Home Sweet Home?









Hello from Kamloops BC! I finally made it! After months of people asking me "When are you moving?" or saying "You aren't gone yet??" I have officially moved away from La Crete. In the beginning, once i knew i was moving i thought to myself "its gonna be no big deal, my family will all be in BC now, i'll make new friends...etc" However, saying those goodbyes to the people i love and care about was so much harder then i had expected. But i made it! Before making my final trek out here dad, Jeff, and myself got to drive down to Edmonton to see the rest of my family in leu of my cousins wedding! It was really great! We shopped till we were absolutely sick of it (Which is a big deal, cause that doesn't happen very often!), drove around Edmonton, ate authentic Greek food (mmm!), got to dress up for the wedding, and danced like a crazy people! Overall, it was a super successful weekend! SO i'm in BC now, hanging with my mom, doing a few final  little things before school starts on the 11th. Am I nervous? Yes. Does the thought of city driving frighten me? A little. Am I excited? Like you wouldn't believe. Well, its time for me to go eat breakfast and figure out the rest of my day! Happy Tuesday!

The adventure continues...

It's a Wonderful Life

OLLO! Wow, looking back, these past couple of weeks have been crazy! I'll try to pick up where i left off! So, in case you didn't know...I've been accepted for school! So THAT is pretty dang exciting if you ask me! Praise the Lord!! What else has been going on... OH! My uncle Jake did, in fact, fly us down! Me, my dad, aunt, and cousin, got to go down for a weekend! It was so great! I finally got to see my new 'home'! Everyone had a great time. Hehe! I also surprised everyone back here by getting my bangs cut unannounced! (Thanks again mom!) Me and Tiff got to do some intense thrifting in downtown Kamloops, it was fantastic bonding time haha! Pretty soon after coming back from Kamloops we had to pack up our bags once again and relocate! We moved from the Fisher's place over to the Becker's. It was a really fun place to be! Me and Jeff made use of their hot tub one evening and brought Tyler over for a swim! He loved it! We also got to have friends over for movies and such, it was great! In more exciting news... On Sunday, pretty much a week ago now, me Jeff Lindsey Shannan and Rob all quadded down to Walls for the afternoon! It was going great! FINALLY we could all hang out together again! But things don't always go as planned... One of my friends was trying to throw a fair sized rock like a discus and it ended up flying my way. It managed to hit my shin and my foot. After a few tears, a speedy quad ride back, and a trip to the Fort hospital, it resulted in me had some very deep bruising on my left foot. Thankfully nothing was broken! I still can't quite wear a shoe yet though, its too fat still! So my last week of work here in La Crete included me hobbling around with my crutches! Haha it wasn't too bad though! So with all of that, some birthday partying, and friends swimming with all their clothes on, thats pretty much all thats been going on! Haha it's been a really fun last week! I'm gonna be so sad to say goodbye to all of these awesome people! But i know that God has some crazy amazing things planned for me over in BC! I'm so excited to see where i'll end up! And i'm so pumped to write about all that happens when i'm down there! Oh! I FORGOT! I also have a place to live in Kelowna now! It's gonna be so great! God really does answer prayers! So today is my last day in La Crete, AB. Tomorrow morning me, my dad, and Jeff head over to Edmonton for my cousins wedding! Its gonna be fun! Get some more shopping in, get to see my family, and get to attend a wedding! I love weddings! After the wedding i get to head over to my new province with my mom and Tiffany! And then i'll be there for good! (I'm probably more than likely coming back to La Crete for Christmas though! So that'll be fun!) Well, you are once again up to date with whats been going on in my life! I apologize that my posts are so far apart and such. But as you can see i've been a busy gal! 

Happy Monday!
Al.
