My family is here in Abbotsford for the weekend. They left "heaven" after work and drove all nite, arrived here 2:30 in the A.M! We been mostly chilling out and watching movies (Jeepers Creepers is s-t-u-p-i-d). Yo and I are trying to get our papers and books done at the same time. I HAVE TO if I want to go to Nemiah with Lifeteams, which I would REALLY WANT TO. So if you're reading this, pray for my obedience. Some of my projects are not so much "fun" to do. "My head has fallen off" and I am now jus gettin it back on. I can laugh at all this, laugh at myself, when it's all done. AFTER it's all done. It's funny cuz through all this.. I still feel at peace. I am so relieved but uneasy about this at the same time. Should I feel so peaceful about my schooling when it's not looking so good for some classes? Hmmm.. "usually" this would CONSUME me and be one of those things that boot me "out of whack". But I'm not consumed by it. God's given me peace about it. And really, God's centered in my schooling. I'm learning all I can and trying at least. But still, God's given me this year to be at school, I am reminded to honor God in all that I do through my life, actions, work and school. And for school: I'm honoring God, honoring Nemiah, honoring me.
But anyway, yes there's a reason the picture above is there. Tonite we had take-out. Kunfu chick'n! It's been awhile since we've had chinese. It was good! So good. Really good. Because we make our food here at the apartment, we jus haven't gone out for while. And so we had chinese. It's a lil more special cuz our family is here.
You know.. being the children of James and Phyllis is such a blessing. They do so much for us. They've raised us, we are who we are because of them. They drive all night jus to spend time with us. They drive the whole 8 hours to meet our teachers for interviews. They drive forever to see us at our graduations and birthdays. I'm sure if we were in the states or even on the other side of the world, they would still come and see us. Lol I know I'm exaggerating (sp?). But they are there for us. Thank you mom and dad! I haven't forgotten...

Dirtbiker? I'm on Vancouver Island now, but used to live in the valley.
Countless times up the Chilliwack river to the lake and beyond the far end of the lake high up into the plateau looking across at the black mountains on the US side.
Stayed over night once and the temperature dropped like a rock. So much so the Black Mountains that absorbed heat all day would crack like a rifle shot due to the extreme temperature swings.
Great wildlife up there. Camera in hand for elk and the cute whistling picas. Half rabbit, half prairie dog.
The bear always seemed well behaved. Civilized in fact. One only had to slowly turn a side to the bear and they understand the gesture as *Live and let live*.
