More Olympics

Last night, katelin Simerson and I went to an Olympics medal ceremony. We got to see Maelle Ricker get her gold medal. There was also a Paul Brandt concert (which was the real reason I went) it was an amazing night. I have heard about all the lines and wait times on the trains, and buses, but I managed to get every bus with the perfect timing. Here are a few pics. I also realized that although I really like BC, and thought I would make it my home, I am going back to Alberta, because it is where I really feel is home for me.

This is what my week looked like this week. Nora was away nights due to a campaign that had something to do with the Olympics, which is why I was working more for them, and at A&W we had the torch run, and the mall is doing stuff for the Olympics, so I was working more for them.

A few of these days I had to pick Julian up from Daycare, but I forget which days.

It was a pretty busy week for me. I am hoping that it will not be so crazy next week. I was tired, but not exhausted.

olympics

I am not a huge "yay olympics" person, but I went to the torch relay to say that I was a part of history, I don't have time to type it all now, but here are some pics.

Long Long time

I seem to always be naming my blog about being a long time since the last time I blogged. I have been pretty busy with both jobs, and I now have the internet stick, so downloading pics uses to much. I am at the library now, so I can download as much as I want. Dad is in Vancouver again, so he is using my internet stick. I have hotmail and facebook on my phone, but I am going to come to the library on my days off to check my other stuff.

So what's new...
Well, I am being made a Supervisor at A&W
I am biking to work
I am not eating sugar
I cut my hair
Here are some random pics
...the one with me covered in blood is from when I attempted to show Winter and Ethan a hiking trail, and I ended up getting a nosebleed. We were on the street about eight minutes from my car, and five minutes from a hiking trail, what to do? It was not stopping, and my hands were covered in blood, so we went back to the car...

Christmas and New Years

Here are some pics from Christmas. For New Years, I was supposed to have Winter, Renato and Yumi over. Winter ended up going with her mom to Naniamo, and Yumi could not find the house, so it was just me and Renato. Nora and Adrian went to a movie, and the kids were in bed. We played Scrabble (I lost) and watched part of RAMBO. Then when Nora and Adrian got home, we went downtown to see if they did anything. Nope, not even a count down. We just stood in a group of people and cheered when the clock moved. It was still pretty fun. Today (Jan 1) Renato and I went to Deep Cover to watch the Penguin plunge (polar bear dip) We went for a hike, and were soaked.

Christmas

This was my first Christmas away from home. I went to a church service at the church that I have been attending, and I really liked it, they sang "Amazing Love" and "Here I am to Worship" as well as the usual Christmas songs. We were up at 06:30 because that's when Julian was up. The kids opened their Santa Presents, then we had Cinnamon buns and bacon. After that we opened all the presents. Nora and Adrian got me a silver horseshoe necklace, and the kids got me a body wash/lotion/loofah kit. Mom and Dad gave me the camera that I took pics with.

Grouse Mountain

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week there are Parent Teacher Interviews, so school is done at 2pm. On Monday, Coco and I went to the Quay. On Tuesday, we went to Grouse Mountain. It was my first time up there. One of Coco's friends have a seasons pass, so they can get others in for half price, so we went with them. We had to go on an eight minute gondola ride (reminded me of the one in Jasper). Then when we were up there, we visited Santa, and the reindeer, and walked around for a bit.
