Today, Sunday, what a day!

Well, today is Pastor Mark's and Kim's last day with us. It makes me sad but I'm happy for them. They're headed off to Thailand, to teach English and do Missionary work. Wow! That is amazing. I got to see some people that were in church today home for the holidays. Like Ryan, Mike, Melissa, and Crystal was home from Edmonton. It was cool. It made me happy! I like seeing people I haven't seen in a while. It's like opening a gift of it's own. So tonight I get to go to a christmas party! yeah! I get to see all my High School friends. The ones I hung out with down in the music hall. I'm so excited. I'll post some pictures!! Ok got to go now. Going to church. 6 more sleeps till christmas YEAH!! I'm so excited. I know when I have children this will be the best time of year for me!

ok, Need to finish getting ready. I'll try to blog again tommorow, but I can't promise anything!

Life as I know it right now

Well life is life. I finished my very first University exam yes I know, it is quite an accomplishment. yeah it's hard to believe that I will be starting practically all new courses come January. A few repeat over into second semester (or winter term as some like to say). The exam I did this morning was soc. That was interesting. I did the multiple choice and was like this is awesome. I know practically all of them. Than I hit the short answer. I thought my head would explode. I know I recognized what was being asked but I just couldn't put my finger on the word. I really dislike it when that happens.

Ah, I found out last week that my Youth Pastor and his wife are leaving our church to go to Thailand. I'm excited for them, but I will miss them too. So this will be the 5th youth pastor since I was 13 that has left to do other things. Not that I blame them. I think they made good descisions, but it starts you thinking that there is something wrong with us. Even though I know this is not true!! You still think it. I don't know, maybe it's for the best. LIke I said to Lindsay, maybe the next youth pastor will be single. :) I'm just kidding (or am I).

I've come to realize over the past what month, that I'm older, yes I know that sounds weird but I am. I went to a bar for the very first time last week. (for a christmas party). I'm having reasonable and sane conversations with my mother. Another sign that you are growing up. And we talk about different subjects. Like my love life. Which doesn't exist right now, but it will, it so will!! Plus I started thinking about getting married, and I was like between the age of 20 and 24, and I was like I'll be 20 in less than two years. AH!! It doesn't quite sound right. But than I finally realized I'm okay with that. If I got married in the next few years, I'm really ok with that. I don't need to have my schooling completely finished I just need to be in my fourth year. Yeah I know I"m planning this way too much. But that is okay, cause I know in the next year or two God is sending me someone, and well the rest will be history.

So in other words, I'm ready for life, because life is life, but I can handle it.

Can't wait for Christmas. 17 days till Christmas! It's just so close. I can smell it in the air. Can't YOU??
