6 months later...

...and i challenge myself. the day i left my DTS, we wrote letters to ourselves. i received mine this weekend. at first i was really weirded out by a letter from alberta, to me, in my handwriting...and then it all came back :) interesting to read. i would say some of the goals i set for myself have definitely been answered, and others have been put aside, but not forgotten. jennie said to herself, and i quote, "whatever you're doing is great!" and i think tarah wrote "you'd better be engaged by now!". how was that for you guys? wow. i can't believe it's been 6 months. in another month, it will be a year since i left. and it feels so recent. i miss you guys with all my heart, and yet it feels like it all happened in the distant past of yesterday. funny how music takes you to memories. i was listening to Now is the Time, heather clark, etc., and when i closed my eyes, i was at the ranch. then i listened to jason upton, and the mystery vineyard cd....all in a row, and i get pretty nostalgic!

i'm home now for a week! it feels soo good. i slept till 1100 today. it was beautiful! and now i have the whole day to do....NOTHING! truly amazing!! i think i'm going to make valentines from foam - my mom bought sheets of pink, white, purple and red foamy stuff that you can cut and glue and we have glitter glue to make it even prettier! that's my agenda for the day. and then tomorrow, it's off to visit mrs. rempel and have my mole removed. in the reverse order. maybe today i will also unpack and clean my room...not as fun as making valentines :)

and hey! people weren't too keen on me chatting with bus drivers, hey? don't worry, when i say he knows where i live, i mean i told him i was going home to winkler. very broad terms. okay, so my sister is coming over to do homework on our computer, so i'll get off for now. Lord, be with eva, jenny, andrea and michelle, and the whole team in mexico! give them boldness and joy for you!
