So i'm at the library right now with Christina, so I thought I'd quickly update my blog while here!
Not too much else has been new... Still have mice (though I will be picking up different traps next week...), still at MFC (though this coming week is the last week!!!), still LOVING the house (and Debby's back!)
Okay, so... the house. Still love it!!! And my roomies!!! =D Debby got back safe and sound from her trip to BC, but she is heading out early tomorrow morning for her Alaskan cruise, so she'll be gone another week or so... And Shayani will soon be moving in as well, I'm QUITE excited for that!!! =D
MFC is winding down... The kids have been awesome, I'm gonna miss them so much!!! Though even as I say that, there are some kids who have been having trouble listening, and it's been really frustrating... but I will still miss them! =( Lol yesterday was our last Teen Swim, but the pool was closed (AGAIN!!!) so we had a BBQ at the centre, fun times!!! =D Lol I was supposed to barbecue the hamburgers and hot dogs, but one of the kids (he's 12) kinda took over LOL! He flipped them and everything, all I did was move them to make the diamond grill marks... And he was so proud, it was awesome!!! Lol this is the same kid that we teased for being manly cuz he was able to carry three bags of ice at Teen Swim (oh so long ago when we actually were able to have Teen Swim... thanks a lot rain!) So now he barbecued, and therefore even more of a man, and he was really proud of it, and I was proud of him!
Anyways, we gotta go cuz we still need to stop at IGA for juice (it's on sale!), get home, have supper, and be back at Calvary Temple for 7:30 for the Building 429 concert, I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!! =D until next time! =)
P.S. I will be getting internet at home soon so I will be able to update on a regular basis =)

Another Mouse in my House! =S
Wow I haven't updated in a while, I apologise to my readers!
Anyways, I have now been in my house for over a week, and I am completely loving it!!! =D I LOVE my roommate Christina, she is sooooo awesome!!! We've been spending most evenings together, either chatting, or watching movies or prison break lol... Saturday afternoon we dressed up and went out shopping, it was so fun and we both looked good! ;) but we were both also dying from wearing heels lol...
I bought some movies from walmart, from the $5 bin: Spiderman, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Little Nemo (does anyone remember that one??? The part with the tar always scared the crap outta me as a kid...), aaaaand something else I can't remember right now... Then we bought some stuff from Bulk Barn, then headed home, stopping by her church to pick up some stuff for her art project... Then we headed down to catch the 17 to go to my place, but missed it so we went into Safeway to see the Venus Flytraps they have, THEY ARE SO COOL!!!!!!!! =D then we went to Video 1001 across the street and I picked up Rent and Chicago for $7 each, awesome! =D
She ended up not coming with me to my place, which was okay...
Oh yeah, before I forget! I dyed my hair red again! =D it looks great!!! And I was going to shoppers by my place to get black hair dye for streaks, which also look very cool, Christina helped me put them in! =)
Awww I love Christina so much =) and i'm so glad God has sent me to that house, cuz even Christina said herself said that she wouldn't know what to do with herself after what she's gone through this past week... It's amazing how God's timing works! =)
Oh yes, and we have mice in our house... =( we got some mouse poison, mixed it with peanut butter, and set it out, and we were pretty sure that the mouse was dead, but after being untouched for a few days, the peanut butter disappeard sometime between Saturday night and Sunday night... =S so we're thinking it was the momma mouse that ate it first, then when she didn't bring her baby food, it came to find some and ended up finding the poison, so we think it's dead too...
Other than the mouse, the house is so perfect!!! =D i'm quite excited for Debby to get home, she should be arriving sometime next week! Only for a couple days til she leaves again on an Alaskan cruise, so cool! =) she'll be back for September though, and Shayani will be moved in too for September, so i'm quite excited to see what God has planned for the four of us!!! =D
As for MFC, things are going well! I'm pretty sad that with this week there's only two weeks left of kids club, and only a week left after that! =( but the kids have been amazing for the most part, i'm really gonna miss them! =( as well as seeing the staff everyday, they're so awesome!
And i'm still working at Smitty's, Sundays @ 3, Mondays @ 5, Thursdays @ 4... And i'm heading there now actually so I will perhaps blog some more later... Ciao! =)

5 More Days! =D
So, five more days til i'm officially moved! =D man, a month ago I thought this would never come, but it went by really fast! Everything is packed except for one more box of last minute stuff, my room is painted, I have the keys and the alarm code, all is set! =D
I am soooooo super excited to be finally MOVING!!!! =D lol I was telling the kids club kids about it today at lunch, and one of them was like, :aren't you scared?" and I was like "no actually i'm really excited!" and she was like "but... You'd be by yourself... Aren't you scared?" and really, i'm not at all! When I think about being outta my mom's house, living with three other people, two of which I only met when shayani and I went to look at the house, I cannot WAIT!!! =D
I know that this is what is right, this is where God is leading me, there is no doubt in my mind! Things just came together all too easily for it to have been all a coincidence... And so why should I be scared? With things the way they are between my mom and I, i'm okay with not living with her, and I AM 21 so it's about time to leave the nest anyways... I've been ready for moving out for a long time now, but couldn't afford it... I had to wait on God's perfect timing, and I truly believe it is time. =)
As for kids club, things are going great! =D last week was really tough, the kids just wouldn't listen and wouldn't cooperate with us, but Flo had a one-on-one chat with the ones causing problems, so today they we're fine. We actually had a lot of fun today! =D we travelled to the Caribbean, we played this super cool way of getting the facts in the morning (we go over facts of where we travel to on Mondays for the game shows we play on Fridays), and in the afternoon we made drums, the kids loved it! The staff loved it too, it was really fun! =) AND buffy came to visit and help out too, it was great to see her! =D
So now i'm off to work at Smitty's... I just got a call back from my mom, tomorrow when I get home from MFC we're gonna start moving my stuff over and she can (finally) get a look at the house! Aaaahhhhhhh i'm so excited!!!!! =D =D =D

It's Getting Close!
Moving day, T minus 13 days!!! =D
Things are getting DONE!!! This weekend I finished packing, except for one more box cuz I had forgotten a bunch of movies and some sandals... And I completely finished spackling and sanding, and I have removed all the lightswitch and plug things, so next weekend i'm ready to paint! =D I LOVE painting, so i'm QUITE excited to get 'er done! =D
So, this week, I have TONS to do! I need to pick up my key from Naomi's parents (Naomi was a house guest for a month), I need to get a hold of Christina to go through the alarm system and stuff AND find a date I can bring my mom down to see the house, I need to call the co-op office to get paint, (side note, I need to call the college about VA letters...), I need to call Granny and thank her for her old couch but let her know that I don't need it and ask her what she wants done with it... And that's on top of my shifts at MFC and Smitty's! plus I SUPER need to clean this house, I haven't done a single thing except dishes and garbage take-out since i've been here, and it really needs to be done...
So, this is gonna be a BUSY week!!! BUT it will all be worth it! I am so super duper excited to move!!!! =D =D =D
Oh yeah, I am also looking for people who would be willing to help me move! =D I officially move in august 1st, and I realise that's the long weekend, but i'm sure I can start moving stuff a couple days before... My mom was thinking Wednesday, cuz that's what works for her... But anybody with a vehicle, preferably a large vehicle such as a van or a pick-up truck, that would like to come help me move, that would be super AWESOME!!! Let me know! =D

"What Do I Know of Holy?" Addison Road
I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were might to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life it's name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
