Nothing Holding Me Back

I just love this song SO much lately. It's just such a fun one to sing along with and just get lost in! Well, this time I'm happy to report that LOTS has been happening! Last weekend me, Jeff, Lindsey, and Rob took a sudden and implusive boating/camping trip! We borrowed Jeff's sisters boat, got all our gear together, then headed downstream on the Peace River! We found an adorable little beach! There were sadly lots of mosquitoes, the boys made 'beds' in the sand, the water rose a TON, but nonetheless... we had a super enjoyable time! OH! Jeff got the report back after his interview and... HE'S BEEN ACCEPTED!! Eek!! It's so awesome! We're both super excited! I got a call today and i officially have a phone interview tomorrow at 8:30 (my time)!! So i guess we'll see how that goes! (pray for me!!) In other news, i'm going to be doing some nightshifts with my cousin Janelle, starting tomorrow, to get a bit more pocket change before i head out. God is just blessing me in so many ways! It's almost overwhelming!! Also, this weekend i might be hitching a plane ride with my aunt and uncle down to Kamloops to visit my momma and sister! I'm pretty pumped! Haven't seen my mom in almost 2 months! (much too long) But other than all of this exciting stuff, i've mostly been working, eating, sleeping, and chilling! Haha! It's kinda been a relaxed summer. I'm a bit excited for my friends to get back so i can get some more crazy exciting memories before i head out!(Which is actually really soon when i think about it!!) August 17th is my last day at work, 21st we're leaving for Edmonton! Then "HELLO BC!" But boy, have we ever been making some pretty amazing memories so far! CONGRATULATIONS! You are currently up to date with Alana's life. 


Cheers!

We made super delicious "Breakfast Sandwiches"!!  

Let It Rain

Let it rain, let it rain. Open the floodgates of Heaven, let it rain!! Finally we got some moisture here! Yesterday and today its just been pouring like crazy! I LOVE it! And i know i'm not the only one! Both the farmers and the firefighters are grateful, i'm sure! However, the Fisher's dogs really aren't appreciating it. Zoe and (especially) Jake absolutely HATE storms! Poor things were shaking like crazy. Wouldn't leave my side! Well other than that not to much has been happening here lately! I think i'm really starting to get ready to leave. Like, mentally. Getting the emails to read certain books and stuff like that just gets me so excited!! Jeff and I both got emails asking us when an interview would work for us for school!! (Lord Willing both me and Jeffry will be going to Eyes and Wings School of Supernatural Ministry!! http://www.ewssm.org/) I can't believe this is actually starting to happen! Like actually. Oh! Since she's only 1 house away from me now, me and Jelena are going to be watching Big Brother together!! I'm so pumped! Its so nice to have a girl to hang out with! Feels like all my girlfriends are gone these days! But its no big deal. Hopefully THIS week we'll go to Riverside Bible Camp! Haha last week it totally didn't happen. Well time to head over and watch BB!! YAY!

Peace Out!

The Gypsy Girl

She's baaaack!! Haha yeah so i've been a bit slack with this blogging thing. But its totally not my fault. The place where i was staying pretty much didn't have wifi. So i'll tell all of you lovely people whats been happening lately! Firstly, i'm no longer an orphan! My dad has finally been returned to me! (Sorry Mom) I hadn't ever realized how much i didn't like being lonely! Turns out... i don't like it a lot! Haha! But golly that was sure a trying week! I would be totally fine during the day, have fun, laugh, all that good stuff! But then i'd get 'home' and have to just go to bed and not have anyone to chat with--that was the yucky part. However, although most of my friends have begun their summer vaca's and such, i've had my super awesome boyfriend Jeffry to hang with! Its been SO nice having him around! The afternoons and evenings don't feel the least bit lonely then! Him and his family have been super crazy awesome to me! Secondly, HEATWAVE!! Thats one of the biggest things thats been going on! The weather we've been having is (sorry farmers) incredible!! It was like 35, or something equally as crazy today! Yesterday me, Jeff, our friend Lindsey, and her siblings went swimming/cliff jumping at the gravel pits! Gosh is that ever a lot of fun! This summers been super nice! However, even though its been so warm its kind of been sucky in 2 ways. #1: All the heat is making things dry up and #2: All those dried up things are starting to catch on fire and threaten our minuscule hamlet of La Crete. And i'd like to think i'm pretty tough when it comes to campfires and the smoke associated, but this is ridiculous. The smoke coming from these fires is HORRIBLE!! Like, hurts my stomach-horrible! But hopefully the handy dandy firefighters get these bad boys out soon so all will be well in La Crete! Another thing thats been going on is that we've relocated once again! Me and my pops are house/dog sitting! So its fairly permanent! (about a month or so!) Its nice to have our "own place" now. Sharing with someone for too long can get to be too much to handle! In other news: me and Jeff are hoping to make our way down to Riverside Bible Camp this weekend possibly!! (Maybe we'll even grab Lindsey, and make a road/camping trip out of it!) I'm pretty excited. Like really excited. So, as you can see, not too much has been happening in my life lately. But i've been enjoying it nonetheless!! Well i'm thinking its time for this tired travelling gypsy girl to once again hit the hay. 

Good night y'all!

Homeless and Happy

On our way to Wadlin!

Here are a few pics of this past weekend! I went camping with Jeff and his fam and had an awesome time! The weather was so nice and i think everyone was just so happy to finally have a break. (i was sure glad!) It had been a looong time since i had gone camping, and i was reminded once again how much i enjoy it! The campfires, hotdogs, sun, and water is such good medicine for the soul! Having the camping trip right after saying goodbye to the house was actually super nice! It took my mind off of everything and i was forced to chill. I loved it. Jeff brought Christina's boat along so we went fishing on the lake like, all the time! It was so much fun! I got to try fishing again! (another thing i hadn't done in forever!) So i'm staying at my Aunt and Uncles house now...not sure how long i'll be here. But its been good so far! In other news: my dad made it to Kamloops on Saturday with the last of all of our stuffs! So this week I'm both homeless and an orphan! Haha oh well! I'm sure my mom is really enjoying the company. Time for me to go get ready for my day! I guess we'll see what the rest of this lovely warm day holds! 

Have a blessed day!
