Well folks, it's been a very busy time in and around the end of the semester, and the beginning of the holidays. I've written four out of my five finals, most of them were challenging, but I don't feel too bad about them. Saturday was the funnest day of my exam week, cause my and my roomies had our own christmas celebration. Saturday evening, we spent walking around the calgary zoo, looking at all the lights, it's like park&Tilford gardens, only bigger. It was cute. Umm after that, we went to subway, then watched some xmas movies, then we baked cookies at one in the morning, then we slept out in the living room underneath the christmas tree. The next morning, we woke up and opened our stockings that each of us filled for one another. It was good fun. Then, if you can believe it, we took down all our christmas decorations, and cleaned/redecorated our whole apartment. it's grand, we're enjoying it immensley. Dont think I spelled that right. oh well.
I'm not going to make this long, just letting you know that i'm alive, and that I'll be home in 20 hours. Woot!
So i'll update once again from home.
I hope, if I dont see you, that you have a wonderful christmas, and lots of love!
Love Forever
Ashley

Falling Down
I had a good weekend.
It started with me bussing up north to Edmonton, and my aunt picked me up at the bus depot, then we went to the mall, it was grand. We were going to go and watch a movie, but we were both too tired. So we went to the house, and then saw my uncle. He went to bed and then my aunt and I stayed up wrapping presents. It was a good time. In the morning, I was awoken by my likke cousin, it was kind of cute, but annoying at the same time. So I got up, it was my uncles Bday, and in the morning, he and I went to the store, to buy some groceries in the jeep. It was amusing, we went to park, and my uncle decided it would be funny to drive over the curb, and scare the crap out of me. So he did. And it was grand. Then we went for lunch, and then I took the kidlets ice skating, it was so great, cause I was there, tying Bobbys skates up, and it just reminded me of all the times Glen took Aleta and I skating, and he'd have to tie up my skates. (Aleta's Dad) It was a random moment of reminiscing.
So we skated, and I've never had more fun, Alexis was very independant, she skates like a pro, and I was so proud of her. Then Bobby, it was the cutest thing, he'd hold onto a bar, and then try to skate, and he'd look like he was running, but he wouldn't move an inch, and Then he'd give up and sit down.. It was amazing fun. I'd push him across the ice, and he'd giggle like mad, and then he'd want to sakte without the bar, and he would take these little baby steps, and fall over, then his big sister would come to help him up, and they'd both fall back over, laughing their heads off. I got some good videos of it.. After that, I drove the kids to wal-mart and bought them each a belt.. just cause.. And we went back home and had a huge dinner thing for uncle david's bday. It was nice. Then, Me, Uncle David and Auntie Jana went to go see the Narnia movie, it was fun.
Umm Sunday morning.. oh sunday morning! It was glorious, we went to Alexis's ringette game, and it was great to see these six year old kids with more talent for ringette than i'll ever have. I was so proud of my likkle girl.. Her jersey Number was "Samson 19"
It was a grand day.. Then we all went to the mall, and I spent most of the time with the kids in the amusement park, while David and Jana did their xmas shopping, and I didnt mind, It was great, cause they're just such good kids..
So that was that for that. Sunday night, I went to see my aunt play soccer, and I dont know how she managed it, when she constantly complains about pain in her back, but she did, and she was good. It was fun..
Monday morning, I woke up when Alexis decided she wanted to cuddle with me, and let me tell you, she has some of the worlds worst morning breath. It was amusing.. She came down at six in the morning, i tried to get her to go back to sleep, but that didnt happen, no sah!
So that day, Uncle David and I went, with Bobby, to return some bottles and cans, to get his hair cut! It was so cute, he sits up straight in the chair, like nobodys business, and just smiles the whole time, until he gets hair in his mouth, and then he pouts, but he still loves getting his hair cut. Anyways.. then I left that afternoon, it was sure nice to see them..
So here I am now, today was my last Missions class, my last Cultural Perspectives class, and my last Pentateuch class! It was amazing grand. I got 90% on both my papers, and 95% on my reading and reflection (all 10 pages of it, goodness me)
I also got a great mark on my Christian Spirituality paper, now all i have to worry about is CP..
Two more classes for the semester, and only four exams to worry about.
So I was listening to POD today, for some reason, and I was paying attention to the Lyrics.. Now, I've always thought that POD was a christian Band, and some aspects of the band, (their name, for instance) still suggest that. But I got really confused. POD mentions the name "JAH" in at least half of their songs. Now I've tried many times, with my history, to pass off the word Jah as another name for my God, but I've never gotten away with it... In the CD cover thingy, a couple of the singers praise Jah.. there's a song called "without Jah, nothin' " and so Im just a bit confused. are they christians who just happen to call God Jah? Or are they like.. rastas who believe in Jesus.. I mean, two of the boys have dreds.. I dont know.. Is there such a thing as a christian rasta? I emailed Duane, my old youth pastor, because he loved POD, and he's.. well.. my youth pastor.. So I'm hoping he'll have some insight, and if you do, feel free to comment, cause it'll probably help me..
Umm for now, I'm going to go cause It's nearly midnight, and i gots class in the morning.
Much Love
Forever

It’s been a long day for me.
I woke up this morning, and began to get ready for the day, the one I was planning to spend at the school, finishing up all my papers that are due tomorrow. I made myself a couple of sandwiches, and was on my way out the door, when the phone rang.
My aunt from Edmonton said that my mom was going to head to Edmonton for the weekend, because my uncle is having a hard time (due to the death of my uncle two months ago) It’s his birthday on Saturday, and I guess it’s just a hard time for all. So she proceeded to ask me if Mike and I could head up to Edmonton for the weekend, for us to be together during this hard time.
For me, it would have been no problem. But there is just so much going on that it sometimes seems impossible to get away. This is the last week of the fall semester of College, and so many things are due, exams are coming up, and stress is building. Plans fell through, things are crazy, and mom isn’t going to go to Edmonton anymore. So Mike and I were still going to go, but then he decided that he had too much going on this weekend for him to be able to go. But I’m still going to go. I mean, I had to work, but I’ve switched shifts with one of the girls there.
During all this confusion and stress, I’ve made some observations about family, ours in particular. I don’t know, it’s sort of random, but it’s also important, some of the things I’ve noticed.
To make it plain and simple.. no matter how far away our family is from each other, we are so tight. Unless it’s absolutely impossible, we are willing to drop everything, and come together to support one another. I mean, even though it was so financially impossible for all of us, we all headed out to Nova Scotia together to share in our grief in October. It was not necessary for all of us kids to go, but.. we did.. Because it was important that the family be together.
I don’t know, this has been one of the hardest years ever. What with my dad getting sick, and so much more. But we are still a family, still standing together. My uncle’s birthday in November, which I am thankful that I was home for, was pretty hard to deal with. I mean, does that make sense? No one wants to celebrate their birth so soon after the death of a loved one. And it’s the same for My uncle in Edmonton. He needs us right now.
The family feels like we shouldn’t be celebrating, because Uncle Derrick isn’t here anymore to celebrate with us. Even though it’s hard, We need to move on. I mean, It’s not easy for me to say that, I don’t want you to think that I’ve just shrugged off everything that’s happened. I still hurt every day, and even typing this out is hard to deal with. I still miss him every day, but I know that Uncle Derrick, if he knew he was going to die, he would have said to us, not to be sad, not to stop celebrating things that are meant to be celebrated. Uncle Derrick was a happy man. He loved celebrating. He would not want us to just stop everything, to stop being happy. He would not want that. I know that the family has to go through the grieving process. I know that we need to cry once in awhile, I know that it’s ok to miss him. But I also know that it’s ok to go on living life as well.
This is going to be a very difficult Christmas this year. We, as in my mom, dad, brother and I, are going to be spending our first Christmas in Ladner in a long time. When I first found out, my reaction was that my Christmas is going to suck, because everyone’s going to be crying and depressed. And that was really, really selfish of me. I am ashamed to say that I even thought that, let alone said it to my mom. This is going to be the time that we need to be together the most, because we are all still hurting. We need to be together, to be there to cry, to laugh, to do whatever it is we need to do. But we have to do it together. And we will, too. This is what I’ve learned about our family in the past while. Sure, we fight, we have our times, but in the end.. in the end we are family.. Nothing can take that away from me, not pain of death, not anything. We’ll hurt together this Christmas, and perhaps long after that. We’ve hurt together in the past. We’ll have to do it again.
But the point is that we’ll do it together…
That’s all I have to say for now about that.
I love you all very much, and I hope that everything goes well for you in the next little while. Thanks for listening to me.
Love Forever:
Ashley

Wierd!
It’s true that I can’t focus right now, so instead I am making myself look smarter than I am by typing really fast. I think its working. Instead of just sitting here, moving my head with the music, I am typing, and people might stop thinking that I’m just fooling around. Of course, there never was any proof that they ever thought I was just fooling around, but this is really just my excuse.. So now it looks like I’m working, unless of course, you are standing behind me and reading this. I can’t really work in silence like this, the library is just so stringent and professional, and it frightens me. I am, of course, listening to music, and it’s helping me to deal with the strict silence... A bit. But I still know that If I was to talk to crystal, or shaunna, who are sitting near me, (but not near enough to see what I’m typing) then I would be disturbing the golden silence of this room. However, there is a very cute boy who is sitting within my view, so I’m ok with the library.. Only a bit.. Man alive.. Someone just disrupted the golden silence by trying to get out of the library without signing out a book. So the electronic beeper thing beeped, and everyone looked around to see what de go on. Man alive. I kind of wish these computers had MSN.. They don’t.. It’s the library, these computers are supposed to be used for working.. Yep, that’s sure what I’m doing. Really, I’m just typing some gibberish.. I think I’ve mentioned (previously) how glad I am that I’m not at work right now. I think I would die if these computers didn’t have windows media player. I cannot handle the silence! But I’ve said that before. Just as I finished my other paper, Crystal and Shaunna came to the computer room where I was, and gave me a break. We headed over to Flavor Me pizza, and had a likkle bit of dinner.. Mmmm it was ok, but really, I’m so sick of pizza. That doesn’t mean that flavor me is bad pizza, it’s really good. But I just wish I could have one of my moms home cooked meals right about now. Well.. Not right this minute, cause I’ve just had pizza, and I’m no longer hungry.. Goodness me! I think that’s my new saying.. I like it. It’s fun.. Ok so what else Is going on? Well I really should be doing my paper, but updating my blog helped me last time, so I’m doing it again. Can you believe it? Two whole entries in one whole day.You know what I really hate? Microsoft word, and how it puts those likkle lines under everything you do wrong, and how it decides to edit your paper without asking, so if you number something, it decided to number everything else for you.. Or if you indent something, it indents the whole paragraph. I’ve tried turning auto-correct off, but it still does that stuff! It drives me so crazy that I feel like throwing the computer out the window.. Problem with that is, we’re on the 8th floor, and I would probably kill someone if I did that. Plus, I’d have to pay for the computer.. That’s never a good thing. These things tend to be sort of expensive, wouldn’t you say? I have a question.. Sort of random, but at the same time, not really. See, there’s this big portrait of Jesus on the wall by my computer.. I was just wondering where that image actually came from.. Because is it not true that we don’t know what Jesus looked like? I mean, it’s not like someone did a portrait of him while he was alive. Yet when we see pictures of this man, we know who it is supposed to be immediately. I just don’t understand that. Umm that's that for that topic..
Ok you know what's even wierder than pics of Jesus? Ummm I just tried to save my paper, and the computer, as well as all the computers around me were like.. "There is not enough memory to save the project.." And then all the sudden.. It just worked. Im confuzzled.! ! ! !
Ok so enough of that..
Things are wierd today.. I'm wierd today.. I need sleep, but i'll probs be up all night. So feel free to give me a call. Can't garuntee that I'll be home cause I'm still at the library, and probs will be for the next while.
So anyways.. Now that i've managed to vent into a blog, I'm going back to writing papers.
So best of evenings to you!

Chronic Procrastonitis
Hey Guess what ?!
Right now, I should be working on papers, but I've been doing that all day, and I've made a fair amount of progress, so I'm taking a break, and blogging. As I sit here, I tried to listen to music on my headphones, but this guy is sitting behind me and playing the guitar, and it's kind of annoying, cause he sucks! So yeah, that's what I'm dealing with..
Sunday night was the christmas banquet.. I had an overall great time, I got pictures taken with tons of hotties.. (according to Alison) Either way, it was fun shiz. We all looked amazing, except Shaunna made me wear red lipstick, and it was just so dark.. I mean, it looked ok, I was just a bit uncomfortable cause I never wear red lipstick. And that was that.. But I did get alot of great photographs from the evening, it was just a great amount of fun! The food was amazing, I've never before gotten second helpings of vegitables if I could help it, but they were yummilicious! And yeah.. To be perfectly honest, the MC's or.. whatever.. the people who were in charge of talking and announcing were kind of slow paced, and not too great at keeping the attention of the crowd.. But oh well. I enjoyed the slide show and the music though. It was well done.
Ohh I just sneezed and this really cute boy just said bless you.. I love it when that happens.
Hahahah off topic much!
Ummm things that don't involve school: I've been trying for the past two weeks to get ahold of Treston, with no luck, but then again, it's not just his phone, I cant seem to get through to anyone in Jamaica. See, Treston just bought a new phone, so there's no reason for it not to be working, except for DigiCel, the phone company.. it just doesnt seem to be working. Which is really irritating. And speaking of irritating, someone from Jamaica has been calling at my home phone number in Vancouver, at all hours of the night trying to get ahold of me, when he full knows that I live in Calgary! It's really ridiculous, and irresponsible, not to mention annoying! I mean, if it was treston, cause he lost my calgary number, and if it was a decent hour, no problem, but it's not, it's not, and it's not ok! I dont know, I just wish some people would take a hint and stop calling me, y'understan? Of course, I had to call him and tell him to stop calling my mom.. I mean, he called one time at four in the morning. That's not even remotely cool. Anyways. Enough about that. It looks like class just let out, and so lots of people are coming in here, making noise, but it's ok cause I'm not working on school work right now anyways.
Oh goodness. It has been quite cold here, So cold that I wear my PJ pants underneath my jeans, because by the time I get to school, my legs are numb, and that's not cool.
After the Christmas banquet, I went for a walk with a friend of mine, and it was so cold outside, that by the time we got back (we walked a fairly long way) my legs were so red adn frozen that I felt like they were going to fall off. It was not pleasant. Thus making the decision to not go out again without wearing two pairs of pants. I am actually quite tired right now. I have been working on school work since 1, and it's now four. I've only gotten one and a half papers done, it's just so distracting here. But res is no better, because I have no internet, and the computers downstairs don't have microsoft word.. so they're useless.
I have all sorts of excuses today, don't I? But it's true. I don't quite know what's keeping me from concentrating right now.. But oh well. Right now I'm really thankful that I'm not working tonight.. I usually do, but If I was, I would be up all night on wednsday. I might be anyways.. But we'll see. We shall see.
For now, I'm going to avoid procrastonating any further, so off I go..
Back to work.
Much love for now and ever

"I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled,
It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love
as I do tonight "
Right now, I should be working on papers, but I've been doing that all day, and I've made a fair amount of progress, so I'm taking a break, and blogging. As I sit here, I tried to listen to music on my headphones, but this guy is sitting behind me and playing the guitar, and it's kind of annoying, cause he sucks! So yeah, that's what I'm dealing with..
Sunday night was the christmas banquet.. I had an overall great time, I got pictures taken with tons of hotties.. (according to Alison) Either way, it was fun shiz. We all looked amazing, except Shaunna made me wear red lipstick, and it was just so dark.. I mean, it looked ok, I was just a bit uncomfortable cause I never wear red lipstick. And that was that.. But I did get alot of great photographs from the evening, it was just a great amount of fun! The food was amazing, I've never before gotten second helpings of vegitables if I could help it, but they were yummilicious! And yeah.. To be perfectly honest, the MC's or.. whatever.. the people who were in charge of talking and announcing were kind of slow paced, and not too great at keeping the attention of the crowd.. But oh well. I enjoyed the slide show and the music though. It was well done.
Ohh I just sneezed and this really cute boy just said bless you.. I love it when that happens.
Hahahah off topic much!
Ummm things that don't involve school: I've been trying for the past two weeks to get ahold of Treston, with no luck, but then again, it's not just his phone, I cant seem to get through to anyone in Jamaica. See, Treston just bought a new phone, so there's no reason for it not to be working, except for DigiCel, the phone company.. it just doesnt seem to be working. Which is really irritating. And speaking of irritating, someone from Jamaica has been calling at my home phone number in Vancouver, at all hours of the night trying to get ahold of me, when he full knows that I live in Calgary! It's really ridiculous, and irresponsible, not to mention annoying! I mean, if it was treston, cause he lost my calgary number, and if it was a decent hour, no problem, but it's not, it's not, and it's not ok! I dont know, I just wish some people would take a hint and stop calling me, y'understan? Of course, I had to call him and tell him to stop calling my mom.. I mean, he called one time at four in the morning. That's not even remotely cool. Anyways. Enough about that. It looks like class just let out, and so lots of people are coming in here, making noise, but it's ok cause I'm not working on school work right now anyways.
Oh goodness. It has been quite cold here, So cold that I wear my PJ pants underneath my jeans, because by the time I get to school, my legs are numb, and that's not cool.
After the Christmas banquet, I went for a walk with a friend of mine, and it was so cold outside, that by the time we got back (we walked a fairly long way) my legs were so red adn frozen that I felt like they were going to fall off. It was not pleasant. Thus making the decision to not go out again without wearing two pairs of pants. I am actually quite tired right now. I have been working on school work since 1, and it's now four. I've only gotten one and a half papers done, it's just so distracting here. But res is no better, because I have no internet, and the computers downstairs don't have microsoft word.. so they're useless.
I have all sorts of excuses today, don't I? But it's true. I don't quite know what's keeping me from concentrating right now.. But oh well. Right now I'm really thankful that I'm not working tonight.. I usually do, but If I was, I would be up all night on wednsday. I might be anyways.. But we'll see. We shall see.
For now, I'm going to avoid procrastonating any further, so off I go..
Back to work.
Much love for now and ever

Im wearing a pink sweater today
Today is the coldest I've ever been in my life. It is eighteen degrees below zero today. So cold! So I walked over to mcdonalds and met my brother so that we could go to safeway, and go to safeway we did. Micheal decided that the roads were too bad to drive on, and I have to admit that I agree with him, because we're from north vancouver, and we do not know how to drive in snow, and it could be scary. So we walked to safeway, and it was bloody cold. I didn't like it, but I got some groceries, and some baking stuff to make cookies with. I enjoy making cookies, so I'm going to.. Should be great. Ummm so that's what happened today. I have a class in about an hour, and now I'm here.
You know what's funny? I made fun of Crystal for buying Long Johns, because I didnt think it would ever be necissary, but now I am considering buying them. Every time my dad said "you're gonna need long johns" I was hoping that he was teasing me. But he sure wasnt. So When I go outside, the top half of my body is always warm enough because I wear a shirt, a sweater, and a gigantic jacket, and it's great. My hands, always covered in gloves, and my face, usually protected by the scarf I pull up over my nose, and my ears covered, almost always, by headphones and a hood. So that's not bad. But then I only have on a pair of jeans, and it get's so cold that I feel like my legs are going to fall off. So I'm going to start wearing sweatpants over my jeans on the way to anywhere, until I can get some long-john thingers. I feel like an icicle right now. It's so cold.
Two nights ago, at midnight, my brother called me and asked if I had any black make up that he could borrow. So I gave it to him, completely confuzzled.
Yesterday was my relax day.. I got home from classes and decided to do some drawing and coloring.. for something.... never mind what.. But it was my relax night. and I got felt all over my fingers. But halfway through, matt russell came into my apartment and asked me if I had any nail polish remover, cause he dressed up as a goth the other day, in honor of no-shave november ending. and he shaved his head, and it was scary, cause he actually looked like a goth. So anyways, he came into my apartment, and I did the best I could to get my nail polish off of his fingernails. It was so amusing. I found out what mike needed my make-up for. Matt actually did a good job with the make-up, I was impressed, and wondering why he was able to do such a good job with it.
But aside from that, I have a busy weekend ahead of me! I'm going to go christmas shopping tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to work on two of the four papers that I have due within the week. So If I get those finished, I'll be quite happy, and then I'll work on the other two sunday, possibly. We shall see. Either way, I will get them done, it's just a matter of when. So Sunday night is the christmas banquet, and I am quite excited, aside fom not having a date, it's going to be a fun event.
This guy asked my roomie last night, to go to the banquet with him, and then... he asked her what her name was.. I'm pretty sure that made her decision for her. I was amused by that.
You know what I am excited for? Getting fitted for my ... pink... dress for the wedding! IT's going to be fun, I love dresses. Umm what else. I want to get my hair braided in january, hopefully my auntie will be able to do it for me.
Ok, well I have nothing else to say, except that it's cold here.
I love ya'll!
Much Love

"This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud "
P.S. I'm wearing a pink sweater today.. It has snowflakes on it.. woo hoo?
