32 more sleeps :O

Oh my where does the time go? I only have one more month remaining in Minneapolis(Minnesota)...32 sleeps to be exact.

I am feeling mixed emotions about this. I am excited to go and be in Mission for almost a week afterwards and reconnect with people and I am excited to see people in Camrose. But I am sad about leaving the office. I am going to miss Carmen, Heidi, Deb and others. I am also going to miss people from the Ask for the Nations group. Sometimes I just wish I could do everything I want to.

For a faithful reader

Ok so the last summer I was privileged to live with the Walsh's in Grande Prairie. For those of you who don't know them they are my Honorary God Parents. You see I was baptized at 16 and didn't have God parents so last year I decided to make the Walsh's them. I went to Bible School with their daughter Sarah and also to India.

Anyways they have this dog named Charlie. Who Brenda(the mom) loves and he is her baby. Charlie gets special treatment. So at first I was unsure about Charlie. Charlie is not the brightest dog on the block. If you knock on the window and say "Where's the Kitty?" He runs and jumps up on the couch and looks out the window. It is absolutely hilarious. You can do it over and over and he falls for it like every time. The thing is Frank(the Dad) is the one who encouraged me to do it but the rest of the family hated it and used to get mad. So finally I stopped doing it even though it was so funny. Frank always tried to encourage me to do it and get me in trouble.


So this is Charlie. He is pretty cute. I loved him by the time I left. He even slept in my room a few times. We bonded when the family was out of town.


Isn't he super cute?

Life

So I just spent the last half hour making changes to my blog. Like finally adding the links of the blogs I actually read and things like that. I figured if I could do that I could at least write a new post.

I am to a discovery on friday night....I am getting OLD...I know I am not really that old but I am getting older we all are it is just a fact but I think sometimes we don't even realize it. It's like when you seen family friends in a long time and then they see you and they are shocked at by how old you have gotten and I wonder why are they shocked? Their kids have gotten older also. I think because when we see the person getting older it is less of a shock. One day I'll wake up and be 40 :O

So I was at this Bible study things on Friday night with a bunch of people I hadn't me before. Most of them were close to me in age but one or two were about 4 years younger. I noticed it a little bit. But it really hit me when this one girl who looked like she could be in High School said she works at a school I don't remember if she was teacher or what she was. I thought to myself here is this girl who I thought was much younger than me but most likely it maybe two years or so younger and she has a career. I am turning 24 this year and do I have a career? NO What the heck am I doing? I know that not having a career doesn't make me any different but it did make me think What am I doing with my life?

TV's at Gas Stations?

These photos are from the trip to Fargo at the end of January. I had never seen TV's at the gas pump before. What do people not get enough chances to watch TV? or is pumping gas really that boring that you need to be entertained for the three minutes? What do you think?



PS. Heidi Thanks for posing :D

Walsh you will love this....

Shrove Tuesday

So I was sitting at my desk on tuesday morning and I was thinking oh today is Shrove tuesday. I am not going to get to have pancakes. Then I decided to e-mail Heidi who is upstairs at her desk and ask her if she wants to have pancakes for lunch since it is Shrove tuesday. She says yes. She asks more about Shrove tuesday most people in the office had no idea what I was talking about. She happened to kind of know because she had heard it somewhere recently. I did some research on Shrove tuesday and figured out it was originally a British thing which explains why Canadians do it but Americans do not.

So we had lunch and enjoyed some yummy food. We had delicious pancakes made by a combined effort. Heidi mixed the batter and I cooked them. We also had some very good fried potatoes/hashbrowns that I made. Of course we had bacon and I would have to say Heidi is the best bacon cooker around it was so delicious.

Here are some pictures below so you get the idea. Unfortunately they aren't taken by me. Right after we had finished eating and were cleaning up I was like shoot I should of brought my camera so I could of blogged about it. Next time I will try not to forget it.




Have a great day.
