Here is post 26 in the "All About Me in 30 Days" blog hop.
Last post I wrote about my day...in great detail. Today I'm going to attempt to write about my week in great detail, although hopefully it won't be as detailed as last post...
Let's see. I guess I'll start with last Wednesday, if I can remember that far back!
Wednesday December 1, 2010
I attempted to do some school work since I hadn't done any that week, but I still wasn't feeling very well, so I only did a small amount of work. I decided I needed to rest so that I would be feeling better by the evening when my family was to go out for dinner. It was a pretty laid back day for me, but it helped as I felt better in the following days! By mid-late afternoon I started to get ready to go out to my Young Adult Pastor's house for supper! When we were almost going out the door I got an exciting text from a friend! I was, and still am so excited for what God is doing in her life, but I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty sad as well... I've just been getting to know her and now she's leaving for awhile... Anyway, we went to Chris and Sherri's house for dinner and had a blast! It was so much fun getting to know them better!
Thursday December 2, 2010
I don't really remember very much from Thursday, but I do know I worked from 7:30 to 5:30. That pretty much took up my day, and it was a straightforward work day. (Similar to the day in my last post but except all the crazy incidents I encountered that day!)
Friday December 3, 2010
Friday was another no school work day. Oops! I intended on doing my schoolwork, but we were having my Aunt, Uncle and 3 cousins over for dinner so I spent the day cleaning. If you really want to know details, I cleaned the bathrooms, wiped all the mirrors, and vacuumed the upstairs. Then I went to the store to buy some groceries for the dessert I was making, but it took way longer than I expected. I hadn't shopped in this particular store much so I didn't know where to find some of the items. Eventually I found my way around, paid and made my way home. When I got home I made some delicious brownie/cheesecake squares! Yum! Then my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins arrived! That was so much fun! We had dinner with them, then we visited for a short little while and I was able to hold little Trae. Then everyone went there separate ways (youth, shopping, etc) while I babysat Nevaeh and Aiden!! All my life I had wanted to babysit my cousins, and now I had a chance to watch 2 of them! We had a blast! We coloured, played with some toys, put together a puzzle, danced to a music DVD, read books, and played with some OLD toys from when I was younger! Then my Aunt and Uncle came back, I held Trae some more while we visited! Before we knew it the evening had come to a close and it was time for them to go home. I'm so grateful we live close enough so that evenings like Friday evening are possible!
Oh, and Friday was a BC friend's birthday, so I wished her happy birthday and thought about how we met, and how neat it is how God arranged everything with me being in Tourism last year...even though that wasn't were I would ultimately end up. It's neat to look back and see just how different pieces of this puzzle of life fall into place and make the picture a little bit clearer! I'm so glad I met you Rebecca!
Saturday December 4, 2010
I'm not exactly sure what I did on Saturday. The weekends usually are a blur to me, and I seem to have a hard time remembering what I did in the day...but I always remember what I did in the evening! Maybe in the day I just did some things around the house and got organized, and I probably cleaned up a bit from Friday night. Saturday night though is a completely different story. I remember it as if it was yesterday! I went to church, and the service was AMAZING! Then afterwords the young adults were going curling. I wasn't going to go because I hadn't ever curled before and was nervous, but I also had no clue where it was. I'm still lost when it comes to finding my way around this city. So, after church I went to visit with my friend, who asked if I was coming curling. I said I didn't know, she twisted my arm and I ended up going and having a blast! I had no clue curling would be so much fun...and I wasn't the only one who hadn't curled before! Afterwords we went out to Boston Pizza. Then I came home and went to bed. I enjoyed every moment of being with the young adults that night. Sometimes because I am so quiet I 'avoid' group gatherings like Saturday night Emerge, I guess it's mostly because of awkward experiences in the past. Here it is completely different though, and I need to get out of my rut of not going. So much planning is put into the events that go on...so I should go. Right!
Sunday December 5, 2010
On Sunday morning I went to church again. I usually don't go on Sundays since the message is the same as Saturday night, but occasionally I will. I was able to catch up a little bit with another new friend of mine, which was nice! Sunday afternoon I took it easy since my body still wasn't feeling 100%. The cold I had really took a lot out of me...and it lasted a long time! Sunday evening I went to a monthly young adult event at the church called Rooted. I had only been to one before, so it was nice to go this time! I met a couple new people and had a great time fellowshipping, worshipping God, and hearing the messages that were shared.
Monday December 6, 2010
Monday was a weird day. I was working on schoolwork from the moment I got up until just before lunch. My mom had gone shopping and when she got home she was carrying a box of cutlery. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but my siblings and I had bought a nice cutlery set for my parents for Christmas. The weird thing is that the box my mom bought was the same brand and style as the one we had bought. The only difference was the number of pieces in the set. Thankfully my sisters were all home that day, so we convinced (after my mom found out we had bought cutlery...) my mom to tell my dad to pick up my brother for lunch and come home. Long story short, we ended up giving the cutlery to my parents at lunch time. We were disappointed that we had to give it to them early, but I am glad that they are able to use it now. Especially since we had my mom's cousin and her family over for supper Monday night, and this coming Sunday we are having another family over for lunch. Then, like I said my mom's cousin and her family came over for dinner. I ended up going out to Bible Study shortly after they got to my house, but I'm sure those who were at home had a good visit! Bible Study went really well as well! I really enjoy going and being able to study the book of Luke with the people I'm getting to know. I have found that the people I know the best here so far are the ones that are in my small group for Bible Study. I guess that is because I see them every week and we are in a setting where we can actually visit and get to know one another.
Tuesday December 7, 2010.
Well, Tuesday was an interesting day. It was good though! I wrote the basics of my day here and here, so I'm not going to repeat it.
Wednesday December 8, 2010
Today I woke up and did some biology. I also figured it was time to finally sit down and finish writing my letter for my nursing application. It took awhile, but I finally finished my letter and mailed it out a couple hours ago!! I am so excited! Now everything regarding my nursing application and possible move is in God's hands. Only time will tell what comes out of this. I feel very optimistic about it though. I really feel this is the right thing for me at this time, so I'm just praying for everything to come together! That has basically been my day so far. That and writing all this down here! I am hoping to finish up my "All About Me In 30 Days" blog hop tonight. It has taken me WAY longer than 30 days to write it but, I figure that's alright since I'm actually finishing it and not leaving it hanging. I have come to realize it is much harder writing every day than I first thought it would be! Some days I write a lot, but others I don't have anything to write about. Even with hints like the blog hop!
Oh, and I have one more thing about today to write down for the record. About 30 minutes ago I checked the current weather in my BC city, and here... The results were crazy. Here it is -10 with a windchill that feels like -20. My BC city is +7! How crazy is that! I felt a little bit jealous about that! So, all my BC friends reading this who are enjoying the nice weather...ENJOY!
Again, this is a LONG post. If you read all the way to the end I'm amazed! I honestly don't know if I would read this whole post! But the requirement was details, so there you have a detailed look at my week!
