Why start blogging?

Answer..someone told me to! I was complaining of having too much free time and so, was told I should write a blog. So this is the result..most of it will be random goings on and some will be so I can look back on my time in Canada and actually remember some of it..(which is a good thing as I have a woeful memory!) And its been a great experience living here. Its been hard at times but the good moments definitely out weight the hard moments:)

KFC - no longer friends are we.

so this is why i really shouldn't leave blogging for a couple of days because i forget far too quickly what i did. With that said its also the main reason i should really try and write every second day at least because i want to be able to remember some of my time in canada!


ok so thursday Naomi, Lydia's best friend came to visit along with her beautiful baby. I didn't actually see them until friday because they arrive late thursday night. They stayed in my room downstairs which meant i was in the guest bedroom upstairs. The nice thing and sometimes the bad thing about staying in the basement is that it is always cold. It doesn't really bother me cause its nice to be able to wrap up in a blanket and where super wooly pjs all year round:) So the rooms upstairs are not exactly as pleasant! it was so hot (and the thing was, i happened to be fortunate enough to stay upstairs when it wasn't even that hot outside (well compare to the last few days) . So what i gained from my few nights upstairs is a new found appreciation for my room downstairs and much respect for josh and lydia and isaiah sleeping upstairs when its that hot!


So friday - i can't remember friday..

so Saturday- it was cookstown's annual Wing Ding festival thingy:) when i arrived last year, pretty much from the first day i was in cookstown i was told about the excitment that is Wing Ding. How could someone describe wing ding..basically its where the little town of cookstown becomes filled with lots of people selling junk that the bought in the last years wing ding and then purchasing stuff they can sell in next years wing ding..or another way to describe it is as a HUGE yard sale:) it was alot fun to walk around although i didn't get a chance to get candy floss:( but i'm sure my teeth will thank me later! So the quote of the day was definitely from Adrien who was walking samson. Adrien was telling about moving out on his own and all that entailed. He was walking samson and came to the conclusion that he either needed a wife...or a dog:)

so Sunday was the day that me and KFC had a falling out! i got a popcorn chicken snack box
and felt very unwell afterwards! so i won't be getting KFC anytime soon!
I took samson with me to wing ding on saturday and while we were at the simpsons jeanine came in with a worried look on her face and told me that samson had ate some of myas food...fast forward to sunday and i understood why she was concerned! So when we got home after church we walked inside and lets just say we were greeted by a not so pleasant smell! upon going through the house we discovered that Samson had been sick and pooped inside the house (which he never does..he's the best dog ever and never goes to the toilet inside the house!) so yeah not cool!

Monday..was a quiet day..too quiet..so i called hannah and asked hannah if i could come over before i lost my mind to boredom! So she was nice enough to let me come visit and we chilled..did some grocery shopping..got starbucks..it changed her life (even if she won't admit it;) We looked at pictures..ate chips..looked at more chips and then it was time to go home. I like visiting the belvederes (i didn't hesitate this time typing your name;)



Naomi came to visit with her beautiful baby girl:)

one of the many reasons i love lydia:) and also another reason why she should never stay up late!
