My birthday!

I honestly can't believe I'm 24. Somehow, it just seems alot older than 23. I'm entering the realm of the "middle 20 somethings" (as quoted from a friend). Shhh....all those of you who are older. I know it's not old...but somehow it feels as though I need to start being more mature...haha....or not! Anyways, it was very enjoyable. I had dinner with the Richards on the night of my b-day, a hearty singing of Happy Birthday by the girls in the locker room, yummy brunch on saturday with some friends from school and I'm heading to Banff next weekend. When do I do my homework you ask? (Good question!...I need to figure that out myself). So here's some pics from the festivities.

I think it might be a little cold out!

A little something for the new year

A friend sent me this quote in an email yesterday and I thought it was appropriate for the new year and challenged me in how I live my life.

Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.......

Leave the rest to God

Christmas holidays!

Hello everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Mine definately a much-needed, greatly-enjoyed and relaxing (but sick!) break. I figured I should post before life starts getting totally hectic again. My break mostly consisted of visiting with family (on Mom and Dad's side), going to Seattle for a few days, visiting with good friends, celebrating the greatest gift, the Lord Jesus Christ, and doing alot of vegging as well. For the second week, my parents brother and I headed to Seattle to take our grandparents to the airport and to take a bit of a break. While we were down there we went and saw the Nutcracker and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Nutcracker was cool and the Dead Sea Scrolls were amazing to say the least. It just blows my mind that these are original copies of what we read in the Old Testament. What was really cool was that one of the most preserved sections was Isaiah 53. For me, it was just one more piece of evidence that what I believe about Jesus Christ is actually true!

I also went to see Handel's Messiah performed, to Body Worlds (where was this when I was studying for exams, I ask you???), and to the beach (yes, the beach!). It was cold, but somehow, coming back from Edmonton and -25 C weather, it didn't seem so bad and was actually really pretty at night with all the lights set up. So here is just a summary in picture form of my holidays. Enjoy!




Well, for some weird reason, blogspot is not leting me load any more pics so you'll just have to wait! Until next time...
