Well well well. Where to start?!?!
I believe that when i last left you i was heading home from my road trip. That was a while ago. So i must apologize for not getting around to blogging in a while.... but let me fill you in with my life!

After my return on June 27th, I went to look at a basement suite and later that day signed the papers of my very first and very own home! i felt so grown up. Later that day, I had a very special date with Kris. He took me to Cliff Falls, and even though it was raining, that didn't stop him from proposing!! that's right! if you haven't already heard it through the grapevine, i am engaged!
Later that same week I found myself candidating as the director of Children's ministries at Maple Ridge Alliance Church. Within a week, i was on board and excited to start my career.... right out of college!!! I was finding that God's blessing where a little over whelming, so it was great to have three weeks of NOTHING to do before i started work!
Within those three weeks, i was able to go on many God walks, and do much praying and reading and thinking life through. AND i was also extremely sick for a good week and a bit! (i hadn't been that sick since gr.9!!)
so now we are caught up to august 1st! that not only was the day my mom turned 29 (again) but it was also my first day of work. And now, three weeks later, i am still loving this place and adapting so well! I love the people, the love, the fellowship, the kids, the families, the opportunities, the challenges, .... everything! i just love it! We've got things set up and ready for the next year of children's ministries.... the set is ready to go, kids are registered, AWANA is getting started soon, plans for a halloween alternative are being made, a LIVE ANIMAL show is coming as an outreach event, and most nerve-racking is my interview with the Christian & Missionary Alliance of Canada. I'll keep you posted! I still have another week to freak out about it! Anyway.... i have found my home. I love it here. and God is constantly blessing me!!

Yesterday my car past her out-of-province inspection.... good old Queen Latifa! Nothing stands in her way!!

what else....??? hmmm...???

i guess that's a little update for now. hopefully i'll get better at this blogging thing and be able to keep you all posted on life here in BC for kris and I!

love love love!
