Well hellooo there!!! As I'm writing this i'm actually wondering if anyone will read this because they've probably checked my blog every day or few days since i last wrote and have now given up on it.... so if you read this let me know : )
So, I've been home for 40 days now. Wow that is alot of days. And I've been having a great time. First few weeks I was at home with my mom in Meadow. That was nice. And we even got to go the cabin and while we were there we watched 11 hours of Christy movies. I've never watched that much TV in my life at one time. But its such a good show. And my grandparents from Ontario came up for the past three weeks which I am soo happy I was here for. And I've been hanging out with friends in Meadow again and doing some odd jobs around Meadow. Window washing, staining a shed, painting a fence, painting a room in my mom's house, cleaning my aunt's house, a little bit of childcare and ya, that's pretty much it. Chris came home to visit me and we went swimming in the lake September 21. I really missed swimming in our Saskatchewan lakes so i really wanted to swim no matter how cold it was. And actually it wasn't that bad. We had a great time doing random things at the lake. Then the week before Thanksgiving weekend I went to Edmonton to see my sisters. We got to go to a free photo shoot session and watch the whole third season of Prison Break!!!! I was soo pumped about that! And I got to hang out with my good ol' friend Ang from Bible college. She is great and we went out for Starbucks and to Value Village; our two favorite places to go. On Thanksgiving weekend my whole family was able to get together which was the first time since they came to Africa to see me in May. There were about 16 people at our house for the delicious supper. And on that Saturday night some friends came out and we had fun playing on the bales in the field and had a sweet big bonfire with hotdogs and smores! I miss Bonfires so much!!
Ya, and so now I'm here in Saskatoon for a few weeks staying with Carley.. and actually I'm going to Regina tomorrow to see Helen and Jenny!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooo excited to hang out with them!! It's gonna be a great time.
Im really happy to be in the city again too (Stoon) and seeing Car and Travis and Pam and Cait, and some other friends.
So ya, that's what has been happening in my life lately.
Africa is very much on my heart everyday and I miss it a lot! But I know that I'm hear for a reason, and probaly more than one reason and I know that being back home is a blessing from God and that I need to make the most of being back! And just enjoy being here and not always wishing I was back in Africa. I will be going back, that's for sure. Unsure of the dates yet but I'll definitely post it here when I know : )
