Isn't She Wonderful?

My holiday is over.

Miss you.

Death By Chocolate

Wa-cha-chai-yaaa!

-------

Flamingo and I had another wonderful day... today on Whyte. We had "coffee" at Starbucks, went to Death By Chocolate and Opas, got pierced and bought cool tees. And of course, wicked Graham met up too. I had more fun with these two in the last few days then I have in a long time.... other than the bonfire the other night...

-------

I'm so proud of Flamingo getting her belly button pierced! She debated over it for awhile but she decided to be adventurous and brave! Only one buddy could go in with her while she got it done, so me being afraid of needles, and Graham being the best support system, he went in while I sat and read the newspaper. A bit later Graham came out and told me she couldn't do it, that she chickened out... and I totally believed him, cuz I knew she was unsure. But then she came out and lifted her shirt to a very lovely pink jewel. :D

-------

In the picture shown... Graham and I are excited to find the Dandy Warhols add in the newspaper. Then we were sad because we couldn't go. Later that night, before we went to McDonald's (where he was sweet enough to buy us ice cream), his friend called and offered him a free ticket to... the Dandy Warhols! Like what the heck buddy... take me! haha pretty funny actually.

-------

Flamingo leaves me tomorrow. Most likely, I won't see her for months, which breaketh my hearteth. Why must she leaveth? Come backeth I say! ... k enough with the old English haha STAY!

-------

All I've eaten in the past few days... pop, twizzlers, chocolate, desserts, and fries. Oh, and pizza last night. Jeez man. Call me P.I.G... pretty indulging gal? haha ahem....

-------

I'm totally going to visit you oh anon commenter! Ontario will be ours! muahaha haha yea... bed time.

Altruism

Tonight was awesome.

Normally work sucks... but tonight I had rad company. Flem first off. I got to take her pictures :)

And her crazy friend Graham hung out all night while I took bad pictures of a Grad who wouldn't smile. We chatted and he's a pretty wicked male. Unlike a lot I've met, in his thinking and easy going-ness.

Then we went to Boston Pizza and Graham bought us all pizza. Free food yeyea!!

-------

Tomorrow we are hitting Whyte to take pictures and chill. Pretty stoked about that.

I love that Flem is here and all mine.

-------

Last night I had to fall asleep quick because I was going to puke... hott, I know. But here's why: She informed me that I have 3 weeks and 5 (now 4) days left until the move. I didn't realize it's that soon. And this upset me HUGE. Also, Flamingo is someone who gets me through everything and as soon as she got here... I let stress out, because I knew I could. So I think the release of all that stress added to my almost sickness.

But this is a good thing. The more I let out, the less I have inside right? But letting it out is kind of like.... throwing up.... so releasing the stress.... made me sick?

I know... that's weird.

-------

Life As We Know It.

We could create our own complete series.

And it'd be pretty great I'd say.

-------

Night to all who even read this... especially you "anonymous" commenter ;)

She Locked Herself In The Bathroom

Tonight I had an adventure.
Started off by going to Goldbar park for a bonfire with a few friends and ended being hit on by a drunk man on the bus.
Highlight of the night:
Supertramp love song on a harmonica :)

-------

Flamingo aka Carly is finally here!! It's about time too. I've been waiting almost 10 months. She's my favourite. You're all jealous.

:)

-------

We are sitting on my bed enjoying Leeland and talking about the good ol days.... our rivalries at camp and our good memories.

I think we agree that it'd be great to do it all over again... but would we change things? That's a tough question.

-------

She's my flower.

God Of All Creation

I'm totally abandoned to You
I'm lost inside the rivers of Your love
I'm swept into the power of
Your presence
Drawn toward the whisper of Your voice

I come to You in quiet adoration
And fall before Your feet
You are my King
I'm living for the beauty of Your Presence
To behold the glory of Your face

Holy, Worthy, is the Lord
Heaven declares
Your Rightousness
Oh God of All Creation
I worship You

Oh when You said 'seek Your face'
My heart said 'Your face I will seek'

Pink Bullets

That is Michael's ear.

I love how this photo turned out.

I didn't need to do any editing, it just worked perfectly.

-------

This weekend was awesome.

I went to Pine lake Camp for Dawn and Dean's wedding and it was so nice!

I was the official photographer :)

It was a simple wedding full of tight friends and famil, wii and bochi ball.

D and D make an incredibly beautiful couple and I got some super photos.

Ray and I had a great road trip too.

He is the coolest cat ever.

-------

I got my first Slurpee of the season!

I know, long time coming.

I've wanted one for months.

But the weather is just right.

And packing is making me thirsty!

-------

The Shins rock.

Let Everything That Has Breathe...

The boxes came today for moving. It was the craziest feeling... seems like we just finished unpacking from our last move five years ago. Seems like I spent my whole life here though... living in Ontario seems like a dream to me now. I don't even remember a lot about it... and I was 14 when I moved here. I guess I've just experienced "life" here, you know?

-------

It's so nice out today!!

Perfect for being outside :)

-------

When the night seems so long (throw your hands to the sky)

You can sing a new song (wipe the tears from your eyes)

When you're weak, He is strong
He can heal your wounded soul
And calm the storm inside

-------

This weekend I'm heading to Pine Lake Camp to take pictures of my friends wedding. I'm really excited... not only for the fact that they are getting married, but also to be at the camp, taking pictures, and finally seeing my good friend Michael Harbin... it's been almost a year. Way too long.

-------

For my 3D Design class we need to make a 3D model/ pop-up book of any piece of architecture. So.. being a huge Frank Lloyd Wright fan... I decided to try his "Fallingwater" house in the forest (it's so pretty... look it up on Google!). I think I may have chosen something completely out of my abilities in 3D design haha but you never know until you try right?

-------

I want college to end! This year I mean....

:D

Crazy Son!

I went to Calgary this weekend for a few reasons. Now, normally... actually, even still... I hate Calgary. The city is horribly ugly (sorry for all you who love it there) and there doesn't seem to be much more than houses and highways... notice this? It's... odd. Anyway... I saw the OC DYB and they blew me away! Being an Army kid and growing up around Brass bands, I could really appreciate the hard work and dedication those guys had. To be honest.... I was completely jealous! haha I used to play the horn... many years ago, but for some reason hated it at the time. I wish I hadn't given it up... I'd love to be able to play. Bass guitar just isn't the same...
But I'm super glad I went to Calgary, even though there were a few friends I didn't get to see. I met some really neat people... including an immaculate singer who I went to Sunday School with when I was young haha (yea... I love livin in a small world) so that was awesome :) I hope I run into some of them when I move to Ontario...

-------

I also got to see Uncle Mark... one of my most cherished teachers in the entire world. While he was the DYS in the Alberta division, he really became family to me... he taught me a lot and encouraged me as a person of God, to continue in what I was doing well, and challenge me on things that I needed to be challenged on. After 3 years, I finally got to see him again... and it was awesome!!

-------

I'm moving to Ottawa in 6 weeks. I'm really excited now. Moving on with my life... it seems this is the best time... God couldn't have planned it any better for me. Spiritually I'm at a high, and so eager to chase the world with my good news! One year of college done, with a certificate in Design.... excited to go on to take Photography at Algonquin and take pictures of God's beauty. I've been stuck in a boring, overly busy groove for the past 6 months and I need a break from the norm! Getting away will give me air to breathe! No more sleepless nights or bad dreams. And... some good friends of mine are also moving to Ontario... so having that support will rock too.

-------

Who wants to dance around and go crazy?

-------

Who is craving Slurpees and Ice Cream cones?!

-------

Who can't get over and stop noticing how artistic God is?

-------

I feel as though I may start to annoy some with my constant bragging about Jesus... but I can't help it.... he's just way too good to me. And truely my best friend!

I can introduce you to him if you'd like... I'm certain you'll like him too :)

Mind's Eye

I've come to realize the only thing I'm really passionate about it Photography (and Jesus) and nothing can turn me off about it (except Sears). One day I want to open my own studio where there won't be rules and stupid guidelines... since when did art require rules?

-------

I'm also going to start freelancing and shooting for weddings and bands and such. I've done one wedding, I have another coming up May long, and my friends band wants me to take their photos soon. That kind of stuff rocks! It's so much fun!

-------

Today I went to the Muttart Conservatory with Fred and we had fun. There's some pretty plants there... though I think we went at the wrong time of year. I saw a lizard, but it was fake. Then I saw a spider... NOT in one of the triangles... and it was real!!

I itched for a long time.

-------

Let me take your picture!
