New Job

http://www.aquatera.ca/

Hey everyone so I thought I would tell you more about my new job now that is official. I got a job working for Aqua Tera. Working at there landfill location ie. the dump. Now before any of you begin to laugh at me you can only laugh if your making more than 15.81 an hour because that is what I will be making and then you can only laugh if you don't have education for the job you are working in. Also the contracts are under negotiation and will be re-voted on next week and it looks like we will be getting a $2.00 pay increase. Which means I would be making $17.81 and if you work on weekends it's an extra dollar an hour. Another bonus is the guy has the schedule made up way in advance so I would know my days off for the summer. There are three summer positions on the schedule and I am hoping for a certain one because then I will only need to take like one day off for Carolyn's wedding.

life in GP

hey so I have arrived in GP...it has been pretty sweet...looks like I have a job but will wait until I sign the contract before I post...all is well....

so...

i think i need to get married and buy a house. wait a minute who says i need to be married to buy a house. i just need to buy a house so i can quit moving things around all the time it is getting so annoying. too bad i don't see it stopping anytime in the near future. i just wish all my stuff could be in one spot. currently it's in three spots. some still at clbi. some in calgary and the rest still here in creston and soon i am going to take some of it when i move but only very little. so frustrating.

BIG NEWS

I AM MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the pain

hey so I confess I had some pain and did cry a little bit today. When the dentist finished my teeth at 2 he said I am going to prescribe some T 3's and you should take them in the next hour before the freezing is gone. So I go and get the secretary to call my mum and there is no answer. Finally we get a hold of her and she comes and gets me. I get home at 2:30 and should be taking my T 3's anytime now. So my mum goes back to the dentist to pay him and get my prescription. So 3:30 rolls around and my mum is still not home then it's 3:50 she is still not home and my freezing is basically all gone and I am starting to feel a lot of pain. Then she finally comes home at like 4:15 and at this point I had been crying for like five minutes. So she comes in and is asking me whether I want to take my antibiotics or the pain killers and I was like just give me the pain killers. So she gave me 2 T3's. Then Sarah call and we had a short conversation after which I fell asleep for 2 hours. It was a really good sleep. :) Then when I work up just before 7 my mum told me to take another T 3 and I was like it hasn't been 4 hours it had actually only been 2 1/2 but she was like take it now before the other one wheres off so I did. Then I was pretty hungry so I ate some yogurt and was still hungry. So my dad went and got me cottage cheese and I ate that. But I was still hungry so then I ate some potatoes. Then just a little while ago I had some ice cream. Cause I only had two teeth removed both on the same side I am able to eat a little bit. I Should go to bed soon and take another T 3 and put the ice pack on my cheek again to help prevent swelling. Hopefully I am feeling better tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers.

done

hey so i just got home from the dentist. i am feeling pretty good but my mouth is still really frozen. he took out the top and the bottom on the left side. my mum has gone to pay the bill and to talk to the dentist and pick up my t3's. so i might be out of it for a few hours. please pray that I will heal quickly and my stitches won't rip

Wisdom Teeth

So over the last few months of CLBI I knew that my wisdom teeth needed to be removed. So when I got to Creston my mum made me a dentist appointment and I paid the dentist like 90 bucks to tell me what I already knew. The teeth have to come out. So they may a appointment for June 25th and july 4th and said if we get a cancellation we will call you. So just after 8 this morning the dentist office called and asked if I wanted to come in at 1 today. I said ok I might as well get it over with. So today I am going to get 2 teeth removed. If you read this before can you please pray for the procedure if you read it after can you please pray for my recovery. I am not being knocked out for this. I wish I was being knocked out and they were taking all four. But I need to call the dentist and see if we is just planning on freezing me and if that is the case then my mum is going to give me half of one of her "happy" pills. These are the pills she uses before she goes to the dentist because she hates going to the dentist. Thanks for your prayers. I will post again when I can.

ride again

So I decided to go on the bike ride again today it was my idea this time. In the first two minutes I was regretting this decision it was very sore sitting on the seat of the bike. It was also a harder ride today because I was so sore from the ride on Monday. But it was fun for the last part of the ride because my sister and I were able to ride beside each other and talk. I am still trying to figure out of the details of my summer and I should know more about that in the next week.

my life so far

So I have been having a little fun here in Creston. Yesterday I woke up and realized that my parent's lawn was really long so I thought I would mow it. So after finding the shed key I got the weed eater out and did that all around the lawn. I went back into the shed and had to avoid being stung by bees and got the lawn mower out. I then realized there was no gas. So I took the Jerry can and walked to the gas station and got some gas. I then came home and proceeded to mow the lawn. I had some problems with the mower so it took forever and I eventually got it done. Then in the afternoon my sister called and asked if I wanted to go for a bike ride but I told her my bike was broken and then she called back and told me I could ride Brad's. So we set off biking. Brad was on his Rollerblades and Carolyn and I biked. The ride was just over an hour which numerous inclines we rode to the golf course and then my dad picked us up. It was a 15km bike ride and had we biked all the way back to my house it would of been another 8km with a massive hill at the end.

THIS IS KIND OF THE VIEW I HAD ON MY BIKE RIDE

Then this morning my job was to paint the deck. That took a couple of hours because I had to go around all the edges by hand and then paint with a roller. It would of been faster had I not been talking on the phone at the same time. The color is a little off but I warned my dad and told him but he said that's ok paint it anyways. It should of been like a Burgundy red but it got painted fire truck red. Then this afternoon I spent over an hour cleaning the kitchen. I did all the dishes which were few I just basically loaded and unloaded the dishwasher. Then I washed the counters, walls, and cupboards. My mum was pretty impressed I think Greg would of been to.

That's my life so far in the last couple of days

Scary Flight

So today I flew from Vacouver to Cranbrook. I usually like to act all tough but the flight today was scary. I don't think it helped that we were flying on the same type of plane as pictured above. We were approaching Cranbrook when it felt like he went over a massive bump. My stomach felt like it was on a roller coaster. We then got bumped around by the wind. Let me tell you I didn't really enjoy it. I heard from others who have flown into Cranbrook that this is common. Hopefully I don't have to experience that type of flight again anytime soon.

Leaving Mission

So I have been in Mission the last week visiting friends and tonight I fly to Cranbrook to stay with my parents for two weeks. The week has been good, going shopping, and just hanging out. It has also bee kind of a hard week as it is the first week being gone from CLBI. Which means I have spent alot of time on facebook and MSN. How is eveyone else dealing wtih not being at CLBI? I know am not the only one checking my MSN and facebook alot. How is everyone doing?

Grad Photos

Me and Natashia. As you may notice we aren't wearing any shoes. That is because Natashia, Sarah and I decided to walk down the aisle for grad barefoot. We left our shoes at the pew at the back of the church. We said it was in memory of our time in India.

Natashi, Kjel, Me and Sarah W. The four of us were a group in India. We taught together and went to Gospel Meetings together.

Me and Sarah. For some reason whenever Sarah and I take pictures together it looks like she doesn't want to be in them.

Me and my "roommates" Lennae and Natashia. I wasn't actually there roommate but I spent enough time there I could of been.

Being gone from CLBI hasn't gotten any easier. The internet helps to stay in touch but yet it also makes it harder. Knowing your friends are sad or depressed and there isn't much you can do about it is really annoying. I wish I could just be there to give them a hug.
