February's Fantastic Fun...

February has been a full, fast and fun month. Spring 'Reading' Break is finally upon us and this is one of my last things to cross off my agenda before heading home to my beloved island. So here's the scoop from the last few weeks...

I was told that if I wore a wedding dress to my Student Ministry interview for a position for next year, that it would make a great impression. Thus, Kari helped to hook me up with a stylish dress...I went for my interview and made a shocking entrance. I'm happy to report: I have the position I wanted for next year, and I'll be a Discipleship coordinator again with 3 other ladies and 2 other fellows.


We have a Rowing Regatta at the end of February, so our crew had a bake sale to raise some funds. The boys came over to help bake some cookies, White Chocolate Macademia Nuts, tastey stuff.

Here are some of the ladies at the sale...

...the selection was phenomenal and oh-so-good and we made a good amount to help out.

My 'sister' Julia (we share the same b-day), came over for an evening for a TWU viewday, so it was fun to catch up with her:)

Last weekend, Trinity was a busy place with Spartan playoffs happening, mens and womens volleyball, and men's volleyball went on Thursday to Saturday and kept us fans busy.
Our school government came up with the idea of selling 300 tickets for fans who wanted to dress in the epic garb of the 300 movie. We made an entrace of fear, however, our chanting and cheering was not enough to win that evening's basketball game, however, we won the set overall.

Valentine's Day! Kari, Rika and I had a wonderful date to the movies to see Slumdog Millionaire (fantastic movie!), and then to Starbucks for coffee and laughs. It was a stellar night:)

This past Tuesday was the big CANAM football evening. I have no pictures of our girls game, but here is our guys Canada team. Only 2 American girls showed up for our game, so we basically had Canada vs. the mix team. We sadly lost to a final overtime touchdown, and our guys lost as well. It was a bitter ending, and hopefully we can have a rematch by the end of the year.

And this morning I was finally able to catch up with the Macaulay family, who is basically my second family. Two weeks ago, little Victoria became the new addition, and now has three fantastic older brothers to watch over her:)
With that...I sign off!
I'm heading off to see Jayme, some Capernwray friends, home buddies, and my dear parents. Most of the time I'll be locked away doing homework for a week, but rest and recooperation is in the air!
Blessings:)
