Thinking about home...

I'm kinda just home chillin' by myself this afternoon. I've been listening to Jars of Clay.. and pretty much its been like this slideshow of memories have been going through my mind as the music plays. I've been more homesick than usual for CB lately.. that's probably directly related to the fact that my whole family was just there last week without me. I heard all the great stories and saw all the pictures, but really its not the same not being in those pictures. I sometimes kinda just wish that I was still a cook at CBBC and spending my time cooking and sitting at the top of that hill. It's funny cause it's like a famous hill.. so much happened there, I've sat on it everytime I've gone to CBBC since I was 5. I've always felt like I had the world at my feet sitting there.. and I really I did when I was there. I guess I just felt like writing about the early years for me, I miss it because I dont think I daydream as much here in Ontario.. its like theres no time for that nonsence anymore. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to sit at the top of that hill.. I know it'll be soon.

A bitter sweet vacation

It's nearing the end of the second week of our teachers strike and I'm not so sure I'm crazy about this vacation anymore. However, instead of being in barrie alone this week I most likely will be spending the week in London with my family while Matt is away. So theres a bonus. Really I haven't decided how I feel yet, I'll let you know when they figure out if they're gonna graduate me or not.
Anyway.. besides all that kerfuffle.. I have some good news! I got a job for the summer at this fine dining restaurant in Woodstock. Funny thing is I'm probably not even going to be doing much kitchen work while I'm there. I told the owner I'd rather waitress.. but that I had to do a little cooking so I could pretend I learned something during my Co-op in my field. :P So the summer plans are coming together nicely!! I wont be in CB much but I know that it'll still be a good time in NB at the lake and hopefully me and Matty make a couple trips up this summer. It just isnt the same these days having to look at the teen camp pictures instead of being in them.

This is a sucky picture and logo of the restaurant I will most likely be working at this summer.

This is a random picture of some girls that I really miss.. hope we're all together again someday soon!

Well,
I know this is a random thing to say.. but I'm pretty sure that boys will never have a clue about girls. I dont think that this is a revolutional thought or anything.. I was just thinking. I dont think I'll ever be able to explain my brain to any guy.. I try and try.. but I fail. It's funny because all the while I'm turning red in the face trying to explain myself.. I actually love that no one understands. I know that I'm definetly not the only girl in the world that is confusing.. but I kinda like thinking that I know how I feel and know one else does.. Only me, myself and I. Really the only time this theory doesn't work.. is when I dont fully understand myself. :P Those are the days that you just sit in your room and watch TV all day and hope that no one talks to you.. the only thing worse than not understanding yourself is having other people know about it!
** I think it's fair that after this blog I put a picture of me and Matty.. I'm sure that theres lots of people who havent yet met him!

Hey Guys,
Well we just found out last night that I possibly dont have school for a while. I'm one of the 150,000 students in Ontario that is off of school because of the infamous teachers strike. I guess I dont mind having a few days to go home and relax.. but I really will mind if I loose my semester. Who knows really.. I'm crossing my fingers that that won't actually happen. On the bright side.. I bought chacos this weekend. I know that's a gay thing to be excited about.. but they happened to be the kind of item that I never thought I'd actually buy.
For all the folks out in CB this month.. I really wish I could be there.. it's like CB reunion. My whole family is leaving tomorrow (except obviously Jeff) and I'm prolly gonna end up even driving them to the airport.. but I'm not going. It's a little risky to take a vacation while the teachers are striking.. it could last weeks.. or it could last days. Also it's my one year anniversary this weekend and I can't imagine not spending it with Matt. I'm praying for the Missions trip to CB this week and I know that God is going to bless many people through the groups actions this week. I'm really proud of Sar and Leigh for putting the whole trip together, God has given them an amazing vision for the Island. Anywho, I'm out!

Hey guys!
Well this is my new blog! I was sick of not being able to put up pictures or comment on anyone else's blog.. so i switched! Anywho.. stay tuned for later postings...
