Summer has begun...

School finished well...papers were finished...exams were completed...aches and pains in my hand from endless writing are now relieved as I sit on my couch back home, wrapped up in a cozy blanket.  It is fabulous to be home, eat good food, crawl into an extra comfy bed at night, get the fresh scent of salty ocean air, enjoy the company of my parents and good friends, and having the time to pick up a good book more often than I used to.

A few wonderful memories that occurred before returned home for the summer are available now, for your eyes to see!

Occasionally, school and technology wreak havoc and chaos - so returning to our childhood to play with sidewalk chalk and creating fake crimescenes was an excellent study break:)
My dear friend Terri from Capernwray came for a quick visit right after classes ended, and it was stellar to have time to hang out again, eat junk food, and laugh:)
A group of twenty of our friends went down to Seattle after exams were done to hang out and watch a Mariner's baseball game - it was a sweet time and we had a blast having one last big adventure together.

With Hannah graduating this year, we will no longer all be living together next year.  So we had some good quality time with our foursome.  We went out for high tea at a cute little shop, and had some roommate photos done by our professional neighbour, Stefan Matias.  (One of the photos will end this blog entry.  [Also, Stefan's photography can be checked out at: www.stefanmatisphotography.com]

So life ended well, it's been rad being home.  I'm working back at ACTS (www.acts. ca) again for the summer, and I'm happy to be back there.  I'm excited for the summer ahead...I shall keep you posted if anything exciting comes up ahead.

Highlight to look forward to in June: Marking exams in June with Joy...photos will follow:)
