Hey oustide world!
How is life back home? same old i am guessing! Today we took the train back to hamburg where we shopped and ate food adn hung out. the pic that is of us on water, was taken yesterdaz on a boat on a tour around the harbour in >Hamburg. oh before i forget, my y's are sometimes z because they are switched on the german keyboards so i am not used to typing with them where they are!
Hamburg is good but what a busy city! here are just a few pics from both yessterdaz and today. sorry about the ones that are the wrong way, doesnt work to flip. Did you know that they basicallly let dogs go anywhere here? Malls, stores, a few food places, cafes, crazy. Lots of them are BIG dogs too, some small but most big. so that is it for now, as it is late here and i should be off to shower and tehn bed, talk later! leave a comment, as questions, whatever!

Anyways, I had a little thing called a Birthday this past sunday. It was good. Church in the morning (good Message btw Nathan), and then the afternoon was more packing/prep etc. Then in the evening well for supper was a gathering at my aunts place. It was good to see everyone again, especially the ones I hadnt seen for a while. At one point, with a baby in my arms, I just sat back and enjoyed the moment around me. Yes everything from the latest "gossip"/chatting from my mom and her sisters, to the guys playing cards, to the pool game going on to the baby's playing on the floor. Yes, I am truely blessed to not only have great friends, but an amazingly wonderful family behind me. So thanks so much to you all as well! I know not all familys are like that, yet it is amazing how quickly we take it forgranted and forget. All in all it was a great evening celebrating birthdays, fellowship, food, fun, and making lots of memories!

So that was sunday, yesterday I babysat one last time, had my final small group too so that is done now. Today I have been running around, saying last few good byes, and getting final things in order. Do I really have time to update my blog, no not really cuase my suitcase is just sitting there half paccked and all but hey, its not even 2:00 yet! But i will get on that shortly. How am I doing? Honestly, that remains to be seeing I guess. Part of me is thrilled, I just cant wait!, another part still cant believe it is acutally happening and yet another part wants to curl back up in bed and pretend its not a few days away! So basically mixed feelings. THough I will say I know I would be a nut case if it wasnt for the prayers. So keep em coming! Like ive said, if i start to get nervous about it, I get this calming feeling only GOd can give me-its like hes saying-"I am here, I will never lead nor forsake you daughter, trust me" Ok God, I am trusting you, lead me, you are my light, protect me-you are my fortress, my shield. Love me like you do
So heres to what lies ahead. Thanks again to everyone for everything. Keep me in your prayers!

Oh and dont forget to check back for updates!
CHEERS!

Birthdays, Friends, memories and Fun!

Hey all
Last night we had one final get together with friends, at least for me, for the next few months. IT was good. There are a few of us going on different adventures soon so it was really good to see everyone one more time, laugh, share memories, make memories and go nuts crazy with dutch blitz! Lets not forget that there was also lots and lots of food which was good! All in all a very good evening! Guys, not sure who all reads this, but you are all so special to me! And just spending time with you alll again, reminded me of that! So in these coming months good luck with school, exams, boys (you know who!), and whatever else life throws at you! Just remember to breathe and relax and take it as it comes! Thanks again for the memories!

Today I also did it, I got my hair cut! Not sure how I feel about it yet, as it is something new to get used to but it should be really nice, quick and easy! so check out the pic and let me know what you think of it! It was taken the day of the cut, so not sure how it will look tomorrow! We will see! Oh and check out that horror Frost that we woke up to this morning! IT was quite something, quite amazing so I just had to go the park and snap a few pics!
Cheers!

8 days to go!

8 days to go! wow, crazy but true! Remember to keep me in your prayers! thanks much!

How am I feeling? So many mixed emotions! There are tiimes when I am thrilled and right then and there I want to hop on teh next plane out! Other times I want to crawl up in my bed and pretend it is not coming. I knew i would have these feelings, its very natural but all in all I am excited. I am eager to see what God has instore! To feel fresh air in my lungs, to meet new people, share stories and create new memories. Check out these lyrics off Relient K's Latest cd (who knew they just came out with on? Not me!?! But the CD is very good!)
I want this song to be the song of my life, a reminder that I am taking God with me whereever life leads! Check it out!
I made a habit
Of never making promises
That aren't easy to keep
And there you have it
From now I'll make you one that is
To keep you here with me
But as every second mark goes by
I feel it's just a waste of time
If I'm not with you
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is where you are
(my home is where you are)
It's getting oh so hard
To spend these daysWithout my heart
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I
Could ever I wanna be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know that
I'm taking you with me
And so I'm trying
To hold it all together and
Make it through the day
When I'm just dyin'
To drop it all and take your hand
So we can run away
And all the miles and the hours
That seem to endlessly devour
The time that I could be with you
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is where you are (my home is where you are)
It's getting oh so hard
To spend these days
Without my heart
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that
ICould ever I wanna be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
Where I should have to leave
I hope you know that I
I'm taking you with me
Every second that goes by
Is one more second of my life
And it couldn't be more clear
That I would die without you here
And every second that goes by
Is one more second of my life
And it couldn't be more clear
I'm dying without you here
Yeah every second that goes by (yeah every second that goes by)
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I
Could ever I wanna be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
Where I should have to leaveI hope you know that I
I'm taking you with me

Ice Drops

So today at work, in the lunch rooom, I looked outside and noticed an Icicle coming off the roof at a slant. IF you stop and think about it, how cool is it really how an icicle forms?? I mean imagine being those water drops falling from a roof, and all of a sudden you are frozen in mid air! Looking down far below at the ground! Scary, yet amazing. Its something to think about.

Last sunday, it was nice out, so I went out and Managed to catch this pic of our icicle off our roof, with drops falling. I caught a drop(s), a moment in time. Where is that drop of water now? who knows? Where will it rain/hail/snow down again in this world? Canada? China? Africa? who knows...

Snow!

A few pics from last night snowfall!
Also our little angel, who I will miss

dearly when I am gone!

21 days!

21 days and counting! All I have to say is that this snow, though I love it, has to be gone and NOT Snowing 3 weeks from today!!! What are my chances? Cause like i said, for a person who loves winter, it had better be like +5 when i leave or someting! I will be so glad when I am in stockholm, this whole flying thing with weight limits, connections, papers that I will need etc etc is starting to get me nervous, I just want to be there, skip all of taht part you know?
Pray for me?
