:) I know i've gotten lazier on posting :P haha it's just everyday is a routine now and nothing too exciting happens :P

I had my long weekend this weekend so it was nice to be at home and rejuvenate. It was so good to hang out with friends and see fam too :) Yesterday my coworker and I decided to rollerblade to the gym. HAHA! So that's my first time rollerblading! omggg! I thought when we were going down the hill I was going to die. I was holding on to the back of her though so she basically saved my life! The whole way there I was holding on to her and she had to push me at some points too! It was hilarious...we were going up a sidewalk so it's slightly slanted right...I kinda rolled back towards her while she was going up so we collided a bit and I wasn't sure if there was someone recording it on their phone -.- haha it might've just been a old man trying to use his phone. It was really funny tho. I was sweating by the time we got there. It normally takes 5mins to rollerblade there, it took us about 20? haha and the rollerblade cut into me so hard my skin ripped -.-

so I guess that's the most exciting thing from yesterday :P we watched men who stare at goats...hahah it's funny. But ya not much else :)

PS SPAIN TMR!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

We went to a cottage today as a community for supper. We had a BBQ and it was so nice there! makes me wanna have a cottage :P The water was sooo nice and it stretched on forever! It was also so close by. I think we only drove for about 1/2 hour. Yaa I enjoyed that. It would be so nice to go there in the summer and just chill and swim and have a bonfire :D

uhm...it's been an amazing time since I last blogged tho! I had my long weekend from the 20-23. It was nice cuz everytime I have my time away I don't feel like it's enough. You get settled into holiday mood and then you have to go back to work...so long weekend was nice :) aaand I saw iron man 2 which was awesomee!

on Monday there was a party at a retirement home where some past members had moved to. We didn't do much, just had cake and pop :) that night some assistants came over and we played Yahtzee! haha it was funn

Tuesday was SO much fun! During the afternoon, some assistants and I went canoeing and paddle boating on the Avon River. It was such a nice time! We went under a fountain and got soaked which felt so nice cuz it was so hot but the water is so disgusting! It smells so bad!! hahaha it was fun tho. We had forum that night so it was a community event and that night Maria came back from her vacation :)

on Wednesday the assistants got together again and we played soccer. hahaha I CANNOT play soccer! It was so embarassing! I had so many opportunities to score and goal and I still missed! hahaha BUT the nets were smaller!!! haha it was fun tho but SO hot! We played at a field behind Zehrs so we went in to buy some popsicles afterwards :P then we decided to chill on the patio sets in front of Zehrs! hahaha there were just the perfect number of seats and we just sat there till we had to go back to work!

then it was Thursday again!!! Which meant I got my time off :) I went to Toronto to visit mama q and had an awesome time! :) I have found my favourite store! :D :D :D :D

Long weekend this week! :D It'll be nice to have a longer break :) Today was really nice. I had a great day with the core members. The one who is usually more difficult was in a very good mood. She was so happy the whole day. It was so nice to spend time with her :)

I took a nap during my 3 hours today. Yesterday some assistants came over and we just hung out and chatted until almost 2:30am >< haha it was fun though :) we tried to play cards but failed cuz we didn't all know one game or we didn't have enough cards :P It was a busy day yesterday. We had a meeting in the morning and worship at night. During my time away I went to McD!! I planned on going to William's cuz I have a free cake coupon but I walked to a Will's closer to my house andit was so small it had absolutely nothing! McDs was close so I went and they had $1 coffees!! :D That was awesome! I also had a craving for their fries so I got fries and ice cream :P So bad I know but soo good!

I was planning on baking some cupcakes now but I don't feel like it anymore haha. Maybe I'll do it when I come back :P

a fun and simple day =]

Today was really fun! :D We had a formation meeting in the morning and so after me and 3 other assistants went to eat lunch and hang out. There's this hot dog place...AMAZING! It totally reminds me of the 80s. There's no place to sit inside so you just order at the window and they make it for you. There are benches outside so you could eat there instead. They are known for their foot long dogs, known as the 'foot long headquarters'. Anyway it was pretty good. It was like a trucker stop y'know...truckers driving for a pit stop! haha Me and 2 other assistants were wearing plaid too! (totally not planned!) After the footlong dogs we went to a playground! Man I have not had so much fun on a playground since elementary school I think! We went on the swings, the teetor totters, the monkey bars and we played grounder for an hour! It brought back so many fun memories where we actually went outside and played!!! haha it was awesome! We went to get slushies afterwards and sat by the lake for a bit. I haven't had such nice simple fun for awhile so I really enjoyed it! :D

Besides that, nothing too exciting :P I banged my shin on the slide so it's bruised and painful. I also found out today that my wisdom teeth are growing out -.- I thought I got lucky and didn't have to deal with it but I've been having this pain on my gums for awhile. At first I was thinking maybe I wasn't brushing well but today I could feel my teeth coming out. I'm so scared and totally not looking forward to having to get them pulled. I'm such a wimp when it comes to things like this. Hopefully by a miracle, I'll have enough room for it to grow! ><

We also had ribs tonight. which I did not make but totally thought i'd mention cuz they were delicious! :D

OH and I've been watching dancing with the stars every week now cuz that's the only thing that's good on tv... and I really like Evan Lysacek. that is all. :D

I went to a catholic church today. It was pretty interesting...very different from what i'm used to and comfortable with. Their worship were hymns and for communion, people go up individually. The priest also wears a long white robe and he reads, there is dialogue between the congregation. It was a little uncomfortable because they give so much respect to the priest and the cross. They bow and when the priest stands up, the whole congregation also does. There are 2 children that carry candles and follow the priest. People also kneel down on the ground when the priest prays...it was a very different experience for me. It got me thinking though. I mean, ya the way the service ran was nothing like i've experienced before, but why is there always this seperation between Catholics and Christians? We all worship the same God and believe in the same thing. We read the same Holy Bible!

The message today was about being bold, being light and being different. It struck me because I have heard this sermon many times. The only difference is that my pastor says as Christians we need to be able to show God's love to the world instead of as Catholics. I mean, I don't know deeper stuff or details, but Catholics and Christians all worship the same God. Just as all churches and fellowships are part of the body of Christ. It kills that there are always tension and argument going between churches and within churches. We're all part of the same God.

Anywayy that's my schpeel :) They are also all dressed very nicely haha good thing I wore a skirt :) I got to sleep in till 9 this morning! It was awesomeee! :D:D I also went on an hour long walk with a core member. It exhausted me and I fell asleep on the couch for like 10 minutes >< haha it was ok tho :) Tomorrow will be a busy day so the more sleep the merrier :)
