Hello my friends who might end up reading this oft neglected blog :) It is my intent to write here about my adventures this summer to keep people informed who might be interested. If that's you...welcome. I arrived at CanAdventure Education just outside of Sayward, BC on Vancouver Island 4 days ago. Coming to a new place with all new faces is always a bit nerve wracking and involves some

I am not self-made. I love this statement becuase it reflects how much we NEED each other! I used to think I could live by myself on the side of a mountain and be completely happy. In the past 10 years however that has reversed dramatically...well not the living on the mountain part, but the by myself part :) I need people!! and if you are reading this, I probably need YOU! thanks for being a

The Lord gives and takes away... Why is this so hard to understand sometimes and so hard to accept? Some people focus on the give, and when they sing this or think about it they are filled with thankfulness or prayerful desire, where as some focus on the take and try really hard to still bless the name of God in their pain...maybe most have been in all of these places at different times or

“Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives the big things. We prevent God from giving us the great spiritual gifts He has in store for us, because we do not give thanks for daily gifts. We think we dare not be satisfied with the small measures of spiritual knowledge, experience, and love that has been given to us, and that we must constantly be looking forward eagerly for the

Nature…I wonder what this word makes you think of? What comes to mind when you hear it? A specific place? A certain event? Maybe something of a natural sort like trees or mountains, or maybe human nature? Nature really encompasses many different aspects of life and I believe that is because we were created by God who created all those facets of nature itself. I love the natural world…I would

well I was thinking today as I was painting that I feel like I've done so many different things over the years and been in so many different places that I find it hard to keep track of myself never mind other people keeping track of me (if any do). It never fails that when i go somewhere like church or meet someone out and about that somebody will come up to me and ask me where I am living now or

It felt like the middle of July (although in Alberta that's not saying much actually) Obviously that guy in the background thought we looked better from the other side :) He's one of the photographers.

I think I have a habit of holding on to things when I should really just let them go. It's sort of this compulsive fear that If I let it go it will never come back, so I have to just hoard it so I get to keep it, even if its just a possibility of something, and not even reality. Like hoarding the idea, becuase if i don't, it wont come true. This really leads to a lot of worry about things not

This article amazed me! It's a US study, but seeing as we sort of follow our southern neighbours it is probably amost the same in Canada. Kids are growing up having their lives documented in cyberspace. Somehow I sort of think this is an invasion of their privacy and rights. I guess kids have to trust their parents until they choose to put their own voice on the internet, which is happening at a

I've accepted that I probably wont write here every day, but I feel like my life is taking another turn and there is some new stuff happening so a fresh look and renewed commitment to sharing might actually happen! hopefully! I guess the newest is that I've started attending Canadian University College in Lacombe Alberta. I like Lacombe...its a small city but retains a cute town feel. I'm in

I recently finished reading the "Millenium Series". If that name doesn't ring any bells, it might help if I say "the girl with the dragon tattoo" books. I was introduced to them on a recent trip to europe; my traveling companion was reading the first one, as was another random airline passenger in the row next to us. I figured it was another New York times best seller that I probably wouldn't

i'm trying to make a decision....do i keep this blog? and commit to being a little more faithful to it...ORdo i end this attempt at online expression...I'm torn. I'm terrible at decisions...especially when it means black or white, yes or no, where there is no compromise with another choice...i'm realizing I tend to want all options, and often try a lot without pursuing a lot to complete ends.

My pride and joy. A beautiful cherry pie.The runners' up, pumpkin 1 and pumpkin 2 (although these were the winners according to my family)These are just empty shells of their former selves... (teehee)oh the dough.And finally what makes it all possible...LARD.Yay for the most fattening of all substances.

I'm about to embark on a VERY serious mission......I am......about to make this years thanksgiving dinner pumpkin pies.If you didn't already know this about me...i don't like pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving is the one holiday where dessert doesn't tempt me in the least. I am happy to make the pie though. It's funny how thanksgiving is so much about the pie, but I guess no more than Easter often

Suddenly, as the rope coiled around my body, the spikes strapped onto my feet, and the bug eyed polarized glasses went onto my face....I felt like a mountaineer. Amazing. I was learning how to survive on the ice, climb the ice, move on the ice and in the process love the ice. Despite the numb toes, then the thawing toes bringing on what's descriptively called the "screaming barfies", and the

When i arrived in June I could barely see my house for the snow...literally. I found it though and now it is much clearer but we still have snow on the ground...yes you can now feel sorry for me :) Things I

The funniest thing happened yesterday...I was sitting in one of the computer labs at school. I had been there for almost 8 hours straight, besides about an hour break, working on a computer assignment, when my phone rang...the people on the other end proceeded to say "Rebecca?" and then without waiting for an answer, sang me happy birthday! When it was all over, i thanked them, but told them

I totally thought of something today that I wanted to blog about and now it is in some little box in my brain and doesn't want to come out...so instead i will show you some pictures. My friend Kim came to visit from Seattle last weekend and we had a great time playing Wii, sitting in the hot tub, going to the ski hill, reading, eating....and making very tasty salsa!

I was just about to go to bed when i remembered...BLOG! Today I will muse on the story of the lady who just had octuplets. I just watched Dateline where they interviewed her pretty in depth....and she seems surprisingly...rational.

Today I bought a starbucks mug. It looks like this. Made of 29% recycled materials. I bought it becuase, well i needed a new one, but i also feel bad every time i get a disposable cup. So I was so excited to get a drink in my new mug because you get a free beverage when you purchase it. So i got to the counter and the lady told me you can't get your drink in the mug on the day you buy the

This day was a rest day, which included a trip to Araguay where the main street is lined with ceramics of every kind. It was so colorfully stimulating, and among some of the more gaudy, cheesy pieces were some beautifully handcrafted pots, wall hangings, lamps, figurines etc. The people here are very into figurines...lawn ornaments and little things you put on a shelf in your house. Well here was

These pictures represent what's happened in the last week of my life :) I've realized that maybe i needed to paint without getting paid to really enjoy it! It is amazing how when you are a part of something God has put together, it doesn't matter what you are doing so much, you just work as hard as you can, this just happens to be painting.So this is the center we are working at.

Hola from Paraguay South America!!!!Some of you may know i'm here and some may not, so i thought i'd write a little blurb on what's been going on with me. I have an Aunt who lives here in Asuncion Paraguay as a missionary. For a long time i've wanted to visit her and i've just never made the opportunity happen, but now it just sort of fell in my lap. Two days a week my Aunt works at an AIDS

Today the snow is here....:) and i am happy. I woke up, looked outside and this is what I saw. There is something about the first snowfall of the season....first it makes me thankful i am warm and cozy and have lots of good books to read, then it makes me excited about Christmas and seeing my family, and finally I begin to think of all the fun activities that I will do in the lovely white powder

Wow, time is flying by! I can't believe another two and a half weeks and i will be going home for christmas! I can't wait! Since we haven't been going out on any trips lately most of my days are spent in class, at the gym/pool, or....in my room. (my room happens to be really cool). Mostly i am in my room working on a ton of assignments or studying...yes STUDYING. Even though i am in adventure

So I was looking at my bank account information on-line yesterday (something i dont do very often, mostly because its depressing at how quickly it goes down...) and i noticed that payments were still coming out from some house related companies that i thought were taken care of! i.e. hundreds of dollars I am paying on a non-existent house!This made me pretty upset. This....made....me.....pretty

So much has happened in the last three weeks!!! I've been mountaineering, white water kayaking and sea kayaking! Sometimes I think back to it all and am so surprised at all i'm doing. I think giving the details off all of it will take WAY too long and take up WAY too much space, but i'm happy to share some lessons i've learned:1. living in a tiny hut with 9 males takes patience...and an open

So I tried posting on my iphone and it didn't really let me write, except for the title...hence the post with no info. So here is the rest....I feel like its been a process for me since I moved to kamloops. A process of accepting the change. Just being in school again, in a new city, with new people...not really having a plan. For these first couple of weeks I haven't been too sure about it

well, this place is growing on me. The past few days of class have been great! I'm in university and learning about sleeping bags, hiking boots, jackets....and of course REAL stuff too like maps, compasses, weather readings....;) haha. today we set up tents......I also went to the pool today. we get free access and its a nice pool with lane swimming all the time. I learnt that I can't swim.

Sometimes I just have to laugh at myself...There was a "get to know you" bbq for the adventure students yesterday evening that i planned to go to, so i got ready and started driving to the university. I missed the turn i had planned to take so i thought i would turn around and kept driving and thought maybe this road goes to the university so i'll just go straight.. (because all roads go to the

Well, here I am again having neglected this blog for seven months, but now...yes NOW i think i am going to keep writing and keep people updated on my life. Why does it always seem like there needs to be something "exciting" going on for me to think people are interested?? I dont know, maybe this will continue to be as un-read as ever! But Shelley I know you're out there ;)It is so interesting

Hello Friends! :).......if you still check this after i am so neglectful of it!I am ready to go to Kenya!!!! I keep meeting people who have been there, literally i think 5 people in the last month and a half i have randomly met that have travelled or lived in Kenya in the past six months. It just gets me so excited and feels like such a confirmation of what i am doing. Plus I now know i have to

I just got told by my mechanic that i was paranoid. I hear clicking somewhere in my car when i turn, but of course when i took it for a drive with him......nothing, notta, zero, zipperonie. So of course now its all in my head. Oh boy! but the thing is i want to sell my little pepe and i want it to be in tip top shape.

So we arrived in London on July 2...the day after a number of bomb threats right around our hostel area! no worries, we are now gone and didnt explode! Some things ive learned since coming to britian:1. black men do not have white hands2. roads that appear to be one way can really fit two cars3. dont stop on a sidewalk in london during "coming home from work time" you will get run over by people4

Tuscany....To me it brought images of villas, cobbled streets,little old ladies, and good wine! I must say i was not dissapointed!!! Florence (above) was a busy town! We waited three hours in line to see Michaelangelos David, and decided that was going to be our art experience of Italy. It was magnificent! We could have probably spent weeks in florence and gone to a different museum or gallery

I was in B.C. this past week. Vancouver island to be more specific. Well, to get really detailed, we stayed in campbell river and tofino. From campbell river we took a ferry over to Quadra island for a day and did a hike up the chinese mountains. Why they are chinese i'm not sure....but the view is spectacular! The flowers are blooming in B.C.!! oh sweet daffodills you are so yellow and pretty.

I went to petsmart yesterday to buy a litterbox.....yes you know what this means....i'm expecting :) ...A cat that is. Probably just house sitting one for a while, but after that i know i will want my own, so i thought i would invest now.

I have never had such a whirlwind trip as this past weekend to Las Vegas! And by whirlwhind i mean whirlwind! Like 48 hours NO sleep whirlwind! So normally "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas" (as this truck with a screen-like billboard blared for everybody to remember) and i can see why this slogan is so popular. A lot could happen in vegas that wouldn't or shouldn't be shared....but not to

So i was looking through my "hope" chest the other day and found a list i compiled on October 12, 2002 (thank goodness for printers that print dates on pages). It was a list of 100 things i want to do in my life. I went through it and checked off 35 things i had already accomplished! crazy! things like: learn the violin, have dreads, graduate college, be present when my cat dies....simple stuff,

Look at this bounty! After emptying all of my grocery bags the other day I had to take a picture and a moment to praise God for "giving me my daily bread". I don't have to worry about going hungry....i am humbled by that, because many people do.A quote:" A humanist in choking sea called for help and presently received in full intensity advice.

I love greenery with white lights!! my cupboards and my bookshelves look great in it!

I've just finished reading Tuesday's with Morrie.....again. I think its the third or fourth time i've read it and every time i....cry, but i also get so many good life lessons out of it that i try to put into practice. I even came up with my own aphorism today. It goes like this:"find meaning in your present circumstances"People are always trying to find meaning in life. Meaning isn't what life

i'd like to know who murphy is and asking him why he made up this stinkin' law....About a month ago i agreed to sub a 6:30 am pilates class on Nov. 28. that is today. Well don't you know it but because its been so cold (-28) the school where i teach decided to close just for today! Yes, i would have had the sleep in day that i've been waiting for for three weeks, but no....it was a 6:00 am start

I just fullfilled a tiny goal today! Ever since hearing about Gunther Von Haggens BODYWORLDS exhibit of plastinated human bodies i have REALLY wanted to see it! It was showing in Toronto in February of this year, but sadly flights didn't work out to get there in time. So when i was in vancouver this august i saw it was coming to science world and promptly planned to come back for it! Well....

kelly if you're reading this, this is for you......so i went to cost-co for lunch today. I had a craving for fries, then poutine was mentioned which immediately makes me think of cost-co becuase they have poutine that i beleive is the closest to the real stuff i first tried in quebec. Yet again i wasn't dissapointed! I feel the need to let the world know...well at least the world of people that

So i broke down and decided to carve a pumpkin....I'm not really a celebrater of this particular day on the calendar, for a number of reasons that i could list, but i know it can just be a day to dress up and carve a pumkin too, so i've done one of those things and that is what i'll stick with. Plus we made really yummy snacks!Blood-shot eyeball cupcakes...wooo..haah...haha carving away....i

Tamara's wedding finally happend! This has been almost three years in the making, and it was every bit as beautiful as it should have been! Probably one of the smoothest executed weddings in history, with a lot of laughs and LOVE absolutely EVERYWHERE! My family is the greatest!Two runs through at the rehearsal and everyone was "good-to-go" I realized that rehearsals, when they are smooth, are

Fall is SUCH a beautiful time of year! This year it meant a visit from my good friend shelley, who was out from vancouver to take some pictures of our amazing alberta leaves, trees, fields, barns.....the leaves were amazing...and SOO fun to play in. I had to restrain myself from making a big pile and jumping in it, just like when i was a kid.....hmmm maybe i still will. The fields were also

My friend Ann just had a baby a week and two days ago!! I'm so excited because they have wanted a baby for ages and now She is here! YAY!! little Emiko is so sweet and such a good baby. well, at least while i was there i didn't see too much crying or poop.All of a sudden when you are a parent you can no longer live for youself. This is an interesting concept to me. This life is now in your hands

Cauldron Lake....nestled among majestic peaks...fed by stunning glaciers....quite nice to cool my feet off!! Peyto Lake...our first spectacular sight. We had to cross the river on these logs, and although it may look like you need to keep your balance....there were wires on either side, but still fun, and one did almost clothesline me at the end. That would have been exciting! I found this

Four beautiful women painting on the beach...it was quite a show judging from all the attention we got from passers by!!This beach is called Jericho beach. great place, and this day was so georgous! One of the biggest reasons for me coming out west was the ocean. So when Shelley's roomie sara who is an art therapist (far right) suggested a painting time i combined the two and said we should then

Summer is F-U-N i tell ya! The mountains call to me and ask me to play. how could i possibly resist?Maligne Lake, Jasper AB.My two very cool friends, Nicole (far right) and Laura (middle). Here we are on the top of colliseum mountain. An "all day" hike that took us...ooohh... four hours total. Finally a hoodoo!

Hey Hey Hey......if there is anybody out there who still reads my blog, i have summer pictures coming soon. I dont have the internet at my house yet, so i'm limited to when i'm at my parents, but i'll get my butt in gear yet! Just a question to throw out there.....if nature speaks to us of God, why is it we need the Bible?

So This is my deck....snazy hey? That is also my window you can see....and that is about it. I have more pictures to come though. I am all moved in (what few belongings i own) and slowly will furnish my new little space. Tomorow is grocery shopping day. So far i have lived on what i scrounged from my parents pantry and freezer. tuna and dry toast. It's different, this living on my own thing....

Once upon a time there was a pair of shoes.These shoes probably got made in a factory by a scarcely paid indonesian child...but we wont go there.Eventually these shoes made their way over the ocean to a store in Penticton B.C. and a little tag was put on them declaring their worth at 100,000 times the price that they cost to make.An, at that moment, thriftless consumer, who shall remain nameless,

So some friends (Heidi and Brian) invited me to go climbing out at skaha in penticton B.C. I LOVE CLIMBING!! I haven't been outdoor climbing in probably two years, so i dusted off the old harness and shoes for the big trip! Here Heidi and Ken are showing off their talent...oh and the yet to be born baby is also getting some action on the rock. We met this little guy on the rock too!! wow did he

Nicole and I went for a hike on saturday and it supposedly had some pretty impressive hoo-doos as part of the scenery. If you dont know what hoo-doos are, they look something like this: (note: this is a random picture, we did NOT see these hoo-doos :) They are kind of like pillars of rock formed by erosion...so anyway, we were supposed to see some on our hike. so we hiked.....and hiked.....and

Here is a rundown of my day....what was and/or will be good:1. I gave my students a study day, which for the two that showed up, was great, and it meant i didn't have to prepare a whole lot which was also great2. I got a raise3. One of my client's gave me an iced coffee as a tip4. I sat in the park and read my book drinking in the fragrance of white lilacs in the tree above me5. I enjoyed the

OTTAWA!! This means TERESA!!! YAY! Look at that babe! Our first day took us to the Gatineau hills. In spring it is right inbetween pretty tree times. No green leaves, no orange or yellow leaves...just branches. We did hear some woodpeckers though and one even pecked on command! The main parliment builidng taken from Hull. The round structure is the library of congress. we really wanted to tour it

Every time i come home from a bit of a trip, i have the hardest time getting out of bed to go to work the next day. Its like i've become this lead weight with no motivation for working. i guess my body and brain just like holiday mode too much really. So i am back at work today from a bit of a jaunt to our nations capital, and it's going ok, i managed to drag out of bed....later than i wanted to.

Is this not the cutest fish face you've ever seen???? this is dwight. He belongs to me and my friend Nicole, who for lack of anything better to do decided to look at the animals in petland and came out with a fish! This is Dwights home and his friend Willis. Willis was bought for company, but he's a bit of a bully....probably becuase dwight looks like a bit of a nerd, but geeks are cool so i must

Sometimes you only see how far you've come by observing somebody else in a situation you used to be in. This feels good knowing you've progressed, advance, learned....become more confident, and can be in a place where you can be an example to others because of your experience. hmmmm...this could have Christian life principles written all over it, but i'm referring to pilates.
