Hello again


Hi everyone,

So life has been a little nuts as usual. But I would be concerned if it wasn't. I am starting to get senioritus bad... and I still have one more term to go. I am just really excited to graduate. Anyway what has the month consisted of... well I took my mom to the hospital again. I told her that this is enough, no more hospital trips! She had appendicitis and needed and emergency appendectomy. She is almost completely recovered now and is doing well. Let's see... I have been skiing a few times, that has been really great. I am reading two great books right now. Sex God by Rob Bell. If you didn't know, I am a Rob Bell groupie. I think he is one of the greatest Christian thinkers of our time. It is a commentary on what it means to be God's creation regarding our sexuality. Fascinating! Also this book I just got called UnChristian. it is a study on today’s generation, gen Y if you will (we have many names), people born from (1984-2002) I think (don’t quote me on those dates). It looks at how people view the church and Christians in particular and why they hold certain views. Anyway, really interesting and I highly recommend both. So I will leave you now. I have more studies to do. Later

After a long Hiatus I am back


So I am back, sorry for the break. I got all bogged down in November and December with the end of the term and projects and a play and then Christmas Break came along and I did not blog once. I was very active and I enjoyed my break a lot though. I went to Calgary and stayed with Jeff and his family. Steve Tomkins was also there. I had an amazing time! I also got to see Rob while I was there.
Christmas was very nice. I got my shopping done early this year, so people got better gifts than in the past and I ended up spending less!!
Josh and Alison came back and I got to go to coffee with them. That was neat.
New Years came and went, it was somewhat uneventful. I went to my neighbor's and they torched their Christmas tree. I guess it is a tradition of theirs. It was amazing how fast that thing went up in flames and how much smoke it threw out! It brought out my inner pyro, who I thought was long since dead.
I am back in school now. I graduate next term!!! So you can all begin the countdown.
Since I both love and hate update letters this is where i will stop. I find them horribly impersonal but, I like to know what is going on in peoples lives. So, I compromise and have given you some of the highlights of the past two months. I promise to post again before March. Oh and the cool bus type thing pictured above has no connection to me other than it was photographed in Oregon.
