It's me again :)

K so being away from everyone  is making me realize the true colours of people.. It's kind of bitter-sweet. Im realizing that people you thought were genuine and not like everyone else are exactly how they you thought they weren't. I am not wasting my time on people who only care about themselves or don't care about other people's feelings. I really don't care anymore. I'm going to go home a different person I can promise that much and some people are going to be in for a rude awakening.

Anways enough about people that don't deserve my energy :)


Yesterday we volunteered at the BC Children's Hospital fundraiser. It was at the Friendship centre down the street from our house. They were raising money for the Hospital and people from the community came to support in the cause. We went to help sell tickets for the auction and gave out auction paddles, Melissa and I worked at that table. We had many laughs just sitting there talking about random stuff that nobody knows understands why it's funny but we laugh SO hard. Isaac and Jared did coat check. Brandon worked in the kitchen. Katelyn was at the door taking the tickets from the people who were coming to the event. Zoe, Marc-Andre, Sarah, Ryan and Evelyne were scattered about making sure everything was going smoothly and helped with setting up the buffet. Kyra sold playing cards for a chance to win a diamond ring. Oh! Melissa and I also had a very fun job on top of our ticket selling task. We helped wash ALL of the dishes from dinner and dessert. How great does that sound? Jealous I know, you don't have to tell me :) But we had so much fun doing that too. The other girls that were helping there and washing dishes on the other side couldn't understand why were laughing HYSTERICALLY for no reason, they would just look at us with confused faces and we would explain that we were not intoxicated because that was PROHIBITED in Katimavik ha ha. So that was my night last night, selling tickets for an auction, babysitting a cute baby and washing over 100 dishes, then coming home and knitting. I feel like a grandmother..




Everything set up before everyone arrived.

Working at the ticket table and babysitting this little cutie!

 SO next week we are billeting. Which means all 11 of us are going to stay with different families in the community. Melissa has been going to see different people who have billeted Katimavik participants in the past. She was going to send me with this one family who is really nice and the lasy does scrapbooking and knits and stuff, they also have a canoe and a plane and stuff. BUT she went to meet this lady yesterday and she came home and said to me, "I need to send you with this lady. You will love her. She is so nice and cute. She knits! You are the kind of person who will stay with her on a Friday night and knit with her. You have to go there. You will have a good time there." So I was pleased with that. I am very excited to learn how to knit more! I am almost done my scarf! It's cute :)

Tomorrow I am at StrongStart. I haven't been at the school in like 2 weeks because I was house managing and then it was Thanksgiving. I miss Pat and the cute little kids. It's fun there. I am also excited to go to the Manor on Tuesday. I love those seniors! It is going to be hard when I leave and go to Quebec. Let's not think about that right now..

Today was a very relaxing day. I knitted all day, and listened to some of Kyra's short stories. She is an AMAZING writer. Holy Moly! We had our KCC meeting tonight after dinner.So we talked about the activities we are going to do this week and now the family is watching a movie. Some of them are watching Killers with Ashton Kutcher adn Katherine Heigl, and the others are watching Into the Wild with Emile Hirsch (sooo cute!)

And im writing away.

Here are random pictures that I haven't had a chance to add because I didn't have them until now!

Our common area, this is where we play crib, read, sit and relax, talk and watch movies.
We can't have technology in this room. Its the tech-free zone in the house, with the exception of
movies, that is if everyone agrees and if not, we have to go downstairs to watch it.

This is my room. My bed is the bottom bunk that is un-made with noone in it.
I know mother it is messy. Nothing changes! :)

This was our first attempt at bread. We let it rise for a little to long.
All part of the learning process. he he



Zoe, Marc-Andre, Kyra, Katelyn, and Me!
Coming back from a walk from somewhere. Maybe Tim Hortons or The Bean?
Those are the two Hot Spots in Vanderhoof :)

 I hope you enjoyed reading about my fun weekend and looking at how I'm living.

Wherever you go, no matter the weather, ALWAYS bring your own sunshine!
