Oh, yes.




The Travelling Nurse

Emily is headed off to Africa! She'll be joining a team of other nursing students from Trinty Western University in Zambia. I hardly get to see Emily in a month let alone in 3 and something weeks, but it feels like forever with her so very far away. Please keep my little sister (who is definately NOT little anymore... might be more grown up than me!) in your prayers this month. I LOVE YOU EMILY.

Weekend Bliss

Kelsey: lookin' all pro...
Me: lookin' kinda rediculous!

Priscilla: this is her most serious of all serious faces.

Duane: pretty much showed all of us up.
I honestly love weekends, especially those that are busy... hanging out with friends and especially when we can be in the sun. Yesterday a bunch of us went and checked out Spidey3... and I've got say: I was so not a fan. There were several instances during the movie where Duane and I would like at each other as if to say... are they serious? Sooo corny, soo predictable. I mean, sure it was entertaining, but in my opinion, they really bit the bullet with this one. Anyways, afterwards we grabbed some food and played a couple rounds of pool. Let's just say, pool is not one of my strong talents. In fact, I think while the guys were busy picking out songs, Priscilla and I attempted to break about 5 times. Each attempt fell short of actually separating the balls. Never the less, we enjoyed ourselves, the ultimate object of the game.
Today was just glorious though, I am loving this amazing weather. We (the young adults from my church) all ate our lunch outside. The youth group was serving soup and buns as a fundraiser for a mission trip. After we are all done eating, the guys (sometimes I'm not sure how old they really are) starting roughing each other up a bit. They didn't see the cop car coming down the street and kept on wrestling. It was very amusing when the cop pulled over to make sure nothing serious was going on, we asked if he could take a couple of them off our hands. They seriously didn't believe us though when we first told them the cop was coming. I am thinking we could have had a little more fun with that one if we had been a bit quicker.

After that we all bought a couple buckets of balls at the driving range and had at her. Just like pool... golf, not really me. I love hitting that ball, it just never goes as far as I would like it to. I know I must have the most outrageous stance. I'll have to work on that. But the best part of the day was when we played some beach volleyball at Millenium park this afternoon. We could not have asked for better weather, it was just perfect being out in the sun. Luckily, volleyball I can play, and LOVE. So, despite the pound of sand that I took home in my pants, it was an awesome day hanging out. One thing I find very amusing about the past couple days is finding out about all these hidden talents of Duanes. He's the sort of guy that doesn't like to compete at anything, but seems to be good at everything. Which as you might know, makes me oober jealous. Or, I should just enjoy the fact that I don't have to worry about showing up my own boyfriend at everything. But, as you can well imagine, I'll be (not so) secretly on the search for something!

Erika & Kevin




Friday afternoon, usually sitting in traffic waiting to get home. This weekend, I took the drive out to Three Hills to meet up with Steph, we were off to Erika and Kevin's wedding. It was such a beautiful night, Erika looking stunning, and you could not stop either of them from smiling. All together the night was amazing, and it was so good hanging out with Steph. We rented a room in Three Hills where the reception was held, so it was a very relaxing night for the both of us. I got to meet one of Erika and Steph's friends from Trinity Western, Dave, and the three of us had a blast sitting together at the reception.


Erika, congratulations, your are finally married!! We will most definately miss you here, but I wish you and Kevin all the best!

John Mayer Saturday




So... these pictures are only a week late. Forgive me. Too many things are going on, but that means enjoyable things. I tend too get caught up in it all and hence this little site being neglected. It's usually a good sign when I don't write, promise. But here are some pics from the John Mayer concert in Edmonton last weekend. We had such an awesome day, shopping and relaxing. The best part, of corse, was the concert. John Mayer was so, so, very enjoyable. I definately appreciate his stuff so much more after having seen him live. I was much impressed. And the other shot... that's Leah and I entertaining ourselves. An easy thing to do.
And a little treat on the side? I went and visited Dianna for a couple minutes while we were out doing some shopping, it has been much to long since I've seen that girl. But it was short and very sweet!
