I cut my strings and went wandering...


Saturday was a roller coaster of a day for me to say the least.

It started with a an early morning road trip to Coombs with none other than my sister. Weird right? Well she texted me a few days previous and for some unknown reason decided she liked me enough to want to spend the day with me.

Arriving in the lil tourist town we ate some fantastic breaky, bought some Mexican sweaters, and chatted up the Wabi Sabi boys for a solid half hour (at least I did :P)

After exploring we decided to go down to Nanaimo to get our shop on. Highlight of this part of the day was finding two CD's that I had previously owned but lost for $20! Gotta love HMV. (These would happen to be The Strokes "Is this it" and Joni Mitchell "Hits")

The goal of the day was to be back in D-town before 4 (that just made me think of B44 that cheesy band from the '90s. Anyone?) so that Cass and I could check out the Kelsey Graduation, well it was about 1 o'clock when we left Nanaimo for home and I had just received a text that some buds of mine were going to play basketball and of course I couldn't refuse.

Allison dropped me off at Quam for a little 3 on 3 sesh and man was it good, I haven't played Ball since eleventh grade and I surprised myself that I could still get it in the basket from time to time, my free throws are rather marvey :p. We then decided to play soccer and this is where I made a mistake for as of right now I can still barely walk!

Cassia swooped by to pick me up and we made our way to the school. Frick I gotta admit people dressed up all pretty turns me into the biggest dweeb ever. I gush and awe over everyone and even tear up a little, I was a proud Mama Bear to my buddy Colleen who looked superbly gorgeous as she is normally a bit of a tomboy.


The highlight was seeing my boy Sam make his way down the red carpet as he really pulled it together to graduate on time and I am so proud!

Afterwards we went to the Filgate's for a BBQ and a lot of laughs! It was nice reconnecting with old friends and the burgers weren't half bad either.

On another note, don't play sports in sparkly toms for you will get blisters.

The end.

    I have a B44 CD if you wanted to borrow it because you lost that one too.

I'm just a lovesick fool....

Ugh it's official the so called "love bug" has bitten and it's gettin itchy folks. I hate it when they text you and then you reply and it takes ages for them to get back to you, it's practically instantaneous people! Like c'mon. My friend D was recently engaged in one of these situations and she was all stoked on the prospect of a possible new boy in her life, until he totally crumpled that hope into a paper ball and tossed in into the garbage can by completely blowing her off. I wonder if that is what God feels like when we ignore Him. Does He pace back and forth, pulling on His hair waiting for us to reply to His text message? Does He freak out when He finally receives a reply and all it says is "K." It kind of changes my whole perspective of the situation. But for now I'm just going to relish in the fact that God never ignores us when we initiate contact, even if that super cute guy does. Damn those biceps, they get me every time.

I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too...

My body is so filled with excitement right now it's disgusting. My friend and I are about to embark on our own "Most excellent adventure" . Her birthday is coming next week along with her reading break and I booked the whole week off of work so we can initiate what we will refer to as "Super epic birthday week." We intend to re-hash all of our radtastic adventures such as going to Saltspring, Victoria, and a myriad of crazy experiences in between. I am so stoked! You know the type of friend I mean, the one who knows you inside and out, knows just what to say when you need to hear it, and most of all, loves you not for who you are but in despite of who you are. I have many good friends but very few compare to this girl. The thing is, this little lady friend of mine, is really the only one who just "gets" me. We've been buds since the seventh grade but it really wasn't until we graduated that this huge bond grew between us. We have so many memori...

There's a reason that I love this town...

So if you were in Duncan yesterday you would have to agree that it was gorgeous out! Looks like Spring has finally appeared and is trying to stick around. Seriously though I love where I live sometimes. We are surrounded by so much green, lush, nature that I am constantly being reminded of God's glory and infinite beauty. The day would not of been complete without a visit to the Corfield Cafe in the Duncan Garage so I went and ordered some lunch as per usual but this time instead of enjoying the atmosphere inside I took my meal to go. Wandering around I decided to take a seat in this little park wedged between some buildings right down town. Now usually when you walk past there are homeless people scattered all around but today it was vacant and waiting for me. While the sun warmed my back I finished my super delicious meal and made my way into the downtown core to read my book. After a while I started to feel rather lonely. I'm reading "Irresistible revolution" by Sh...
