I am going to Spain/Morroco at the end of May for Study abroad. I knew Kyra was planning on going, and she had talked about it for awhile. One day she mentioned that I should go, I had never really thought about it, but the more I did, who would not want to go... so I prayed about it and searched it out and.. I decided to go. Its a study abroad program, so I can get 6 credits which is great since I am not taking summer school this year... and Derek (my brother) is also coming! I am extremely excited. Ive always wanted to travel (out of N America) and now here is my chance!
Check this Video out.. pretty amazing... shows how God gives people amazing talents.

One for Jan. Lessons and Songs.
Oh wow, it has been almost a month since I have last wrote. Starters, hmmm, where to start. I absolutely love my classes, in particular, the ones that are for my major. They honestly make me so excited to teach, and even more glad that I added Special Ed onto my major.Nothing to major has changed..I recently took up being a Math tutor which I am kinda excited for, since it is still fresh in my head. I stubbed my toe a couple days ago, not just any stubb, The stub against cement. Its looking a lot better, doesn't hurt so much, but now we just wait for my nail to decease (fall off), ick.
Ohhh I decided to become a seller on Amazon, a seller of text books! I think I will keep most of them, but there is a few where they would probably collect dust, so why not put them to use in someone else's hands. So far so good, I learned shipping by MEDIA mail is the smart way to ship, IE if you don't it costs an arm and a leg. It is also cheaper to buy shipping supplies such as the big white envelopes at the Post office, learned that lesson too! Last lesson, you do NOT, I repeat, you do NOT have to pay for priority shipping packaging at the post office ( but if you ship priority and get a plain envelopes, you DO).
the song I can not stop listening/playing ...
Overcome
-Desperation Band
Favorite part of the song, part that I listen to the whole song for... the bridge....
Try listening to it if you have not already.
---It was VERY warm out day, yay.
Until next time.

It's a Wrap.
I hope you all had a great Christmas! Christmas this year was really good. We had a ton of family time, had two baby's first Christmas (Raiden and Ellia), and a huge amount of snow. I decided to stay here for the break, no trips to Canada, but I am hoping I can make some this summer like the usual!
This past year has been a good one! This winter Ive learned the art of shoveling, how great the ice chipper can be, and how its a challenge to walk Duke in heaps of snow.
Somehighlights.
-Purchasing my car.
-Being blessed with my piano after a long, but worth it, wait.
-Graduating, and of course, starting college.
---From the beginning..
In school, I never had a problem with grades, but I never tried my hardest. Yah, I did all my homework, crammed for exams, and did pretty good, but I never engaged in my learning. My Junior year, I was not home a lot. Out with friends, still getting homework done and all that jazz, but doing the very least to get by. My senior year then came. My parents pushed me to do things a little bit differently. Pushing me to focus way more on school, and trying my hardest(they knew I was capable of more then I was putting forth). At first it was hard, but I found I loved school all the more. Being able to remember things after the test happened and just gaining new knowledge everyday. I am so glad they challenged me with this my senior year because it helped set me up on good grounds.
This past semester, I set a goal for myself in what I wanted to see in the end result. It was hard, because there was many times where it felt like I wouldn't be able to achieve it, but I kept on keeping my eyes, first focused on God, and then of course, doing all that I could to make it possible..... In conclusion... With God, all things are possible.
-All the new additions.(Raiden, Ellia, Duke)
-Learning the importance(more) of family.
---God has really taught me how important they are. They have shown me how they will always be there for me. That they will love me no matter what mistakes I make, and will always be there to lift me up and be examples in my life. With out them, I know I would not be where I am today. I LOVE YOU ALL.
.
I want to shout out to my sister Kasey, I do not know what I would do with out her! Growing up I had always wanted a sister who I could live with, and you know do all the sister stuff, that well brothers just cant do, and I am so glad God gave me her! I can always count on her to stay up late with me, actually her stay up late, and me fall a sleep! A couple days ago, we bought a harness for Duke, hoping the Husky side could pull Kas on a sled. Didn't work so well when I wasn't helping him pull... I guess it doesn't help that we teach him not to pull when going for walks. But hey, it was fun while it lasted.
All in all...
HAPPY NEW YEARS.

makes me chuckle.
Photo taken summer of '08 in Edmonton. We took a series of them, but this one makes me laugh! Mainly because every everyone has their own thing going on..
.
Letss See.
I AM DONE ALL MY FINALS!
It is kinda strange to be done, even though I absolutely love school, I am ready for a break. Plus I'm excited for my next schedule. I Had 3 of my exams in one day, so it was nice to get the majority of them done at one time. It is starting to warm up, I know this because Duke does sit and shiver as much when he is in the backyard.... and actually today, he preferred to stay outside in the back yard which has been unheard of for days! But yes, everything has been going pretty good that lasst few days... until next time... Have a great Christmas!

Cold Winters. Music. Kids.
We have gotten heaps of snow! I love it, VERY cold, but looks pretty.!
There is usually certain songs that I like from the moment they begin, this one I like from the start. They actually played it on the radio once before it came out, but then I could not listen to it after that because the CD was not released...so I eagerly waited. Great CD from beginning to end, "Hello Love."
Here is the Lyrics to..
" I Will Rise"
--Chris Tomlin
There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul I can say "It is well"
Jesus has overcome And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won He is risen from the dead
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
And I hear the voice of many angels sing, "Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart, "Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the voice of many angels sing, "Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart, "Worthy is the Lamb"
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
I just got back from doing my running around, meanwhile I stopped at my grandparents and my grandma and I played for each other on her Baby Grand. Nothing like the sound, so full, amazzing.. I could play for hours (literally).
Two kids who I am thankful for.
