Im yours

Im such a horrible person.. What kind of girl goes to Mexico for a month and then doesn't blog when she get's home!?
Obviously me..
Anyways, enough of that. Mexico was an interesting experience for real. The first week I spent in a womens shelter, and it was pretty horrible, because I got super sick and things just weren't working out there. So after four days of not eating and all sorts of other nasty illness-like behavior, Sergio Gomez came to pick me up, because Pete had called him from Canada, cause things just weren't bieng taken care of, anyways.. He took me to a doctor, and I had to get all sorts of medicine to make me feel better. At that point, I was ready to be home, in Vancouver, anywhere so long as I wasnt at the shelter anymore.
Sergio asked me if I wanted to spend the rest of my time in the Orphanage, and I said I would give it a try. From there on out, the story is simple. I fell in love with the kids and everything to do with the orphanage. I went with them to get thier school uniforms and shoes, I drove them to school almost every day, (I wasnt 'driving' but I went with them)
Israel and his wife took amazing care of me, they took me to Rosarito, where I spent the afternoon with them at "Fox Studios Baja", where Titanic was filmed, and X-men and all that stuff.. it was sooooo great.
I also spent a couple of days in Ensenada, with Israels family, which was just as great, if not better than fox studios. Either way, it was great. I ate mexican food, I learned alot of Spanish, I worked very hard to avoid the very cute boys who were soooo hard to resist..
To sum it all up, because I dont want to write a 20 page update (not right now anyways) I fell absoloutely in love with that childrens home, the kids, the staff, everything. As of right now, Im planning to go back, if not for the whole summer, at least for a month. Something like that.
God will provide if he wants me there.

Umm so whats new in my life? Today I went to Capilano College and asked about application procedures, and the guy in the Registrars office said, as I was leaving, "welcome to Cap College" and i was thinking .. "Dude, I havent even applied.. That's pretty sweet"
So, if things go well, I'll be going there in January.

Also, I got a job at Starbucks.. It's rather amusing, I went to the Park and Tilford location, and asked for an application, and the manager asked me if I'd be willing to apply at the Dollarton location (which is 10 minutes closer to my house) She called the manager at that store, and told her my name.. I went there around one o'clock with a filled out application form and a resume, and Sara (the manager) asked me if I could stay for an interview right then.
To be honest, it was the best interview I've ever had, I felt relaxed, and the questions were not easy, but at the same time, I thought them through before I answered, and I did really well. I must have, because she offered me a job right then and there. I start next week. Im excited, because it's something different, but at the same time, it's something I know I'll enjoy doing.

Also, I am going to be working on youth staff, which is going to be interesting for sure. We'll have to see how that goes. I mean, my last couple of years at NSA youth were really frustrating, but I hope this year I can have patience and just adjust to the way things are, and if im not ok with it, Pray about it and do what's right.. anyways, we'll see how that goes..

Im really excited right now cause Whit's coming home for the weekend, and then Im going to see her at Universtiy next weekend, cause it's almost her birthday..

Anyways.. that's a short update on my life at the moment.
I missed blogging! I think I'll do it more often ..

Love you all
Love Forever

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved
So, i won't hesitate no more,
it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate
our time is short
this is our fate,
i'm yours
