okay im back at school, trying to get through my yucky 6 hour break today. it is CRAWLING by today for some reason. i was in a pretty awesome mood this morning i must say. it probably had something to do wiht the awesome bible study some of us girls had last night. we talked about prayer and stuff. it was great. and then this morning the weather was beautiful, i love not being hit with a freezing wall of cold when i step outside.
sooo i had a blood transfusion last thursday. i had a hemagloben (red blood cell) count of 77, normal is about 140. so i was pretty tired, pale…getting a tad dizzy. but i didnt realize the extent of my tiredness until AFTER they started giving me blood. (sounds gross..trust me I KNOW. it IS kinda gross…but i suppose it’s worth it.!)
so i gotta wicked bruise on my right wrist now. its huge. haha brian said no one is more proud of their bruises than i am….
so my lovely cousin lisa got married this past saturday. she looked beautiful. I wish her the best in her marriage, and that they keep God as their focus. The reception was at an old train station in Hamilton…it was GORGEOUS. and me, adam, uncle ray and Brenda totally danced our butts off. it was great..
the country was well represented at this wedding, some people were doing a super cool ho-down!! i couldnt help but laugh cus i totally wish i could do that!!
sunday we also had killer young peoples. suuuuch a good discussion. it was about ruth laying down at boaz’s feet, whether her and naomi were being too pushy…whether they should have waited for boaz to come to them….whether it’s okay for girls to ask out guys (which of course it is, as long as the girl doenst end up with the headship role) it was really good.
and at bible study last night we talked about prayer and how so often we as girls find it hard to pray out loud, for a group. and we end up thinking more about how eloquent we sound…using big words…whether or not we sound like we know what we’re talking about. But how it doenst matter HOW we sound, it’s about what we say and that God alreayd knows what we want to say and what we are feeling so its all good.
So yes. that was a pretty good weekend. And i think tonight im watching scary movies with mel and steph…and our boyfriends i suppose lol…but we dont like scary movies….so we shall just have to wait and see how that goes.
Love you!kate

okay. SO. i had a pretty good weekend. On friday i hung out with steph..we saw ‘the prestige’…super good movie by the way..then we bought her hair dye and we went back to her house where i dyed her hair and we had a sleepover! cool!! then we got ready for Brittany Ormel’s wedding to Dave VanHuizan together in the morning. The reception was tons of fun. We all danced our butts off until it was late then had to rush home to get to bed so we wouldnt be too exhausted for church in the morning. I LOVE DANCING!!
Anyhoo..i was pretty tired yesterday and had a hard time getting up to go to school this morning.and here i sit.
So this summer i started interviewing my grandparents..via email…and they are so interesting im in awe. i just got another email all about Grandpa and his life during WW2, and then going to Indonesia. its incredible. i would suggest you all ask you grandparents about their lives. wow.
love ya!
