| sweet road trip |
sarah, shane, will, jeff & i took a road trip to saskatoon this past weekend. it was SO much fun. i had to go up there for a meeting that i had on the sunday. we went up the saturday morning and stayed til sunday afternoon. we ran into the breitkreuzes at the mall, and knew that the cowman clan was also up there that weekend for a wedding. it was like *the* weekend for rosewood people to head up. we did a lot of shopping, although i spent most money on food. actually, i didn't even really buy anything for myself. i was hoping to find a sweet spring jacket, but didn't find one... (fast-forward from that weekend to a couple days ago back in regina, i found a sweet jacket). i got to go for awesome cheap wings with huyen and andge and brooke! and then seeing my friends from Lakeview again was just SO good. i totally miss that place. i love where life is at right now, but i miss saskatoon. there is so much to do there! and definitely had a nostalgic moment when i walked into the extra foods that i used to get my groceries from. *tear*
we went to the Yard for lunch on saturday and the food there is INCREDIBLE. i had this coconut chicken sandwich and the chicken was just soo tender and juicy and the coconut sauce was incredibly creamy... mmm.... their fries are SO good there too. sarah had this fish and chips, and i swear it could have fed 2 people it was SO huge, and even the least expensive meal out of all of ours. it wasn't even expensive there, actually. pretty standard. SUCH a good deal.
there was live music on broadway ave (street?) and the atmosphere there is just so awesome. i love hearing music played in the streets. even when we went to the mall there was this guy busking outside the doors... he had such a great voice too!
yeah, it was such a good couple days, with lots of laughs and pics. good times.Labels: update |

| 2 years... |
| today is exactly two years from the day that Jeff and I started dating... the first time. that sounds funny. crazy though, to think about if we had stayed together during all that time. im glad we didn't though, because life had been so incredible the way it turned out for me. and now the second time around at this relationship, actually, even having a chance to get a second time around in itself is insane. but this second time around is SO good. much better than the first, beyond what i could have ever imagined. thank Jesus for that second chance. His timing is PERFECT and it's so sweet to think that He's just smiling down at me knowing that it was going to be so much better for us now than before. Labels: pensiveness |

| Enter June |
wow... june already!?
so here's what's been new with me for the past half month:
i succumbed to facebook.
*screams of terror*
i know. some of you are HUGELY disappointed in me. mostly andge and gracie. aw. i'm sorry. but actually, im not really. hahah. it's been really awesome to connect with my sktoon friends, relatives and friends from everywhere else again. AND, be proud of me, cause i am actually NOT obsessed with it. mostly, i just go on to check my wall and inbox and answer those. i haven't even had time to creep on people yet! i know... WHO am i?!
work has been keeping me on my toes. i've been doing a great job at leaving work at work though. the first couple weeks, i was always working on something for church, even at home... it's kind of hard when your work laptop is the same as your personal laptop. but no, i managed to control leaving work at work, and if you know me well enough, that's a huge accomplishment for me. so yay!
i went to my first of 7 weddings this year. it was awesome. my family sat with Jill's parents for the reception, and i have to say that her parents are soooooooooooo cool. They're so sweet and humble and just like... they're the type of parents that would be like the best 'my-friend's-parents' growing up, you know? like a second set of parents for someone. such a SOLID couple. it honestly just makes me sooo joyful when i meet people so awesome like that. the kind of people that you had around in your lives more often. so jill, if you still pop by, tell your parents that for me... that they're SO sweet! (you are too, and no wonder! seriously.) hahah ;)
i witnessed my sister's first wipe-out on the longboard. i was pretty proud of her. concerned, but proud. even I haven't wiped out really bad since i started riding! so im kind of jealous too. but not really. she skinned her knee pretty bad. she didn't cry though, just kind of writhed in pain. but she's okay and skated it off. she's so cool.
jeff is still SUCH a sweetheart. he gave me flowers randomly before he left for the weekend for his sister's wedding in AB. that was over a week and a half ago and the flowers are still just like they're fresh! it's crazy. i didn't realize they could last this long. he's more of a gentleman than i remember him to be, which is AWESOME. i don't know where it came from but keep it comin'!
anyway, i hope that's a satisfactory update enough for Lindsay. haha. and for everyone else. :D

| sweet, productive day off! (and update) |
mondays are my days off from work. mondays are also my mom's day off from work, which is SO sweet cause then i get to hang with her all day.
today we went shopping for hours! it was great. i got some sweet clothes that i needed for the gazillion of weddings that im going to this summer.
AND, i went to B Sharp music today to get my guitar fixed and the guys there are SO helpful. my guitar's bridge is lifting horrifically and i have no idea how i didn't notice how bad it was until last week. thankfully, it looks like it's still covered under warranty so i won't have to pay for the repairs!! side note: i totally thought i had that guitar for 5 years, apparently, i've only had it for not even 3 yet. (i had to dig out my receipt to give the repair guys to see if it was still under warranty). crazy... i can't even imagine what life was like before i stumbled upon that trusty little Tanglewood!
my first week of work was awesome. filled with fun and laughter and music and painting. i really like this life... and that's only the work part!
i still need to figure out where this whole 'gym' thing fits into my life... cause i really need to!
oh yeah, i went to watch Iron Man with Sarah, Shane and Jeff on friday night. i honestly really didn't have an incredible passion to go see it but I am SO glad i did. it is SUCH a good movie. i had a similar reaction to Transformers (i was also recommended to see it by more people for that one), but Iron Man is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy better. I never even heard of it until a couple days before we went to see it. I'm not even an action movie person. But it is sooo funny and actiony and just all around amazing. so.. GO SEE IT!Labels: update |

| Hitting the ground running...kind of |
8 days being home. it's been sweet. i think i did bum around for the first part of it, but i don't really remember. the last part of my week has been a lot of running around. i still haven't gotten into a routine yet, which feels funny, but once i start work tomorrow, i'm sure it'll come.
as i mentioned before, im going to be working at my church in regina, Rosewood for the summer. me and my friend Sarah were hired as the summer students and we will head up the kids' summer day camp (like i did two summers ago), but on top of that, i will also be taking care of the music for the weekend services, and she will be taking care of the kids' weekend programs during church services, if i understood correctly.
can i say that i love the people at my home church? i've gotten so many 'welcome home!'s and hugs and just great big smiles from so many friends and great people who have 'watched' me grow up there. there really is no place like home. there are sooo many new families there too that i've never even met. it's such a great and exciting place to be, having seen many changes in the past short while, and there are many huge changes (exciting ones!) to anticipate. if you're ever in town or if you live in town, you should come check it out some weekend!
my room is still a mess from unpacking. i still don't have it all organized yet. i've left it though, for the past few days, because...i hate unpacking... haha.
i can't think of any stories to share... the past week has kind of been a blur! |

| SCHOOL'S DONE FOREVERRRRRRRRRRR!!!! |
I just finished my last final... ever.
How does it feel? Well, normal. Maybe it hasn't really hit me yet. But then again, I've been doing so many things that weren't school related (as it will reflect in my GPA) since classes ended, that I never really felt 'bounded' to studying.
So. Here I am. Sitting here. Just like any other day I've had in the past 3 weeks. I didn't stay up too late to study last night. Probably til 2am. But that's about the time I've been going to bed anyway. And waking up at 10am. I was going to wake up earlier today to read through some more notes, but I couldn't do it. Stayed in bed til 1030 actually. Then, I did a couple things around the house, ran to Erin's for a sec and then went to pick up Sherry to come write our final.
And, no, I don't graduate yet, and I know that lots of people realize this, but I also know that I will still get that question. I still have that year of internship, remember? I get to graduate in 2009. So, I'm just done with the formal academic learning part, which is known as school. All of next year will consist of working. For free. Actually, I will be paying people to work for free, cause I still have to pay tuition. Imagine that.
I move back tomorrow. SO weird.
I think that's freaking me out more than finishing school is. I don't think I've had enough time to really let that thought soak in just yet. It is exciting though.
Well, I don't know what else to say here.
YAY for no more school! |
