Back at home!



Ok, so I’m back at home, and it’s been really good to be home! Thanks to everyone who’s made it pretty sweet!  I sure feels busy though, wow. 

I’ve always wanted to blog, and if you remember, I  said that I wanted to keep the travellers mentality and just keep meeting people and doing sweet stuff, and it I’m excited to say it’s been happening.  I hope you’ll enjoy hearing about life at home from time to time.



Highlights of the past 4 days

- Awesomely pranked by some wonderful friends.  Well done ladies, well done!

Boxes and a couch!?
Pretty in pink!
- Having a ton of fun at A&W in Steinbach and talking with the 2 girls working there.  Turns out one of them even went through LDP!  Then, when we left, just to bring a smile to their faces, we went through the drive-through and ordered another burger and showed off my sahweet orange crv!

- Driving my beauty orange CR-V all around! I love love love it!

Can't miss me now!
- Learning a new game at camp days. 

You must pick up the paper with your teeth without anything but your feet touching the floor, and each time the paper tube got shorter. This was the final round!

- Attending pulse and not being able to stop smiling because of how I felt God’s spirit there and being reminded how good he is! I love Tuesday nights!

- Today, hearing someone’s vision for the youth in Morden: It’s like it’s day 7 from the story of the walls of Jericho. For the first 6 they marched around the walls quietly, but on the last day they all yelled and blew the horns and the walls came crashing down. 
Explanation: For many years people have been serving God and working with the youth, but now it’s time to make some noise cuz God is gonna tear down the walls of the evil one in a big way!

I really like the analogy and am excited bout what God’s gonna do!


So yeah, I'm loving being home, lots of sweet God moments and other sweet stuff!

The Last Day! What a party!

“The Last Full Day”

Yet another relaxed day, which is pretty sweet considering once we get home it’s gonna be pretty different.  We slept in, I went for a 6k run and then we had lunch… which got pretty interesting.  I think we’re still suffering from a case of cabin fever. 
Eating from a pool of BBQ sauce on the table lead to...
Stuffing his face with fries covered in BBQ sauce!

We ended up on going on a random trip to town with Cesh, Her mom and Gibby and we looked at mud, played on a stellar playground, ran into Jayden, and just walked around town.

These el Camino-ish car/trucks are everywhere out here!
Such a cool playground!
Cesh and Travis! Couple of beauties!
Riding the Barney Car! Peace!
Roseisle Style!
 Then we went to Cesh’s for supper, and we did the BBQing (pretty stressful!), played rugby with the bros’ and then taught them 500 up.  Packing was the last activity of the day, and surprisingly it all actually fit into our bags with out too much stress.  To celebrate we ate a ton of ice cream. 

Are we living the dream? I think so.  But bring it on Canadian cold, we're (not) ready!  I'm divided, I do love it here and I'll miss some things and def some of the people here, but there's so much back home that I'm looking forward to...so "carpe diem", I'll just take it as it comes! 
See you soon Canada!

My farewell gift to Travis!
