Woah there cowboy!
Have you ever gotten the feeling that life is just moving way to fast for you? I've been that way in this past little while, it just seems that no matter what I do I can't keep up with myself. I know it sounds a little crazy and possibly it is but I just feel like I can't get caught up. Take for instance the ever growing mountain of laundry I have to do before friday so that I can pack and be ready to leave right after work on saturday, it just seems that when I get it all done I have another load to put in. It's always just one more load, I never imagined that my *free time* would be consumed with laundry. Sigh, possibly it's because it just gets away from me. I don't have a tonne of spare time as it is and I'm afraid that it's not going to get any better once I start regular classes. I think that I might be able to keep up a little better from the simple fact that even though I will technically be working harder, I will be doing a lot of work from home, which means that while I am doing homework I can throw in a load of laundry, or if I need a break (which I can most certainly say that I will) I can do my dishes. Who needs sleep anyways? lol, highly overrated. It's not just my chores that have been getting to me though. It's been a little bit of everything from potential relationship problems (if you need more details you will have to e-mail me because there are some people who do not need to know what I mean by that statement and others that may already know, or those who think they might know but just aren't sure, anyways not important) to work, even to spiritual stuff. I just feel like my life has been really full in the last couple weeks but not really fulfilling. Does that make sense? Are we called to be senseless drones that just go through life never really living? NO I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! NICE TRY THOUGH!!!!! Just because I am busy doesn't mean that I get to stop living. I still need to make time for God, and make time for me, in amidst the other thing of life. Have you found yourself at a standstill in your relationship with your heavenly father? Possibly it's because you are not making time for him and the mountains of things that you just expect him to deal with keep building up. Let me ask you this question.... if you had a friend who constantly expected you to do things for them but was never really grateful for it, or never really spent any time with you other then to make sure that you are meeting their needs, would you keep doing things for that friend? Probably not, so why then do we expect God to? I mean not all of us, and not all of the time, but most of us at some point of time don't' give God the recognition that he deserves. When was the last time you thanked God for the sun in the sky? I know for me it's been a while. I think at some point of time or another, we all take God's awesome creation for granted. We need to slow down, step back from the business of life and breathe. Inhale the presence of God, let him walk with you, and ask him what you can do for him for a change instead of always expecting. It's not bad to ask for things that you need, but possibly we need to take time to do for God instead of always just taking. I know the *sermon* is kinda random, but it's been on my heart, so think about it, ponder it, pray about it, talk it over with the big guy. Just don't ignore it, and tomorrow when you get up thank God for another load of laundry, it means that you have clothes to wear, and in that fact you are better off then some people are. Think about it. Luv y'all. Have a great night/day/weekend if I don't post again before then!!!!

AAAAHHHH I"m being eaten alive!!!!
Ok, so it's really not that bad, but the mosquito's are totally not even phased by my citronella candle that is sitting beside me and it is a million degrees hotter in the house then it is outside, so I decided to chance west nile and avoid heat stroke. I am officially taking some holidays (much needed I might add as I am almost certain that if I had to stay with that noisy bird for one day longer we would have had malakin stew. Not too sure how that would have tasted but I'm really glad that we don't need to find out. I am in kindersley at the moment. Got my loan papers signed and finalized and all of the finances in place for school in the fall so I am heading into the city to pick up some books on Wednesday then I"m not sure how I will spend the rest of my holidays. Probably back here, in kindersley, being bored, or catching up with my friends, I'm not too sure,. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. I'm not going to exhaust myself though, that is the main thing. I am on holidays for a reason, cause after I get back I only have two weeks of work then I am in Saskatoon at school for two weeks then back to Swift to start my regular fall session. It will be an interesting change in my life. Now instead of being up early to go to work, I will have to be up and fully alert early enough to learn, *groan*. I think that it will be ok though, actually I know that it will be ok, because if it wasn't going to be ok then God would have put a stop to it long before I started, starting with acceptance and finances and all that fun stuff. I know that this is the direction that I am supposed to be going, because everything has fallen into place, it's been great. Now as long as it keeps falling into place I will be one happy camper!!!
Have you ever sat back and just thought about how awesome your creator really is? I have been doing that a lot lately, with farm sitting, then tonight sitting out here, nothing really distracting me, watching the sun set, enjoying the cool breeze, and just thinking. There have been a lot of thunderstorm's lately and everytime there is one, I am reminded of how great and powerful God really is, and I'm not sure that I could even do it justice to explain it, it just makes me feel so small, but knowing that the Lord of all creation loves me and cares for me even if I was the only person alive, makes me feel so significant, so even in the feeling of smallness, I still feel uber important. It's a good feeling. I'm going to go and enjoy the awesomeness of it all, you should to!! Goodnight blogging world!!

Here I go again...
So once again I have promised an update that has become long overdue. I don’t have an excuse as to why except for the fact that I got busy. Story of my life, busy busy busy..... oh well... Not that in my non-blogging span you have missed too much, it’s not like I have any big news, the most exciting thing that happened was my fiasco with breaking into my house, and I think that is probably a story for another time, as humorous as it is. I just finished reading a phenomenal book by Ted Dekker. I don’t know if any of you read his work or not, but he is a suspense author who writes some really great novels. The one I just finished is called Adam, and I would really not recommend it to people who frighten easily as it is as much a thriller as it is suspense. It is a really good book though. It was very thought provoking and made me think a lot which is ideal for a novel to do because it keeps your mind fresh right? Except for the fact that you miss a lot of sleep in anticipation for the next chapter. I should have possibly waited until I had a few days off to start reading it, but I didn’t so it has been a few late nights, but for the most part I read it on our way to farm calls. I have still been pretty tired for the start of this week; possibly it’s a Monday thing. Lol...... Other then that I really lead a boring life. It should hopefully pick up a bit in September when I start back to full time classes, which I am super nervous about, a little bit of doubt creeping in, I know, but I am also very excited about it. I’m not even sure why I would be nervous, but I guess it’s just part of starting anew adventure. I am sure that this is the direction that God is taking me because all of the doors have been opened; I haven’t had to pry them open. The information was there, and there were a couple stumbling points but it was mostly misunderstanding, all the paper work went through where it was supposed to and things are moving along very smoothly. I just hope now that I can get back into the groove of studying a lot, lol. I love to study though, I love to learn and I am confident that once I get back into the groove of things that studying will once again become second nature. I can also guarantee that I will never find as good of friends as I found when I was in Vermilion. Hopefully though, I can expand my variety of friends, and who knows, maybe I’ll meet some people who are almost comparable to my vermilionites ( my new word for the day referring not to those who live in vermilion but to those who I met while I was there.... just to clarify.) Anyways, speaking of being tired, I should get going, work will come all too early in the morning. I am not going to promise to write again, because honestly we all know that I will put a time frame on it that will come and go without a blog, so I guess the best thing to do is to check back often, leave a comment if you want and if you are getting sick of reading the same blog over and over again, then tell me to write new one, I’m sure that I can scrounge up something, who knows I might even share my house entrance story, lol. Have a good one blogging world!!!

Forever and a day
Thats how long it feels since I have last posted, and to say that I have a good excuse as to why I haven't posted would be a lie. Oh I could probably think of a million reasons why I haven' posted, but none of them would be any good. I thought though, since I have decided to start back to school I should possibly start up an outlet as to keep in touch again. I have been really awful at keeping in touch with people and I apologize for that. It is my pledge right now tonight that I will try with all of my might to at the very minimum post here once a month and e-mai lonce a month. I am attempting to set an easy goal at this point in time because my schedual remains hectic. I suppose at some point in time that I may have to change the name of the blog again as well, I will be a super vet student, not a tech, I suppose I can remain a super tech though, until the time comes that I write my national exam. That will be a few years yet. I am excited and nervous all at the same time and there are some days where I honestly wonder what I am getting myself into because my days are long and hard as it is, why would i want to throw another 8 hours of studying on top of my already hectic life, then I am gently reminded that it will all be worth it in the end and I won't even remember what the big deal was all about. Besides sleep is overrated. I dont' think that I have had a long nights sleep in, well I can't even remember the last time that I slept a good solid 8 hours. I must apoligize for the errors on here as well, I am trying to get used to typing on my new laptop and the key board is a little different than the computer I had before so I often find myself hitting the wrong key, I suppose that will improve when I get used to it though, hopefully anyways or I won't be able to understand my notes, lol. Anyways I suppose thats all for now, I will write again tomorrow after church, for now I will say goodnight!
