I almost forgot to tell you
So...Travis, Justin, and Mike were going into town on Monday to get their earspierced since they all had the day off. Well, actually, Mike already has an earring so he was just going along for support and to make sure they actually did what they talked about doing. I wanted to go along to watch. :) So, we left, and we met Mike and Justin at the mall. Of course they didn't want to get their ears pierced at Claires so first I went around the mall seeing if there was somewhere else...there wasn't. So then I went into Claires to ask if they knew anywhere besides the mall...they took out the phonebook so I just found my own phonebook and took numbers down. Mike called the places...but they were all closed. So if the guys wanted to get their ears pierced that day, the only option was Claires. We (Mike and I) were able to talk them into it. So first I went in to make sure they could actually do it before the guys all came in. Then I came back with all these guys and the girls knew right away.
The girl that pierced their ears was very talkative...she had many stories to tell about her life...and she lived in Sexsmith which gave her something else to talk about...sometimes I looked away so I could sneak in a couple giggles. It was good because that way we didn't sit in silence...ever. More comfortable.
So the guys got their ears pierced...one in each ear for both of them. Mike asked if I was going to get mine. I said I thought about it, I've wanted the top of my ear pierced for a long time but I wasn't sure if I should or could. Once the guys got their earspierced they bought something to eat, so we were sitting outside of Claires in the foodcourt. They were telling me I should get it done. Mike asked if I'd flip a coin, so...heads I go, tails I don't. So I got the top of my right ear pierced. And...I was wondering...it doesn't mean any thing right? Like...apparently if a guy gets one earing and it's in a certain ear it means he's gay (I don't know what ear that is exactly). I don't think it means anything for girls. Hopefully not. If it does...whatever it menas it's not true for me :D Just thought I'd clarify that! But...ya...I was very excited once I did it. It hurt just as much as the other holes did. So whenever people say it hurts way more, they are wrong. But then maybe it's different for each individual person. :) There is my story. Take care! :D

A Snowy Day in the Month of May
It is a snowy day and it is the month of may...and we have a baby in our house today too!
It's not snowing anymore, but when I woke up, it was snowing! And it's May! I just can't get my mind wrapped around the fact...wrapped, rapped?...wrapped I think is right in this context. Correct it in your head if I'm wrong! Don't tell me to look it up in the dictionary either, I'd rather guess and be wrong :) Anyway...I say it's because we complained about the snow earlier in the year so then God's like "I'll show you! Muahahaha." That's what I think. God likes to joke...right? Maybe that's all it is. And it's not like the snow sticks. In a few days it'll be warm again...right God? I don't know. I hope though.
And...yes, we have a baby in our home today! His name is Matthew. Audrey and Earls son. He's blind in one eye. He's turning one soon. He's so little though. He crawls but not with his legs. He's doing the whole arm stretch and grab and pull thing...dragging his legs behind him. He's cute though. He loves to be held, he doesn't like being alone. I like that, because that means I can hold him all day long! He likes to be held facing outward, but it's cute cause every once and a while he turns his head as much as he can and looks out of the corner of his eye at you...seeing who is holding him. HE'S SO CUTE! :) Sometimes holding a baby just makes you feel so good. This is one of those times.
We have an annoying dog staying at our house too...but she's gone tonight...hopefully. Bella, the Plett's dog...ya...she's annoying. I no longer like young, small dogs. I forget what they are called...but you know those brown, smart dogs from Lamb Chops Play Along? I like those dogs. They are big and smart, they are pretty dogs. I don't know if I'll ever get one though.
Honestly, I'm not even sure why I'm writing about all this, maybe there is a reason. But for now I'm just writing and telling for the sake of writing and telling.
I have an interview at Reitman's tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. I'm excited. But I know I'm not the only one being interviewed tomorrow, so I'm kinda nervous. I just gotta relax, be honest, and do my best...that's all I can do. If I'm relaxed everything else should be okay and it'll come natural. You can pray for me if you feel like it. It would help...as God always does.
I always forget I can change the time to the write time that I actually wrote a blog. So there, the time has been changed. :) See you guys!

For you PRBI Lovers...
I mean those who love PRBI, they started taking out the windows of the guys dorm a couple days ago...Tuesday to be exact. Part of me wanted to cry because I've seen the dorms that way my whole life. The other part of me was excited because they really need renovating...however that is spelled. So, you tell me which emotion won? I'll just tell you I didn't cry. :D I smiled, tried to look back and watch while I was walking on the road. Luckily I didn't change my direction at all, I'm good at walking in a straight line while looking back ;). I'm also good at not thinking before I look behind me. Nothing happened, but it could have. Does anyone have stories when they were younger about looking back at your parents and then walking into a wall? I just remembered that as I was talking. My parents love telling stories like that. I never thought I'd get embarassed by my parents sharing stories about me when I was a baby. But a few weeks ago I remember my parents telling my uncle and aunt a story (I don't remember which one), and I was embarassed! And they're my family, no need to be embarassed...ANYWAY. What a silly thing to blog about...haha.
PRBI, yes, I miss it. I miss it so much! I was doing okay until I saw Jody and Kat at West Ed. Then I missed everything, but I was satisfied, because I didn't have to do homework with Jody. Instead, I could just walk down a busy mall and shop for gifts for people or just look. It was great. We had fun! I wish I could fly up to Regina, I wish I had lots and lots of money. I would fly to Regina, Vancouver, and stay at each place for like 2 weeks! But...I'm only going to Seattle...which is coming up! And boy am I ever pumped! SOOO PUMPED! I'm not going to camp, but I'm working (which seems to be the only other option people give you in a conversation of "So what are you doing this summer, camp, working...what?" Sorry to the people I have done that to. I don't think it's a bad thing, because those are the common things Christian kids do in the summer. Makes sense to include them in the question. Maybe. Ya. Alright. This is how I write in my journal, I come with one topic thinking it will only be like a page but I end up writing 3-5 pages blabbing about other things. I don't erase it, because I think it is in my personality to blab about pointless things. I find it entertaining myself :)
Ashley is in Mexico for those of you who know her. She's doing well by the sounds of it. For the first couple weeks I guess there wasn't much for them to do at the base so they were just playing cards. They are supposed to be doing stuff now, some stuff planned by a guy who was at the YWAM base last year when they went. He's gonna help them find ways to help. So pray that they do find something, that they have somewhere to stay, and that they work together well. They are together everyday for a long time. :) Pray for their friendship to be awesome while they are there, and to continue when they come back. :) And...pray for Mexico! Lots of missionaries are there. My parents went there the two weeks I was gone right? They helped out at a dump. They saw a bunch of kids locked up in a cage while their parents went to work, they saw where these people lived...garbage all around. Anyway, there are many missionaries there, handing out water and...I forget what else they handed out...sandwiches maybe? Anyway, they are trying to help. My parents talked to some Mexicans about it at their resort, and apparently one guy said they shouldn't help them, because if they were really in need they would make the effort. He says they are just lazy, that they could have a house and food if they wanted. Another lady they talked to who has some friends who live at the dump said that they are helping them a great deal by going down there. So, with mixed feelings about it, my parents went. I think all they needed was one person telling them it was good. Their hearts were there. Soo...ya. I admire my parents. I just hope we can start letting our heart poor out to the homeless people we see in Grande Prairie, maybe they are lazy too, but maybe we're doing good handing out water and sandwiches to them to? We could do it...but we don't...how come? Maybe I'll talk to my parents about it...maybe our church could do something...I don't know. Ha, that just sort of came out. I guess I'll be praying, if you want to join me...:) I would love it! Take care everyone. I love you all! :D

Start of Summer
So much has happened this past year. I just finished my first year at PRBI and man did it ever go faaaaaast! I can't believe I'm making up my first REAL resume for a new job that I've never experienced before...nor do I have experience. It's at the hospital...now I haven't even applied yet...but I am excited! I hope I get this job. My Aunt told me about it. An O.R Sterile Processor...sterilizing the machines or "instruments" as they call them. Stinkin' pumped! Another thing that is new...I'm going to Edmonton in a week! My parents are gone to Mexico for 2 weeks and I don't want to be home alone. So I'm taking the opportunity given to go to Edmonton to visit everyone I've been missing. Mostly just a couple of friends I met through Joe...I don't think it'll be hard...I think it'll be fun! First I meet with Coral for a couple of days (my PRBI Care Leader of year one)! That reminds me...I'm being Rachel Ryckman's Care Partner next year (most likely on floor 2)!!! I'm so pumped! I'm so excited! This is like a "Hallelujah!" moment. I can't wait. And I'm pretty sure I'm getting a freshman roommate, and I'm pretty sure I'm nervous. All the people I know from this year (except Rachel) are gonna be on different floors or aren't coming back. As far as we know, things could chance easily...very easily. Who knows! But I am ready for a stretch, and by the looks of it that is exactly what's gonna have to happen next year. But I have all summer to pray and prepare and change. I really hope I change. Change is good!
I've started unpacking, and in order to do so I've been moving things around, packing things up and throwing things away. I've been holding on to too many memories...God gave me a memory I do not need temporal things to help remind me. So finally I'm getting rid of silly old things. I like art. I'm getting into art...work. As in...paintings and drawings, and of course...music. But music is a different kind of art...it's more like...poetry. I don't know. But...this is a big step for me, letting go of memories. I've been clinging on to too many temporal things. Time to let go and move on. I'm even closing up some old pictures...putting them in boxes. It's really quiet exciting. I have so much extra space now! But..I haven't finished unpacking either. I'm sure I'll find all kinds of treasures as I unpack. I'm gonna start that later today.
Man I miss PRBI! As soon as I started to unpack I just wanted my room back. I wished my room was designed the same way as my room at PRBI. I want a roommate, preferably the same one I had, and I want all my friends to be standing around in my hallway that goes from my room, past the bathroom, and spreads outward as you get closer to the kitchen and living room. I want to sit at a table full of 2nd floor girls and laugh as we did. I want all that back. But this is how the year goes. This is life...and I'll see them all in heaven which will come sooner than I think or am prepared for.
Seattle is coming fast too...like...3 months! WOW! So stinkin' fast!
Okay...so I wish I had more pictures on my computer of people at PRBI, but sadly those are all on my laptop and will probably take me all summer to transfer onto my home computer...not sure that I want to bother. We'll see how much time I have on my hands.
I'll try to keep you all posted about the job I'm applying for...and Seattle when it comes...and everything else going on in my life that I maybe forgot to post.
You all take care k?
