"...And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:13-16

Living La Vida Winnipeg

So I've had this song stuck in my head for hours now...

"oooooh baby do you know what it's worth, oh heaven is a place on earth..." ok so the song dates me a little:) It's Belinda Carlisle, "Heaven is a Place on Earth", that place is not yet Winnipeg. I don't hate it here...I just don't love it yet.

Work is great. I love my job and I love my store and all the other people who work there! Even more I love my new Barista espresso machine that I just bought! I made my first drink tonight!! It was a decaf quad tall vanilla americano with fat free creamer!! Wow I'm going to love having that little machine. It's a machine of goodness and love!

Right so living in the Peg... I love being in a big city, I love working downtown, I am really enjoying my new church - getting to know people and stuff. I've decided to be involved in anything missions oriented at the church. I've already done a missions focused night for the Wednesday night kids program. It was fun. I made up a game called Paul's Missionary Journey. The kids really liked it. Showed my fabulous slideshow from my trip to Mexico. Who knew that Tech for Min class would be so handy. I've shown that slideshow twice now. Thanks Dr. K.

I've seen a few friends from Central. Well I see Laura Patterson about 4 times a week cause we hangout all the time but for people I don't normally hang with I've seen Laura Theissen, Russell Gauthier, Joe Kendrick, Sarah Kendrick and Courtney Bowman. Good Times.

So I live with my cousin Brendan. Our dads are brothers so we both have the same last name. He has two bunnies, Fiesty and Flopsy. They're great. I love them even though I'm allergic to them. When Brendan is out of town I look after them, cleaning their pen and feeding them. I do have to wear a mask when I'm with them or I can't breathe for awhile:( Living here is great, Brendan and I get along well. He's just happy he has his very own barista...ha ha.

I'm going home to Grande Prairie for Christmas. I'm only going to be there for 3 days. I can't really afford to take more time off. I'm just glad that I get to go at all.

I'm going to try and get back in the blogging groove now that I feel so far away from everyone but that would require my computer to be fixed so we'll see when that happens.

Peace out y'all

Jesus, I totally forgot about this blogging thing. I was sitting here thinking of you and this crazy thought entered "READ HER BLOG"... I barely remembered the address!! Buuuut, I'm gonna bookmark it here now and I'll be checking back more frequently.

I only have 3 days off for Christmas too... :( I'm excited to be home with my family and friends for the first time in 7 years, but three days, come on thats a rip off... I might as well just move back! Haha.

Oh hey, I got offered my own store!! But it's in Labrador... so I dunno if I am going to take it or not, I have to decide by the end of the week, ahhh, the stress!

I LOVE YOU!! And I'm happy that you are doing good with work and stuff, I hope the peg grows warm fuzzies on ya!

TO THE COD!
