Summer is finally here....

...and I feel like I'm living in a tropical paradise. It has been crazy hot, but with the warm breeze and blue skies - it's amazing. Our little office at work gets pretty warm upstairs, but we're pretty close to the marina so the breeze off the water is nice. Needless to say, I usually have a smile on my face as the rainy clouds have disappeared.
Summer has been going swell. Work has been good and I've been enjoying my time there. YFC camps have started up, so I'm down at the camp as much as I can, wishing I could be there all summer long. I find it so encouraging being around the youth again and being soaked in some biblical teaching and hearing what they're all learning. Spiritually, I feel a little dry these days, the Lord has been good in sustaining me and giving me peace and joy, but it's been a struggle to keep my nose in the bible. I know it's what my heart needs the most, but yet I still don't do it...thus, I'm trying to get my butt in gear.
But here are a few shots from the last few weeks...

Tara came for a visit on the weekend, which was a superb and relaxing weekend.

Michelle had a delicious fondue dinner at her house:D

Finally went mini-golfing with the pals. These two twins are hardcore golfers though...

...and thus, they sadly crushed Hannah and I.

I've also been able to catch up with some old pals...like Kierra:)

Then some rad Trinity pals came for a visit, so Han and I headed down to Nanaimo to pick them up.

And we were able to go horseback riding which was amazing! We were suppose to have thunderstorms, but thankfully no thunder - just a fantastic hardcore rain pouring down, which was later replaced by some lovely sun. It was a perfect ride.

Having a bbq.

Saying farewell at the ferry...

So it's been quite an eventful summer so far, and I'm loving it. I still have some rad friends coming out to visit in August - and finally my dear dear friend Jayme will be returning home and I can't wait! Hope summer is treating you all well:)
