Where has the summer gone!?

As usual, the summer is coming to a close - and it's absolutely shocking that months have flown by, and fall courses and university life are once again knocking at my door.

I finished up my time at work, and had a most enjoyable farewell luncheon with my office crew and some ACTS volunteers. They are some of the most kind hearted, faith inspiring, adventure

seeking, living life to the full group of people I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with. I feel quite blessed to be able to share in coversations with them, and to soak in their thoughts and wisdom in my own life.

I was given some wonderful flowers from Tricia, as well as Judy, with my finale at work, so I was able to enjoy some phenomenal farewell flowers.Jeff and Antonia finally made it home from England as well. Soon after, my folks, the one-year married couple and I jumped in our good ol' blue van and embarked on a road trip to Edmonton to visit my Grampa. Thus, we've been hanging out here ever since and will soon be returning to the island.

This quick return will consist of farewells to my wonderful friends at home, a quick pack job to return to school, the wedding of my stellar older brother, and a ferry ride which will take me to university for a fourth year...sigh...quite an end.

I enjoyed a most amazing ride on the ferry over to the mainland. I was captivated by the blue sky, mighty breeze, and hot sun. I just sat on the deck, prayed for the year ahead, and enjoyed

the view. It did my heart well.

Antonia and I conviced Dad and

Jeff to join us for the rollercoast at West Ed. Mall - which was SO much fun! Jeff was a little terrified,

and Dad was a tad nervous, but they made it through.

And! I finally reconnected with my beloved fire breathing dragon. It was great.

Well, I'm signing off for the evening. My eyes are getting sleepy, and I can use all the sleep I can get before returning to the life of a university student.
