I'm Back!
Hello friends and family who might still read this blog.
I haven't done the best job at staying on top of this blogging, but here is another round of photos from the last month-ish.

It was AWESOME to be home over Christmas and to spend time at home with the family, and to catch up with friends. I (as well as our whole family), really missed having Jeff home this year since he was out in Germany for the holidays. But it was still great to forget about school and to enjoy the people back home again.

After arriving back at school, we've jumped back into training for rowing. Since the weather is pretty cold still this time of year, we can't be in the water yet, so we do indoor rowing on the rowing machines - also called 'ergs'. Last weekend we went to an indoor competition, and we're heading to another one next weekend.

Here's most of our team at the competition:)

This is Krista and me, reinacting how we felt after our races.
We've also been up to some good fun with some of the dorm gals as well. One night we went out to the woods and built a tire swing. Study Breaks are a necessity in this world of homework. It usually consists of hanging out with friends, eating some sort of food, and hopefully getting a few laughs in.
One Sunday evening, Hannah, Kari, Rika and I grabbed a few dingy's and went for a paddle around the school pond.
The most recent events was the regathering of our friendly gang. Between homework and living in different spots this year, we haven't all be able to hang out as much as the old days. So this past Friday, Hannah, Bryan, Kris, Billy and I took off on an adventure.
We stopped first at the beach, which for me was most excellent. A few breaths of ocean air did the heart good. It's always been a place for me to collect a few thoughts and just appreciate the Lord's creation which is dear to my heart.

Han and Me:)
We then took off up to Whistler and found a frozen lake and ice skated. It was such a blast. Definitely felt like I had a bit of a holiday.

Missions Fest was also this weekend, so we headed into Vancouver. Again, I felt so blessed to run into my old youth groups from the island, Capernwray staff, and other friendly faces.

Bruce Olson (also known as 'Bruchko', his first book), spoke at Missions Fest this year, and it was incredible to hear his stories and the amazing things the Lord has done in his life. Since we had to read his book while we were at bible school, Danny (a friendly Capernwrayer) and I, were pretty stoked to hear and meet this man face to face.
So for the most part, I've been keeping busy, and thankfully have fun moments of relief within the schoolwork. I'm constantly learning how to juggle everything and to make a healthy balance. But I have a desire to become a bit more of a brainiac, so hopefully next time I'll have some great and interesting school facts for you all.

Thanks for reading once again, until next time:)
