All by myself!!
Basically a lot has changed. I moved out on my own on May 1st and I am LOVING not living with my parents anymore. There's something about being independant that is far to exciting even though it's a tad terrifiying at the same time... and yet the exciting out weighs the terrifying. Yes I have bills to pay, and I have to feed and take care of myself, but I'm loving every moment of it. Sometimes it feels like vacation, like any minute I'm going to have to go home and live with my parents again.. and i hope that doesn't happen. I don't think after living on my own I could go back to living with my parents again.
My friend from Heather is planning on being my roommate which is awesome because 1) I can see us getting along and her helping me stay positive and happy..2) financial break! only pay half the rent! Things are looking up in that department.
Like I siad I'm not really in the mood to type.
All I'm gonna leave you with is...
Erin, Josh and Becky are all leaving winnipeg and that makes me sad.
Robbie has his baby and that makes me happy.
The new school year is going to be interesting.
I'm going to camp ass for 2 weeks and that excites me.
I am now 21, and Don't feel any different.
I'm bored out of my mind.

Just because I suck at blogging
I'm all moved in and absolutely loving living on me own. Money is super tight right now but I think I can handle it. Its only for a few months anyways.
I got my confirmation that I will be indeed be working at camp assinaboia for two weeks and I'm SUPER excited about that. I love the kitchen.
Things are good.

Sunday is a coming...
When Sam died I decided that I had to move out soon and made a goal to save enough money for September to move out. I also heard that a girl from Saskatchewan that I know from camp and retreats and all that joy was planning on moving here and had no idea where she was going to stay. This seemed like the perfect opportunity for both of us to get what we needed. I needed a roommate and she needed a place to live. So we talked and she seems pretty psyched on the idea.
Things progressed, soon I had everything I needed, kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, furniture and was on waiting lists for a few places I wanted to live. Then I got a message from a woman in my church who owns an apartment building and has an opening for May first. I went with my parents to look at the place and I decided to jump on it. So in May I will be moving into my very own place. I'm sooo excited. It's a 2 bedroom for only 685 and it's a really big size. I'm going to live there on my own until my friend comes here, which it's looking like she may come late august now instead. I'm just soo excited and hoping that it all works out.
Summer shut down is coming up and I decided I'm going to apply with camps with meaning and see if I can work at Camp Assinaboia for the two weeks because I miss it SO much. I figure I can't go to staff training and I don't really want to counsel so this is my opportunity to serve God in my own way. Plus everyone will be gone for the missions trip and so it's great timing.
Other than that work is good and life is all together good. I am so thankful to God for what he is doing and I'm praying everything keeps working out.

burnout memories
The relationships in this group are just dazzling it me, well not dazzling but the friendships are just so unconditional. One minute they're in a fight about a compeltely logical thing and then they forget about it because it's just not worth it to them.
Basically this reminds me of my grade 12 year. I left my normal crowd, or they left me, I'm still not completely sure on that one, and I started hanging out with a group of friends that was quite different. I'm not syaing they were burnouts.... well i'm sure they did do drugs but they welcomed me with open arms for no apparent reason. They let me eat with them and talk to them and hang out with them at spare.They were genuinely kind to me.
So tonight after I finished the last episode of the season I started thinking about these people were were so kind to me. I went looking through my year books and my grad pictures and not nostalgic
So basically this is me saying I miss them alot and hope I can see or talk to them soon!

3. Even though i probably will see the movie i will beg you to tell me what happens because I want to know what to expect
4. I often don't like people in my bubble. it takes a very long time between when i meet you to when i'll hug you. I barely like sitting on the couch next to my eldest brother.
5. the only harry potter book i read was number 7, i watched movies 1-5 and spark notesed number 6

9. I don't have a specific favorite movie..when ever I see a new one it becomes my favorite...that goes for books as well

12. If i could afford it i would tatto my entire legs and arms, i'm currently trying to think of ideas for sleeves

15. I am a closet case of ocd. i like things a certain way and if its not like that my heart crushes
16. I take insulting jokes really personally, its because of years of being bullied
17. when i'm over tired I'm halerious... atleast i think so
18. If it wasn't frowned apon to pick your nose, i would do it, because sometimes there's an itch and you need to pick it...i'm also unashamed of picking wedgies...espcially at soccer

25. i enjoy the smell of sharpies and ddry erase markers, they're right above paint in my top ten favorite smells

Hold on...
I kept going to youth and Selah and kept crying out to feel better. I lost my anger and now there's just a smidge of sadness, which is better in my mind.
I don't know all I can say is that when times are tough hold on.
Being angry is far too tiring.

why wake up?
My brother's friend's dad (wordy eh?) died a while backand the family spoke of how he did things as if he knew sub consciously that he was going to die. And looking back did I do the same? My mom didn't want to get another picture of santa and Sam and Kirby. Yet I insisted on taking just Sam and that me and him would have a picture of Santa of us TOGETHER... our last picture of me and him together. Did I know sub consciously that he would't be here anymore? Was the yearning for a picture of us together a sign? But wait, I'm 99.9 % sure that he got sick because of the picture. That the place I took him was contaminated and it's the reason I lost him in the long run... Did I CAUSE this? I mean if I hadn't had the selfish urge to have a picture of us together, he might not have ever gotten sick and he'd still be in my arms now as we speak. Did my selfishness hand him the death sentence? This thought plagues me now as I type. If thats the case? How can I possibly have any joy in my self? If I caused this whats stopping me from hating myself.
Sometimes I think about what I have and what I do, and I think, why? I have a job but why do I bother getting up in the morning? Why not just quit it and be poor and a hermit. Right now I have the thought that maybe I'll just lie in bed and wait for this nightmare to end so I can get back to my life. But how long will that take? And yet I yearn for human interaction. Some how in their eyes and see joy and it feeds me, and it makes me feel better. Meanwhile I wonder, did I suck the life out of the room?Am I act so miserable, am I so obvious of needing their joy that I end up sucking out their joy altogether? Do they deserve that? Absolutely not. So what do I do? Do I sulk in my room and sink into a black whole, all the while yearning for their love, their conversations? Or do I get up and out everyday and hang around them and risk killing their spirits? Is it selfish for me to take the second one? I mean truly I long so much more for interaction that it is a source of happiness. I'd like to hope that I seem a little bit happier everyday but maybe I'm way of the mark? Maybe they see me everyday and think "poor her." Screw that, pitty and help are different things, spare me your pitty and just talk to me like you did before I fell into this.
And then I think of my faith. I am So incredibly angry at God right now. I've tried praying it away, I've had a friend pray over me, but right now I'm hurt and confused, and yet all I can do is cry out to him in worship. "Let the pain and the sorrows, be washed away, in the waves of his mercy, as deep cries unto deep. Come, Lord Jesus,come." I know he can take them away and I yearn and hope that he will. I turn this sorrow completely over to him and yet it lingers. So I guess this healing thing isn't going to happen in my time and that God is going to take it and fix it in his. I know thats the way he works and I know it's for the best, it is God after all. I guess it just sucks that in the meantime I have to feel like this.

Worst new years of my life
On December 23 Sam began having bad diareah with blood in it, so I took him to the vet where they told me his had giardia.. no biggie it's fixable right? I never would have thought what would happen next.
After a few days of treating Sam for giardia we noticed his breathing had become laboured and every breath he took seemed to be difficult for him. So on December 30 we took him t othe vet where they told us he had some sort of infection, ulsers in his stomache and some fluid in his lungs. Me and my mom made sure to elaborate that this had absolutely nothing to do with his heart.. we asked the vet over and over again.. he reassured us over and over again that it had nothing t odo with his heart, so they gave him a shot to "drain the fluid" some medicine for his "ulsers and infection" the day seemed to go a little bit better, his breathing wasn't quite as bad, until right before he went to bed, it began to get worse again. For whatever reason Sam decided to go get a drink of water from his bowl, which is very odd because during the winter he doens't drink from his bowl he eats the snow outside. So i heard him drink and drink until I heard him vomit. I got up to look and saw he had thrown up all the water had had drank and some blood. I began to worry more and more. My mom stayed up with him during the night until about 5 when he began having open mouth breathing, I had gotten up to take some t3s because i just got my wisdom teeth out to hear my mom on the phone with the emergency vet clinic. My mom had called because Sam went outside and just layed in the snow. I went with my mom to make sure I got to say good bye. I knew he didn't have very long. We got in the car and I listened to him breathing and then began the extremely disturbing sounds he made as the oxygen left his lungs. Within a couple minutes of being in the car, Sam layed down for one last time and then he was gone. I started crying excessively. I couldn't believe it. A year and a half wasn't long enough. We got to the vet and had to take Sam out of the car. i began to lift him, but couldn't hold on because all the blood/fluid in his lungs began to poor out. The nurse who was very sweet took him into the other room and we got to say our goodbyes and then we left him there.
The vet nurse was sure to warn us to stop using out vet for our other dog Kirby, she says that they've seen lots of his patients and he wasn't good. I want to scream at him, I want him to feel that hurting i felt. He assured us it had nothing to do with his heart, he would be fine.. he wasn't. Instead I had to see my dog die in my own arms and I have to have this new year begin without my best friend.

6 months later...
So basically, I had the most amazing summer ever. First on june 29th... my birthday.. i went to echolake bible camp for a week. Then I came home for a whole week and then was off to Indianapolis for three weeks. AMAZING! Not only did I get to serve God and see Robbie and Nick, but I also got to meet some amazing people. Including the people I worked with, Sarah, Julie, Ebert and Sarah's mom. It was absolutely amazing and I completely miss them.
Hmm what else has been happening. Well I've been pretty fustrated lately.Just with my spiritual life and my lifein general.
On October 4 I started a new job with St Amant. Basically I work with 2 boys, one 4 and one 5 who have autism. I work with one of them in the morning and one in the afternoon and as of right now I'm super stressed out. I'm still technically employed by petland, which is sweet for the discounts, but basically I told them I won't be working any shifts until my Christmas break around December 19.
Ha! Oh yeah while I was on my trip I got a tattoo on my weekend off. I love it and I'm going for my second ink on Nov 15 which is about 5 days away. So excited.
Since I last typed we also had two elections. One Canadian and one American. For us Canadians the outcome is still the same, we're still a conservative minority government. For the Americans on the other hand, the outcome was incredible. The United States made history on Nov 4 by electing their first ever black president. It's funny how racial the election became. But I mean if you're really going to make that an issue in the whole thing. He is half and half. I mean he
s got some white in there too. It still amazes me though how completely for or against a candidate they are. Either you love one and hate the other or you love the other one and hate the other. It's amazing. I've heard people threaten to move to Canada if so and so was elected. We'll see who follows through with that threat of course.
I'm still completely and utterly single and praying for God to send me someone to love and to love me. I keep hearing this background voice who says I need to find my worth in God first. I know that's true but it's still completely and utterly fustrating. It seems every where I look around people I graduated with and maybe one year older are getting married and having babies. I mean I don't want it because I'm "jealous", I've always wanted that more myself, but lately seeing all this just makes it that much harder. I just want someone to love me and hold me and encourage me and hold me accountable, both to him and God. I know God has someone waiting for me and I need to have patience, and I am putting myself out there, I just have to wait and honestly I'm discouraged.
I've started working out at the gym. Lately I go once a week with a trainer who I know from highschool that pushes me to the extreme. I love it, I feel great about it and I'm losing weight from it. Losing weight is also helped by the fact that I'm also playing on a womens soccer team. I'm so bad because I haven't played organized soccer since grade three, but I love it. It's actually so fun, even though I virtually want to lay down and die after a game. So tired but happy. I'm also coaching a co-ed team for fun which it is! So far I haven't necessarily lost weight because muscle weighs more than weight but my belly has shrunk and I overall have more energy.
I don't think there's much else so share so I'm going to go to bed because I have to work tomorrow!

pretty bored...
There's not a whole lot new. my laptop kicked the bucket and it was not worth the money I would have had to spent to get it fixed so I am writing from a brand spanking new desktop computer that I bought from best buy for SUPER cheap.
Hmm what else?
Tomorrow me and mommy are leaving for the weekend for a weekend extravaganza of shopping and chilling in the big city of Grandforks, North Dakota!!!! I'm actually uber exciting cus it'll be like a little mini vacation before my big one ya know.
Next wekend (May2-4) is YCMB so that'll be fun too. I'll be volunteering there again! YAY!
Then it's just 78 more days until I make my way to INdy for a summer full of sevice and Jesus and great times! I'm exciting and cannot wait!!

worst blogger ever
So I'm sure I mentioned that I have officially been accepted to workcamps to spend three weeks in Indianapolis. I'm super excited. I've booked my flight, payed for my hotel for the 5 days after and everything. I'm pretty excited because I'm gonna have that completely payed off in less than a week I bet. Well maybe a little bit more. But with my somewhat decent income and the incredible income tax return that I'm getting back from the government as well as my birthday coming up, this trip is going to be more than affordable. Thank God for his goodness!!
I'm also working on getting on the sublist for the river east school division. I just have to go and take WEVAS which I'm doing in the next couple weeks. So things are going pretty good..
So how come when things are going so great I feel like I have to escape! I feel like I need to get out of here. Just completely get away!!Its amazing how much I can love God and see how much he's providing for me and hate myself at the same time. Is that even possible?
I decided that during my trip, I'm going to take my laptop with me and send emails to anyone that wants to hear about my experiences at workcamps, which i doubt is many at all...But anyways since I am bringing my laptop I don't feel much like bringing my cds as well, that's just one more thing that something can happen to. So instead I decided to actually use Itunes..... It's only been sitting on my computer for I don't even know how long.. right? So I started importing all my cds into my itunes... so far I've done 21 cds. I'm not gonna lie.. it takes a pretty long time for them all to be imported. But I figure why not. I can listen to them as much as I want. Plus I'm hoping to get an ipod for the plane ride but I won't be greedy about that. Maybe I'll get one when me and my mom go to Grand Forks for the weekend. I'm deeply looking forward to that.
Anyways I hope thats a satisfactory post..I would write more but this is a somewhat public blog and is open to everyone including some people that I don't want reading about my disheartening feeling in my chest and my discouragement.. I should deal with it... I just don't feel like it..
Not that anyone reads this anyways.

March came in like A Lion...
Today I also got my CPR and first Aid certificate, so if you get hurt of knocked unconscious and aren't breathing, I can help you, and I can even zap your heart into rhythm again if there's a defibrillator around. So don't you worry about a thing. HA
So i applied to volunteer with Group Workcamps over the summer, hopefully in Indianapolis. I did my video interview already and sent it in, they said they'd call by the end of the week, but they haven't yet. I'm getting kinda stressed about it. I'm just praying that everything will work out and that I'll be able to serve God this summer.
Other than that I really don't think there's much else new.
Youth is great.. well for the kids at least. I on the other hand am rather discouraged, it feels like i don't matter there and lately like I should just quit. I don't know maybe it's just a spiritual attack, but every time I'm there I want to leave within a few minutes and just run far far away.
I gotta start praying for finances too. If I do end up going this summer I'll have to save up some cash before I go, and if you know me well then you know I am NOT good at saving money.
Thats about it, if you wanna watch my video interview it's at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n04_9AJOAfQ please leave comments!

THis kiiiiiiiind of sucks
School has been different it's been really slack and to be honest i've completely lost all my drive for it. i've been really discouraged and disheartened about the whole thing and it leaves me kinda of bitter.
things at home are meh.
Theres a huge chance amy, my brother's now ex gf, may have cancer and she's left my brother in the rain because she feels she has to do it herself, that's well and dandy but it's pretty much turned out home upside down. my brother is miserable and it's reflected everywhere in our house, and he's even threatened to move away. i guess i understand but i'm not happy.
it makes me cry whenever i think about it...
on second thought, i really don't wanna write right now.
sorry

a goood break
Also I have a new respect and Love for my brother Ryan. I have come to see that he really is nice guy and I don't give him nearly enough credit.
Also my friend Andrew from work camps came to visit for a week for new years. We had lots of fun, we went golfing and went to a party and to a moose game and sledding and skating. I was more active in this week than I have been in a long time.
I go back to school on Monday. I am kinda ready to go back. I think school is gonna be pretty easy after the break. I'm not worried about stress or anything, I'm really ready to get 'er done. It'll be good.
Other than that not much is new.
I work this weekend, minus sunday and that's about it.
Have a happy New year all!

Schooooool is done
So we did our presentation on monday, it sucked. one of the members of our group sat there and spoke in this none enthusiastic voice. Then when the teacherwent to talk to us about it she stormed out of the room and screamed the f bomb and punched the wall. It was pretty ridiculous!!!! Then we didn't talk to that person for pretty much the whole week.
Then pretty much everyone else in our class is being a biz too so it was so just a grumpy vibe all the way.
Although i had 4 tests, 1 thursday and 3 on friday, and i'm pretty sure i did well on all of them. which is pretty exciting.
thats pretty much is
we'll see how christmas goes

i don't care..and i feel so refereshed
After the church service, even though the topic had nothing to do with stuff that i was feeling bumbed about, i felt very relieved and peaceful! I know that God will take care of this thing with nick and when he does I will be very thankful for whatever his plan is.
Plus my laptop is working! yahoo!! thank you Jesus! there's no way i could afford to fix it if it didn't work.
I'm still praying for that job so here's my prayer for today.
Dear God,
Thank you sooo soo so much for all the blessings you have given me, Lord God, and I think you that you're a part of my life. God, I just pray that you help me with the things I'm still struggling with, swearing, using you name in vain, gossiping, lying, and so much more Lord, I pray for your forgiveness in that area and I pray that you give me the strength to turn away. Lord, I also pray that you help with love others. I'm so terrible and showing love towards people when I first meet people... I often dislike people until they give me a reason to like them Lord, and I don't want it to be like that. God, I want to love them at first chance, God.
God I just pray now as well for this situation at the school, Lord, I just want that job so much, and God, they've made it clear that they want me there too. God, I just pray that it doesn't change and that they don't go back on what they said, and they my hopes aren't shot down, Lord. Please, God, just place me in that school permanently.
God I want to lift up the church. Lord, as we just elected new elders I pray that they seek you and that you steer the church through them Lord, and that we as a congregation can encourage and support them. Lord, I just pray you be with them in all their decisions.
God, I pray for Josh, Kiel, Erin and Mel as they travel home Lord God. I pray that you protect them and keep them safe on their road Lord God. And that you just continue to be in the hearts and minds as they return home to share new and exiting things with our youth, Lord, I pray for the youth. God I pray for you just to reveal yourself in huge ways Lord. Lord open these youth's eyes to you like they've never seen before Lord God. And Lord just open their hearts so they they can be closer to you God. God I just thank you so much again for the blessings that you've given Lord. You have given so much Lord. And as you continue to show yourself God, I just pray that I don't get caught up with pointless things God and that I am able to stay thankful and continue to praise and worship you for your Goodness and love.
Amen
