| So I am officially no longer a teenager. The day (Monday) ended up being somewhat anti-climatic, what with my entire family gone camping for family holidays and my boyfriend travelling across the continent of Europe and me home alone on my special day. But my friends here did their very best to fill in and ensure that I wasn't lonely! And my family hid presents in the house and called to tell me where they were so that I wouldn't open them before my birthday... How old do they think I am??? silly people! It's okay mom, I love ya! And my sweetheart sent me a dozen red roses, that he had arranged already to have sent before he left in May and that came with a little personalized card and everything! I was quite impressed and blown away by his sweet gesture. I went out with the girls last night for drinks at a cute little restaurant and other then that, just had a pretty regular day. Thanks for the e-mail ashley, it was really cool that you remembered! :) This week has been scorchingly hot and I have a new appreciation for how my mother keeps the house cool without airconditioning... I haven't been able to get it under 27 degrees the entire time they've been gone! But the family returns this Saturday, with my Opa and Oma to follow for a visit on Monday and Matthew coming home next Wednesday and then it's off for a week of camping with his family (thus the reason I am not camping with my family at this moment... only allowed one lousy week of holidays which left me with having to choose whose family to go with... sorry mom, I really do love ya! :) But in general life is good, no complaints, and it feels no different now that I've bid farewell to my teenage years. I have 100% decided to attend hair design school in the fall which I'm pretty excited about. I've paid my deposit and I'm in, so yay for having at least some of life figured out! Just want to survive the next week of work and then holidays for a week to be rejuvenated! Excitement is great as I've been counting down all summer for Matt to come home and for my holidays to start! Hope your summers are going swell.  | | |
| Why is life full of so many tough decisions? I am a terrible procrastinator and terrible at decision making and these two aspects of my personality don't really work all that well together. I am in the process of deciding what to do with my life which is no small decision to make! I have decided for certain that I will not be returning to any form of university in the fall, it's just not for me, I haven't found anything there that excites me or that I am feeling called to. I have also decided that I cannot work full-time for a year, at least not at the place where I am currently employed (oh the drama that has occured at my job in the past week... you have no idea!) I am strongly considering and I would say that I have almost for surely decided to attend the Lethbridge School of Hair Design in the fall. But even just typing that out sounds so final and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. I would begin the first Monday in October as there are no openings left for me to start in September, and I would attend school for 9 months, 5 days a week from 8:30-4:30 and at the end of that time I would have my diploma for hairstyling and would be able to work in a salon. This is something that has always interested me and something I have always considered as a possible career choice but always had people telling me I was capable of so much more. But I tried university and I did fine, I was capable, I got good grades and could continue on for a couple more years and graduate with a degree, but to what end? What do I hope to accomplish and is it worth the ridiculous amounts of money that university has and is costing me? So many questions to think about. I am having to make this decision while my lovely boyfriend is on the other side of the world which kind of complicates the decision making process a little bit as well.... Decisions decisions decisions... oh how I hate them! I have prayed and prayed about what I should do but Matt is quick to remind me that God probably won't give me the audible response I am looking for and have to trust that if I hand it over to Him, He won't let me make the wrong decision. What to do, what to do!?! | | |
| So I am new to this whole blogging thing and really am not sure how it works but I will do my best. Hi Emily and Ashley! Hope you guys are doing good! You seem to be the only two interested in me making some postings so here you go! Not much new or exciting in my life right now. I am working full time as a supervisor at a grocery store here. I am in charge of the cashiers, customer service girls and courtesy clerks and work to keep the front end of the store operating smoothly. Sometimes I work as a cashier or customer service girl to depending on where they need me each week. I have completed two very random years of university that haven't really helped me figure out what I want to do my life but I hope to have time this summer to do alot of praying and planning and thinking about what I really hope to accomplish with my life. My amazing boyfriend Matthew left for Europe just this past week where he will be until August 2nd. The picture included on this posting is the two of us the day that he left. Two months apart is going to be hard but also good for us to help us really appreciate eachother and decide the roles that we are ready to play in eachothers lives. I've known Matt since grade 7 and went to junior high, highschool and also one semester during this past year of university with him but it wasn't until February that we finally developed a mutual interest and were ready to pursue a relationship. My family is all doing great, keeping busy with work and church and school and girlfriends in the case of both my brothers but it's been good. This past year I was one of three leaders of the junior high youth group at my church which was a bit of an interesting experience. Hope you girls are doing great and anyone else that takes the time to read this! Hope to hear from you soon... now that I've actually made a post! | | |
