1. Decemeber 24-29 I flew to my homeland. Which is literally my homeland as it is an island. It was absolutely wonderful to see everyone. I don't know what I would of done if I hadn't of been able to go. I was so grateful to my family for flying me home. It was a crazy experience flying so much by myself. By the end of this I am going to be a pro. I managed to go through the Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and obviously Charlottetown. I chatted with a guy on my flight from Calgary to Ottawa, who turns out was going home to Cape Breton.. Even better: We knew a mutual person! I love when that happens. I loved seeing my family. It was such a treat. I am also incredibly happy I got to see some of my very close friends. They have seen me through a lot. The trip was so rushed though that when I left it was really sad, but I was nice to fly back to Lethbridge. I really came to the realization that this is definitely where I am suppose to be.
2. December 27-Jan 4? Cory flew to Lethbridge. So when I got home on the 29th Karen came and picked me up from the airport and I got to spend time with him here. We have really became so much closer since he has gotten home from his mission. I am so grateful.
3. So started again. I love what I am learning but it is so hard! Wednesday, Thuersday, and Friday I have 8am classes. I DON'T DO CLASSES THAT EARLY! It is so not in me to be able to do that. It kills me! I am very lucky to have my friend Liz in all my classes. She is such an amazing girl, and I am so happy to have met her! Also, I have practicum at the end of the semester which means a) My classes are all condensed so that I have 4 weeks for practicum at the end and b) I get to actually go out and help people! I'm so PUMPED!
4. CORY AND KAREN ARE ENGAGED!!! So this happened January 20th. I was so lucky, I got to be involved in so many parts of the lead up to the proposal. Cory sent me a picture of the ring he was thinking of getting, and so many other parts! I am so happy for them. Like crazy excited. They are so adorable together and I know they both mean so much to each other. I am so happy they are going to be sealed together for time and all eternity. So grateful for that.
5. Though I don't like working because I am lazy sometimes, I have the best job. Though I don't get paid a ton or anything crazy. I get to engrave things, I get to help people give the best gifts and I also have a great manager. She is also a very wonderful woman, definitely someone I could go to advice and we very a like.
6. Some things I have realized I missed recently: a) pizza or poutine outings with Scott. b) daily conversations with Charmaine c) girl talk with Alyssa d) being able to see my Mom e) Home cooked meals f) not worrying about money.
Delicious!
8. My SUPER good friend David leaves on his mission to Colorado in 16 days! FREAKIN' CRAZY! I can't believe it. I am so proud of him. Like unbelievably.
