It's over it's over it's all over now

So the time has come. Let me start with the last 8 months have gone by so incredibly fast. Eight months ago when I started the 2nd year program I didn't know any of the other 2nd year students but now today 8 months later 2 of my closest friends are from the 2nd year program. I just had to say good bye to one of them and it was really hard plus the fact that she didn't leave right after I said good bye it just kind of dragged out. The other one I have to say good bye to at the airport tomorrow night. Won't that be fun. She has an international flight and I have a domestic flight so won't it be fun for me going through security all red eyed and emotional tomorrow.
This year has been an amazing year of good times and hard times that after going through have brought joy. I don't even really know what else to say how do you sum up 8 months of your life and gaining some of the closest friends you will ever have?

I guess I close with thanks be to God

Reflection on the year

So only 4 more sleeps and 4 1/2 days remain before my life at CLBI ends. I am very sad to say that in just a few short days I will have to say good bye to some incredibly close friends of mine. I have posted some photos below of a few of my favorite memories.

During the few weeks before Christmas there were various decorating challenges. The one day was Nativity scene so 2nd floor got all dressed up and did a live nativity scene it was pretty sweet.

To all of you who helped to make my year at CLBI so amazing..THANK YOU I love you so much.

Coming to the end

Let me start with I hate Alberta Weather. On Tuesday I was in the courtyard with shorts and a t-shirt reading not we have like four inches of slushy snow. Anyways...

So the time has come...Only nine days left of school. I thought leaving CLBI was hard the first time it is going to be even harder this time. This year has been such a great year a time of growing and stretching for me. Yesterday I had my discernment session where myself my d-group leader a staff member of my choice and two close friends met and discussed the answers to the questions I had written. It was a very encouraging and affirming time.

This year I have made some amazing friends that I know I am going to have for the rest of my life. This year there have been many laughs, many jokes and even some tears but I wouldn't go back now and change any of those moments.

I ask that you would pray for all the students right now as this is a hard time as emotions begin to become very strong as the end of the year approaches.

Hopefully I can see some of you over the summer.

heart broken the full story

So yesterday I was in a wedding. There was a cute boy and we danced for like 7 or 8 songs and then he just left and abondoned me on the dance floor. My heart was broken and I was very sad. Who leaves a girl alone on a dance floor just because it is past their bed time?? Ok maybe I should explain I wasn't actually heart broken because the boy was the ring bearer and he was three years old. He was so adorable. He started to like me when we were at photos. He would walk around and hold my hand. He even shared half his candy with me.
At the wedding the bridesmaids were suppose to go and dance when the step dad cut in on the dance of the father with the bride. Problem was there were only three groomsmen and five bridesmaids plus all the groomsmens were married so they had their wives. So I decided to dance with the ring bearer. We danced and then it was time for him to go after we finsihed doing the chicken dance he was so cute. So he left and put his pajamas on and I ended up holding his little brother and we wasn't leaving yet and he saw me holding his brother and came over and led me back onto the dance floor. It was so cute. At one point his grand parents wanted to cut in and I was like "I don't think he will let you cut in" and the lady responded "were his grandparents" and I was like "ok" So his grandma took his hand and I let go of his other one so his grandpa could take it and the little boy(Trevor) dropped his Grandma's hand and took both of mine. It was so adorable. Then after s few more songs it was time for him to go. It was fun.
The wedding ceremory was really good, we took photos at the church inside because it was so cold outside, but I still think they will turn out really good.
That's it for now.
