it's all true. I just love having her around to call and hang out with whenever I want. I just love her. Well I'm gonna go now and get out of my pj's. And hopefully wash away every last germ that's on me in the shower.

I hate being sick

I'm sick. I feel like crap. I'm achy all over. My throat hurts like a freaking donkey. I hate medi-clinics. I just want to be better.

Bored bored bored

Well I'm still feeling kinda achy. And I don't know if I'm the only one on the planet who experiences this, but I have this nasty feeling like I have a snot build up inbetween my throat and my nose. And my throat is also a little sore. I don't want to be sick. Just healthy. That's it. So I'm really super bored and I really want to do something tonight. But I have no clue what to do. I called Kristen and she's not home. And I'm pretty sure Jenna's in Rosthern tonight, and I know that Scott and Jasmine are at a wedding and lots of other people have grad today. And I just want something to do. If someone else is bored like me, please call me and we'll do soemthing together, k?

Feeling kinda sick

This morning was kinda lazy. I woke up around 10:30 and then chilled on the computer until around lunch time. There goes the whole morning. Oh well. This afternoon I feel in the mood to clean. Not sure why...it rarely happens, so I figure I might as well clean while I'm in the mood. My mom wants us to get on top of things in terms of cleaning and throwing stuff out and packing and what not. Which will not be a problem for me...my brother and sister might be a different story. Oh well. I'm feeling a tad cold and achy right now. You know like the early stages of being sick. I took some ibuprofin, so I hope that that helps. I want to do something with some people tonight. But I'm just not sure what or where or anything. SO if anyone wants to do something, then let me know, 'cause I would love to hang out wiht you tonight.

Fun times

Today ended up being pretty great. This afternoon, I went and picked up Jasmine from the U of S at 2:30ish, except that I was late 'cause of the million detours I encountered on the way there. Retarded!! So we went to Circle Park Mall to see if there were any matinee's playing that we wanted to see, but there were none starting for like another hour or so, so we just left. We went to Montana's and shared some spinach dip. It was fabulous. Then we headed over to her and Scott's house and chilled for a bit while I desparately tried to find someone who felt like babysitting tonight. Sadly, no one on this entire planet did. Shoot. So Jasmine and I went swimming in her grandparent's pool for a bit. It was soooo cold outside when you're wet. As long as we stayed under the water, we were good. But getting out was brutal. It was just so ridiculously windy today. It was pretty dumb. But we still had fun though. Trying to play volleyball with blown up beach balls in the wind isn't the easiest thing ever. But whatever. It was still great. So I couldn't keep on hanging out with Jasmine 'cause I had to go babysit, which wasn't so bad in the end after all. I just played with the kids for like an hour and then they went to bed. I watched Meet The Parents 'cause I hadn't seen it in a very long time and I didn't really remember it. And I think I'd like to see Meet The Fockers and so I figured it would help if I remembered what happened in the first movie. But ya, so that was fun. Although I feel kinda sick from eating popcorn. But hey, what can you do. Now I am gonna go to bed I think and try and wake up before noon tomorrow. G'night!

I need a babysitter

I'm almost kinda relieved that it's not smoking hot outside today. ALthough that would be nice too, but this cooler weather doesn't make my house heat up so much. I am about to clean my bathroom and bedroom and then I'm heading to the U of S to pick up Jasmine and we're gonna hang out. I remembered this morning that I'm supposed to be babysitting tonight so I'm trying to find someone to babysit for me. If anyone who reads this would be so kind as to do this for me, I would be forever in your debt. They are two adorable kids named Paige and Spencer. And it's super easy money. Please.........someone help me out here.......call me on my cell if you will do this. My # is 261-0204. I loev you all!!!!

Waiting....

I am home from my VBS meeting. It was a mighty fun time. I'm not gonna lie. I am pretty freaking excited for VBS. Should be awesome. So Scott and I were talking and he said that I could come over and hang out tonight btu he was biking home so he's not gonna be home for like an hour or so. So I got home and called Jasmine but she's not home currently either. Although Scott said that she went to the gym, so my guess is just that she's probably not quite home from there yet. So now I am simply awaiting her return phone call to see if she wants me to come over or not. I kinda hope so....I just like them so much. Tee hee.

Hot hot hot day!

Last night, I had a fabulous time playing floor hockey. Jenna and I went together and it was quite fun. I kept getting hit with the ball though and now I have a nasty bruise in my right leg. But I like bruises sometimes, so it's all good. Afterwards I went over to Jana's to hang out with her and Michelle and Dan and Bre and Sierra. It was quite fun. We simply sat around and chatted all night. GOod times. Today I hung out at the church, doing random things to get set up for VBS. And let me tell you....I am hoping and praying that the air conditioning at the church is working by the time VBS gets here. I might have to cry or something otherwise. Afterwards, I came home and Ryan came over and we chilled. It is soooooo hot in my house. I went in the back yard and stuck my head under the mercy of teh hose. Thank God for hoses! My mom brought home some pizza for supper. So we ate that while watching CSI. (We're both obsessed). Afterwards, we took a drive to Kristin Clark's house just to say hi or whatever, but sadly she wasn't home. SO we just too a drive down to the river and walked around and looked at the flooding. It's pretty impressive that the river is now just sitting in the middle of Spadina Cres. Who'da thunk? So that was all. Then he brought me home and left and now here I am sitting here waiting for Kristen to come get me and take me to the VBS meeting that is tonight. She better get here soon or we may be late. Nah! Kristen's always on time. No worries there. But I'm gonna run now and make a quick stop in the bathroom before KRisten gets here.

Beautiful tan

I love being tanned!!! I wait all year for this exact weather and here it is today!!!! So wonderful! So I spent the afternoon at Jenna's in her backyard. We jumped on the trampoline and used the hose to our full advantage and got nice and soaking wet. Then we'd lie there and tan until we were dried off and then get wet again and repeat the process. It was truly glorious. I am slowly but surely getting rid of my ugly tank top tan. And I'm starting to get pretty dark too. I love it I love it I love it!!! So tonight Jenna and I are gonna hit up the floor hockey action at the church. Show 'em our stuff...ya know. It'll be good times. Although the injury to my knee that I obtained last week at floor hockey, is still causing me a bit of pain. Not too sure what it is, but as long as it doesn't get worse...it's all good. I'm going to eat some supper now 'cause I am HUNGRY!!!

I love SUMMER!!!!

Last night I went out to Kyla's for dinner as kind of a last girly get together before her and Kendra leave for the summer. It was quite fun. The food was soooo delicious and we had a lot of fun. I rode home with Jana. It was good. I like being with Jana. She just makes me happy all the time. Yay Jana! This morning I woke up at 9:15ish. I got up and showered really quick. I figured I'd take a walk over to the mall and be back before lunch time. So as I was eating breakfast....I decided that it would be in my best interest to watch The Doodlebops before leaving for the mall. I know...it's ridiculous and childlike, but I am rather ridiculous and childlike myself, so it's all good. So after Doodlebops were over, I headed over to the mall. I wanted to buy some blue jean capris but all teh ones I tried on didn't fit right. They were either too small or too baggy or too something else. So I didn't end up getting capris. But I did end up finding a pair of really cute beige shorts at Suzy Shier. SO I bought those instead. Then I headed to London Drugs and bought some eye make-up remover pads. I usually just buy one little package...you know how they come....but this time, they had 4 packages all together and you couldn't just buy one. SO I had to buy 4 packages. SO I think I'm pretty much set until Christmas or something.While I was in London Drugs, I ran into my lovely wife Cherise. So we chatted a bit. I told her that I'm moving and she got really excited about that. So it was fun to run into her. Then I walked over to the church where I chatted with Scott and Jess and Kathy for a bit and cut up some papers. And then I just headed home, where I currently am now eating my lunch as I type this. Jenna just called and said that she feels like jumping on her trampoline with sprinklers....something that I ALWAYS feel like doing so as soon as I finish typing this, I'm gonna head over there and enjoy this 30 degree day! Well....I guess that's all. Until next time...

Lazy day

Today has been a pretty good day. I went and played tennis with Jenna for a bit this afternoon. It was fun. I like playing tennis....even though today I was getting kinda lazy and I wasn't doing very well. But it was still fun. Then I came home and have done absolutely nothing due to the horrible cramps that I am experiencing right now.....if you're a guy, I'm sorry you had to hear that. But anyways, I lied on the couch for a bit and watched 7th Heaven and ate som epopcorn. It was nice ane relaxing. I feel kinda like I want to have a nap now. Although that will not be happening as I am going out tonight. So now I think I'm gonna go try and straighten my house up before my mom gets home. Oh ya....and also this morning, I dropped off a resume at Mackenzie Cole which is opening soon. I really really want to work there. NOt sure why, I usually don't get excited about possibly having a job, but I really hope that I at least get an interview. So ya...anyways. I'm gone!

My big exciting news

Alright........so here it is......the moment you've all been waiting for.......you ready? I'M MOVING!!! Not far away though. Just to Cochin Cres. which is like right across the street from the church. My mom Svend bought a house and we get to move on August 25th. Now tell me that isn't soooooooo exciting. K, I'm sorry if I disappointed some of you and my news isn't as exciting to you as it is to me....but it is pretty darn exciting to me. Just so you all know.....this will be the first time that I've had my own bedroom in like 16 years. Last time I had my own room was before my brother was born. Ya...I'm pretty sure it's about time. I'm so excited. I'll get my own huge room with a queen sized bed that we bought from the lady who lives there now and I'll get to paint it how I want and it'll just be my own room. Sorry for going on about this, but "my own room" is a foreign phrase to me, and I'm just a tad excited about it. And plus I'll be super close to the church! That is so freaking awesome. Ya....so that's my big exciting news. But....there is one thing surrounding this situation which desperately needs a lot of prayer. So, if you wanted, you could keep that in mind when you're thinking of things to pray about through the summer. That would be splendid. Well I guess that's it for now! Love y'all!

The Essay of My Weekend

Alright, so allow me to update you all on my last couple of days. So on Friday night I went over to Jenna's house. Chelsea and Cherise were there as well as Jenna's friend from RJC and also her friend Winston from Briercrest. We were playing Cranium and talking about how great it would be if we got a blackout...ya know, 'cause it was storming and what not...and then like 2 minutes later it blacked out. It was awesome. We all thought it was great, except for Jenna. She was kinda nervous a bit. It was pretty funny. So fortunately Debbie has a great love for candles, so we never ran short on those. So we lit a bunch on the kitchen table and then we took a bag of mini marshmallows and used tooth picks to roast them over the candles. It was soo great. Anyone who has never tried that before, should definitely try it sometime. THe power stayed off for a good hour and a half. It was awesome. It also went off again later. All in all, it was a great night at Jenna's. Saturday, I was at Prarie Meats working the appreciation day all day from 9:30-5:00. For most of the day it was kinda a bit rainy and cold so taht sucked. But I got to stand by Jasmine most of the day and serve hot dogs and burgers, so taht was great. I love Jasmine. I'm just so glad that her and I are friends. She's just fabulous. By the time the later afternoon started rolling around, the sun came out and it started warming up. Now here's the really great part....after we finished working there, me and Scott and Jasmine and Dan King and his family went swimming in Jasmine's grandparent's pool that's in their backyard. That was pretty much the greatest thing ever. I had forgotten how much I love swimming in outdoor pools. But I clearly remember now. A little later on, Rhett and Morgan and their cousin Tyrell and Kristen all came and swam too. It was soooo much fun. There was this little floaty ring thing with a fairly small hole in the middle, but we were diving off the diving board and trying to dive through the middle of the ring. Jasmine and I and Rhett could all do it and then Morgan goes and she just happens to be the one who gets stuck in the ring. It was quite hilarious. The tiniest one of us all is the one who gets stuck in the middle. Good times indeed. Then Rhett and Scott decided that they would be all immature and throw the girls in the water. I mean, it wasn't a big deal 'cause we were already wet, but Rhett would pick you up and throw you over his shoulder and then jump in off the diving board. So naturally I feared that my face would completely splat on teh water, so I put up quite a good fight against Scott and Rhett. But in the end, I ended up losing. I made sure to straighten myself up so taht my face wouldn't splat on the water. So it ended up being alright. Anyways....it was seriously such an awesome time!! Afterwards, we all went to Scott and Jasmine's house to hang out. We ate popcorn (YUMMY) and we watch Lemony Snickets. Good movie. Except that I kept on falling asleep for moments here and there. But it was fun. I just love Scott and Jasmine soooo very much and I love to hang out with them and I just think taht they are the greatest! They're awesome. So I ended up coming home at about 12:30ish and went to bed shortly thereafter. Church today was pretty good. I quite enjoyed it for the most part. Russ' sermon was really super awesome for all those fathers out there, but not so much relavent for unmarried teenage girls like myself. But it was still good. After church I went out for lunch to Moxie's with Kristen and Kristin and Kendra and Tanya and Jana and Michelle and Dan. It was fun. I just love hanging out with my great and wonderful friends! It makes me happy. Just so you all know...if you are my friend, you are like my family. I just love you so very much and I just want to spend time with you all the time. This afternoon I headed across the street to my dad's house to spend some good quality time with him. Lol. We ended up going to look at the Kinsmen home lottery show home. It was a fairly nice house except that it only had 2 bedrooms and it really wasn't taht big of a house and it was priced at $560,000. A bit ridiculous, if you ask me. The only part of the house that I really liked was teh carpet. It was fantastic. But other than that, it was just alright. Then we went to see Man Of The House, which was quite good and funny. We both enjoyed it. Then came supper time. It took us quite a while to figure out where the heck we should go to eat. We ended up settling on The Great Buffett of China. It was a good meal. I wished we could've made for some better conversation though. But it was still enjoyable. Once we finished eating, we came home and did a puzzle together. Then Jaclyn and Kevin came over to play some football with my dad, so I went home. I went to Dairy Queen with Svend. Good times. Then I simply came home and did nothing. Now here I am writing a freaking essay. Props to those of you who took the time to read this whole thing. You're awesome. Oh ya, and just to let you know, I am free to tell you my big happy news now, but I'm tired of typing and this is getting too long, so I'll write it tomorrow. Be sure to check back. It's awesome. Well I'm going to bed now as I am quite tired. G'night!

I love Quin and Abby

So.....quick update on my life in teh last day or so. K, so I can't remember if I mentioned whether or not I have a nasty sunburn. Oh ya...I'm pretty sure I did. Well it looks slightly better today than it did yesterday. Although it's still pretty ugly. Horrible tank top tan and horrible shorts tan. Brutal!!! Oh well....I suppose I have all summer to fix that little problem. So anyways, last night Jenna and I went to see Guess Who. Let me tell you...it was a fabulous movie. I quite enjoyed it. I like hanging out with Jenna. I'm soooooo glad that she's going to be home for like a year. First year since grade 10! Man have I missed her. But it's all good now 'cause she's home. So then when I got home...something else quite significant happened, but I'm not officially allowed to say anything as of yet, as things are not completely finalized yet. But as soon as I can let the word out...I'll let you all know. So today, I am at Clayton and Michelle's babysitting Quin and Abby. Yay! I just love these kids to death!! And Quin can actually say my name now! Well actually it's more just like "Kri", but I know what he means. He can fully say Abby's name though. What a difference in the amount he can talk now from when I first came in March. HUGE difference. So ya. I'm here just for the day today, having a jolly good time. And I'm not sure what I'm up to tonight. If there's something going on....please let me know, 'cause I want in. Or if someone just wants to do something with me....that would be great too. Well I love y'all and I'll be sure to write some more later, I'm sure.

Happy days!

Well this is gonna be quick 'cause I have to go clean my room and eat supper and fix my hair before Jenna comes to get me in half an hour. We're going to see Guess Who tonight. Ya, pretty excited about that. So I got a NASTY sun burn today. And to make it worse, it's not like I was wearing my bathing suit all day or anything....no no no....of course I had to be wearing a thick strapped tank top. Ya. Great burn. Gotta love it. My face finally got a bit of a tan today though, which I'm super pumped about. Ya....I went for many walks today and then Jenna and I chilled in her backyard on the trampoline with the hose and stuff. Much suntanning was happening. Good day! Did I mention how much I absolutely love summer??? Ya....'cause I do! It's the best ever. K, but I gotta go. Lata!

Tonight was fun. I liked having worship practice. It's always great. Except that it seems like every song we ever do is sooo high. Well, that's actually not true, but it feels like it sometimes. But hey....gives me some good vocal practice I guess. So ya, it was fun. Then after practice, Kristen and I went to the Travelodge to pick up Dan King's kids and take them home and babysit them. Let me tell you how easy it was. We got to their house...they had to go to the bathroom and brush their teeth and go to bed. And then Kristen and I looked at some photo albums we found on their shelf. Good times! Lol. There were definitely some awesome early 90's pics. It was great. And then we watched The Wedding Planner. What a good night. You can hardly call that babysitting. It was fun. I liked it. Well, now I should probably get going to bed soon I think. Soo...toodlooo!

TGIW (Thank God It's Wednesday!)

Today was a fairly awesome day. I had a great time at church all day long painting animals for vbs. We're all done all the painting!! Hurray!!!! It's about time. SO my knee is feeling quite a bit better than it was this morning. I can walk with out looking like a gimp, although I still have a minor limp I think. But hopefully by tomorrow I'll be as good as new. So tonight is worship practice, which I'm so excited for. Worship practice is one of the highlights of my week. I look forward to it soo much always and I'm just super happy that today is Wednesday. So taht's where I'll be tonight from 6:30-7:30. Did I mention lately how much I love the people at Cornerstone?? 'Cause I don't think I'll ever stop thinking about it. I just love everybody. I really appreciate Lorne a lot. I'm super glad and grateful that I get to be on his worship team. It makes me happy He's pretty great I think. But ya, anyways, I'm gonna run now 'cause my sister is on my case to get off the computer.

Sucky deal

So...I'm hopefull about to get myself into the shower and all fed and stuff like that and then head over to the church to do some painting for vbs. But there's one problem. Last night at floor hockey, I like pulled something really bad in the back of my knee and I can't straighten my leg all the way. I can straighten it most of the way and kinda just walk like a gimp, but if I straighten it all the way then it hurts like a huge mother donkey and I kinda collapse a bit. And seeing as though walking to the church is my only way there....this could create a problem. Perhaps, I'll try biking, maybe that'll be easier. Well anyways....eventually I'll make my way to the church somehow and i'll be there pretty much all day. So if you need me, that's where you'll find me.

What an awesome evening

Man, tonight was so great. I was just sittin here on my computer wondering what the heck I was gonna do tonight, and then, as I was talking to Dan on msn, he said I should come to floor hockey. SO that I did. And it was awesome!!! It was so fun and I love getting all nice and sweaty. And I didn't even suck too bad. I'm definitely gonna go, like, every week. Good times indeed!

I love Saskatoon in summer

Today was a great and wonderful day. Cherise called me this morning to see if I wanted to come out to Langham for a bit today, but due to my lack of vehicle, I was unable to. So she called me back a bit later and suggested that her and Chelsea come into the city to hang out. So it ended up that CHelsea and Cherise and Jenna went down to the river by the Bes adn hung out. We plaued catch with a football and then with a frisbee, and then we were slightly dying of heat so we headed over to the fountain where we sat with our feet resting nicely in the cool water. Oh so good. After we had cooled off enough, we walked over to the bus and got some frozen yogurt and ice cream which we ate while sitting at a picnic table in the park. Let me tell you...it was truly a glorious afternoon. Not too sure what I'm up to tonight. No plans as of uyet. Guess we'll find out when it gets here.

Rain rain rain

So last night Jenna and I went to play tennis. As we were on our way there it was starting to get pretty windy and crappy looking outside, but whatever...we're tough and we can play tennis in wind. No big deal. So as we were biking there, we ran into Tanya in the park. We talked and chatted for a moment or two before we kept on our way. It started to rain a bit, but that didn't stop us. We just went and played and after too long it stopped raining and the court pretty much dried up. So anyways, we played for at least an hour in the on and off rain. It was really fun. Neither of us are super duper awesome. I'd say we're pretty much equal skill as each other. It was super fun. Then we each went home to shower off the rain and sweatiness. And then we headed over to VHQ to rent a movie. We ended up renting Spanglish. Pretty good movie I must say. I quite enjoyed it a lot. Not your typical Adam Sandler movie, but really good. So now here I am....fresh outta bed and curious to know what I'm gonna do today. Ha ha. Well I think that the first step would be to have a shower. And eat some breakfast. Alright, sounds good. I'm gone.

Revelations galore

Well today is going by fairly quickly I'd say. And I feel as if I'm running out of time to do all the productive things that I'm supposed to do today. You know, like clean my room (which looks like it has been hit by a hurricane), and clean the bathroom and stuff like that. Where does that time go? So tonight is Mary Kay training, like every other Monday night, but I am undecided as to whether or not I'm going to go.Lately I've been feeling more and more like Mary Kay is not the road I'm supposed to take. So I've been leaning more and more towards giving it up as a business. I'll still remain a consultant so that I can get product for myself at cost, and my friends can still buy from me if they want, but I think that'll pretty much be the extent of it. So ya...that's that. I noticed yesterday that we're getting a Mackenzie Cole Coffee over by VHQ and I absolutely love that place so I think I may apply to work there. We'll see. I think it'd be fun. I figured out yesterday what my dream job is. See most people, when they are asked what their dream job is, can come up with something. But I never have had any clue waht that would be for me. But the other day.....it just hit me. If I could have any job I wanted, I would want to work at the church. Not too sure what I would want to do there, but just to work there would be ideal for me. 'Cause I know that any other job that I have, I would just be wishing that I could be at the church. That's why I'm there so much right now, with all my free time. It's my home and I love being there sooooo much. So ya, there's another revelation for the day. Well that's enough for now...I'm going to eat some pasta salad.

Quick

Don't have time to write much 'cause I need to go to bed...btu in short, my night was awesome. A bunch of us had a girls night at Chris' house and it was sooooo much fun. We just acted like silly little school girls for most of the night, which is kind of embarassing, but really fun at the same time. So now I'm going to try and scan my new pics that I got developed today onto my computer. Later.

Greatest day ever

Man....today was pretty much awesome all the way through. Except for first thing in the morning when my alarm didn't go off and I was like 1/2 hour late for worship practice. That part kinda sucked 'cause I'm totally not one of those people who can just wake up and talk and sing all normal or whatever. I need a good hour or two before I can sing normally. But here I was at practice this morning, outta bed for like 15 minutes, totally unable to sing. I felt like I had lost my voice. I could barely make sound come out. Fortunately Krisinda sang melody with me during practice so I wouldn't completely make a total fool of myself. I was good by the time the service got here though. Praise the good Lord. So I'm pretty sure that church today was just about the best service EVER!!! I absolutely loved playing with the orchestra and I loved all of the sharing that people did and stuff. And there was just so much energy in the place. People were just alive and happy to be there. It was absolutely fabulous. I loved every single second of it. And then...to top of a great service like that, there was the barbeque afterwards. That was sooo much fun as well. I ate lots of food and watermelon (YUMMY) and then I played with Quin and Abby for a while just 'cause I absolutely love those kids to death. I had such fun with them, chasing them around and tickling them. GOod times. Then a ton of us went to the field at Marion Graham and played soccer for a while. It was sooo fun. I just love that we just do things like that so randomly all the time. It's awesome. Then it started raining so people all left, but Scott and Jasmine and Alanah and I went to the church gym and played volleyball for a bit and then bump for a bit. By that time we were kinda tired and stuff. So ultimately Jasmine and I rented White Noise and went to her house to watch it. It was really freaky and weird. But really good too. It was kind of confusing and we didn't really get it even after it had ended, so taht was kinda poopy but all in all it was good. SO now I'm home and just chillin out and relaxin. I love being comfy and cozy and just relaxing. Man...I could so use a leg and foot massage. If there are any volunteers, just let me know...lol. Just kidding (sort of). Lol.

Oops

K, I made a mistake and now it says that I already wrote something tomorrow night at like 11:51....so these will be a bit out of order now until tomorrow's over. SOrry 'bout that guys.

What a wonderful fabulous night

So the grad banquet last night was nothing short of amazing. Everything just looked great and went great and it was pretty much just super great. I managed to take an entire roll of pictures. So I'm pretty sure I need to get those developed today. Jenna and Kristen and I looked pretty hot in our black pants and white shirts thinking that we were Charlie's Angels. I'll be sure to post a pic of that when I get one. I just had a fabulous time at the grad banquet last night. Then afterwards a bunch of us went out to Earl' to grab some drinks and food. Good times indeed. I got the spinach and artichoke dip which is suprisingly amazing. Under normal circumstances, I would never ever eat spinach....but there's just something about that dip. It's too good to pass up. So that was good times. So we left Earl's around midnight at which poing Scott suggested that we all go over to his and Jasmine's house to play games and what not. So Dan drove Julie and I home so we could change out of our dress clothes (at last). Then he came back and picked up Julie and Bre and I and we headed back to Scott and Jasmine's. We got there at like 1:00. Craziness I tell you. So we played Catch Phrase (best game ever) for a little while. And I might add so that the whole world can know that the girls beat the guys four rounds in a row. Ya, that's right. I guess we know what the superior sex is now, huh? Good times good times. So after we finished that, we played Scene It, at which point I kept thinking that Dan was about to die of tiredness. But regardless...Scott and Dan and my team still won. Do you see the common denominator here.....I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who won both the games....perhaps it's all my doing. Ha ha ha! Riiiiiight! I make myself laugh sometimes. Anyways, so after that we came home. I got home at like 3:20ish, and managed to get to bed by 3:40ish. So I woke up this morning at about 11:20. Craziness. But I think that I should run 'cause my Aunt and Uncle are apparently coming over and I've been given instructions to clean the living room. Fun fun fun.

Yay for Sunshine!!!!

Oh how I am so fond of sunshine. This is exactly the kind of weather I dream about all winter long. And oh waht a long winter it is. So I decided that I would take advantage of this beautiful weather and go outside and suntan for a b it. I'm not too sure that I got much of a tan at all, but it felt good to lie there anyways. Then my dog and I played with the hose for a big. He likes to try and jump around and eat the water as I spray it. And he gets absolutely soaking wet in the process. But it was really fun. But Jana just called to say that her and Jasmine just got to the church, so I'm gonna head over there now and help with the final decorating tasks. Later!

Grad banquet day! YAY!

Last night I went to the church and met Jana and Dan and Jasmine to set up for the grad banquet. It was really fun actually. It took us a while to kind of figure out what the heck we were doing. But we eventually pulled ourselves together and all was well. I would say what the gym looks like and stuff, but I don't want to ruin the suprise if by chance one of the grads was to read this before tonight. So I guess you will all just be pleasantly suprised instead. Now this morning I have to figure out how to make a pasta salad to take today. Fortunately, my mom knows what to do, so I will call her and she will show me the way. THen I'm heading back to the church sometime in the afternoon to meet Jasmine and Jana to finish a few minor details of the decorating process. And then I'll just be at the church pretty much for the rest of the day. I'm so excited for the grad banquet tonight. The 14 grads that are going to be there tonight is slightly more than the 3 we had last year! Ha ha! Good times. That was pretty much the best ever. Oh man...I need to find some film somewhere. As if I'm gonna be at the banquet and not take pictures....especially with how nicely we set it up. I'll figure it out. It'll be good.

Just a great evening

So as I anticipated...worship practice tonight was somewhat of a gong show. We started like 20 minutes late 'cause people had to get set up and organized and stuff. That took a little while. So then we finally started and it kind of took us a little bit before the band and the orchestra could kind of understand what the other was doing. It ended up being alright, considering Lorne wasn't there to guide us along. But practice did go super duper long though. Like we got there at 6:30 and left at like 8:15. It was pretty insane. But pretty enjoyable all at the same time. Well for me anyways. I don't know what everybody else thought. I'm super stoked for Sunday though. I just love big exciting things like this that I get to be a part of. Ya...it should be great. Everyone make sure you're at church on Sunday...10:00...it's gonna be awesome. SO after worship practice Jana and I went out to a movie 'cause I had a movie gift certificate thing, so we went to see Madagascar at Pacific. It was suuuuuper funny! I highly recommend it. Ya, I had quite an enjoyable time with Jana. Aside from all the popcorn and swedish berries that we stuffed ourselves with...it was pretty good. Well I should be getting to bed now...big day tomorrow....I'll tell ya all about it later!

Alright, let's hope thsi works...

Stupid

K, let's see if this works.....my blog has been dumb and son't let me publish anything.

I love my life these days

Today has been a marvelous day!!! Kristen and I headed to the church around 10:45ish to see what Zcott and Dan were up to. They were busy watching a video so Kristen and I went to the mall for just a brief time 'cause she wanted to check out some luggage. Nothing real exciting. Just came and looked then left. So we headed back to the church and we finished watching the video with Scott and Dan and then we helped Scott set up some tables and table cloths in tehe gym for the banquet tomorrow night. IT was fun fun fun. Then after the 3 of us went and got some McDonald's for lunch, we came back to the church and finished up and then we kicked some socker balls around the gym as well as a basketball while all the tables were already set up. It was super awesome. And it took me like 15 minutes or something just to make a basket. Ridiculous, I tell you. So that was soooo fun. Then we went to Kristen's house and Jenna came over 'cause we had a web cam date with G. It was pretty fun. We were asking him if he has a bobsled team and stuff like that and it was truly hilarious. Good times indeed. Now, I've just got a bit of time to spare before I'm heading back to the church to decorate for the grad banquet. SHould be awesome.

Happy happy happy

WEll this'll be brief 'cause I'm kinda on the run and I'm late to meet Kristen. But ya, so Kristen and I are going to the church this morning to so some stuff or whatever happens. Then this afternoon Kristen and Jenna and I have a web cam date with G so that's going to be sooo much fun. Then this evening I'm helping decorate for the grad banquet tomorrow, so I'm super pumped for that. This should be a great day, basically, is what I'm trying to say.

Too much painting for one day

So pretty much I was at church all day today....and by all day I mean from 9:30 until like 4:00. And I pretty much just painted all day. There is tons and tons of painting to be done for vbs. You know, like lots of fun safari animals and stuff like that. It's fun though. Plus it is Jessica's 27th (I think) birthday and also it's Mark and Sonja's 14th anniversary today. So I got to chill out and eat pizza with the staff for lunch and stuff. It was lots of fun. Oh how I just love Cornerstone. Melissa walked in today and asked if I'm like employed there now 'cause every time she comes I'm always there. I wish. That would be awesome. But anyways...So ya, I had a really awesome day and plus I got to see my old friend Natalie 'cause she came to help paint too. So that was really great. I was super pumped about that. Hopefully we'll get to hang out and stuff. But ya...So tonight at worship practice we're practicing with the orchestra for our set on Sunday. So if that wasn't going to be enough of a gong show, now Lorne isn't going to be there tonight 'cause he's at his grandpa's funeral. So that makes me a bit nervous, but whatever....we'll pull ourselves together. It'll be awesome. So aside from my nervousness, I'm super excited 'cause I've never played with an orchestra before and I think that it's going to be sooooo awesome. So I kinda can't wait. But wahtever...I'll make it I guess.

VBS

I'll be leaving in about 10 minutes to go to the church for pretty much the whole day. I'm gonna just be helping with decorating and what not for vbs...so THat should be a good time. If anyone else has some spare time on their hands...stop by the church and help out or whatever. SHould be good times.

Great day!

Allow me to update you on my afternoon. So I met Dan at the church and then went to his house where he proceeded to show me how to make buttons. You know...like the kind that close sort of like a safety pin and you stick 'em on your backpack or shirt of whatever. Ya...those kind. It was truly fascinating. I had quite an enjoyable time. I did that for a little while then he needed some e-mails sent out, so I did a whole bunch of copying and pasting and sent out 29 e-mails to a bunch of people. That was also quite enjoyable...suprisingly. Then I made some more buttons and left shortly after. I wish that all of my time could just be spent chillin at the church or helping out whoever needed it. I'm pretty sure I already said that earlier, but I just feel it so strongly. But unfortunately, I can't pay off a $4000 dollar loan with volunteer work. So...that brings me back to needing a bit of direction from God. Anyways, so now I'm home and in about 15 m inutes, Kristen's coming to get me and we're going to see Jenna at the airport 'cause she comes home tonight!!! Hurray!!! I love Jenna!! So anyways...that's all for now!

Man...I just love my church

Well, this morning hasn't really been very productive at all. I've been mostly just chillin on the computer and around the house. In about a half an hour or so I'm going to the church to meet Dan King and then we're heading over to the 24/7 prayer office and I'm just help him out with a bunch of random things. It should be fun. If I could, I would just love to be available all the time to just go to the church and hang out or help out with whoever needs it. I just love my church sooo very much. My whole heart just wants to be there all the time and jsut be involved in anything and everything that I possibly can be. Cornerstone is like my home. Seriously. I feel more at home at church than I do at home. I could go on for probably hours about how I love Cornerstone and the people there, but I think this is enough for now. Anyways...bottom line...I'm excited to be helping Dan out this afternoon. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

Kristin and I 

Just a bunch of goodness

Here's a fabulous pic of Kristin and I at YC! I just think it's possibly one of the greatest pics ever!

If only I just had my own computer...

Well I came home from Melissa's shower, which was really fun and exciting, and was hoping to get on the computer so that I could try and go on quick and then get to bed at a decent hour. But ya, I got home and my sister was on the computer, so I decided to wait patiently for her to get off and walking my dog seemed like a great way to make the time pass a little more quickly. So I took my dog out for quite a long walk just down and around some random roads. It was actually a really nice walk. Sometimes just being out and about in the middle of the night air is really refreshing and quite enjoyable. So I had a great time doing that. By the time I got home, my sister had gotten off, but my mom had gone on, so I had to wait even longer to get my hands on this computer. Ridiculous I tell you. But I finally did and here I am. But of course by this time, most people aren't on msn any longer so I'm kinda out of luck a bit. But hey, it's all good. Well now that I'm here and I don't have any friends to talk to, I think I might as well just go to bed. Maybe tomorrow my luck will be different.

Wow did that ever feel goooooood to sleep in today. After a few nights of barely any sleep, that was exactly what I needed. So now I'm jsut chillin out as usual. Kristen and I are going to go out rollerblading in ab out an hour and a half or so, so I think I might catch up on my B-I-B-L-E reading until then. I am long overdue in that department and I want so badly to learn to be disciplined in that area. After all, I mean, if I claim that God is numbers one through ten on my priority list, then why on earth does my lifestyle not reflect that. I feel so desperate to be consumed by the presence of God but I'm doing nothing to make it happen. So if anyone wants something to pray for, it could be that I find passion and joy in my spiritual life and that I become more disciplined in all areas of my spiritual life. Also I need to figure out pretty quick what God wants for me right now in terms of work. I need some form of income and I'm struggling with whether Mary Kay is what I'm meant for or not, and I just need some direction pretty quick. So there you go. Those are my thoughts. I think I'll head now and take a quick shower so taht I can get to my Bible for a while before I head out.

Today was such a great day! Aside from the fact that I've bene dead tired all day, it was just great from start to finish. Church was really good today. My worship team was on and that's always my favourite thing. I probably can't express in words how much I love being on a worship team. It makes me so passionate and joyful and I just love it with all my heart. And plus, I can't wait 'til next Sunday when we get to play with the orchestra. That is gonna be soooo freaking awesome. Anyways....So after we did our set in the second service, Jana and Dan and I went out to lunch to Wendy's. I gotta admit, it felt kinda weird not being there for the 2nd service. I rarely don't stay for both. So , it was a new experience..but a good oen at that. So then I stayed at the church for a youth leader's meeting, it was kinda quick and simple, but still fun at the same time. I love my people from church. They're just my family. I can't get over how good God is to me. He jsut give me soo many great people to be with. So after the meeting, I went with Jasmine to drop off Dan King at home and then we went to her house to pick up a couple games and then we headed over to Dawn and Daryl's. Kristen was already there. We all just chilled all afternoon and played a whole lot of Scene It and Catch Phrase. It was just a fabulous time. I happen to think that Jasmine is pretty great. I'm just glad that I get to be friends with her and hang out and stuff. She's just awesome. Sooo, anyways....we stayed there all day pretty much just playing games the whole time. We got quite a few goo d laughs out of it. Then Kristen and I left around 8:00 or so and came home. So since then I've just been chatting on msn and enjoying my life. But I' need to go to bed now because I am absolutely wiped.

What a night!

Wow! Last night was such a great night. We went to Shanda's for Mandy's lingerie shower. It was a total suprise to her which made it even better. I think I'll pass out on going into the details, but it was a fabulous night. Makes me excited to get married. NOt like that's happening in the near future, but it's still exciting. So after going to sleep at 4:30 this morning, I am a little bit on the tired side, but hey...it's all good. Gotta love girlie nights. SO I came home from Shanda's and went to Parables and the mall with my mom and Svend. It was fun. I got a new shirt and a new tank top and a new cute shirt all from Suzy Shier. I'm sooo excited about that. I love getting new clothes. Especially when I don't have to buy them. Yay for Svend! So I ran into Rhett at the mall and he told me that he thought people were going to Jordan and Carissa's tonight. SO was trying to figure out if there was any truth to that. So I came on msn and asked Dan and he gave JOrdan a call and apparently that was just a big rumor and he didn't even know anything about aht. DOn't ya hate when that happens. SO apparently a bunch of people are actually going to Chris and Lindsay's house so I guess that's the plan for my evening. Too bad Pete's gone. He was funny to talk to. Oh well. So, I need to go now and take care of some things before I head out! Over and out!

Lazy day..

Wow! Well today I mostly just sat around all day. Literally. ALl morning I chilled on teh computer trying to find my way around this thing and what not. Good times. ANd plus I talked to Astro on msn for most of the morning as well...(Astro is Kristen's boyfriend's friend from Jamaica). SO ya, that was a good time. Then I ate some potatoe and cheddar perogies for myself for lunch. Then I just felt like sitting around some more. I don't know why....I was just in a super lazy mood today. I had a lot of energy and I wasn't tired or anything. Iunno....I just felt like sitting on my couch and watching White Chicks sounded like a more appealing option to me. So that's exactly what I did. It was a pretty good movie, other than all the sexual inuendo that completely overtook the movie. But it was funny. Although I think that I need to think more about what moview I watch. I don't know if it's completely healthy support a movie as a whole and just ignore the bad parts as if they weren't there. I can't imagine God would watch a movie and then just completely overlook the bad parts as if they weren't there. Hmm....interesting. I'll have to think about that some more. Ao anyways...tonight I'm going to Shanda's house. Mandy is getting married in September and so Shanda and Chelsea and Cherise and I and a couple other girls are throwing her a lingerie shower tonight. I am sooooo excited for that. She doesn't know about it so it'll be even better. So ya, I'm super excited about that. But anyways, I shoud go 'cause I gotta walk my dog quickly and then leave in like half an hour. Yay for dogs. :)

Yay for just getting a blog!

Wow! This is definitely exciting! I've never had one of these before. I'm super excited about this. I totally want to be one of those good bloggers who like updates it all the time and never misses a day ever....k, well maybe not quite that hardcore, but I want it to be something good. Well, I'm not gonna write much else right now, 'cause I just figured this out and plus I am soooo ready to go to sleep right now. Soo....goodnight...sleep tight.
