Sniff sniff sniff.....kleenex is my best friend

I can't breathe through my nose, booo....stupid sickness that won't go away. Soooo busy the last while. The time keeps flying by and I feel that the summer is slipping away on me. So, what has been going on in my life??

Oooo ooo ooo, I got a new doggy!!! He is a rescue dog from the SPCA. His name was Rex, but now he is Texas (aka Tex). He is so amazingly sweet. He's an akita x shep but I swear he has husky too. He gets along great with my dog Jake. He has these awesome blue eyes. Awe, puppy love. Oh poor Gwen, I forgot to call her tonight! Gwen......we WILL go looking for doggies soon. Don't give up on doggyhood yet.

What else...I saw my friend Karen on Saturday. We had a Sex in the City fest at her house. It was fun, but I wish I got to spend more time with her....she is leaving so soon (going back to Hong Kong). She was definitely a spiritual mentor to me when I first got to UBC. She is really an amazing person.

Hmmm...my uncle and aunt from Ottawa came over today. They are so sweet. I think my aunt is one of the cutest people I know. I wish that they lived closer.

Hmmm...oh yeah, I FINALLY found a campsite for the Crusade camping retreat...thanks to help from my wonderful parents. That's a relief.....I was beginning to think we were going to have to camp in my back yard!

Not much else....just seeing movies and work and volunteering. I went to the driving range last week too. I am soo outta shape.....I was actually sore the next day. Movie-wise, a brief word of wisdom...do not see The Village. Please spare yourself and wait for video if you must. Borne Supremacy is good. Anchorman is so stupid but sooooooo funny, I loved it. "I'm in a glass case of emotion!" Manchurian Candiate is pretty good. Is that all I have seen? Feels like more.

On another note, God has been consistently revealing new things to me, as I keep up with my devos and go to my new Church. I am too tired to go into detail about this stuff now, but hope to share some of them soon. My new Church seems very amazing......Great teaching, opportunities to serve, so much closer to my house, friendly people, and get this, my dad is really happy to join me there too! My mom even wants to check it out...Yay. God is working in them, I know it. I don't know what He is up to, but He is up to something. The pastor said something really cool the other day.......he said that "when we wait on God, God works. When we work, God waits." Made me very aware that I need to take some time out and spend some time to hear what God has to say to me. I need Him to help show me a plan for the next couple years of my life and some decisions I must make.....namely in regards to stinting, Europe, and vet school. Each time I think God shows me something, I give it over to Him, thank Him, grab it back, then try to conform it to my own standards and squeeze it into the plans I already have for myself and my life. It's like I half trust Him. Even so, it is amazing that He meets me where I am at. It is one of my favorite characteristics of God......I am always in debt to Him.......He is so compassionate.

The clock is ticking and my bed is calling out to me.

My bed is calling me......gravity.

Oh yeah, one more thing. So in love with the Starfield cd right now.

Yay Starfield!

Awesome to hear about what you're doing lately, esp. in regards to your new church and your parents. I'd blab more, but I need to sleep too.
