    today we have to make the most of love



    Mom's visit was nice.  She bought me groceries and made me food.  She also bought all this Christmas stuff for my apartment.  Sometimes I feel spoiled... Oh well. Haha

    She's coming back on wednesday again because she has another meeting out here.  Then the following week my dad is coming for a visit/meetings.  Gotta love it.

    My camera broke yesterday while on a field trip.  I'm sure it's fixable, but it'll probably cost me a couple hundred bucks. Blah! Christmas could not come sooner.  Bring on the 5D!

    I am really excited for Christmas actually.  I just love it.  I cannot wait to go home.  It's been way too long and it makes me sad.  I'm fortunate that my parents are visiting pretty regularly, but I still miss so many things about my home.  The warm crackling fire downstairs on cold days, the smell of home cooked meals every night even if I can't eat them, watching the sun set over the harbour, the sound of the tv my parents are watching downstairs as I fall asleep, I even miss my dog's barking and him sneaking upstairs at night when he's lonely and scratching at my door to come in.  I also miss getting to see my baby niece all the time.  Apparently she's walking now and I'm missing it! I feel so left out.  I miss my amazing friend Sarah and everyone at Sonrise.  And so many other things!  Sigh, Christmas will be great.

    Speaking of which, I really need to get on my Christmas shopping.

    you could change it all with just one kiss



    I felt a little bit like a tool last night when a few trick-or-treaters rang my door bell and I just pretended I wasn't home.  When I was little I always thought people that never gave out candy on Halloween were mean.  But I didn't think I'd be home for very long so I didn't bother buying any treats.  And I wasn't home for very long.  Chris came back last night from doing a wedding in Stephenville on friday.  He got to see my parents for a bit yesterday and they sent back some fresh garden carrots (and a whole pile of moose meat) with him.  Yum yum.  Anyways, he picked me up when he got back and we spent over an hour in his deadly new hot tub.  I've gotta say, it's pretty amazing.  I can think of no better way I would rather have spent my Halloween night.  And it was especially nice because I haven't seen him since sunday night!  Yeah, I love that boy something fierce. 

    Soooo...I may just be going to Australia for about 2 weeks with Chris (and possibly my "little" brother) in May.  Yes, I realize it seems like I am always talking about going somewhere and it never seems to happen.  Like Brazil isn't on the go anymore because my friend who I was going with is going to California now instead.  But I think that may just work out for the best, considering this way I won't have to go 2 full months without seeing Chris.  And plus Australia would be pretty flipping sweet.  It's still in the planning stage, so nothing's certain-- but it's looking good I think.

    School is canceled tomorrow because the teachers have some kind of meeting or something (heck yess...). Oh, and dad is coming in on tuesday for 2 days, and mom is (hopefully) coming in on wednesday.  I reaallyy hope they can make it because I am missing them lots. 

    Well I suppose I should stop procrastinating and get back to work on Rocky's photos.

    love is on the move



    The other day I was admiring a big house and I thought, "I wonder how much it would cost to heat a place like that?"  And then I thought, "When the heck did I get so old??" 

    My midterm exam is on monday, and obviously I'm leaving studying until the last possible minute.  It's getting really cold outside-- snowing even.  Not looking forward to winter.  I miss my puppy.

    But on the other hand...

    I only have one midterm exam, and he's pretty much told us everything that's going to be on it.  St. John's isn't so bad, other than the weather.  School is tolerable, and sometimes even enjoyable.  Mom is visiting in 10 days.  My boyfriend just got a hot tub (umm, heck yes).  Oh, and Christmas is in exactly 2 months.

    Life's not so bad.

    come on, lift your eyes up



    YC was fun.  It went by pretty fast, and there were parts that I didn't really like...but others that I did.  It was a decent weekend all in all, though definitely not my favourite YC.  Kutless were awesome, and a couple of the speakers were great as well.  It was also nice seeing mom and dad.

    Yesterday in school we went on a field trip to Cape Spear and Petty Harbour.  It was beautiful yesterday, aside from it being a little bit chilly.  Today we got hit with a blizzard.  That's right, it's insanely windy and SNOWING.  I am not ready for snow...grr. 

    Anyways, thanksgiving!  On monday I spent most of the day by myself-- no turkey dinner or anything.  Later Jenn came over and we watched The Prince of Egypt (<3).  We then joined Chris to watch Heroes. 

    I suppose I could say that I'm thankful for a lot of things.  My big move to my own apartment here in St. John's hasn't been the easiest on me all of the time, but it's not so bad.  I am thankful I have a roof over my head and don't have to share it with any annoying roomates (haha).  I'm thankful I got to see my parents this weekend.  Thankful I go to a school where I get to take pictures every day.  I'm thankful I don't have to do the whole long distance relationship thing anymore, even though at times it still feels like I'm in one.  I'm thankful I've got a man that loves me very much.  I'm especially thankful that I have a God that loves me even more.

    Well I have pictures that I should be editing, but going to bed seems much nicer right now-- even if it is only like 9PM.  The storm outside just makes me want to sleep.

    it's like forgetting the words to your favourite song



    My, how the time flies! I cannot believe it is october again already.  Nuts.

    This has been a weird week for school.  Monday was normal enough, but tuesday I got the bus to school only to find out that school was canceled because our instructer was in the hospital.  Yesterday Alex (instructer) still wasn't there but we had to do this ridiculously simple "test" in intro to computers.  That took 10min.  Then we went home.  Today we were supposed to go on a field trip but it's been pouring rain all day, so I went to class anyways and we had a sub.  All we did was read over handouts about the different body types and face shapes and what not, then we did nothing for the remainder of the day.  Well, not nothing entirely.  We decided it would be nice to make Alex a get well soon card, so I used my mad photoshop skills to create an awesome card, then got the whole class to sign it.  Yes...very productive week.  I did write a 2 1/2 page essay (double spaced) on copyright though.  Took me a whole hour to do.  I sympathize with people who actually have to go to "real" school and do real work.

    Tomorrow I'm not even going to class because I am going to YC! Yay! Kutless and Starfield will be there, but I'm not overly excited about the line up this year because in my mind it's hard to top Leeland.  I still enjoy these two bands though, and I'm for sure looking forward to it.  I'm just looking forward to the weekend in general.  Get to see my parents and take pictures and have good times! Heck yes.

    Mmmm...not much else has been happening.  I'm recovering from my cold (bout time).  Still have a bit of a cough though.  Chris and I watched a movie with Mark and Mal last night.  Year One.  Was pretty funny, actually-- if you like that kind of crazy stupid humour...which I do. 

    Anyways, bring on the weekend!

About Me

  • I am 21 years of age. I love photography with a passion and shoot with a Canon 30D. I love Jesus. I enjoy reading, watching movies and being silly with my friends. I like sunsets, long scenic drives, good music, the ocean, campfires, stars, exploring, and deep conversations about things of infinite importance. I have a digestive illness that I am constantly struggling with--but God is good and life is beautiful just the same.
